You’re probably right, I gotta get new batteries, battery junction sent me counterfeits

Try IMR batteries, they are a reputable dealer.

Then, get the right batteries for how you vape. What are your ohms and what wattage do you run at?

Stick with the following stores. They are on Mooch's recommended vendor list. Mooch is the resident battery tester/geek.

Uh oh, that's not good. How did you determine you got counterfeit batts?

They sent me a safety email about the battery quality is not good & to throw it out and they give me a refund . Then I looked up on mooch about counterfeit batteries, his guide helped me out to determine the battery was fake.

WOW, that's interesting. At least they alerted you and refunded your money. That's honest but it makes you question their reliability and their ability to source authentic batts. Thanks for the heads up.

Ohms are kinda confusing to me, the mod is a smok morph 2 230 wats with tc.

What wattage do you vape at in a regulated mod like your morph?

 

[RiRi0093]

Between 35 & 45, it gave me the best flavor with my Rda

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

What ohms do you vape at?

Just stick with the 18650 batts in the 3rd column from left below ("high power 18650" column)

Thanks, the ohms is between 0.03 to 0.45.

Good idea to keep your eye on 18650batterystore's deal of the day page. Nothing good right now but they often have great batteries from the 3rd column above on sale for $4 or less. For a while there they had the Molicel P26A on sale frequently.

Will definitely check them out

Thanks, the ohms is between 0.03 to 0.45.

.03 is close to being a hard short... .00 is a hard short. There's no margin for error in this, which is likely why the mod isn't reading the atomizer... a regulated mod is designed so that it won't fire in a danger zone like that.

If your fluctuating between .03 and .45 on the same coil, there's something wrong with the coil or how its mounted.

Try replacing the coil with a new one, and make sure that it's mounted properly, you've screwed your leads in tightly and the coil isn't touching a metal surface (like the deck or the posts)

You might like an ohms reader to check your ohms levels... I have a coilmaster 521 mini tab and it works beautifully as a build deck and to check my ohms levels... I found mine on a sale for 8.99, but even regular price is only 20.00..

Here element vape has one in stock:
Coil Master 521 Tab Mini V2

Smok as a brand doesn't have consistent quality control... so its not reliable enough to trust in its accuracy, but with that kind of a swing in ohms, and you being a new builder, it could very well be user error so it's good to try another coil just to see...

Opinionated is correct. That mod only fires down to 0.1 ohms (according to specs on Fasttech). Anything lower than 0.1 and it won't fire and likely give you an "atomizer short" message.

Pretty sure 0.03 was a typo.

Do you have a tank with a drop in coil that you can try? Does it read that? It's the best way to eliminate errors in your build as the problem.

Do you wick it (add cotton) yourself? Or are you using a factory coil housing that you only press or screw in... ?

What is the name of your atomizer?

The reason I'm asking clarification is that you stated you were using an RDA atty and RDA stands for rebuildable dripping atomizer..

Yes i wick it and i use the easy pre made coils that you push & screw on .

@RiRi0093

When you typed 0.03 did you mean that or did you mean 0.3?

 

[Opinionated]

Okay... are you sure your trapping the leads really well underneath the screws and that everything is really tight and the coil can't be pulled out?

Then, are you making sure your coil glows evenly from the inside out before wicking?
