Easy way to test short circuit protection?

Hey guys, I was doing some rebuilding tests on my MVP2, and I wanted to test to see if the short protection/cut-off worked, so I did things like crossing wires and making the wires touch the metal and stuff on my rda, to see if the ohm meter would read a short. It did not, it read it at generally normal ohms (1.6-4.2, varying depending on the amount of short). So I inserted a coil that was indeed built correctly (didn't want to physically test the short protection), and fired it and all good such. There was even one time I swore part of the coil was touching the posts and it still did fire.

Battery didn't get hot or anything (510 did though), but now, when I went to go vape my iClear 30, I immediately noticed some bad results starting. I also noticed that immediately, my battery had went from green lighted, then, for like a second, orange, then straight to red. I probably haven't vaped this battery a total of 30 minutes (combining all the 3 second puffs together!) What gives? Have I fried my battery? Did the short protection fail and cause some problems? I bought the MVP2 for short protection and I have no clue how to check and see if it actually does it!

Omg dude coil touching the post won't short it. Touch the wire from the positive to the negative or the base or top cap and you have a short. Attach a piece of wire from the pos straight to the negative and it should not fire and be shorted.

Your running too low of ohms on the MVP that's why it's running down so fast.

If you would simply read or search the forum you would learn these things.
