eGo One reads Subtank OCC 0.5ohm as a short

[Jeff M.]

I'm looking for a little guidance here to see if this is normal or if there's an issue with the battery, coil, or battery/coil combination.

As the title suggests, my eGo One (2200mah version if it matters) has done this twice in the last two weeks I've been using it, using two different coils. I'm vaping along, minding my own business, not hurting anyone... and bamb! nothingness. After about a half day of what I'd consider moderate vaping, the eGo One fails to fire and the LED flashes three times, indicating a short. I've unscrewed the Subtank Nano from the battery, reinstalled, tried various methods of turning the One off and on again, with and without the tank. Nothing. I've installed the tank both times onto my Sigelei Mini 30W and it reads 0.5ohm and fires just fine. I really like the eGo One / Subtank Nano combo, but if this is going to keep happening I might have to stick with the One tank/coils, which works well, but being limited like that will be irritating.

Hmm.. Bit odd.

Are we sure the coil head is screwed tightly into the airflow base? Most connections on tanks (especially glass ones) are better "snug" as oppose to "wrenched down" (don't literally wrench it down, just screw it nice and tight). The coil head is kind of the only exception.

If it got wiggled lose during daily jostling, it could've created a "short", because I assume the eGo One doesn't differentiate between a short and "no atomizer".. Correct?

Could it be because the battery has run down some and can no longer fire the .5 ohm coil properly? got me...

Also Ego One has a fixed pin so the chances are it's getting pushed too far by overtightening the atomizer.
