I've been thinking about stepping-up to an eVic. Besides the message, what do you think of the device?

If it says Atomizer short there is an issue with the unit you are attaching. To low ohm or shorted coil.

Electricity follows the path of least resistance so when the current finds a circuit that did not exist before, we call that a short. Something is preventing the current from completing the loop. Take a look at the coils wrapping the wick and make sure they are spaced evenly apart.

I've read about similar issues. It can be a bad thing and may need replacing.

What are you putting on it when it shorts?
Does it work sometimes and sometimes not?
Does it short with other attachments you know work?

I just got my evic yesterday, and I ran across this issue with one of my clearos. Turns out I had a shorted coil. I just popped a different one on and it was good to go.

eVic will work with anything that will screw on it. Main concern is not trying to run below it's threshold or above.
i.e. most devices between 1.5 - 3.0 ohms.

There is nothing wrong with the eVic in is simply protecting itself.
Are you screwing your Clearomizers down Tight? That causes damage ans can cause shorting.

Check center pin on Clearomizer and if needed gently pull it out a tiny bit. Only screw down onto battery/eVic until contact pressure is felt.

Normally no, as long as you take action to correct. eVic simple refuses to attempt to fire to avoid internal damage.

A similar issue on a generic battery could result in a catastrophic failure of the battery/controller

Maybe. Try multiples. If you just can't get it to fire off no matter what you're using, send a support ticket into your vendor.
