the center pin looks iffy i think you might have melted the rubber insulator that the positive center pin sits in unscrew and inspect. i wouldn't recommend trying to use it as it might create a short and on a mech mod that's not a good idea hope this helps. as for the battery try a different tank or rda on to see if it works

what do you mean about "without cotton" ?
Isnt' that a whole bunch of cotton in there? Of course it caught fire.

What is the resistance of the coil?
Most likely you've melted the insulator.
What battery are you using?
Could be a hot leg, screws not tightened, coil too close to or touching deck, post or a lose center pin.

Disassemble the base / deck check for melted insulator.

Appears to be a fake,pseudo, hybrid / direct to battery contact style tube. Those should only be used with a delivery device with a protruding center pin.

Probably melted the insulator, as everybody has said. Sometimes I'll get some flame on the coils when dry burning to clean them after getting gunked up, but I don't think that's what you're talking about. For me, that faux hybrid top plate on the mod is bad news.

I dry burn all the time with the coils catching fire without problems.

Not really that helpful just wanted to comment..... having the coil catch fire is a regular occurrence to me and I've never had any problems with it.

Ejuice and natural based fiber wicks, cotton and rayon, are all flammable. Add really hot coils to the mix you get fire.

This is why you are supposed to CLEAN the atty before dryburning. Removal of fuels tends to prevent fire.

As 93gc40 said, they are all flammable and for that reason, they will catch fire if they are heated enough! I wouldnt go as far to say a burnt insulator unless you actually see a burnt insulator.
