Hi, I'm vaping on a cloud beast smok TFV8 on an eleaf iPower 80w ( I know, not the best combo). Today I put in a V8-X4 .15Ω and my mod said, "atomizer short." After doing some research I took off the V8 and tried to reset it with no luck. While screwing it back on I noticed that my ohmsΩ changed to .17 but as I continued to screw it went back to 0. As it stands, I left the atomizer on there but it's not grip tight, it's borderline snug. There was no wiggling when I applied pressure to it. Is it safe for me to vape on something that shorts if it's too tight?
HELP! Smok Cloudbeast is shorting dunno if safe!

It sounds like the coil might be the problem. If you have another coil install it and see if the mod still reads a short.
I tend to agree. It might not mean a short. Some 510 connectors act funny if depressed too far. Try changing the coil and see what that does.
Isn't this a dupe?

Several members pointed out that you likely have a defective coil. There is a little wire that is likely touching the coil housing.

Lots of devices have found themselves in the trash heap due to over tightening of the atomizer. The small 510 connection has a soft material that isolates the positive from the negative. When an atomizer is screwed down too tight this material is damaged causing a short circuit within the 510 connection.
Smok had a problem with the TFV8's having shorts, The solution is to move the wire so it will not cause the short. The vaporizer should have protection so it stops delivering current and displays Short. There is a video on this at youtube.
