iJust 2 burns out batteries

[Zeppelingirl]

I have an iJust 2 tank and I was told the tank is compatible with many of the pen batteries because of it 510 threading. I'm thinking I was told wrong. Every time I put the tank on a different pen type battery it burns out the battery. Just a quick little pop and the battery is history. I've ruined 2 kanger tc mega batteries this way. I should have learned the first time that the info I got was wrong. At this point, I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the ileaf 2 tank itself to cause batteries to short out. Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, the thread compatibility doesn't make the iJust 2 tank usable on basic e-cigarette pen batteries.
The real strange thing though is that the Kanger TC Mega should be able to use low resistance atomizers.
Then again, the Kanger TC Mega isn't really a (fat) 'pen' battery at all, except in the shape of it.
I suspect there might be something wrong too.
Weird.

It is weird. What a waste. I was thinking maybe Eleaf did it on purpose so you have to buy there products. Bummer.

That's very odd. There might be a short inside the atomizer. Perhaps it needs a new coil?

I think I tried a new coil, though now I'm not sure. I'll try that.

You would imagine though @mongo74 @Zeppelingirl that the Kanger would protect itself.
We'd expect the battery to blink but not do some Harikari.

Sometimes putting it back on the charger resets the circuit. The subvod seems like it has 2 modes, vw and tc. Have you selected the proper mode for the Ohm and wire range?

Exactly what i thought.

I tried both modes which is how it shorted 2 kanger tc batteries.

The new coil did it. It works. Thanks so much.

It was a bad coil. Didn't know they could short out batteries

It was the coil. Crazy...It was burning out the batteries.

It's possible the leads were not making proper contact in the coil head causing a hard short.

I'm glad it was just a pop and not a boom.

me too. That was my fear. Thanks man.

Very welcome. Vape on!

I'm running an Ijust2 tank on a Kangertech Subvod Mega battery (since Kanger's tank is the pits) and have had no problem with it. I have a number of those tanks and have switched various of them on to the Kanger battery without a problem. Maybe there is a problem with your center pin shorting.
