In need of some help with my mod Smok Alien

[Kira Marks]

I used to use only pens for about two years but switched to a mod. I've had it for about three or four weeks and I started getting an error message that's not in the manual and the shop that I bought it from has no idea what to do about it. It just says "do not abuse protect!" and then doesn't let me take a hit. Has any one run into this problem with their mod?

Sounds like you may have changed the atty with the device off? While its on, unscrew the tank and screw it back on again. Should ask you if its a new or old coil, select new and see if that works.

You also may have a bad coil too

What I've seen agrees with this, most people say to take atty off, hit fire button, put it back on, hit fire button...should ask if you are using a new coil.

Yeah, it's not reading the atty right. Tint gave the best thing to see if it fixes the problem.

Just a little more detail, take the tank off, hit the fire button and see if it says "No coil". If so, it's probably an issue with tank/510 pin. If it doesn't say "No coil" it's probably the Alien and can't help you there unless you may/could do a firmware update.

I had this issue once with my Alien. Many times the ohms are set at say .500 but the tank or atti that you put in can be .210 but the device failed to ask you if you put in a new coil or not. Therefore I think that this causes the device to not recognize the new tank or atti so I it will say that message. The older Alien firmware 1.0.2, mine for example will only ask if it's a new coil when you change the batteries or when the device is on together with the display showing.

One little trick is to go into the mods and go to "download" and click yes by firmware update. The mod will turn off. When you turn it back on it will always read the coil for new or old. I think this is like a hard reset, for doing this took away that message.

But of course that message will come on when it is supposed to like if it senses a short in a coil.
