So today my istick 100W was delivered and not 8 hours after it is telling me "Atomizer Short" and not reading any atomizers. Anyone have any idea what is going on and/or how to fix it? Thanks,
iStick 100W

maybe the 510 is stuck. Have you tried pulling the batteries and putting them back in?
Try cleaning inside the 510 with a cotton bud or similar. Spilt juice can short things out.
Sounds like a 510 center pin not making connection or maybe a bit of metal shred down in there shorting it out? got an Ego style battery that would not work and it had a bit of thread machining down in there fished it out and all has been well since then.
How can a non-conductive substance short something?
The ohm reader says not reading an atomizer because there is no electrical connection between the atomizer's 510 connector and iStick 510 center pin. Is it possible that the iStick's 510 center pin got pushed downward from over-tightening the tank?
You could attempt to tease up the iStick center pin with a micro screwdriver or metal nail file.
Atomizer short means a loose or imperfect connection to the above. Or their is a short of the wire coil. Since you've tried multiple atomizers on the iStick, my guess is the center pin is the issue.

This wouldn't cause a short, but enough gunk on the 510 connector pin could affect electrical conduction to the atomizer.
agreed. Could cause high resistance. But definately no short since it is not conductive.
Yep I have not seen ejuice cause a short in a 510 yet and I have them full of juice from time to time in the summer heat with a T3
if shorted considering it is new I would look for a metal filing down in the 510 connector. Of no atomizer I would pull up on the pin as shown in the vid.
I know but some people think it can and does short stuff out....This youtuber believes it can...
Can but generally not a problem as far as shorting things out is concerned when dealing in the low voltages that mods put out.
Will generally cause a high resistance connection if anything.
You could try prying up the center pin - it'll probably fix it but you may well have repeat issues further down the road.
It's brand new, I wouldn't mess with it too much to be honest. I know it's an inconvenience but I would return it to the vendor for a replacement or refund.
