Mod getting extremely hot after my son's friend "fixed" it, when it had been working perfectly

[Tagi]

I disassembled it all and reassembled it and made new coils and it's working great now. I just wanted to make sure if it was okay to try to use it again if I did that. I do know basic mod safety. I had just never dealt with a short before so I didn't know what to do once one happened. As to the IMR battery part, he had put his battery in because he said it would hit harder. I didn't know anything about his battery so I took it out and tried mine since I know it is an IMR so is what you are supposed to use.
Many thanks to everyone and a special THANK YOU to JUGGLER86 for his nice comments and to Cloudmann for his advice

And I will Definitely take your advice STRINGS!!!

I work up in Plano. If you have anymore issues head up to Royal Vapor up 75 just outside of Plano. Its a decent shop and they will be able to help you out.

No offense to your son or anything, but his friend deserves a swift smack to the back of his head. It's likely he caused the coils to touch the posts or the top cap, or even the deck. It's more likely that his toying with the coils caused the short, rather than him disassembling/reassembling the mod (it's pretty hard to get wrong, at least with a Caravela).

Just my 3 cents (inflation).
