New here and having Kaos Issues--HELP!! :(

[Brittty]

So I looked (but not super deep in the threads) to see if someone else had my same issue and couldn't really find it. I vaped for about a year until Christmas time hit and I unfortunately went back to cigs. I decided to dust off my mod and get back into vaping. For a little back story, I've been vaping (before my hiatus) on a sigelei kaos spectrum with a big baby beast tank with the v6 coils for apprx 5 months. This is the exact set up I went back to after deciding to lay off the camels and get back to vaping. So I pulled out my mod, cleaned it, bought a new coil pack and set my little baby up. I vaped a good two and half days and then all of a sudden, my mod wouldn't fire. Looked at the screen, and it said "Low Resistance". SO I unscrewed my tank, hoping to break the connection and fix the issue. No luck. So I got out a trusty qtip, cleaned the connector and the mod base and tried again... Still "Low Resistance" and the error message continued after changing out the brand new coil too. Anyone got some other tips? It's killing me (and those I have to interact with lol) without cigs or my trusty Kaos working. TIA!

**edited to add: I decided to try and clean the pin (I'm pretty sure thats what it's called? again with a qtip and the place on my mod where it screws in.. got 4 good hits off of it and then it displayed "Short" and now "Low Resistance"... ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

You might have your hands on a pack of wonky, i.e. poor quality coils. Have you cleaned the beast?

Probably got juice in the mod. If it was me before I disassembled it i'd try some electrical cleaner spray on the 510 while pushing on the spring repeatedly. If you do take it apart the top screws are only being held by plastic and are weakly mounted. And of course remove batteries before spraying.

It's hard to say what's going on whether it's an electrical fault in the mod, a connection issue, or your tank. Do you have any other tanks to try, even if they're from a while longer ago.... You don't have to vape it, but it might help you isolate whether it's the mod or the tank. I would agree with cleaning everything in case juice did get inside the mod. If all else fails, maybe a vape brick and mortar could try a tank on the mod, to see if it's the mod or the tank. I am leaning toward the mod at this point, as it is doing different things as you try to isolate things, but it could be something else entirely.

Did you get new batteries? If they have been sitting a long time, they may no longer be able to hold a charge. That might be an area to investigate as well.

Best of luck,

That’s what I was thinking too. I cleaned the tank and the mod again and have just put in a new coil from another pack. (I’m at work so waiting to try it out) But so far it seems fine. I’ll try to hit a few times on my next break and see if it’s solved the issue. Thanks for your help!

Too nervous to take it apart on my own but I will take that into consideration if my current treatment plan fails lol thanks for your input!

Thanks! I think if my current plans fail I’ll be heading into the vape shop around here. Appreciate the info!

If it's working again with a new coil you should be all set. That's usually the most common reason is a purely seated or bad coil. If it recurs had on back for more suggestions but hopefully you're all set
