New to ECF with a decent knowledge on vaping, but have an issue with my newest purchase

I've lurked ECF for some time now, and it's provided me with great information that's helped me along on my vaping experience. Before anything, I wanted to say that this is a great community, and I would love to be a part of it.

I've been vaping for a couple of years now, mostly on cheaper kits such as the Ego-T. A good friend of mine was showing me the capabilities of his, and it made me want to get something much more advanced. I ended up buying the Tesla battery mod, which I love, along with the EHPro Kayfun Lite clone. Now, I don't enjoy the idea of purchasing clones.. but the Kayfun Lite just clicked with me. If I have the opportunity to get my hands on a real one, I would like to. But as for now, the EHPro clone seemed like the best choice.

I received it early today, only minutes before I had to go to work. So unfortunately, I had to let it sit while my iClear 30 accompanied me. So, of course, the second I got home, I began building my first set of coils. Once I had everything put together, my Tesla showed it as 0.0 ohms, and it read short if I pressed the button to fire it. Maybe I screwed up building. So I scrapped it, and attempted it again.. and had the same outcome. Now, I've seen a friend of mine rebuild coils plenty of times.. so I'm pretty positive it wasn't my fault. As I was unscrewing the Kayfun, however, I heard a little noise. Still can't tell if it's an electronic noise, or possibly the noise of a small amount of juice on the center post of my Tesla?

So I thought, maybe it is the Tesla. My friend handed me his iTaste SVD, and it did the same thing. So I thought I'd give it one more shot.. put it back on the Tesla, but I didn't screw it in all the way. All of a sudden, it showed 2.1 ohms. Unfortunately, at the spot that it sits and reads, it's very loose, and sometimes goes back to reading "short"

So I know I built it correctly.. it seems the issue lies in the connection on the Kayfun Lite. Now, my question is, what about the connection would cause something like that? Did I just get a bad tank? Or has anyone had a similar experience and could fix it? I've been fiddling with it for house now, And I'm at a complete loss.. :(

By "topper" are you referring to the tank? Because my iClear 30 works just fine. Along with my old Ego dripper. So it shouldn't be the Tesla that's causing the issue.

Yes, I was. Ok, I was really just trying to get you to the necessary posts so you could ask your question(s) in the modders forum. I will be back with a link for you. Now that you have the 5 posts requirement needed to post else where, all you have to do is wait for the server to update at approx. 25 min after the hour.


I think this would be the place to start

Do you have a multimeter to test it with? If not, I'd highly recommend that be your next purchase. Regulated mods should protect themselves from a short, but I'd rather not risk my mod when testing a new build.

It sounds to me like the center post on the atty might not be seated correctly or has a crushed gasket. When you screw it onto the battery, it is pushing that center post to one side and causing the short.

^^^^^This!! Also be aware that these clones need a thorough cleaning, more than one of them has had metal shavings left inside of them!
