I have had adapters develop a short I would check that first put the adapter on and check the resistance. If you are using 510 to 510 adapters you could throw it on the provari with the adapters.
too odd, yesterday I almost had same problem. I just set up my GGTS with my iAtty already set up and filled, and changed out my 18350 batts for an 18650 because of the newly made coil which was reading 1.7 ohms on my provari and vaping strong at 3.7v...... I used (3) 510 to 510 short adapters on the TS, wanting to keep the whole unit together and they were the only adapters I have atm, other than the 2 connector adapters that come with the unit...I threw in an 18650 AW IMR, and right off the bat, my mod starts getting hot as soon as I hit the button....quickly as I could, i freeze the button, and unscrew my mod to take the batt out and see what happened..... I almost destroyed that IMR
after letting it cool down, I threw it back in my PILA and it seems fine...hooked it up to a homemade batt holder and one of my RC battery charger/dischargers and cycled the battery, then recharged again....checked with my multimeter and it checks out fine, no visible damage and it's in my Provari atm working fine...... pulling apart the GGTS, taking out the adapters, I found the short in one of those lol....they looked to be made by 2 different manufacturers, and one had larger pin/pads than the other 2... for some reason it was the one 'sandwiched' between, and the pin pushed up along the inside and shorted to the outside 'can' from one of the other adapters....i ended up tossing that adapter...wouldnt want to see the same happening on another mod even if used on it's own....I have a few anyways, most of em werent used until now....
