Try removing the tank/atomizer from the battery and reattach it.

Try removing the coil from the atomizer (if you can) and then reinstall it.

If those fail, replace the coil if you have a replacement.

Oh my... I forgot. if that's the tank I think it is, and you have to replace the coil, you have to prime the new coil before you can use it.

Screw it into the base first. Then you have to use your liquid to saturate the exposed cotton on the sides of the new coil and put a few drops down the center hole. Then fill your tank again and let it sit and soak 10-15 minutes.

Then turn the wattage wayyyy down and start taking short puffs, both powered on and with no power. Slowly work up in wattage until vapor and flavor are right.

You HAVE to do this process, or the replacement coil will be ruined.

Hi Kim and welcome to the board. Assuming you got the machine all in a kit, you have a TFV8 "baby beast" tank. @Coastal Cowboy probably has the right of it. FOr some reason the mod doesn't think the tank is attached. It can't see the coil in the tank so its ohms are too low. Remove and replace the tank, cleaning the attachment when you do. If that doesn't fix it, try disassembling the tank and replacing the coil in the middle of it. It's a little metal dingus in the middle of the base that looks something like this:

You should have gotten a spare or two in the kit.

Keep your head down in the storm. That looks to be a bad one.

Welcome to ECF, I hope the above helped you. I've dealt with a messed up vape, but not a hurricane on top of it! Stay safe and I hope you are able to find a fix. This is why on the forum we say "backups" even if they're inexpensive, rarely used backups, for situations like this! I've been supremely glad on occasion(s) to have a backup to hand.

Best of luck!
