Please Help!!!

I got my first RBA a few days ago and I am having a hard time getting this thing going right. My first coil was good. Got 1.4 ohms and was vaping away fine. I put it in my pocket and ended up spilling the juice all over the place and decided to rebuild the coil. Since then it seems to short out no matter what I do. I have a provari and I keep getting the E1 code and ocasionally the E4 code. I've taken the AC9 apart a few times now, cleaning it completely and putting it back together thinking that the juice might be shorting it out down the center post but still doing the same thing. Just looking for some advice on this before I take a hammer to it. Thanks in advance for the help.

usually an E1 is a short in the coil/wick somewhere. nothing to do with the juice. if the juice was conductive we would have nightmares getting these to run.

you need to pull the wick and see if the coil will fire dry. if it glows and works ok then it is shorting within the wick somewhere. and thats what you need to work on

Setting up a coil using a provari can be a nightmare. I would suggest buying a cheap mechanical mod to do your setup then move it to the provari once everything is sorted out. You can actually pulse a short away...the heat from short actually oxidizes the mesh. If you try this on a provari, you either get an error or it goes into menu mode. Trust me, I've been there.
