Problems with iStick TC40W

[Seth97]

I've had the TC40W for about 6 months, I use a T3S tank. I put a new atomizer in it and got a new base for the tank because one of the seals came off. Now my ecig says "atomizer short" and has a burnt and/or metallic flavor to it. How do I fix it? Many thanks!

Welcome and glad you joined.

has a burnt and/or metallic flavor to it

Could try visiting your local B&M Vape shop and they might be able to fix it.

Now my ecig says "atomizer short"

Don't quote me, but the 40w iStick has a reliable spring-loaded 510 connection, except you are not using a traditional 510 tank.
If you have a 'short' I suspect the base of your T3S is screwed down/in too far, unless there is an unusual design for your eGo-510 adapter.
In truth, adapters are not ideal and 'mashing' a tank, an adapter and a 510 connection together can cause the +/- connections to get confused... sometimes the tolerances are so tiny with the circuit.
I enjoyed the T3S, but you should consider something purely 510; you'll also get better economy (value for money from the coils) from something like a mini Nautilus or Eleaf GS/GS air tank. I personally rate the GS tank (not the air) as it was designed for the iStick 40w, whereas a T3S is nearing dinosaur technology.

Question- Can you successfully pull the pin up on one of these spring loaded mods?

I have a I20 and I30 that the pins are barely connecting. I got a 40 today and it connects w/o having to crank it down too far.

So, I can pull the pins on the 30 even if it's spring loaded?

Well, I pulled up my 30 a few times before I got the 40.

If you used the KangerTech Airflow base there should be no problem. The generic ego/510s are problematic.
Change up the power head. Your coil is burned-out..
