Do you have the button in the firing position? It rotates. That's how it locks. Turn the button counter clockwise and see if that allows it to depress and fire.
Which contacts do you have in the grand, new style sub ohm contacts are gold in color. If you don't have gold contacts, you shouldn't have coils that low.
Make sure your atomizer is seated all the way and making good contact with the 510.
Make sure all the post screws haven't backed off the coils.
Umm, check the firing pin when you press the button, pull the door off and make sure the firing pin isn't arching when it makes contact on the positive battery contact. If it's arching, apply a dab of noalox or deoxit gold to the firing pin and spring. You can also apply a little to the battery contacts.
Make sure your button isn't locked preventing you from pressing it down to make contact. If it's locked, rotate it counter clockwise to unlock.

Yes gold contact's I'll check the posts and 510 connection then I'll move to firing pin and spring. I know the spring is fine. If the pin is arching what will it look like?
Arcing, not arching. If you leave the door off while you fire the mod, you'll know it's arcing if there's a visible spark between the firing pin and the battery. Did you check the button to make sure it's not locked?
Fired in my friend's k101 with my battery.how would I find out of its safe or not
U beat me to it......i cant think of any 2000 mah battery that is over 10 amp.
The AW IMR 2000 are 10A.
Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points. Introducing the constant of proportionality, the resistance, one arrives at the usual mathematical equation that describes this relationship
Ohm's Law Calculator
Voltage = 4.2
Ohms = 0.4
If Current = more then 10, STOP. You are at 10.5 amps and have zero head room. You do not need a fancy low ohm gimmicky coil for a good vape. It sounds like you are very new and you should start simple.
The battery does not have to be button top. If flat tops are used, use noalox or deoxit gold on your firing pin to prevent arching and oxidation. You should do this anyway with button tops if below 1 ohm.
Does your atty have an adjustable post?

Can u put up a couple pics? We may be able to spot something out of place. Also we may be able to identify your battery and give u advice on what is safe. Try to get a pic of your center pin on bottom of atty and inside of reo with door off.

Reo is a mechanical - it'll fire anything at all. Whether your battery can handle it (or not)...seems ok to me. A 20A rated constant discharge battery can handle that load.
Your RDA is at fault.
If you don't check your builds before you fire them, then i'm telling you that you should - a little black box checker or a meter will do. Mechanical mods will not check for short-circuits, remaining battery charge or anything nice like that.
It's vaping where you are totally responsible. Crap batteries - your fault, crappy coils? - your fault! Didn't check coils - your fault! You get the idea!

If the atlantis fires and the atty in question doesn't, then it means that the positive pin on your atty isn't making contact. Adjust the positive pin so it extends enough to make contact. And like others have said, PLEASE learn about Ohm's law and battery safety. The Reo has a massive vent hole, but you still run the risk of hurting yourself and others. Also, since it seems like you're new, please PLEASE remember that nicotine juice will hurt kids and KILL pets, even in very small amounts. I don't mean any of that as an insult at all. I'm just trying to look out for you and yours. Everyone in Reoville is family.
I missed that .4 ohm build part. Yeah, I think I'd be yanking one of those fancy coils out of there.
