Tesla 'short' Circuit

[onestepaway]

Hi guys/gals
Had the tesla for 3 days now, it's been working fine since today, getting short messages displaying when using a ce4 and a cartomizer. I tried to adjust the centre post on the tesla but it doesn't seem to have worked whatsoever, help would be appreciated as my cravings are through the roof and I have no backup battery to use.
Thanks in advance.

1. First check to see if you show a short with no atty attached to the tesla. If you show a short 0 to less than one omh then the tesla is the problem.
2. If you have another battery or a VOM test the attys on the other battery or ohm out the attys. Borrow a battery from someone.
3. Make sure you don't have a build up of juice or some foreign matter on the conductors on the battery.
Could be to bad attys or a battery.
Answer these questions and we can help better.

Radio shack has a really cheap VOM that will fit in a pocket. Will not test true RMS but will be good for a resistance check.
OH first rule of vaping I learned is have backups.

Thanks for the reply.

1- Yeah it still shorts with nothing attached, reading 0.2 / .1 ohms so i'm guessing its the Tesla.

2- Haven't got any other mods to 'test' my ce4 or a carto on. But I did swap the battery with the other 18650 I had, that didn't work either.

3- First thing I did was clean the contacts on the Tesla & the Ce4.
Some black carbon looking substance came off the contacts but it looks perfectly clean otherwise.

Going to buy a backup mod soon but didn't really expect to have to with a mod as rugged looking as the Tesla.
Ahh well, noob fault I suppose

Try cleaning the tesla contacts with alcohol and a q-tip they also sell electronic cleaner in a spray form at Radio Shack. If the alcohol doesn't do the trick try the spray electronic cleaner.

Could also try moving your center post on the Tesla. Use small needle nose pliers to pull it out some. Sometimes tweezers will work.

Have you tried contacting the vendor? They can probably help you with the problem. Or contact ivape, as I believe they're the ones that designed the Tesla. Maybe they will help you even if you didn't purchase it from them. Good luck.
