Thanks for letting me know.
I just put few layers of clear coat over it then.

I just put few layers of clear coat over it then.
I just don't know, I had two screws tight and two screws loose and the two that were tight couldn't provide ground enough to keep the display lit.
Ok thanks
I am thinking it would be best if I tack an additional earth from the 510 to board connection or battery sled to board
Did you notice where the board is picking up its earth
No i didn't see but the Ryan boards are using the one for output to the 510's ground, I believe they did the same.
But don't know.
EDIT
I opened it and took a look, they have it to Batt neg
I imagine to board is the same layout as an Evolv DNA40

Am just wondering where the board then picks its earth up from
They are not screwed to the casing so must be an earth link wire to casing or batt sled
Think the SX Mini way with separate supply would be best
Poor picture but you can just make out the earth going direct to the board as well as the 510
It shares the ground with the 510
On the Evolv dna 40 boards the batt minus and 510 ground are connected internally on the board, these appear to be the same.
Here's part of the problem perhaps getting a ground with the screws. Their pretty short and the holes that they go into on the box are beveled so no much threads biting.
They can be 10 mm long, I measured through the plate to thebottom of the holes and it's 12 mm.
In the first picture I have a screw in the plate to show just how deep they go, bevel is at least 1 mm so not much thread contact

Oh
That throws that theory out of the window then
So we have board & 510 properly earthed
But cleaning your top plate & casing cured your fault of low ohms reading !
@HolmanGT any idea's mate
I also am entertaining the idea that they just made it look like it could fire down to 0.06 ohms as a marketing gimmick .
Well the output ground pad should be available, same thing but it's on the lower end of the board.
And no, still reads ohm faulty but works good

With separate earths from battery sled to both 510 & board
I am starting to think the cleaning of top plate & casing is coincidental & issue could be with the 510 insulation between live/earth
If not the board itself
Yeah I am confusing myself here looking at more than one fault/issue at once
the low ohms you see now is board related I do believe
the very low ohms incorrect reading you had when it would not fire at 60w at not sure
suspect that was 510 related
It look just like a Fatdaddy v3 shorty
Only one, the ground wire is the one that goes to the 510
everything has changed since we now kni
My mistake, thought you meant here that the board was supplied its earth via the battery negative terminal

What's really strange is it reads 0.07 ohms un-fired (it's really 0.12 ohms) but the vape just like the board is seeing it correctly. A resistance of that much different would be very noticeable.
with the poor earth, I guess the board limited the watts based on amp draw
as there would have been a large voltage drop when fired
This thought has bothered me too. It could be a coincidence, or it could be too much of a coincidence that they quoted minimum specs of 0.06 which added to the 0.04 low resistance at this level gives the usual 0.10.
I may have misunderstood your previous post. I thought you said that you had a batch of these coming and you were going to open them up and repair the grounds and possibly install new chassis grounds to board before you distributed them.
I asked you to take a few pics of the repair process you employed when you did so to help others and post them with your findings as with a large batch of units you will probably be the best person to find the most efficient repeatable process and are obviously skilled in what you are doing.
Should I have tried to volunteer you in that manner without asking politely - no. For that I am sorry. If you choose not to do so fair enough.
We all agree the OP has probably got a poor connection issue and many of us would choose to diagnose it ourselves with an ohm meter on each connection starting with the 510 to top plate right on through looking for any instabilities in each each connection but the best advice I would give him is to return his warranted unit to Fasttech for manufacturers replacement based on his reported skill level.
I have 2 Waideas & a Kangxin not an SXK so I have only been speculating.

the red arrow shows where the 510 ground wire is soldered to the board, the board is using it also for the board's battery ground (which is chassis ground)
The green arrow shows the unused pad, internally they are the same
