The Causes and Solution For Fixing Atomizer Short, Low & More

Has your vape mod ever deterred you from vaping? Messages like "assess atomizer", "atomizer non", "no atomizer" or even "atomizer brief" will not let you proceed until the issue is solved. If it happens, it feels like getting a 404 message when you want to vape. 

If you're utilizing a controlled mod, or even a pod vape using a visual screen, it is bound to happen at some point or another. However, these regulations are there for preventing mishaps. It's great to have protections, but it stinks to be at the mercy of your electronics. While some of us know the simple fixes to get back on course, it can be very confusing for new vapers. After all, there's a vape tank on the mod. So why would your mod say something such as "no atomizer"?

Bear in mind that various brands usually use different error messages, which further complicates the matter. One company might use the standard "atomizer brief" mistake for a shorted coil, while others might say "assess atomizer" for the identical reason-or use it as an umbrella term for all atomizer problems. Because of this, we will not be addressing each error message separately. Instead, we'll explain the motives behind them and offer some suggestions about the best way to solve them.

Here are the six most common reasons for your mod's error messages, and also proposed remedies.

Six motives to your mod errors (and how to solve them)

1. Coils may have a short

It could be something as straightforward as a bad factory coil, a loose link on your rebuildable, or the factory coil itself is not properly seated or missing an insulator. Also, some could misjudge the size of the builds, inducing their spiral to touch the chamber and short out-and that will cause an "atomizer short" or an "atomizer low" mistake.

Remedy: For factory coils, first ensure your coil is properly seated. If it doesn't work, try another coil. If the new coil works, you just got a bum coil which occurs from time to time. For rebuildable, make sure that you check your coils and the connections are tight. The screws on a post may loosen a bit throughout the build process they may also loosen gradually with time. Additionally, make sure that there is sufficient clearance between the upper cap (or chimney) and the coil. If the coil rolls any metal other than the post, it may short.

2. Insulator damage

Virtually all atomizers nowadays use PEEK insulators to separate the positive from the negative. Any harm to your insulators may lead to a brief, leading to an "atomizer short" or a similar mistake.

Remedy: Inspect your insulators. One will be in the 510 pins. Remove the 510 pins if possible and examine the insulator for damage or cracks. If you're utilizing a rebuildable, eliminate the positive post, and examine the insulator that is separating the two posts. If it's all great, then your error message is because of another reason.

3. Problems with your mod's 510 link

Some mods do not have the best connection in the 510 pins. It could be due to several reasons. Some are only poorly equipped and fail with time, others are faulty and make it through quality control. This might be due to poor grounding, inadequate manufacturing (especially with press-fit relations), or just really shallow or deep positive 510 pins.

Remedy: While there is not anything you can do yourself unless you are familiar enough to substitute or modify a 510 pin on a mod-occasionally employing another atomizer could work. Atomizers have different lengths in their 510 pins and some mods may just not work nicely with a longer one. While it's somewhat rare nowadays, it is feasible for an atomizer to not be compatible with a mod due to its 510 pin. If some atomizers function and others don't, it is probably a badly designed 510 link on the mod.

4. Low-resistance coils

Even if everything is fine with your mod's 510 and the positioning of your coils, then you may still get an "atomizer non" or "assess atomizer" message. If that's the case, check the resistance of your coil. Every mod will fire at a particular resistance range; if the immunity of the coil is reduced than that, your mod will probably refuse to flame it.

Remedy: If you are utilizing a rebuildable, note that dry burning the coil may eventually raise its resistance. If you're put on vaping on this particular coil, then you will need to discover a mod or an ohmmeter that can fire it and see if dry burning it puts it to the range that your mod works at. Otherwise, consider adding a few wraps into your coil which can hopefully raise its resistance enough to allow firing it for dry burning. For factory coils, there's not much you can perform. You need to find a greater resistance compatible coil or receive a mod that can power the coil you have.

5. Mod damage

Vapers can be rough on mods for sure. Considering the number of mods are in our hands, some injuries will occur. However, like any digital apparatus, vape mods will need to be handled with appropriate care. Sometimes error messages are the result of a damaged mod bugging out, and this may happen for any number of factors.

• Juice at the mod - sometimes people have leaky atomizers and cheap vape juice makes its way down through the 510 pin or the vent holes and on the chip damaging it. Do not let the cheap vape juice leak in your mod-it might find its way to the circuitry.
• Overtightening atomizers - individuals often over tighten their atomizers, to the point where they split the 510 pins out or snap the ground wire internally. This is particularly significant here because often vapers will tighten their atomizer after getting "no atomizer" errors. In the vast majority of times, the offender is something else.
• Drops - individuals drop their mods like they drop cell phones. Sometimes a drop may not demonstrate any significant external harm, however, it might still be enough to internally break off a connection somewhere.

Remedy: Not a remedy but a few simple tips; take decent care of your mod! If you drop it or soak it in juice and it begins giving you errors afterward, it's time to replace it. Even though it sometimes works, it's not worth vaping on a device with digital damage. If your job or lifestyle is making you prone to damaging your mod, consider buying one having an IP67 certificate. All these are water and dust-resistant, and usually rugged enough to survive most everyday accidents.

6. Chipset failure

Like all electronics, sometimes things simply fail. It's why we have guarantees (perhaps you need to register those buys!). Any vaper will eventually have a mod die on them. In case you haven't damaged your mod, but it keeps giving you all these messages regardless of what you place together with it, it could be a chip failure.

Remedy: When damage has already occurred, there is nothing you can do out of replacing your mod or even chip. Note that some devices are more inclined to chipset failures compared to others, and client support quality varies between companies. Do a little research before purchasing a mod; people that have had poor experiences with devices and businesses are typically quite vocal about these things online.

Fingers crossed!

Even if you do everything right, you may still get an error now and again. Do not panic! The majority of these are easy to solve and you'll be back to vaping in a matter of minutes. And when all fails, be thankful that we are not still in the early days of vaping. With vape mods becoming cheaper and cheaper, a new apparatus won't put you back the same way it used to.

Remember to register your warranty and take decent care of your vapes. And if you want to be ready, maybe it's time to snatch this backup vape you have been eyeing for some time now.
