Sounds like the pin on the 510 connection, either on the istick or on the RDA aren't touching each other. Try wiggling the positive pin on your istick a little to see if it comes up. You MIGHT also be able to unscrew (lengthen) the 510 pin on your RDA... depending on which kind you have.

Not sure on the messages on the Istick30 but maybe the resistance is too low in the RDA coil?

Most RDA's also need more power than a 30W device will provide.

I think the minimum resistance for an Istick 30w is .4 ohms.

Check your 510 pin ,it might be pushed down to far to read the atomizer.

Try using a qtip with a dab of alcohol to clean 510. might have some juice in it. Don't force too hard. How old is the mod?

Where did you buy it from? How hard have you tried to crank you tanks down? Too hard and you get the 510 wedged in pretty tight.

That happened with a few of my iStick 30s, too. My solution was getting a bunch of 510-510 adapters (basically an extension). That way you're not constantly pushing on the connection on the iStick. Using them on a new iStick 30 will help prevent the problem; using it on an iStick that no longer makes a good connection will also work. But they gotta be the adjustable kind, ones you can adjust a little with a screwdriver to make the contact extend/contract a little bit. Mine LOOK basically like these: https://www.fasttech.com/products/3005/10003955/1678700. See the slot in the center? A small screwdriver can turn the ones I have...

If you have other rdas/tanks/whatever, you can often find one that'll still make a connection (or can be adjusted), even if your others won't.

30's were finicky like that...

Yes, maybe we can help you fix this istick if it isn't FUBARed, or at least, if you tell us how you want to vape, big clouds or little ones, what ohm coils you want...we can find you a mod the right size, right price for you from a trustworthy site

Seems to me I had a similar issue with an istick 100w. There is a metal ring that pushes up to contact the negative threading on the outside of the 510 pin.underneath the top cover of the mod. (positive goes through a plastic insulator and shows as you see it inside the 510 pin) The metal ring had dropped down inside the mod, losing connection... and reading no atomizer. I don't know it that is an issue with the 30, but IMO the 510 pins on istick aren't worth crap.

Not just that, but the 510 would also spin as atomizers were screwed down, tearing the solder from the wires connecting it to the board...they fixed that by giving the Istick TC 100 watt hexagonal shaped pins instead of just circular.

What I mean is, even if a 510 pin got shoved down and stuck, and then unstuck, it would still show No Atomizer because the wires werent connected anymore

Same here. Worse still... I had to buy a screwdriver set with a T5 bit. Tiny little 6 pointed star bit. I was able to do a temp fix, but it only lasted a few days. After a couple repairs, the wire broke off at the solder.. Worst 510 I've seen so far.

I had 510 problems with only one of my istick 30w. Think it was my fault. I used to have a habit of over tightening those damn Nauti's. Hated those tanks.

Honestly don't know. If you could show a picture maybe someone would have an idea. Do you anyone who would lend you a device until you get another? Are you in the USA?

I ordered a T5 just for my istick 100watt lol!

this is really just useless . All these tips didnt help as much .
Kind of trying to narrow down the possible issue. Some things you can fix, others you really can't. In the case of broken 510 pin, you can't do much bc you can't get a replacement. If it was just a wire, that can be soldered if you have the right tools. Best thing to do is check local ads like kijiji or for sale ads. Or just save up. Maybe find a cheap mod, while you save for a better one. Some are better quality than others.
