My Aegis solo took a shit on me today. It keeps saying no coil detected and I checked the coil and it was loose so I tightened it. Then I put it back together and tried again and got the same thing.
How do I fix this?

No coil detected

Only time I’ve ever had issues with no coil (atomizer) detected is when the 510 had a few issues.
First being depressed further than the designed travel allows.
Next, the atomizer has a shallow 510...where it barely protrudes past the negative threads... this can be fixed with a simple oring between the 510 screw and the insulator and tighten... it will move the pin out just a tad.
Next is juice in the 510... I’m guilty of this with my VT133
used it for a long time as a ohm meter for bottom fed RDAs... I had to take it apart and clean with isopropyl alcohol
Seldom is the case where a coil is bad, either wrapping your own or utilizing drop in, but not improbable.
Last is worst case... it’s done.

How much are you tightening the tank down? I have an eVic VTwo that suddenly got weird about how far down I turned the tank, and the connection will just go away if I tighten it too much. I think something is not making good connection inside the mod.
Go slow as you tighten the tank, like really slow, and see if there is any point in its travel that the mod detects it. If so, just leave it there, if it can stay there without being all wiggly. Otherwise, try turning it very slowly past that point and see if the connection holds.
I’m going to try all these suggestions and get back to y’all to see what happens
Turned out to be the 510 connector. Fixed it. Thank you all! 
That's soo good. Bet you're relieved. What exactly did you have to do?Turned out to be the 510 connector. Fixed it. Thank you all!
I am relieved! It was the first mod I ever bought when I started so it’s like my baby and it’s one of my dailies!
All I did was clean both connectors... turned it on... and it worked! Lol

Super good! Yay!
And here's the thing. I see people all the time talking about how stray juice is causing a "short." A short circuit would be caused by a conductor making a connection somewhere that disrupts the designed path of the flow of current. Ejuice is a terrible conductor. I don't see how it could cause an actual short circuit.
What it can cause is a bad connection. Meaning just the opposite of a short. A disruption in the circuit caused not by an extra unintended connection, but by preventing the flow of current by breaking it's path somewhere. That's what happened here. And a hundred times a day to others too.
Don't ask me how I got on all that, but I now return you to your regularly scheduled quarantine.
