Trouble with istick 30 watt

I have an istick 30 watt and am using a subtank nano with a 0.5 coil. I bought both at the same time and I've had them for about 2 months. Everything was working fine until 2 weeks ago. I turned it on one day and when I fired it I got a scorch. It seemed odd because I always have my v/w locked. I noticed that the ohm reading had jumped up to 1.5. I unscrewed the tank and then put it back on and got a reading of 0.8. I took a couple hits and everything seemed fine, but then Ohms jumped again. If I touch the tank at all the ohms jump around between 0.6 and 2.1. I've taken the tank apart and cleaned it. I cleaned all the contact points and made sure that the spring connection on the istick hadn't been pushed down. No luck. Ohms are still jumping. Anyone know what might be wrong?

Have you tried changing the coil? If so do you have another atty that you might screw on to see if the problem lies in the Istick or the subtank?

well its one of two things then
1. the subtank base is messed up
2. the istick is messed up

Most vape stores carry both items
so if you go in to one and explain whats happening then can put your subtank on a mod and see if that mod reads the ohms correctly. If not something happened to your subtank base

if the other mods work with your tank
then you need a new istick.

Check the botton of the base. The PIN with the threading see if it is flush or not, the brass/gold looking part. If not push it in all the way and try again. That part has been problematic on both my subtanks
 
I I had this problem on my 20w try replacing the o ring under the contact pin on the eleaf can't remember the number but it's the smallest o ring you can find in the plumbing section of your local hardware store
