Trouble with istick 30 watt

[someguy]

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?

Do you have another coil you can use? If this one is a couple months old, it might be on it's way out. Hopefully you'll get more solutions than mine, but it was the first thing that came to mind.

I changed the coil twice and still no luck

Try pricking out some of then cotton from the coil juice holes. Often the heads are overpacked with cotton, by doing this you will loosen the cotton and hopefully get the juice flowing better to the coil.

That's not the issue, but thanks.

Sounds like there might be a bad connection somewhere (my first guess would be the 510 connector)
