OHM reading was so off and jumping from 0.2 to 0.6 so it's unusable in more modern MODs. Old ones without protection would fire and work but newer ones would say Error, OHM Error, Atomizer Error, Protection,... I found out there was a lot of people posting on youtube same problem. Positive (or negative) is "press-fitted" and that's why resistance jumps all over the place. I bought new one at local vape shop and it's the same. This was when TFV8, Baby and Big Baby came out. What I'm wondering, since it's roughly a year since introduction, is SMOK rectified the problem? Don't wanna buy another with the same problem. --- info: I found out Baby and Big Baby Tanks can use Eleaf HWx coils, Joyetech ProCore Cx and a couple of others. Some doesn't have RBA, some should have but cannot find them anywhere. Did anyone find RBA for other interchangeable* coils? Offcourse that RBA would be same height as pre-made coils (Q2, X4, T6/8) so less space for coil(s). * source: https://www.reddit.com/r/electronic_cigarette/comments/6r4luj/interchangeable_coils_and_tank_list/ Eleaf HW coils Geekvape iM4 coil iJoy XS coils Joyetech ProCore Aries coils SMOK TFV8 baby coils Vapefly Fantasy Mini M8 coils Vaporesso NRG coils These should be all interchangeable if this helps anyone.

I'd just go through the basics and make sure everything is tightened well and making proper connection and having good pressure on the coil leads, and you're not touching the chimney. The 510 pin on the full size tfv8 moves, try making sure that's pushed in all the way into the base so it's making good connection with the RBA base. Working...

banjo Verified JoinedJan 2014 Posts 849 Reviews 140 Kudos854	Same Problem here Matej_SI . I even followed some tutorials on filing the base section and Corners of the RBA. No luck. on the AL 85 I always get "atomiser short,or jumping ohms" It works just fine on E-Leaf 60W temp control model, and on the smoant battlestar,it works ok for 10 minutes,then keeps asking "new coil". Only solution for me is to use stock coils...which defeats the purpose. when my stock coils run out,this is going in the bin. It just doesnt get any better than this ! Working...

SKU 7087700 The internet used to be all about spreading and sharing knowledge, but today it seems that it's mostly about spreading ignorance. Working...
