Shorting RTA

[Stew]

Last night I did a major pitstop but decided to replace a few coils on my Geekvape Zeus's. On two atomisers I got a short circuit indication on the mods. I loosened the screws and refitted the same coils and everything was fine. Then I picked up a mod this morning and it showed a weird symbol and I striped it down and washed everything again and thought let me try something in the garage so I gave it a good spray with some Carburettor Aerosol Spray I had in the garage. (I forgot to take the base seal off which was silly but luckily I got away with that.) Slapped it back on the mod and fired it up. So far so good.
Will give feedback if it gives trouble again.

i had that once and after almost smashing the RTA in frustration it was a teeny tiny little swine piece of wire that was shorting the deck.

Yep because I MTL I can get really thin shards of wire, don't get shorts often but when I do 90% it's a micro thin piece of damn wire. I now have one of those air aerosols that are used for blowing dust from between keyboard keys etc and when I do a new build I always now give it a blast, haven't had a short since.

Computer Shops and Comunica and RS Supplies all should have them. Obviously not all computer shops will stock them. The can in the picture. They do a compressed air can as well.
