Coil short
Coil short reports a detected short circuit or abnormally low coil resistance. Do not continue firing; with power off, coil installation, insulators and contacts require checking, while damaged components should be replaced rather than improvised upon.

Classification
Coil short names a typical fault pattern – a symptom rather than its cause. The same appearance can originate from the coil, liquid, airflow, seal or the way the device is used. A common error is to treat Coil short as a single product property, even though the term bundles a whole group of characteristics.
02
Practical relevance
With Coil short, swapping parts at random rarely solves anything and often masks the real cause. It is more effective to change conditions step by step, touching only one variable per attempt. In practical terms: Coil short becomes relevant the moment a product is replaced, upgraded or repaired.
03
Handling it safely
If Coil short occurs together with strong heat, smoke, deformation or liquid escaping at the battery section, this is no longer an operating issue. Switch the device off immediately, put it down safely and do not recharge it. Note any conspicuous changes to Coil short with a date; a recurring pattern carries far more weight in a complaint than a one-off observation.
