Not sure how many years ago I got the Billow 2 but since I decided I liked it I stocked up on replacement tanks and O-rings etc..
Finally after about 6 years (?) it was starting to short out sometimes or the mod would misread the ohms. So I swapped the deck with the new one and all seems to work fine again. I guess the insulators eventually break down.

Not familiar with that particular rta, but maybe a complete tear down and cleaning would help?

Over time the dreaded coil gunk can build up in tiny spaces, and may be the cause. If so, then a deep clean might do the trick.

Worth a shot, and if successful, you have your back-up back :)
