I changed the coil, and that seemed to fix it, but i've barely had the original coil perhaps only like 5 days? Can someone tell me what the issue was?
Part of your coil was probably touching the metal sides and shorting out. Sometimes the quality of factory-made coils isn't real good.

I was using my nautilus mini bvc, i have been using it for 5 days or so and it was working fine i unscrewed the bottom to refill juice then got that message, i tried different clearo's and they worked fine so im guessing it was that coil head? Any suggestions on what I should do in terms of do i need to clean or something?
Every now and then you get a duff coil at least it wasn't DOA you got some use out of it. Biggest reason i got into rebuildables was not having to worry if my last coil was a dud or not.
The "Atomizer Short" message indicates that the iStick read a resistance of less than 1 Ohm in the attached atomizer. This generally indicates a bad coil.
For a short on a factory coil there's nothing much you can do except toss it out and get a new one.
Neo's right it means the pin's a bit out on my tank or I need to replace the coil..unscrew it and screw it back in it should work. if it does it again, swap out coils make sure it's CLEAN, if they've got that black junk on it you can get that message or "no atomizer" ...my wonkered one does it all that time and one of the V2's I use seems to do it it screws on weird when I fill it..it's probably bent one of the ones the dog's tails hit on the coffee table or something....I have to shim it.
Correct, however, it can also mean that the 510 connection on the istick is not making connection with the tank. Apparently this has been an issue with some istick owners.
I'll assume you got the message after you screwed everything back together.
Did you take the tank off the (is it an istick you are using) before unscrewing the bottom?
Or did you leave the bottom on the istick and just unscrew it upside down, and it was left laying down with the coil-head touching metal and the fire button was accidentally pressed ?
If the atomizer is not making contact with the 510 it will not read "Atomizer Short" but will read "no atomizer".
short means your coils shot. it happens.
the coils can go a little quicker i find when used on the i stick as it puts out a higher wattage then the screen shows.notch her down a watt from where you had it last time

By any chance, did you check to see if the head/coil that was in it was tightened down before you changed it out?
Sometimes with clearos, the whole process of opening and filling up can work it loose.
X2 You beat me to it.
Make sure everything, including that replaceable coil is screwed down tightly and see if that fixes the issue - before you g replacing the coil.
I got somebody a nautilus for Xmas, although I've never used one myself.
Anyway, I was looking it over because the 510 pin on the Nautilus mini can be squished down, causing a hard short, if you screw it in too tight.
It was true, I could use moderate pressure to push the pin in pretty far. This could conceivably cause the positive 510 to touch negative metal somewhere.
The istick reads "Atomizer low" if the resistance is moderately too low, so this was indeed a short of sorts.

Check the coil with a DMM to see if the coil is the problem or if it is something else.
I'm having the same issue with my eleaf, but the nautilus works fine on my other batteries so I think the Eleaf is to blame 
I hate it because the eleaf was a gift and one of my favorites. I am tempted to get another one because I like it so much but I don't want to waste the money if this is just going to happen again :/

Mine started doing that. It seems the 510 pin gets pushed in and reads "atomizer short" if you back the tank out just a hair it will fix it.
Just loosening 1/8 of a turn or so. Watch the display while doing it. The resistance will go from 0.0 to whatever your coil is. I don't use prebuilt coils, mostly kayfuns so the coil most probably not the issue. If that doesn't fix it, take a toothpick and gently pry up the center pin of the istick and make sure it is centered and not touching the sides of the 510 connector.

I run a Eleaf iStick Bending Adaptor on mine. that way it gives me a floating pin.
