You'll know your vape is short-circuited if you experience no vapor production, the device gets unusually hot, or the indicator light blinks rapidly when you try to use it. Some advanced devices also display a 'short circuit' message. To resolve this, ensure the coil is properly installed, check for any damaged components, and make sure there's no e-liquid leakage onto the battery or electrical parts. Always consult the user manual or a professional for specific troubleshooting steps.
