DNA30/40 shorted while firing. What happens?

Just toasted a Cloupor hana clone. I tightened an atomizer while firing, it shorted and burnt the board in an instant.

The question is: Does the original board have the same weakness? Does it also only test for resistance when first pushing the button or does it test often, so that such a thing won't happen? I'm getting some original boards soon and I want to know if I can break them the same way or if they're protected against this dumb situation?

The fault itself probably lies with the connector. It wasn't a kanger tank by any chance was it?

Clone DNA boards are hit and miss whether they squeak and reset or self destruct when there is a hard short. Original DNA's will just reset or say short on the screen.

Thanks for the reply! The clone worked flawlessly for some time, It was not a Kanger tank, just a badly build atty that would short if the tank was overtightened to the base. The board would report "shorted" if there was a short when I pressed the fire button. What I did to toast it was tighten (and short) it while firing, and that's when it crapped out. The buttons and display work, I can change parameters, but I only get "check atomizer" instead of power :). That one's dead and buried now, it's been replaced by a real DNA device.

My question stands, still: Will the original DNA board also crap out if shorted while already firing? i.e. the firing sequence starts normally and while firing it gets shorted.

Cheers!
