I'm not sure what the firing problem is - but that tank looks pretty empty to me. If it does fire it will probably burn out the coil. I'd put a little juice in it asap.

Hi mate. Have you tried cleaning the connections, the tanks 510 thread and the thread on the mod? Get a dry tissue or cloth and give them a good wipe. I just squeeze a tissue around the tank thread and twist it to clean in the thread, push some into the mod section and do similar.

The Vaporesso Tarots have clicky buttons - put the mod to your ear as you fire it. You should hear (and feel) a click as you press it. If you don't it could be the button is jammed. If it is you will have to strip the mod and spray the button with electrical contact cleaning spray to try to free it off. If the button is seized nothing will change on the screen when you try to fire it.
If the firing circuit is working, but there is a fault with the tank or 510 contact a display saying "CHECK ATOMISER" should display on the screen. As there is no message appearing on the pics you've posted, I think the problem is likely to be the firing button switch.

im at a loss of what the issue could be.
as your tank is almost empty then i guess its firing ok.
the ohms on screen is fine.
youve got it set to S soft. would not affect the cloud amount though just the throat hit. other options are N normal or H high/hard.
3500mah battery. i was always told to not use high mah batteries but googling says they are fine for vaping.
the question i asked earlier about juice ratio should be written on the juice bottle. higher vg gives more cloud. if you are using high pg then the cloud would be much less but at that wattage you should still get some.
as asked, what juice make is it you are using.
last thing, smok are shite
their QC went down hill 4 years ago and you could have a whole box of duff coils. where did you buy them as smok is one of the most cloned or faked make.

I didn't look at the battery pic, but the batteries could be the answer.
AWT are NOT a battery manufacturer. All of their batteries are rewraps and any old cell under that wrap. The claims of 3,500mah and 35 Amps are nonsense. 35 Amp 18650 batteries do not exist. If that cell has 3500mah then the absolute maximum current it can provide is 10 AMPS.
With a pair of 3,500mah batteries the maximum realistic power they can provide is 50 Watts when they are fully charged. As the battery charge drops the power to the tank will gradually reduce. If the batteries are old their performance will suffer so they will be even weaker.
I suggest that @aman FULLY CHARGES those batteries and tries to fire the mod at 50 Watts max. If it fires the performance will be lethargic, but it should identify if the mod is working. If the mod does fire at 50 Watts then those batteries are the problem. Either way those AWTs are the wrong batteries for that mod - they simply NOT capable of providing the current that mod needs for high wattage vaping.
If you have bought those batteries recently - take them back for a refund as the specifications on the sleeve are a dangerous fantasy; and for reference - 35 Amp 18650s DON'T EXIST; if you are unfamiliar with 18650s the following are REAL specs-
30 Amp - the maximum capacity this cell will have is 2,100mah
25 Amp - Molicel P28a batteries claim 2,800mah, but others 2,600mah max.
20 Amp - 3,100mah (generally labelled as 3,000mah capacity)
10 Amp - 3,600mah (generally labelled as 3,500mah capacity)
If you see ANY 18650 claiming more than 30 Amps; claims any higher than 3,500mah; claims any higher combination of higher mah/Amps than those listed above - DO NOT BUY as the rewrap company selling them are putting ridiculously high numbers on the sleeve to tempt the gullible to buy and you can pretgty much guarantee that the cells under the fancy wraps will be shit.
If you have any friends that vape I suggest you ask to try a pair of their batteries to see if your mod mysteriously comes to life, but either way - those are not the correct batteries you should be using. I suggest any of the following -
Molicel P28a, MolicalP26a or Sony VTC5a - all 25Amp and good for 150 Watts for a pair
Samsung 30Q. Sony VTC6, Samsung 25R - all 20 Amp and good for 120 Watts a pair
Don't be tempted to go for the highest mah capacity batteries - high Amp current is far more important for high power Direct Lung vaping.

i thought it was a bit iffy with 3500mah but a few years back i was told i was wrong and as im no expert on cells i accepted it.
what i do know is the only official battery that manufacturers state are safe for vaping are Molicel https://www.fogstar.co.uk/collections/batteries/Manufacturer_Molicel
covering their own asses yes but i still use samsung 25R and 30Q as well as P26A and P28A mollicels

Even if this is not the issue that is a superb post @Crispycritters
I've been lucky enough to have been on here since I started vaping in 2017 and have always read battery safety info when it crops up. I think if I hadn't I'd have fallen for the high mah/low amp nonsense that goes on where they label the amps a lot higher than they should.
So many people must be using unsuitable batteries for the devices they have. I know I've had to intervene a couple of times with folks I know that vape and give them decent batteries and a bit of info.
