KBox 120 issue where it only reads .24 ohms for all coils. Looking for advice on how to fix if possible.

Help!

First I will fully admit fault for causing this issue. I was at my friend's house and we were a little drunk at the time. Well he has one of the disposable cheap heads with a 510 base and wanted to try out my my box mod. Though I was messed up, I did have the sense to turn down my wattage to the lowest possible setting and attempted to make sure it was not screwed in too tight. It worked for a little bit, but then seemed to mess up his coil as it stopped registering on my device. Eh, it was a cheapo vape, so I just figured it went out on its own.

Later that night I decide to go outside to vape on my normal Subtank with an OOC coil, and realize it's not producing clouds nearly as well. I look and now it is reading .24 ohm, when before it was reading .56. Well when I get home, I clean both the tank and the pin/connection area of the KBox with lightly dampened sterile pads with isopropyl alcohol and dried them thoroughly. It was still reading .24 ohm however. I had a replacement OOC coil, so I put it in there to make sure it isn't a wiring issue in the coil itself, but same reading. I then tried go gently raise the pin inside the KBox with tweezers in case it was either too impressed from my friend's tank or got gunk underneath it, but still no change. Also tried my extra set of batteries, however unlikely they would be the cause.

My other tank was broken, so I go to my normal vape shop to see if they wouldn't mind trying out a different tank in it to make sure it is not my tank, and if not, maybe to see if I overlooked something. They tried both a different brand of tank, which the clerk was using without issue on her mod, and a RDA, and both read the same .24 ohm reading and fired weakly.

So I'm currently stuck vaping weakly right now since it is out of warranty, and am hoping to see if anyone else has heard of this issue or knows what might be the cause. I'm a little broke at the moment, so I am hoping to try to fix it myself instead of having to shell out more money for another mod. I don't mind opening up the unit to fix something or even having to buy a replacement part if necessary.

Anyways thank you for reading about me being a dumbass and messing up my box mod, as well as any potential advice you can give.
