Welcome! You are correct, the tank is getting warm because of the heat generated by the heating of the coil at high watts... think of the heat of a 100W light-bulb, and you're going hotter than that... in a very confined space... As for batteries getting warm, yes they do that as they produce power (discharge). I do not know the brand "Avatar", and probably would not trust them to be true 20A batteries. If it were me, I would invest in a QUALITY pair of Samsung 25R (green wrapper) or LG batteries (HE2, HG2). The ones I mentioned are TRUE 20A batteries and larger capacity (2500mAh or 3000mAh). I regularly use (and trust) these batteries and never have them get warm on me, even when pushing a single battery over 60W... or dual batteries over 120W.

You could check out the Vapor Talk store, they may not have the lowest prices on the net, but they have great customer service. An added bonus to buying stuff from the V/T store is if something is not right you can complain to Chris, and he'll make it right.

It's a great day to vape! Got four rigs in rotation and flavors are all tasting wonderful. A short four months ago and I chuckled at others with multiple mods going thinking "no way", lol. The doghouse (vape cave) looks like a MOAB went off in it, but that's cool. Don't mind un-cluttering. Got three songs to learn today, one of which I have been wanting to tackle for over 20 years. Gonna fire up the DYI lab and restock. Think I'll make up a few little 10ml drip bottles for Easter presents. Basically a play day today. I'm thinkin sweats all day. Got a gallon of VG coming in as well. Another "no way" just a while ago. High of 64 today in south east Michigan so I might even fire up the grill. Hoping it's a great day for all!!!

Add laundry, grocery shopping, barber for the SO and dog groomer and then we're having fun! LOL

I have a black pharaoh rda I'd sell for $20. If you're interested. Sent from my iPhone using The Vapor Talk mobile app

Personally if I got the Pharaoh I'd have to get the RTA version. I need the leak proof/high capacity form factor of tanks, and tanks have gotten as/almost as good as direct side airflow RDAs IMO Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

@Tam Yikes! I'll pray for you. That's crazy.

This is one of my favorites in the Pharaoh. Nothing special for sure but it produces like crazy.

Your post is just fine where it is, no need to worry about it. If it's not in the right place... well, that's why we're here to help and move things where they need to be.

If I had more time I might enjoy making coils again, but these days I'm still trying to get over a cold/flu/pneumonia that I had since December, helping to take care of SO's parents, cooking for the week on weekends, working a 50+ hour a week job, losing Saturdays to take puppy and SO to puppy school, and.... you get the picture. Not enough hours in a day and all I want is one or two things I don't have to mess with that... just work.

You're probably right, @Walt about the temp control, but I just can't be bothered to mess with RBA and RDAs these days. If I get an itch to play with some, though, Lord knows I have enough RDA, RBA, RDTA, RQEG, RGDS, etc. to work on, lol. Just need to put in an order for some stainless steel and I should be good to go.

I've chatted about this a little from time to time. Here goes the big leap of faith. This be us. I'm not trying to sell shows here. Sincerely just sharing.

Lol, I'll bet. Next thing is piano wire. I've never worked with over 24ga. Having said that, I have a 0.27Ω build with 2x24-32 clapton in stainless that I absolutely love in a Pharaoh. Spaced just a tad. Very nice vape.

Nice those look good. Got them to glow evenly at 0.15 ohms. Also, I just use high preheat to deal with ramp up. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

My wife and I have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy. It's good up to about a grand. I usually try to show her the stuff but she has no idea what she is looking at. She likes the smell of vaping and that is the extent of her interest. So, it's good and disappointing at the same time. So I tell the cats.

Thank you all so very much! I am the humble bass player.
