Compenstine Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 If I over use mine I feel the mod getting warm, not Hot. Heat will radiate through a mod if it is used a lot. I'm talking a half hour of drip vape, drip vape virtually not stop. I have learned to check my battery and make sure it is not the battery warming things up. If the battery itself is warm or hot, I toss it out no questions asked. Like Josh said, if you hold that button down too long it can cause an issue. You can get a multimeter at WalMart, but if you don't know to use one, get a Ohm checker from any vape web site. Most are around 15-19 bucks.

yamankafozi Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 1st. What guage wire are you using 26 g kanthal2nd. What size rod did you use to wrap the coils with. 2mm3rd. How many wraps did you do (each coil) 6 wraps im doing a dual micro coil 4th. What battery are you using? Do you know the nominal amp rating (not peak amps) http://www.madvapes.com/mnke-imr-18650-1500mah-flat-top.html5th. Where did you learn how to build your own coils? (Youtube?) yes youtube6th. How long were you holding the fire button for before the mod started getting hot? i hold the firing button for about 4 seconds and it becomes super super hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Ok. Based on that info, you are within safe limits of your battery. Does your build ohm out at 0.3ohms? Thats what I come up with on that same build. So, the problem lies with your mods fire switch. Is it a spring switch or magnet? I'm thinking that if your fire switch is getting overly hot, that your mods switch is spring loaded. Some of those springs are made of an inferior metal that doesn't have good conductivity. You may wanna disassemble your fire switch and see if you can get a new one and try that. It sounds like your getting whats referred to as "hot spring".

yamankafozi Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 thanks im glad i caught that i just bought these batteries and it would have been a shame if they were destroyed, they both have the black marks so what should i do now D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I would take a VERY fine emory board or cloth and very lightly rub the black marks off. Then I'd recharge the batts and see if they'll hold the charge. If not, they may be fried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 No no that will take off a layer of metal overtime it will damage the battery. Old electricians trick use a pencil eraser to clean contacts. Only use emery cloth as a last resort. Mtdobies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
