HelloMiakoda Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm noticing the output end of my egos are getting VERY hot durring use compared to what I'm used to. With the Kanger, I just figured its because I vape that at 4.7, 4.8 volts, but it's getting hot on my other tanks at 4.0 volts. I'd say it gets about as hot as an old style lightbulb. Not hot enough to injure, but it's unpleasantly hot. Is it broken? Can I fix it? Or are my egos just wearing out? (I vape like a fiend. I've been blowing through 1000mah in about a day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyk Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Clean the contacts this is theory should help any electrical issues regarding a poor contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufin Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 My Kanger and EVOD tanks get a bit warm, too once in a while. Figured out the wicks are starting to get a little clogged and not allowing as much jiuce to pass, which makes me hold the button a little longer to get the same hit. It's a progressive situation that I don't pay much attention to until things start getting warmer than I think they should. So ..... for me, I either slow down a bit, switch to another setup, or change my coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartvape Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I have a few set ups that get really hot, alot of my heat is due to very low ohms on my coils, i usually just slow down a bit, and throw one of my acrylic drip tips on or use one of my insulators so i dont burn my lips with one of my SS tips. Other then them getting hot, i personally havent had any issues such as battery venting or anything like that. Like aufin stated.. if it gets hot and you are concerned just switch devices or tanks for a little, and check the coil, replace if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 ^^all good answers^^ I have only noticed excessive heat when my connections are dirty, there is liquid or a film on my battery contact points, or the coil is old or the resistance too high in the coil. All these things lead to high resistance which creates heat. That and chain vaping, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcquinn Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I kind of thought the idea of variable was to dial it back if it was too hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartvape Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I kind of thought the idea of variable was to dial it back if it was too hot? I guess that could be one use for it, but I think the main use is to have more control over the type of hit you can get from your device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
