I bought a SMPL mod with a royal hunter RDA a few days ago, and now when I hit it it heats up so quickly that the bottom burns my finger, i've also noticed tiny little black burn circles on the batteries where the battery meets the button on the bottom. I've tried changing batteries, letting it sit for a few hours, charging the batteries, everything I can think of. Does anyone know howI could fix this?
Theres something wrong with my REM Creations SMPL Mod

A short. The SMPL is a hybrid mod.
Looking at pictures, it doesn't even look like the 510 on the Royal Hunter sticks out. That is very bad. You're connecting the positive end of the battery to the negative of the RDA in that sense..

The smpl has a pseudo hybrid top cap, IMO a very poor design.
You must use a delivery device that has a protruding positive /center pin or an adjustable center pin to prevent shorting. If using an adjustable center pin delivery device it must be adjusted properly.
The black spots on the batteries are a sign of arcing, something is causing it to short, mis adjusted or wrong delivery device, firing button assembly dirty or mis adjusted, stop using it.
What resistance coil are you using?

yup - the black spots are NOT a good thing - please put that rascal down and make sure you are using a device that is actually compatible with your rda
Everything that everyone above me said, and add to it, "Toss the battery." Once you've shorted an 18650, it's donezo. Donions. Goneskis. The cell is radically compromised, and continuing to use it is a major no-no.
So do I need a new RDA? Or new battery? Im very new to this whole vape thing haha I don't really understand what everyone is saying /:
Both if you did in fact short your battery. It would be safer to get a new battery. You need an atomizer with a pin that sticks out or a new mod.This picture is good for all hybrid mods like yours.
This helped me learn a lot! Im going to try to unscrew the 510 on my RDA so it'll stick out more and hopefully that will work
okay wait can i unscrew it to make it stick out more or is that not going to work
I wouldn't recommend that. It's possible for the pin to screw back in/fall out completely, which could have devastating consequences.
Get a regulated mod or an RDA with a long pin. Toss the battery.
On the royal hunter, that's going to loosen the center post, not a cure. I would look for another atty that has a protruding pin.
+1 to everybody here. You are very lucky, that could have been disaster. You definitely need a new battery (batteries, however many are like that in case you tried your spares). Your Royal Hunter is probably just fine, but it can not be used on that mod. I am a good bit more conservative than most of these here, I would say nothing can be safely used on that mod. What you really need is a different tube, one with a center pin.
That SIMPL mod is not a beginner's device. You can hurt yourself badly. Put it away and get a regulated mod until you learn about battery safety. Not trying to be mean, just concerned for your safety.
Don't use the SMPL mod. It has no centerpin, and what happened in your case is the rda shorted out on the battery and you got lucky so far
I'd like to know who thinks selling these things to new vapers is a good idea.
This seems to come up fairly often.
Same mod. Same problem. Over and over.

Or they need to include a warning in the box showing what's a "safe" pin and what isn't.
I'm also conservative enough that I won't use one.

okay so everyone keeps saying i need a new one because I don't know what I'm doing? Well i spent a lot of money on this thing so instead of telling me to go out and get a new one, which I can't do, can anyone tell what I SHOULD be doing with this mod and how to make it safe to use?
