Your vaping above my "pay grade". I use 80% pg, 12 mg, at a whopping 11 or 12 watts! Hopefully someone will come along with some insight at that level of wattage.

when I use my tank at around 120 Watts.it gets too hot.even the glass of my tank gets hot.is it normal for it to get this hot.as it can go around 260 watt max on smok tfv8 t8-v8 octuple coils.

At that power setting, yeah that's normal for the tank to get hot. The heating coil is in the tank, after all. The coils get pretty hot, and that heat is going to transfer to other parts of the tank, especially with frequent draws in a period of time.

Any reason why you're vaping at 160 watts? Just because your mod can allegedly put out 260 watts, that doesn't mean you're obliged to use that high wattage. I'd try some lower power settings if I were you.

I have a 200 watt RX200, but I vape at only 30 watts.

I did a Google search for you.

Hi Shrek, lord you do like jumping in with both those big green feet don't you, in other words what you've purchased is a cloud beast so good luck with it. You've not mentioned which setup you are actually using with that tank. I had a RTA which I put large clapton coils in, in spite of there being very little space to do so but I got them squeezed in and not shorting/touching anything. However the problem was they needed so much power, had so long a ramp up time, and were so close to the metal housing that yes the whole tank started getting too hot too quickly. That build got ditched in lieu of a smaller simple wire one which worked better anyway.

As of tonight (now) I have given up using Clapton coils.
Ripped them out of both my Sapor & Velocity and gone back to plain 'vanilla' 1.0ohm coils (0.45 or so dual, depending on leg length etc.).
The Sapor was like a furnace at 50w and I don't even vape at 50w.
