They should not get hot. Mine are not even warm when charging.
Mine definitely gets warm while charging, whether using it or not.
At one of the members suggestion.../These cables were suggested:
I already use nice micro usb cables that I've purchased/have weeded out my lower quality ones, or just use those for less critical tasks like charging bicycle lights. Similar story with chargers. I really shouldn't have to spend even more money & time troubleshooting/solving problems related to a basic function on a device of this supposed caliber.
As I'm typing this, I've now gone through two cables/and two different charging sources that it was taking a charge from, and now isn't/it's being finicky about. The battery readout is saying it's full one moment, and it's dead the next. This is with using it with a cerabis tank with a .9ohm since coil since last night, which I thought I'd stick with for a bit to see if it was gentler enough to the battery to make this device workable for me.
Maybe I got a dud. If that's the case, and I've got to return it anyways, I might as well try something else that doesn't have the shortcomings of this device. I've already got a vaporflask 133 ordered.
Changing batteries is a simple fact of life vaping with equipment/coils that are commonly available on the market these days, that the device is rated to use.
I was incredibly resistant to subohm vaping until the threads on my classic ti got stripped. Then I picked up some minivolts as backups, and found myself enjoying the Clieto, whose coils are considerably more reliable than the kanger coils I was using. I'm still using the higher rated coils that come with the 5 different tank systems I have now (~.5ohm, at around 35watts. I have a 60watt Radius, so I'm using it at less than 60% of it's rated capability).
The spring pressure on the battery compartment door is excessive (and I do a lot of work with my hands).
They chose to design something to be difficult, when they could've designed it to be easy, which is just silly.
