I don't understand your question. You're using a SB with a single 18650? That would give you a
nominal voltage of 3.7 after it dropped down from full charge. Is that still too hot for you?
Try using a high ohm ( or HV ) atty/carto, that should knock down the heat a little.

Thanks yeah I started in another thread that I accidentally discovered (left SB somewhere) that I prefer my old ego-t type battery, works way better with my CE2 based carts. The feedback I got on that was that those bats drop to 3.2v-3.4v so I would like to see if there is another way to do this. I also guess that measuring voltage on the batteries directly with a meter can't be accurate ie. has to be measured under load? I ask this because I checked and the ego bat is 3.66.

Oh just measured 1 18650 the same way and it shows 4.3v hmmm
