2x Panasonic batteries got super hot on me. (NCR18650PD)

So what mod should I get? And I have some 500 ss mesh and 30 gage kenthal coming in today, and I was hoping I can build a coil.

You might not need a new mod. Here are some pics of what i'm talking about. Hopefully you can see the center post on the rda atomizer sticks out the bottom and the one on the protank does not. Because of this, I can't run the protank on some of my mods because the exact same thing happens to me as well.

Alot better illustration than mine,

Thanks vapero

I would suggest if I may, before getting another mod, go to home depot or lowes or even walmart and purchase a cheap multi meter that allows you to check voltage and resistance. They can be had for under $20.

Something like this. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-Digital-Multimeter-MAS830B/202353293#.Uo9_0W1qPSg

This will enable you to check the mod for shorts, check your batter voltage when it comes off the charger and before putting it on the charger, heck, it will even allow you to check the resistance on coils.

But they are really handy for troubleshooting issues on a mod.

Then you can check that natural for a short and you can check the voltage of the batteries off of the charger.

Ok I will go pick one up after work, can u show or tell me how to check the natural for a short? I know its gonna have to cables... one red and one black, and red is positive for the top of battery and black is negative to the bottom of batters.

But how do I use it for the natural?

I am almost certain your problem is what I stated before. Check it before you drive yourself nuts. It's a cheap fix.

(a multimeter is not a bad idea to keep around though)

Ok I found a multimeter at a local home depot for 19.95 I will go pick it up after work. Now can some one tell me how to test my natural to see if it has a short?

If you have an ohm meter, check from the center pin of the 510 connector to the threads. It should show open (infinite resistance) with the firing button pressed. Since it works fine with the 18350 batteries, I'd be surprised if the mod were the problem.

[pun]So in short[/pun] - if the value changes from before the time you touch the probes to the connector to the time you touch the probes to the connector to when you press the button, there's an issue...

A short will show something along the lines of 0.00, the same as touching the leads together.

Since, you already tried another battery in mod, and all was fine, I don't think you would have a short of any sort, internal to the mod.

- In a nutshell ... one way ... " with NO battery in the mod "
- Setup your multi-meter to check ohms "resistance"
- Place the positive lead of the meter to the center pin of the mod 510 connector ... and ... place the negative lead of the meter to anywhere on the mod's body
- Your meter reading should read nothing "infinite" "an open circuit"

If your getting any sort of ohm "resistance" reading ...
- AVOID placing any batteries in the mod ... it will go thermal
- Check your mod's 510 connector, the center pin, should not, in no way, be making any contact to the mod's 510 connector's threads.

You said you got those batteries from fast tech and the others work fine?

Well I just got my 500 ss mesh and 30 gage kenthal wire in. So once I get home, and build my coil on my rsst can I at least use it on my svd? What ohm does the coil have to be? And what volt or watts should I run it at?
