801 atomizer getting hot

[gavin]

Hi, it seems that I can only post new threads here, I wonder if anybody could help me with this problem. My oldest 801 atomizer, over 3 months old, is now getting so hot that it's melting the ends of the cartridges. The batteries are working fine on my other 801's, so I don't think they are the problem, and changing cartridges or liquids makes no difference. As soon as you I start puffing it the burning starts. This is the atomizer I've been using the most, so I've really got good mileage out of it, I've just never heard of them getting hot before dying, always colder or harder to draw from.

You might check the coil. If it got bent in anyway, it may be touching the barrel of the atomizer.

Hi,

I've had atomizers getting hot and conking out on me. If it's melting stuff, I wouldn't suggest using it. It couldn't be a good thing to inhale melted plastic fumes.

Thanks for the replies.

I can't see the coil, it's still under the bridge. Well, I suppose it had a good innings, time to order some more. I definitely won't inhale if I get any strange smell at all, especially burning.

Gavin--nice to see you got that long out of an atomizer--the reason it is getting so hot is that the mesh around the coil and the bridge as deteriorated and can no longer absorb e-liquid --hence it gets extremely hot--a rare instance when the coil actually outlives the mesh!!!---Sun
