A riddle, how does a R91% get nuclear hot but

[Marc411]

Last night I build the R91, on my Sigelei 20W @ 1.5 ohm and load it up. Vape until I go to sleep and everything’s good. I wake up this morning and grab my PV and a cup of coffee and vaping is still all good. Jump into the shower and leave the PV on the sink, when I get out grab my coffee and reach over to grab my PV and the tank is insane hot. I quickly pull the topper off the PV with a towel and yank the battery. Hell the battery is nice and cool!

After the topper cools I break it down expecting that the PV was stuck on and was just auto firing. The cotton is in perfect shape and the juice looks fine. Checked the coil and it was solid, throw it on a meter, 1.5; shake it around on the meter, no change. Check the battery and it is fine.

This is a new one for me. What the hell happened?

What PV was it? Also, if the battery isn't stressed your PV could be firing the atty without the battery getting hot and since it's a tank the juice would keep flowing.

Also, I do not recommend taking your PV in to highly humid areas (near a running shower) or leaving it on your sink.

Does your PV use a touch sensor? Also, you using NiChro for your coil?

 

[Marc411]

Like I said it's a Sigelei 20W which has been a solid device.

caged, I here you on the highly humid but I am not a hot water guy and the fan was on but I know there was some humidity. It was on the counter a good distance from the shower.

Did any juice come out of the air hole?

I think somehow the moisture caused the PV to autofire. The ipv's do it when moisture gets on the touch sensor. I'm not sure how it affected the Sigelei, but it probably did somehow.

I think it was too close to the hot cup of coffee

LOL it always is first thing in the morning. A little GCD and a cup off coffee gets the engine going. The atty was so hot I thought the palm of my hand was going to blister. There was liquid that came out of it while it went rouge on me. It was fine first thing in the morning. I wish I would have noticed if the button was stuck. Using the 20W tonight and it's fine.

roxy, I won't be doing that again to test it in the future. It must have been the moisture. It's the first real odd thing that's happened to me since I started vaping, it was real strange.

Call it good luck
The Sigelei settled down.

I'd suggest leaving it outside the Bathroom.

I have seen Cell Phones croak in Bathrooms with next to no steam visible.

Agreed on all counts crxess!

Very weird. I would think the battery would at least be pretty warm if it was continually firing.

I was getting ready to run it outside and drop it on the concrete and when it hit the towel I grabbed it and it wasn't warm. The whole thing was very odd. The 20W vaping great tonight but I won't walk away from that mod with it on. The R91 hasn't been rebuilt yet, I want to take a real good look at it first.

Happened to me, but it was a mech and I forgot to lock switch, but a vv device? weird for sure.
