Atty getting REALLY hot.

[Kustom RooR]

Hey all,

Im sure this has been covered before so i tried searching but didnt really come up with anything. On my new Infiniti Ion the atty has been getting HOT i mean really hot. Its only a couple days old, and it hasent been abused because i have 2. But when i use this atty it seriously just gets burning hot. Is there anything I could do to reduce the heat or anything to prevent it. Does it just need a good cleaning? Im at a loss right now i dont really know what to do and i'd rather not have to order another atty. Because i tried.. and they sent me the wrong one :-/ (still waiting to hear from customer service!)

Thanks

Is it a standard resistance atty or a low resistance atty? How long of a drag do you take? Are you giving the atty time to cool between drags?

 

[Kustom RooR]

Stock atty from the Ion (901?). Not too long of a drag normal for an analog cig. And yes plenty of time to cool down. It will get hot on the first puff.

I am having the same issue. The customer rep told me that they were LR atty's and supposed to get hot (Revolver Infinity).

batteries don't last very long either imho.

And its not that they get warm.. im talking like HOT.. almost burn your fingers hot.

They sent me the wrong atty aswell and im waiting to hear back from them.. I sent them a message and have yet to hear back

Just a little FYI, a LR atty will run down your batt's faster than a normally resisted atty. So if you are going to be using LR atties I would check and see if you can get a nice sized battery that has a bigger mah than the one you have now. Will help alot.

I agree with you, I am just repeating the explanation I recieved when I asked why the atty was so hot. How can you tell if the atty is LR or standard without a meter? Anyway the rep says the battery should last a minimum of an hour. Really I would be happy if it would last long enough for the spare to charge. I am still new to the vaping world, is that a reasonable expectation? I know there are a lot of variables but we are talking about a starter kit. I just want to be able to hold it in my hand, and for the battery to last long enough for next battery to charge.

you pretty much need a meter to know if it's an LR atty or not. if you have a Harbor Freight by you they usually have multi-meters for a few dollars at most.

From what I have heard... not saying it is fact. But with the Ion i heard that the thread on the atty is different than that of the similar models. Therefor getting parts not made specifically for it is difficult if not impossible. Id be very interested in finding some non-stock parts for it if there are any.

Thanks
