Atty help

[iMrNick]

I just ordered a few SP2 SparkPlugs and love them. I have experienced an issue with Riva attys ( lr and reg) and my SP2, when I use them the battery heats up really fast. I'm a noob and purchased these attys before owning the SP2, I knew I wanted a 510 (SP2 with adapter) so bought the Rivas because I thought they were the same as the Joye 510. The SP2 works fine with my 2.8-3.0 ohm and 3.0-3.2 ohm CE2s, so why are these attys causing the battery to heat up. Like I said I'm new and into trying new flavors and want to use these attys to drip. please help

If the battery is rapidly heating when you use those atty's it could suggest that the atty's have a short circuit on them. It's also possible for a faulty adapter to cause a short. You can verify this by testing the atty and adapter with a multi meter (resistance test or continuity test). Multi meters can be bought cheaply and are useful to have if you are using mods.

If the atty's have a short they will indicate a very low resistance. The adapter should not show continuity between the the centre contact and the threads.

This is a safety issue and I would strongly suggest not using the atty's and/or adapter until you work out what's wrong. Short circuits can cause battery's to overheat and explode. Protected batteries (which are recommended for use in e-cig mods) are supposed to shut off in the event of a short circuit to prevent this happening. Are you using protected batteries?

A possible cause of short circuits on atomisers is if you over tighten them onto the mod. This can crush the insulator under the centre post on the connector and cause a short circuit. It is rare but some can be faulty from the outset.
