BCC heating up.

[Screamin Eagle]

Has anyone ever had their BCC heat up on higher voltages? I'm running a mini Davide with a 2.5ohm Kanger coil on a USB VV passthrough which is set for 4.8 volts. I'm vaping a 30/70 mix where half of the 30 is water.

I tend to chain vape, and when I do this thing starts to get a tad hot. Vapor production is great! At this PG (water)/VG level it doesn't tast burnt at all. It just gets a bit too hot for my liking.

Has anyone ever experanced this? I can't remember the math to tell how many watts I running this at (I normally just run everything at 3.6 volts) BUt it doesn't seem to be doing anything any harm...YET.

Yep. On my ProTanks and Evods, whenever I'm running them on a VV or VW system and I'm cranking up the output to get the vapor and flavor I want, they tend to get warm. Especially around the base. I haven't had a problem yet but I have to confess to popping a coil or three using my Vamo.

My evods heat up when I chain vape at 4 volts or higher. Hasn't caused any noticeable issues, though.

If it doesn't eventually heat up, it's Broken!

A coil is essentially a heating element - thus heats things up Take a few hard pulls on a smok shorty catro.....But watch where you have your fingers.

Gee ya think ...

What I'm talking about is the whole unit heating up from the coil skirt, to the glass on up to the drip tip. The whole thing heats up.

Of course, if I did my math right, with a 2.5 ohm coil at 4.8 volts I was pushing 9.2 watts. So I was on the upper end of the wattage scale for vaping. Guess I need to slow down a little...LOL.
