Not sure if it's the mod, sounds like a short. What is your atty and resistance? What batteries?
A little more info would help. Which battery. What was on top? Did you check for a short? Have you cleaned the mod recently. Brass or what version was it. I have the m16 in brass. I notice while subohming if I make my rda flush with the m16 it warms up from heat transfer. Doesn't get really hot or anything.

Had the same thing from time to time with my M16 clone. I would suggest getting a fuse for safety just to be on the safe side. I purchased a vapesafe 2. If their is a short the fuse cuts out preventing the mod from fireing in turn preventing the battery from overheating.

I've never had this issue with the mod itself, maybe check all contact points for possible shorts. Put a meter to everything and see if you can find it. Don't put another battery in until you figure it out.
A. Do you have a multimeter

B. What kind of battery is it that is getting hot
C. Possible short in the switch, and/or overtightening?

The battery was a 1600 mah efest. I don't think it was over tightened. I will check the button and contacts when I get home
Could it be a very simple problem caused by a rushed morning and a lack of coffee... Did you put the battery in the right way?
Edit
Of course its not to make you look like a goof, but with my limited understanding of electricity and the way mechs work... It could be plausible, of course you might not have noticed since you pulled out the battery in a hurry...
But wouldnt it "reverse" the way the mod worked making the mod and battery heat up?

IF:
O-ring is in place on the switch
The switch is not sticking
and you do NOT Over tighten
Then it is likely the Battery went defective.
Could have been dropped at some point and gradually the damage increased to the point of failure.
I doubt it was the Mod, or the Topper. Atomizer short would likely manifest in Excessive heat at the point of the short. Still, best to visually inspect everything and run a meter over things just to be safe.

My carto was simply shot. I changed it out, and now back to vaping happy. I'm going to grab a new battery, and a fuse next week. But for now, I'm back in vaping bliss.
It happened again! I'm using my RDA... I guess something in my mod just does not like cartos. I've had 2 turn the battery stupid hot. Anyone have any ideas?
