Glad to be here and this is my first time on the board. Also, Thank you in advance for any reply.
I've been running a stainless steel black plated nemesis clone for a couple weeks right meow (new to mods) with a black Patriot RDA clone at 0.42 ohm.
The batteries I've been using (as far as what the store owner told me) are Samsung, but unlike all the 18650 Samsung batteries I see they have it stamped saying Samsung on them, in which mine DO NOT. Also a little confusing to as I know about IMR batteries, but mine say INR. These are purple in color and are supposed to be 2000 mAh.
THE BURNING:
So with that set up shown above, since day one right in the shop he told me that in going to get shocked or having a little burning once a while, but as time has moved on and being busy it was more than that and couldn't make it back to the store.
No beauty ring, No kick ring.
The top 510 connection ring heats up burning super hot almost ever hit (pretty sure, ended up getting burned a couple times so now I avoid it) and sometimes the switch would heat up, but most times I could just let it go and 2 seconds later hit it again and it would be fine.
Which brings me to TODAY.
I went to a local vape store and picked up the Stillare Storm and built a 0.52 ohm dual parallel. I also upgraded my switch to magnets and upgraded my pos/neg contacts.
So since the new positive post is extended I had to put on my beauty ring.
The new setup is bad ... in all black btw, but now I'm still having the same heating up at the top right below the RDA where it screws into, and now the beauty ring heats up like a .....
So after all these upgrades I'm still having the same problems. Highly doubt it's my RDA since the Patriot and now the brand new Stillare is doing the same thing. Switching to magnets, and upgrading my battery contact posts.
I also cleaned the crap out of the threads, I'm talking from steel wool to the tooth brush and finishing off with wiping everything down with alcohol wipes.
If I had to guess....
Again, my nemesis is stainless steel and BLACK plated. Whatever manufacturer built this thing was ......ed. It seems that all my heat spots are where my threads are painted over. I tried the steel wool to no avail for removal. ( My nemesis is strangely painted, the very bottom outside security lock threads are not painted, but the inside switch button threads are painted. The entire beauty ring is painted, etc). However, I also read that all painted threads might do is cause voltage drop. (don't understand that)
Or maybe it could be my batteries???
Any reply would be most helpful, just trying to get more opinions. Thank you.
