Herakles getting very hot.

[sailorneptune01]

Just got a herakles tank. Using the .2 coils. I vape for one minute steady, it becomes very hot. If I continue, my mod gets pretty warm too. (vaping between 30-45 watts.)

No clue what's going on. I've never had this problem before.

Has anyone else experienced this? Even if it was with other tanks, would still appreciate your input. Thanks!

What kind of mod are you using? What batteries are in it?

My Starre gets pretty warm if I chain vape with it, but I'm running it at 60-70W with a .25ohm coil. My mod doesn't heat up at all. I know the Herakles is a smaller tank so it would likely get hotter, but your wattage is pretty low for a Herakles.

As for the mod, is the whole mod getting hot or is it just the top part around the tank? It may be that the tank is heating the mod in which case a heatsink would fix that problem.

That's just a super low resistance, I think that's normal. That's actually one of many reasons I like staying around .5 resistance, that and you fly through juice at .2ohm.

Using an istick 50w, and an MVP 3.0 Pro. Both are getting very warm, the whole mod. A heatsink could help. Is it alright to use my tank when it's this hot? I've been putting it down a lot to let it cool off, but it's a bit of a pain.

I do like .5 coils. Just bought a pack of .2s but maybe if this continues I'll have to try the .6 ones, I think those are the ones it comes with. I have one that came in the package, may have to see if that makes a difference. It probably will.

My friend also has a Herakles, I'm testing it now. It's getting warm just after maybe... 8 hits. It would probably get hot as well if I kept at it. Hmmm... Must just be normal for the .2s.

I would first try using the higher ohm coils and see if that helps. .2ohms is the absolute bare minimum for both of those mods. .6ohms would give you a bit of a safety margin there.

If it's still getting hot them you should try a heatsink. They're only around $5 so it's not going to break the bank.

The tank is going to get warm, that's just par for the course with a subohm tank with a coil that low in resistance. It's not going to hurt the tank if it gets a bit on the hot side, but it shouldn't be heating your mods as well. It may be conductive heat transferring from the tank to the mod in which case a heatsink would cure that.

That's normal. On my Atlantis tanks I will vape either at 35 watts (0.5 ohm coil), 40 watts (1.0 ohm coil) or 50-55 watts (0.3 ohm coil). When I start my typical chain vaping, after about 8-10 pulls, all three coils will make the bottom of the tank warm. Of course the 0.3 ohm coil makes the tank REALLY warm...to the point where by the time I get towards the bottom of the tank, the juice darkens because the juice have started to caramelize from the heat.

Going to test out the .6 when I get home, and probably will use that until I get a heatsink.

Lower resistance takes less power to achieve the same or higher heat levels. Chain vaping for a solid minute will heat up any tank or dripper. I just got in my Bullet rda. It has a peak insulator on the bottom of the atty to keep the mod cool. If chaining is your habit, it might be worth taking a look at for you. It might save your mods too.

If you're using an Istick 50w, then yeah, it will get hot. At .2 ohms, you're pushing the devices lowest resistance capabilities.

edit:Forgot to add, The Herakles uses parallel coils as well. That will also contribute to the heat factor.

Both Herakles coils get the tank real hot if vaping above 40w. Try the Matrix, youll love your Herakles but it is not even close to the Crown for staying cool while chain vaping. I found the .5 is cooler than then .2 but after 6 hits, that sucker is really hot. Good flavor though!
