I just tried mine too with several deep lung pulls at 55w on a .2 ohm build..I did not notice any temperature change at all down by the USB port...

Well, I guess mine might be on its way out, if anyone else can leave feedback it will help my case for return if it is in fact defective. This occurs at .58 ohm, 26g kanthal @ 25 watts or higher, The bottom corner where USB is gets burning hot after about 1-3, 2-4 second hits
I'm really sorry to hear that bro, it certainly sounds defective to me. I would send it back under warranty.

Its less then a week old, vendor will replace in store most likely, assuming they still have them in stock

unless you have an exceptionally good Vendor who is willing to go the extra mile they will want you to deal directly with Asmodus (ipv4) for warranty.....plus they will want video.....already been down this road......my Vendor did go the extra mile w/me and handled it for me....hope the best for ya.
My vendor has 30 replacement warranty through them. What was wrong with yours?
out of the box it had drainage issues, one batt was draining a lot faster than the other and it got progressively worse with time, then auto-firing, came real close to full melt-down....if i had been sleeping at the time i could have had some real bad trouble......i described everything that was happening about 10 to 15 pages ago here in this thread.

Nope, but I don't think the USB port is for pinky insertion either.
That would be where my pinky sits when im vaping roughly, the heat is escaping the usb but heats up the entire corner. Some people have larger hands
No... you don't need "huge" coils to get above minimum resistance. In the meaning of "huge" do you in diameter or number of wraps aka length or both?
Try a larger diameter coil, they wick better and no issues of juice supply, I would recommend no smaller than 3mm, 3.5mm is better.
26ga. Nickel is so much easier to work with compared to the 28ga. The coils are much sturdier, easier to space properly and hold their shape better too.
The cotton wicking doesn't distort the coil nearly as easily vs 28ga. wire.
IMHO dual coiling is a waste of time in the TC arena. It's just not necessary. In the reviews on YouTube you'll tons of vapor being produced with single coil setups in
TC mode. It seems the standard procedure is to go with a single coil when using TC mode.
In TC mode a larger ID single coil is the way to go as the juice has a much easier path to the coil and more wire surface area to heat the juice.
Think about it; larger coil ID means larger wick with more fibers conducting the juice to a larger surface area of coils equals more juice be vaporized.
As a matter of fact I get just as much vapor, warmth and flavor, if not more with a 3.5mm ID coil @ a 9/10 wrap with 26ga. Nickel and Ko Gen Do cotton wicks.
However if you wanted to try a dual coil setup with 26ga. nickel wire; Steam Engine recommends the following:
3.5mm ID coil with 26ga nickel would be two coils of 11/12 wraps or 11 full wraps depending on the coil head screws.
This will give you a 0.06 ohm resistance. The coil isn't that lone either may 3/8" at most with a very slightly spaced coil wraps.
I don't necessarily disagree but some attys preclude the use of large ID coils or ones with 12 spaced wraps. Also, some can't run in single coil mode. My Billow is an example of both conditions - dual coil only and there's no way I'm fitting big 3mm 12 wrap spaced coils in it.
I am so glad I didn't order from Gear Best! I have seen and heard rumors about them anyway. I have done business in the past with 101 Vape in Carlsbad, CA.
They're fast and have always shipped same day when the order is placed by Noon Pacific Time. My Black iPV4 will be here tomorrow, Friday the 12th.
If anyone else is looking try 101, they have both colors in stock. (No I was not compensated for this endorsement!)
I use 10/11 3.5mm coils on my Kayfun V4 RTA all the time. Never been a dripper fan.
When you say... "No way" do you mean you can't or that you don't want to try?
I've looked at the configuration of the Billow and it's similar to an Orchid. I built a dual coil setup for a friend in nickel with same specs I posted in my previous post so therefore it's not "impossible". It worked extremely well, just takes time and patience that's all.
Ok, so my IPV4 was defective. Excess Heat coming from the USB area is not ok, Something else that started happening was the OHM meter was all over the place. It was slowly moving toward burning itself it. Anyone else that has this issue, return your device ASAP. Today I started smelling plastic in the battery compartment, VS replaced without any issue. They did not have black, but did give me the option to wait till they got them in stock to replace. I chose to get a silver unit instead.
Well I'm glad to hear you got it resolved ...[emoji4] I think the silver looks cool too.
BTW, I've had these two for awhile now without any issues at all vaping them every day..Its a great mod!

101 is amazing, I agree.
Gearbest has some ridiculously low prices when their stuff is on sale... As much as I'd like not to deal with them, Where else are you going to find an M80 Plus for $38?
E-Cigarette Lobby had a killer coupon and they appeared to have black in stock. That was incorrect. My order has now been delayed twice and I have no idea when it will ship. There was nothing saying it was a preorder or would be backordered... I only found out after waiting 2 weeks and then inquiring about my order. I am dying from anticipation and wish I had just waited a cpl weeks and ordered from a US shop...
