Issue with stainless steel cartomizers?

[Starchild47]

Hi
I found some stainless 510 blank cartomizers and I really liked the looks of them since I have a stainless Riva battery. I got them and they vape well but lately when I use them heavily they have been getting so hot they would burn my lips if I did not put them down. I have never had this problem with the black ones I had before.
Has anyone else had this happen?

Yes! I noticed that too. I guess the small amount of insulation you get from the the black wrap makes a difference.

 

[Starchild47]

So do you have any suggestions on how to keep this from happening? I really like the looks of these and would like to keep using them.

A drip tip might help. It will keep your lips off the carto.

It might be the small amount of insulation. It might be that they just burn hotter. Do you know what Ω they are or what resistance your other ones were. I have tested from the same box of 5 and there can be quite a difference.

If you find black ones you like better you can just pull the sticker off ... they are all metal underneath.
If it leaves behind a bit of sticky ... WD-40 will wipe it right off.

And yes to the drip tip. I don't leave home without one.

And if you don't have a drip tip, then a cartomizer condom with a hole in the end will always do.

Please remember to always practice Safe vaping!!!

OMG!!! To early for such things !LOL

Not safe if it has a hole in it...

Is it on all of them, or just one? Sometimes after cleaning I'll notice a carto gets hot, time to toss it, else try to recenter the atomizer in it with a paperclip.

I'm experiencing similar results with CE2 R4 XL's. At first I thought it was caused by my cutting my juice, (originally 50/50, PG/VG), with PGA to get it to wick faster in the new Cartos. I mean, with the PGA the vape & the carto tube were extremely HOT. Loaded another CE2 R4 XL with just 50/50 juice. . .result was somewhat cooler vape 'n tube, but still warmer than any other carto's I've used. I've connected to 4 different brand batts, get somewhat similar result no matter which I use. Haven't tried cutting my juice with distilled water yet, don't know if that will cool things down, or just make more steam. Which could result in more heat or, possibly condense in the tube on the way out and emit liquid. I'm avoiding the drip tip if possible, will make an already long PV even longer. Waiting on others to respond. Maybe someone else will discover a better solution to the excessive heat. My Carto's boxes are marked both batches, 2.5 & 3.0 ohm. Batts I've used: RIVa, eGo, ProVape-1, & Li'l Sister. So, both 3.1/3.2v & 3.7v. And, through the full range w/Li'l Sister. I don't have a meter.

Cheers,

I've used a drip tip for that and if you don't have a drip tip, a blank cartridge works.

Yes,a drip tip or a cartridge work well.I prefer the delrin plastic DT,they dont get hot.
