If you are drawing very hard or you have the wattage/voltage turned up then yes, it's going to get very hot.

Here's tj's take on it:

Volts/wattage heat your coil.
Liquid & air flow cool your coil.
Yes, it really is that simple.

It works exactly the same as your car engine. Combustion heats the engine, and the cooling systems keep the engine running at the proper temperature.

Your Protank burning at 5v simply means that there is not enough liquid and/or air at the coil to keep it cool.

You can purchase an Airflow Control Valve for your mini. Check around for the best prices.

The protank mini 3 would get hot since it has less area to conduct/spread out the heat. But the head of the vamo should NOT get so hot that it's uncomfortable to touch. Warm, yes, but not hot to the point that it gets uncomfortable to touch.

But then,
1) what is the resistance of your topper?
2) what's the voltage or wattage you set the vamo to
3) how long will you press the fire button and the intervals between firing.

Sorry. Topper means the atty which in your case is the protank mini 3.

Ok. I've NEVER tried 6 volts on the vamo with a pt mini on it. But what I can say is that even with a 1.8 ohm coil, firing at 4volts for about 4 seconds and immediately firing again for another 4 seconds, the pt mini gets HOT. BUT the vamo only fellas warm. But that's on a vamo v2. Don't face have a v5 to help you out. :(

Thanks for all the reply's im using a 1.5 coil and this seems to be the problem i was sure u could use them but im ordering from amazon today i put it on and it cut the vamo of ..So its either the coild thepart you screw in with coil on seems larger ..Its like its about a mil bigger than the kanger glass ...Im either using the wrong coils or the pro 3 mini is wrong ..Im sticking with the kanger glass evod.

Ive always liked them and feel good puffing with them.And i no some juices need more heat and with the evod i can do that perfect some juices i sit at about 3.4volts some i go up to 4.5 volts etc .I no there is fake kanger items going about could it be that ? ..From now on im ordering all products from where i get my juice as before i ordered the wrong coils and they rectified it for me before posting so im deffo staying of amazon :/
