Kbox Mini Getting Hot with Plume veil clone

[PedroM]

When I use the Kbox Mini with my Plume veil clone, the kbox is getting hot. This is not happening when I use the subtank mini.

Could it be the plume veil getting hot and trasmitting the heat to the Kbox?

also no getting to much flavor from the plume veil clone( dual coil, 0.5 ohm, 26 awg, 2.5 mm, 26 watts, Organic cotton from walgreens, LG HE4 2500 mAh 35A)

dual coil, 0.5 ohm, 26 awg.

according to my calculations, that coil wants more like 40 watts

Kanthal A1
gauge ----- watt per ohm (per coil) for 200mW/mm2
34 ----- 1.4
32 ----- 3
30 ----- 6
28 ----- 10
26 ----- 23
24 ----- 45
22 ----- 91
20 ----- 182

is it the same coil in the subtank mini?

Have you Checked your Build for a Possible Problem?

If the Plume Veil is getting Hot, it could definitely Transfer Heat to your Kbox Mini. But wouldn't you notice your Plume Veil getting Hot First?

The Big Thing I would Check is whether or not the Battery is Getting Hot. If the Battery is the Source of the Heat, that is a Big Problem.

The Battery is not getting hot, the plume veil is. Is this normal?

a small 22mm rda is likely to get warmer than a 22mm tank of liquid

Yes its normal, heat dissipates. does it get hot after 1 vape? how long are you holding the button? or is it getting hot after chain vaping?

That's Good about the Battery.

I'm not really familiar with the Plume Veil. But I do know that Some people say their RDA's get Hot when they Vape at Higher Watts.

26 watts Doesn't sound that High. But like I said, I'm not Familiar with using the Plume Veil.

3 or 4 seconds and 3 vapes. Im not clear of what chain vaping is, but if that means that the vapes are less than 20 seconds apart, then it is.

That would be enough to get the RDA warm, shouldnt be super hot. If it vapes good, and your battery doesnt seem to warm up at all, then you should be good.

I just gave a Plume Veil to another member and it was heating up the switch of his mech. Here the insulator and positive post had gotten pushed up somehow so the 510 was creating a short. Check that.
