Mega Tornado over heating atomizer

[Lokiran]

I've been using a regular Tornado (ego) battery for a few weeks now and just got myself a mega battery. The regular battery seems to work wonderfully with my atomizers producing a thick, rich, and tasty vapor. My new mega batt overheats my LR atomizer and the vapor production is terrible. I'm assuming the issue is with the battery, when I switch back to the regular batt the LR atty still preforms wonders.

Is the battery putting out too high a voltage and should I exchange it?
Or is this something I, at home, can fix? I/e: a bad contact between battery and atomizer?

*I'd have this is the technical forum, but I don't have enough posts to do that yet *

well your only one post away from being able to post anywhere.
technically LR atty is designed for a 3.7v battery mod to simulate 5v's and not really for a traditional mosfet battery due to the amperage they draw. LR draws about 2-2.5 amp and standard atty about 1 which is what mosfet bats are designed for. I know they say min of 450 mAh, but it will still stress a mosfet bat.

Thanks for the reply. I was just about to order some new atty's but I'll order an individual standard one and see how that handles for me. Cheers

When fully recharged batteries are first used they tend to be a few ticks above regular operating voltage. By way of example, a 14500 battery will run at 4.2-ish volts for a while before dropping to a 3.7v. When I toss fresh batteries in any of my devices, I just hold the button down for less time at first while keeping my draw about the same. After a while, the battery settles into it's normal operating voltage and I hold the button normally. As it continues to drain, I hold it longer. It takes a little getting used to.

Again thanks for the good information. It's already starting to behave smoothly after using it all day today.
