Multiple Questions

[RooD]

I figured I would post them in one thread I did not want to spam threads.

I hear that stacking batteries can be bad... is this true?

My current mod the xhaler my batteries, button and tube get hot... A is this dangerous and B. is it from stacking?

Also do CR123a batteries fit the p18 well or do they wiggle a little bit (if so how can I fix it?

Thank you =D

I am definitely not an expert but I only vape at 6v+ so I only use stacked batteries but I have never had my mod get hot from it and yes I believe if it is getting hot, then that is dangerous. As far as the rest of your questions I am sure someone will respond quickly.

Now I am scared, I dont want to blow my jaw off =/

123 A batteries are 16mm vs 18 mm for 18650 batteries, so yes, there is some play. Other then a sleeve, i have heard of some wrapping the batteries with a layer or two of duct tape or electrical tape. Most just run the batteries as is though. It shouldn't get "hot", but some heat is normal, especially up in the cap/atomizer area, but down by the button you won't see much of any change.

my whole unit and button get about half as hot as my atty

Specifically, which batteries are you using?

 

[RooD]

Tenergy rcr123a i both my LiPO4 and my Li-ion do it... also like i said it is in my Xhaler (dont know if that has anything to do with it)

 

[Vaporologist]

Do your batteries actually get hot or just the unit itself? Have you taken them out of the PV to compare the temperature? I use AW LiFePO4 batts and have never had this issue on either units I use them in.

What attys are you using?

You have a right to be scared because no unit should be getting hot with usage PERIOD. Something is askew here and I do not know what.

I have had great success using my tenergy 900s with both my Chameleon and P18. That being said I only use them with XHV attys and although they are stressed not as much as most. I know I am decreasing my battery longevity in doing so, but they will be replaced with AW LifePO4s down the road.

Your yellows are being stressed almost at twice the rate of your blues:

• yellow = 0.55A max draw
• blue = 0.9A max draw

That being said, which ones are over heating the most? Either way they are not safe for use. What are you charging them on? and how old are they?

 

[RooD]

Switched, I use a regular 510 atty... My batteries are semi hot... and the button and sleeve are slightly hotter...

My blue 900s are 1 month old and I have 5pairs so very slight use

I no longer use my yellow but they were doing it also, they are 6months old and I only have 2... my other pair melted in my pocket... burning my leg and my thumb...

They heat up about the same ( i cant tell )

Also it takes awhile to heat up... after a decent amount of vaping it heats up not an instantaneous heating

Are you charging your batts on the same charger? or are you using a regular charger?

A regular charger cannot charge these batts!

... and there is a charger specifically for the blue and yellows! and neither one is recommended by the mfr to be used interchangeably.

 

[RooD]

I am using the proper chargers for the 2 different ones and they are from the manufacturer

 

[Switched]

Something is definitely not kosher and I recommend to discontinue using them. Try a different set. The yellows I would definitely no longer use. A device or batteries should not heat up. the only way to tell what is going on with your batts is a battery analyser.

 

[RooD]

Every battery does it... and I can't go back to analogs

 

[RooD]

I almost think it is my mod... I donno I guess ill find out soon as my p18 should be here soon

 

[Switched]

If it's any help, I use Blue Tenergys on my P18 and all is well.

 

[RooD]

I just hope I don't blow up before I get my p18 if I do ill still use it with my jaw wired shut

 

[VaporMadness]

Hmmm... I would suspect that heat from the atty is being dissipated into the nHaler body and its not actually the batteries that are generating the heat... but that's just a guess... i'd proceed with caution... how "hot"?

Does the atty get super heated on you?

 

[RooD]

the atty would burn me if i touched it... But here is what gets me... the switch gets hotter than the body or the top cap...

 

[RooD]

also the batteries on the charger are warm maybe 80-90 degrees
