Nemesis clone heat issue

[rez667]

So.. Since the chat room is kaputski for the time being, I must resort to the forums Lucky you ;-) My SS Nemmy clone, gets hot around the joint when i fire it. I have a .22 ohm dual coil setup in it. I also checked the voltage drop, and its almost 1 volt. I checked for shorts on the mod, and cant find any, and I have used this rda on my Copper nemmy with no issues. Any ideas what might be happening?

Thanks for any input.

Oh.. I am using a purple efest 35A battery. It has 4.02V by itself, and when on the nemmy in question it reads 3.2-3.2V.

Take your switch apart and clean you contacts, and use a small amount conductive grease like No-Ox-Id A-Special on the shaft of the switch (where the rice pin goes), on the thread of the battery contact, and where the contact touches the battery.
I would also put a small amount on all the tube threads.
This should take care of the high resistance problem (this is what causes heat in the switch)

Where ever it's getting warm is a point of resistance. What is happening is that your build is either lower resistance than the Neme or is approaching it. What ever has the highest resistance will get the hottest. The Copper and Brass mods have less resistance the others. So your copper mod is find and the SS gets warm. Your choices are to get ride of the SS mod or increase the resistance of atty you put on it. You can try conductive greases or Molycoat and it may help but I doubt it will help.
