Overheating

[Baron606]

My new tank is running 70 vg atm my smaller one is a 5050 blend i might try putting 5050 in big tank to see but they are both over heating spose i could be over heating by taking draws to faston high vg then

Dark omerta i cant find compatability info on this is there any worry it wont be compatable

I have a Cool Fire 4(40W no TC) that I use regularly at 35-40W with 2 or 3 different RDAs(rebuildable dripping atomizers), I have never used the Isub tank. That said, I dont think you're having a compatibility issue here. If the coils you're using are made for the Isub tank then they are compatible with the tank. If your mod will recognize the tank and it is producing some sort of vapor then the tank is compatible with your mod. Most tanks, RDAs, RTAs, Gennys, etc are compatible with most mods unless firing at resistances too low for the mod chip or battery(see mech mods) to handle.

There are many contributing factors to an atomizer heating up, and for the most part it is normal to experience some heat after a vape. How much heat is dependent on how frequently you vape, how much power(wattage) you're pumping into your atty, the resistance of your coil, the airflow settings that you're using, etc.

If you are having connection issues(especially regarding compatibility) then I dont think the Cool Fire 4 would fire. For me it just throws out an error message saying "check atomizer" when there is a connection problem. For this reason Im assuming that the heat you're experiencing from the base of your atty is just excess heat from one of the many factors which are all relatively normal.

If you are really concerned that its too much heat then lower the wattage some more and see if that helps, open the airflow some more and see if that helps, wait longer between draws and see if that helps, try using a spacer like the one I linked to earlier(many vape shops carry them and have them on hand for around $5). If all that fails, then go back to the coils you used before this.

I don't own a Coolfire.

I do however own some iSub tanks and have already decided not to use the latest SS coils because;

a) they get hot (very)
b) they are incapable of vaping properly in temp mode
c) they are inferior to Kanthal no matter how you run them.

Basically, yet again the vape industry is selling us total junk with no regard for user success or enjoyment.

(Harsh but true...)

a bit like the vape as well... meh... harsh... really unpleasant stuff. Thanks Innokin.

I am very very new to the world of vape but currently scared to us my coolfire 4 i was using 20 to 40 watt coil moved up to 30 to 70 and got two tanks no matter which i attach after a few draws maybe too deep, the atomizer( which i think is the bit on the bottom where the coil gets fitted ) starts over heating and its very hot to the touch im worried im doing something wrong or there may be a fault one tank has a 50vg abd other a 90 i know to wait up to 30 secs between for the 90 its also taking a while to produce vapour between 3 to 5 secs before i start getting much please help me

I would go back to the shop you bought the coils from vape it like normal and have them check it out kinda hard to tell if its getting to hot without being there.
