Possible I have a hot spot?

[jcp42877]

I got my new "setup" in the mail today: Ego Twist battery, new 2.8ohm coils for my Vivi Slim, and some new juice from Vaperite.

while the flavor and vape is amazing from my old ego T variable and month old coils, I've noticed my tank is getting pretty freakin warm around the coil area after vaping...it could be from my tendency to chain vape occasionally, but I'm not entirely sure.

i upgraded to the Twist after using my buddies on 4.8V for about 5 mins on my OLD 2.8 coil head. It was phenomenal.

so I decided to use the same setup for mine today...the vape was super warm, and while the taste was there, it was a bit "steamy" almost instead of "full" like I would like. And then the heat started happening. I tried adjusting the voltage down to 4.3-4.4, but it was still pretty warm. It's weird since I used the 4.2 voltage on my old ego, vaping the SAME juice, on the same ohm head and had almost no heat.

i checked the coil and the wiring looks spaced apart like it should, so idk...

suggestions/tips?

jcp, I think what you are saying is that you have a new eGo Twist that you are using with your existing Vivi Nova with a new 2.8 ohm head installed and new juice. You are getting a super warm vape, good taste but not 'full' and then the Vivi Nova got hot. Correct me if I've got that wrong.

If this is what you are experiencing I would turn down the volts to almost minimum (3.0), vape it and then increase the voltage slowly one step at a time until you get what you want. If I got the issue wrong, please explain again what's going on. I doubt you have to worry about hot spots on the coil.

you only get hot spots using genesis type. what voltage are you running on and what's the ohm load?

Actually, it is possible to have a hot spot on a Nova coil (even a factory coil) but it would be rare.

Try tipping the Nova to about 45 degrees from vertical (drip tip down) for a few seconds and then tip back and do a vape. Even a minor hot spot would be quelled by such a saturation. If that seems to solve it, it may be a hot spot or simply a wicking issue. Do you know for a fact that the replacement coils you got are genuine Vision?

If you still have one of your original heads, do a good cleaning and dry burn on it and try it again on the Nova.

NOT TRUE AT ALL. I'm using a Curve (from nhaler) with a Phoenix RBA and let me tell you I get hot spots. it can happen and mostly happens with RBAs
