Possible issues with Hannya RDA?

[Neonnative]

Hi all- new member here

So i recently purchased a Hannya for one of my mech mods (Noisy Cricket), and have loved it thusfar. Only issue I've begun to notice is that it gets hot.. Like lip-scalding level heat. That wan't so much what was worrying me, but rather the fact that my mech gained a bit of heat as well with a few very solid hits. Has anyone else experienced this with this particular rda and/or Cricket? I've checked and double checked the math and coils and while I'm sure that I'm within a safe operating level, is it possible for the rda's heat to cause a thermal runaway?

A few notes- I'm running dual coil 26+30 Ni80 Claptons, 12 wraps at around the .65 ohm mark, Samsung 18650 25R's and have checked the contact points beneath the atty.. Just trying to err on the side of caution with this particular box/RDA combo.

I have that problem when I use a derringer. The heat will radiate it down into the mech mod. This happens a lot if the atomizer sits flush with the mod. A solution I found, was to add a 510 heat sink between the atomizer and the mod. it doesn't stop the heat, but it definitely helps with it going to the mod.

Also, I like to keep a small gap from the atomizer to the heat sink, and a small gap between the heat sink and the mod. It keeps the mod within reason.

for the drip tip, get a hybrid or a POM.. those don't get hot.

Use a delrin drip tip.

Neal's right. Sounds like your set-up is safe, but it will naturally get hot when you're vaping.

There are some attys that I used to always run with a heatsink because their designs made them heat up too quickly, so I second that recommendation. And the delrin/POM one, too.

Vape on.

Oh, also...the noisy cricket is a dual series battery. So, at a fresh charge with a 0.65 build, you're at around 100 watts...

4 batteries??? dual series?
series = 2 or more, dual implies 2 sets, ergo 4 batteries ( heck maybe even more depending on how many batteries are in series

english... such a straight forward language

Hi and welcome. I agree with the above, it's radiant and conductive heat from the topper. A heat sink and a Delrin drip tip will help.

Oops... I meant dual battery series mod.

Great advice and much appreciated! Just hooked the heat sink up and it's much more manageable now. I'll look into getting a delrin as soon as i can find the one that tickles my fancy, but for now the HS is doing great work. My previously burning lips thank you.
