So I adore my PT, use it all the time while I'm on the PC (I use the USB/AC adapter though, not in the PC USB port) but theres one thing that I;m starting to find I don't like so much about it - the heat it generates in my atty (510).
Most, if not all the juices I have atm, seem to prefer a slightly cooler vape. In my manual the taste quite different, even possibly 'better', even when I make the atty a bit hot by vaping it a lot.
But the PT - that thing gets RED HOT. Not 'I'm about to explode' hot but HOT HOT to the touch hot and I think it skews the taste (for me at least) of some of my juices.
I'm not sure if I can work out a way that it heats up less fast, apart from not vaping on it which seems to defeat the point somehow - I got it so I could use it a lot. I'm not really in the market for a battery mod at this time (maybe down the road some)
I *am* willing to concede I may be misusing it - I do tend to suck on it like I'm having hte best milkshake in the world from a bottomless cup :)lol:) so if thats the issue then fair enough, just and I'll slink off :D
Any thoughts or do they (PTs) all run this way?

Info: Its the PT I got from Cignot along with my first PV, and other than the massive heat it generates it works wonderfully well.

I have a 5 volt VP PT and I have 6 cartridges attached to atomizers.
I line them up and switch cart/atom every 3-4 hits.
I put the one most recently used one in the back of the line.
Because I use them all sequentially and equally none of them are jealous and they all receive equal love.

Don't ever abuse your children,treat them all with respect.

Well if you're talking about a 5v PT then naturally it will get hotter faster than a standard 3.7. But one way to mitigate the heat is to make sure that it's always got plenty of liquid making it to the atty. The liquid functions as a coolant, so if the atty starts to get drier and you are still hitting it, it will get hot pretty fast - that's no good for the atty or for your taste and vapor quantity. Try modifying your carts with an alternative filler that more quickly wicks liquid, or you could try regularly dripping.

Otherwise, as already suggested, you'll just have to either slow down or rotate.
