Hey guys, i've got a problem, my vapor production gets way too hot when i vape, sometimes its okay but most of the times its like im having a fire in my mouth, what ive noticed is that on the screws of the rba build that screws also heat up (the part where the screws touch the wire) and i try lowering the wattage to even 13 watts but it still occurs.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
1. 0.6ohms
2. i dont have another mod so i cant test anything
3. cant use occ cause building it is just such a hassle
4. When i heat it up both screws make smoke/vape

Something is not right there. The screws might get warm, but the wire has much lower resistance and electricity is lazy. I follows the path of least resistance without fail. The wire should melt long before the screws get that hot. If a piece of the coil is touching both posts, that might be it. (Direct short.) Are you using a mech or a reg'd mod?

I assume you mean you're using the RBA deck. If so, make sure the wires from the coil are not sticking out past where the screws capture them. If they stick out even a little, they are probably making contact with the chimney and shorting out. I have three Subtank minis and all of them work fine on my Sigelei mini
