Riva Battery gets hot around metal band when dripping...why?

[DaRizzle]

So the title says it all, sometimes when I drip the battery gets overly hot right where the atty screws in. The outer metal band really transfers the heat...Is this due to me slightly overfilling?..or could there be several reasons?

Thanks in advance

Put the PV down and step away sir.

Dripping does generate more heat, The bridge is not sitting in a pool of juice as it is with a cart so it doesn't dissipate heat as well. Use the cone when dripping it will help to pull the heat away from the battery, and stop once in a while and let it cool down.

Excessive heat is very detrimental to Lithium batteries, if its too hot to touch comfortably its no good for your batteries. If you must drip constantly change batteries often.

lol...damn this liquid crack

so its just straight up overuse and no misuse? I see you are a noob to the forum just like me....are you sure about what you are telling me?

I am relatively new to the forum but I am sure the old pros will tell you the same thing and I am a 20 year metal worker, dissipating heat is a constant struggle with metal parts.

You could probably disipate that heat with an extension. Madvapes has them.

Are you talking about the drip shield? They are all out and I don't know another vendor that carries them.

You could also try a standard resistance atty when you want to chain vape
