Rx200 getting really hot really fast

[supersaiyan]

I have my Rx 200 for about a month now and I just put a new build on it it's a quad coil I know that's going to heat up the mod but what I'm wondering is is it safe for a regulated box to get hot I'm kind of worried about little things like that I took two hits off my new coil and the mod jumped up to 65° f

if your atty is really hot, chances are its transferring that heat to the mod

get a kepler 510 heat sink from gear best or put a insulating ring between the atty/mod

my mod gets hot too

Nope.

hmmm. 30mm.
Well that's good.
what wattage are you running and what are the details of the coil, besides being a quad coil? and are you using temperature mode or wattage mode?

isn't 65 deg about 5 deg cooler than your room temp ?

65F ? How is that Hot? My single 18650 mods get warmer in my hand.

Nichrome 22g 8 wrap quad coil running at 170 thats another reasont thiugh it dint get hot on my dual 20g 10 wrap

I wouldn't think to ever need a quad build in my VCMT .......................

20 total coils vs 32 total coils generating heat

Your running a quad 22g @ 170 in wattage mode ?

It's called YOU'RE PUSHING TOO MANY WATTS.

65F ? How is that Hot? My single 18650 mods get warmer in my hand. It just feels hot in my hand im not really sure Whats considered a normal temperature for a mod plus its going from 35° to 65 within a few hits

You're right about the watts i feel like a dummy now

 

[supersaiyan]

20 total coils vs 32 total coils generating heat

Well thats why i was thinking that 32 total coils could handle more wattage i guess i was wrong.

 

[edyle]

The more amps you try to push, the more heat gets wasted at the contact points, like the centerpin contact points;
You may find that keeping the contacts clean, keeps the mod from getting too hot.

Once you are getting close to the top end of the mod, you can expect it's going to get on the hot side of things

 

[crxess]

Are you sure it is reading F not C ? 65F is not warm 65C is getting Hot

As for the Coils, probably not a bad setup, but less stress if built with 24ga or preferably 26ga.
Less Load to heat the coils so same/better performance. Regulated mod does not need massive coil load to provide power.

Better than feeling all on fire..
Crikey, what ohm did that build come out to? 0.1Ω or something?

 

[supersaiyan]

Exactly

Have you tried claptons ?
