Sounds like the battery cap might be a little dirty. Clean off the area where the battery touches the cap and the threads on both the cap and the mod. Alcohol and a tooth brush would do the job, try not to get any inside the box. If you do, just let it air out for a while before using it.
Yeah I tried that but to be honest it still looks brand new and really clean.
It literally burned my index finger from only a 3 second pull. Just a bit concerned, done want it to blow up . Do they have safety shut offs for this so it can't happen?
If your burning yourself, please don't use that battery until someone with more knowledge comes along and helps. I don't have that mod, or use that battery so not sure what's going on.
Yeah I stopped using earlier. I have two of them batterys. 1s only a couple of weeks old and that does it as well.
I have it at 45w
Ohms was 0.171
Pcb was 30°c
There the readings when got hot
Mxjo is another re wrapped falsely rated & labeled battery.
Some of the mxjo's are dangerously over rated & few get too hot to use safely.
If any part of the battery or battery cap is getting hot stop using it.
The battery cap getting hot sounds more like poor contact/connection.
If the cap is getting hot from heat transfer from the cell, go buy a lotto ticket.
What power level are you using?

The levels are in the comment above. Iv stopped using as soon as it about blistered my finger. Batterys were supplied from same shop that supplied al85. They also gave me a dual charger so can charge both batterys at once via the mains, don't no if this could have ought to do with it?
Your problem is due to the insufficient cells you're using.
Of course there is a chance your power device is defective,
hard to say when using inadequate cells.
If you want to use a single cell 85w power device - vtc5A 25a CDR or LGhb series 30a CDR.

I use mine with a Samsung 25R 20A battery, running at 50W with a something or other coil in a BBB. If I chain vape the tank can get quite warm. The cap might get a bit warm from the tank, but never to the point of being hot to the touch. I suggest you get some different batteries for that one.
That chart is slightly outdated.

Welcome and glad you joined. I have provided a little more information which might help choosing batteries.

Like everyone else has said, dump those batteries and buy proper non-fakes such as the LG HG2's from a reputable place like Liion's Wholesale. If the device continues to get hot then take it back to where you bought it. In fact take it and the batteries you bought there back first and have them try out some real batteries and if the problem goes away then convince them to give you a credit on the dangerous ones they first sold you.
Remember everyone is out to make $$ always buy the Name Brand Batteries from a Trusted Vendor.

I just experienced this hot cap issue myself. I was adhering to the policy of "don't over-tighten" so I had the cap on just enough to make contact and a couple more turns to hold securely and, vaping at 50W (authentic Sony VTC4 from illumn about 1yr old with approx. 50 charge cycles) I noticed that the cap did in fact get, actually, quite very hot. Very hot on top, and really hot on the edge near the threads. It only happened while firing, and cooled back down quickly right after. I pulled out the battery and gave it a kiss (I sometimes find my lips a better judge of ambient warmth than my often-cold hands and fingertips) and it was still cool. I cinched the cap down all the way, and it hasn't been an issue. This was just a few minutes ago, now, but hopefully this solves it.
Happened with me too. Realized it's always good to tighten the battery cap as much as possible.
But the threading is so scrummy... Sometimes i fear I'll break it somehow by over tightening.
I will tell you the exact reason why it's happening and why there it nothing to do about.
I use to have other mini mods before the AL 85 and I notice they have some holes in the bottom of the battery place in order to provide a good airflow, Wich the AL85 is lack of. That means there is no air provided to cool the battery down. The only thing I can think right now is to blow the vape on the cap of the battery that will cool it down a lil bit. Just don't blow to near bc it can condense and you don't want liquid on your battery lol

You're right in that there is not ventilation at the bottom BUT there is some ventilation from the usb port, you can check that by blowing through the battery slot and you'll notice the air coming out of the usb port.
