Vaping

[Luke Doak]

Hi there, I recently purchased an innoken cortex 80w shisha and I am using the bvc coil .5 ohms provided and iv noticed it starts to get hot really quick upon use, and was wondering if anyone has any answers
Many thanks
Luke

What gets hot? The mod or the atomizer? It's not uncommon for atomizers to get warm with heavy use.

What gets hot? The mod, the tank, or the vape? What wattage setting are you using with it?

Its a new coil but it seems to get hot quickly and that makes the tank hot I was running it on 30w

Four more questions (I know, but humor me). What kind of coil? What resistance coil? Did you prime the coil? Does the vape taste OK despite it feeling warm?

The flavour tastes fine no burnt or harsh hits it just gets fairly hot quickly it's an isub coil 0.5 ohms came with the device and I do insure that liquid has got to the coil to prevent dry hit

If you chain vape any coil will get hot. A 0.5 ohm coil should be OK at 30W, although if you're concerned you can dial it down a bit. At least you know you're not scorching your coil if you're getting a decent vape. How big is the tank on that?

Yeah true I think the metal talk conducts the heat to make it feel worse but the vapes fine and it's a 4.5 ml isub tank came all in one with the cortex 3300 mAh battery

There are a few things you can do if it's getting too hot. Firstly though, understand that putting 30 watts into a couple inches of thin wire to vapourize liquid is gonna create quite a bit of heat.

1. Longer rest time between hits will allow it to cool.
2. Lower wattage.
3. Consider a second device to rotate through to reduce the heat on any one unit.
4. Higher nic level so you need less hits to get your fix.

Cheers.

I will note all them and rake them into consideration, thanks for the advice much appreciated

Also if you continue to draw for 2 seconds after releasing the fire button it will release some left over heat as the coil is still hot when you let off the button.

Curious on another thing. When you say the tank is hot, typically I never touch mine on top of the mod, other than the drip tip. Is that what's getting hot, and is it a metal drip tip? You could swap for a Delrin tip from another tank (if you have one) which will conduct less heat to your lips.

Now that I didn't know, thankyou

Its the bottom part where the air flow is which is where the coil is located inside

That's normal at that point. Just let it cool down ever so often.
