Whats Going On With My New VV PV?

I got in on the deal at Spring Vapor for a $40 Cyclone 18650 (Lava Tube V2 knock off). I like the mod but I think its pushing wattage past the safe zone. I started with a 1.2ohm coil on The DID Genesis Atty @ 4V and went up till it shut off. Only it never shut off. I got up to 5V but at around 4.7V the battery tube started getting warm. But I had to know the limit of the PV so I kept going to 5V.

Here is what 5V comes up to. 4.16667 Amps. That's all fine and dandy but 20.83333 Watts? Now when I use the PV no matter what the Voltage, the screen lights up and says "LO". Still fires but I wonder what do you folks thing is going on? Oh just took another pull and the screen did not light up. So strange.

Some APV's will automatically readjust the voltage when it goes beyond the "safe limit" to keep you from damaging the circuitry.

I was wondering the same thing. On the other hand it just kept getting hotter and hotter. Just tried it again and yep its really hot at 5V. I was stepping it up and taking one pull to see if it would do it. From 4.5-5V it was hitting so hard I got the nic high of my life. Im not kidding when I say it was hard to walk. The room was spinning.
