XL Batteries - Extra Hot Cartos?

[SeaBrz]

Hi all - I'm loving my new VK Ult Kit, but have noticed that the extra XL auto batteries that I ordered heat up my cartos to the point of lip-burning after only a few long drags. I am not having this problem with the regular batteries, and I'm vaping them the same. Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks much

The metal wire inside could be close/closer to one side of the carto?

I can get a "hotbox" with any size battery. Always look to see if that wire is in the middle and sometimes it is off a little.

Hope that helps.

I have been getting this a lot more with the new premium carts on any size battery and as the OP said it is usually because the wire is crooked.

This is happening to me also, could you explain what wire you are talking about? Do you mean where when I take the cap off to refill the piece under the rubber cap?

 

[Nyxie]

Yes when you take the cap off to refill there is the center hole with a little wire sticking up. Sometimes the hole and wire are offset to one side or the other. I use a paperclip or dental pick to recenter the whole thing and it usually helps.

I always check the position of the center tube/wire thingie before vaping to decrease problems. That said the XLs do seem to run a little hotter

I get a little hotter carto also from my XL, personally I think its due to the fact its a bigger battery. Bigger batt=more power!

I was just about to type the very same question! It's killing me.

I believe it's a sugar glider.

Umm, I believe it's a kinkachoo...

Like so...

The size of the battery only effects it's capacity, not it's voltage output.
The only reason for the xl batteries to run hotter than others is the breather hole size.
The breather holes on the xls are the smaller than most othe batteries. The lesser airflow allows the cart to heat up even more.

Ah! A contender..whatcha bettin' KK?

 

[Sallyem]

My grandkids had sugar gliders....doesn't look like the ones I remember. I never heard of a Kinkachoo....so you may be right. But the ears seem to look a bit different??

From everyone's favorite..Wikipedia..

The kinkajou (Potos flavus), also known as the honey bear (a name it shares with the sun bear), is a rainforest mammal of the family Procyonidae related to the olingo, ringtail, cacomistle, raccoon, and coati. It is the only member of the genus Potos. Kinkajous may be mistaken for ferrets or monkeys, but are not related. Native to Central America and South America, this arboreal mammal is not an endangered species, though it is seldom seen by people because of its strict nocturnal habits. However, they are hunted for the pet trade, for their fur (to make wallets and horse saddles) and for their meat.

Yep thats what she is.
I got her about 8 or 9 years ago. My ex wanted her and then left her with me when I told him to go. I recently found her a better home with more attention than I can give and a bigger enclosure. She is now with a local reporter. She will be helping him educate people about the importance of our rain forests.

She is absolutely ADORABLE Kinkachoo! What's she nom'ing on in the picture there?

Sorry you had to give her up, must have been heartbreaking for both of you..

The pic was taken last New Year's Eve. She escaped from her cage. When we got home we found her hanging out in her food storage. Kink's love alcohol because they eat fermented fruit in the wild. She didn't want to go back to her cage so I coaxed her with a little sip of my wine cooler.

It took me a long time to decide that she would be better off in another home. I can't stand people who get animals and throw them away after a while. I use to do small exotic pet rescue so I have heard and seen it all. I felt like a hypocrite giving her away but on the other hand I know that she is in a much better home attention and space wise. I can visit her if I want to. It took me 6 months of interviewing nut jobs to find her the right person. I think I did ok. I do miss her.

Ohh, so sorry AGAIN Kinkachoo! But, it sounds like you did what was best for her...that's the biggest thing ANY pet owner can do and it takes a LOT of strength! I'm sure she's a happy baby!! Glad to hear you can visit her too! Very sweet!

BIIIG Kinkachoo hug!!
