What is temperature control in vaping?
Temperature control is a vaping technology whose time seems to have come and gone. While you could once expect to find at least one titanium or nickel coil available for any given tank, today it isn’t even a given that you’ll find a stainless steel coil for your tank since kanthal mesh is all the rage.
Why do coils have hot spots?
A hot spot is a section of a coil that glows much more brightly than the rest of the coil due to uneven spacing between the wraps of the coils.
Why is it important to eliminate hot spots before using a coil?
It’s important to eliminate hot spots before using a coil because a coil that heats unevenly will never give you a good vaping experience. It’ll always create hot, harsh vapor that doesn’ t taste right — and since it’ll quickly burn through the wick, things will only get worse from there.
What is the form factor of a sub ohm tank?
One thing worth noting is that many of the replacement drip tips that you’ll find today use the wide 810 form factor. Many older sub-ohm tanks use the narrow 510 form factor. If your tank’s mouthpiece is around the same size as a cigarette filter, it’s a 510 mouthpiece.
Which drip tip material is best for vaping?
Between the three popular drip tip materials, Ultem has the highest heat resistance and may be the best choice for extremely high-temperature vaping. For non-extreme sub-ohm vaping scenarios, though, any of the three materials work well.
Can a vape tank get hot?
If your tank has a metal mouthpiece that gets hot when you vape, you’ll want to swap it out for a plastic mouthpiece that doesn’t conduct heat to your lips.
Can you control temperature on a stainless steel coil?
Some older mods may not support temperature control mode with stainless steel coils. You can think of temperature control vaping as being more like “temperature limiting.”. You’ll set a maximum temperature for your coil as well as a “preheat wattage” that determines how quickly the coil heats up.
Why does my vape get hot?
7 Common Reasons Your Vape Gets Hot When You Inhale. 1. A Reduction in the Size of the Airflow Holes. Many sub-ohming devices have very wide holes that lead to the creation of large clouds of vapor. The problem with the holes being too large is that you will also end up inhaling plain air in the process.
How to make a vape coil cool down?
First, make sure there is space in between your puffs to let your coil cool down to room temperature before you puff again. Second, go for a coil that has less metal mass yet still does the job right. 3. Chain Vaping. Chain vaping is when a vaper takes short, multiple puffs in short intervals.
What is chain vaping?
Chain vaping is when a vaper takes short, multiple puffs in short intervals. This prevents your wick from soaking up enough vape juice before your next puff, causing it to burn.
Why is my RDA hot?
Sometimes though, a hot spot could be as a result of your coil touching your RDA’s inner wall. It will happen when you replace the top part of the RDA. This could also heat up your coil significantly and you will also notice a change in your coil’s resistance if your device comes with an in-built resistance meter.
What is vaping 2020?
June 24, 2020 by John. A vape is an electronic device that produces vapor which is inhaled by the vaper. It provides a great solution for people with nicotine and tobacco addiction. The vapor is produced when the battery supplies energy to the coil. In the process, some of that energy becomes heat.

Do you need a high wattage to heat up a coil?
When the coil you’re using is high in metal mass, you’ll need a high wattage to heat it up. However, the coil’s high mass makes it retain the heat for some time even when you’re no longer pressing the fire button.

The tank getting hot is normal and just over 100°F will feel "Hot" to your hand but if you check the temperature you will be surprised it really isn't that hot. Like @Bunnykiller stated the temperatures above I have never been over 107°F chain vaping and I might get concerned if I hit 130°F.

Look in the manual at all the different 'types' of modes. You should see one for each type, ie. Wattage, Ni, Ti, etc. Follow instructions to get to that menu screen and change it to wattage.

If you are using SS Coils you need to set the wattage and the Temperature.
Why Does a Vape Pen Get Hot?
Heat is a key aspect of vaping. It turns your substance into vapor, and therefore, your device will create heat. However, when you are new to vaping, it can be harder to determine what is normal heat and what is not.
Where is the Heat on the Vaporizer
If your device is hot, the first thing you should do is determine where it is hot, and where the heat is coming from. In most cases, the heat will come from either the mouthpiece, vape tank or chamber (where the coil connects) or from the battery. However, you need to keep in mind that heat doesn’t stay in one place.
How Hot Is Too Hot?
Once you determine where your device is hot, you need to think about how hot the device is getting. For example, heat will come from the coil. The coil is designed to get hot. Nonetheless, there is a difference between the heat it should produce, and when your device is getting too hot.
What Are the Most Common Reason Vape Pens Get Hot?
Vape pens can get hot for a variety of reasons, and in most cases, it is typically due to normal instances. However, this does not mean it cannot overheat. In most cases, the most common reasons vape pens get hot are due to one of four things - the battery, chain vaping, the coil, or the mouthpiece.
Vape Mouthpiece
When it comes to a vape getting hot, the number one issue related to heat and vaping devices is the mouthpiece getting hot. In fact, it can get so hot, it can somewhat burn your lips. This is why many vape kits and retail shops offer some sort of rubber mouthpiece extension sleeve.
Vape Battery
When your vaporizer gets hot, the majority of the time it will not be due to your battery (and it is even rarer for it to be a serious issue with your battery). However, if you notice the heat is coming from outside of the device (especially if you have a box mod), it most likely means the internal parts of your battery are getting hot.
Chain Vaping
One of the more common issues for a vape getting hot is chain vaping. The coil to your device gets hot as part of the vaping process. However, if you vape continuously for long periods of time, this can cause your coil to overheat your tank. Due to this, the exterior of the tank will also get hot.
