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.

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.

Does a vape tank get hot?

Metal Mouthpiece in the Tank. Although it’s not common today, many manufacturers created tanks with a stainless steel drip tip design a few years back. Their metallic mouthpieces would get quite hot. If you have a vape tank from that time, you may experience a hot vape when you inhale.

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 Vape Process

When you use a vape, it must be hot to heat the e-liquid and create vapor. This process will generate an acceptable level of heat, but then there is a problem. For example, you can say the vape pen is too hot if your finger grazes the edge and you quickly pull your finger away.

Reasons for Hot Vapes and Possible Solutions

Wide holes create substantial clouds of vapor. Some vapers prefer to keep their air holes closed to avoid inhaling so much air; however, closing their results in a loss of fresh air. As a result, the coil heats up, and the vape becomes hot. Therefore, if you decide to reduce the airflow in your Tank, you must also reduce the wattage.

Final Thoughts

If your vaping device is too hot, discontinue use. You should never use a device that is overheated because it can be problematic. In the event it overheats, It is best to place it in a dark, cool location. As a result, the device will likely go back to its normal temperature.

I briefly had that setup but gave it away to a new vaper. I will say, the tank is small so depending on the coil you use, it may heat up. I don't know if that amount of heat is normal though... It is a small tank, so if it's the tank warming up I might be less concerned, but maybe still concerned.

I will say when starting out, when I only had a couple setups and would chain-vape in the mornings, sometimes my tanks would get surprisingly hot, I mean really quite warm. I was using Nautilus 2s at the time, and they are a small tank designed for MTL with fairly minimal airflow settings and they heated up noticeably.

Why does my vape pen taste burnt?

If your vape pen produces an unpleasant burnt taste the reason could be either your vape pen’s temperature control is set too high, or the heating coil has residue on it .

Start by rapidly pressing button 5 times to turn it on, then press the button rapidly 3 times to alternate between low, medium and high temperatures. If it’s a problem with dirty heating coil, clean it with a cotton bud.

Why does my vape pen leak?

Leaving your vape pen in the car during hot weather can also cause the cartridge to leak. That’s because the cartridge seals expand and creating a passage for vape juice to leak out.

How to remove air bubbles from a cartridge?
