Burning lips for the wrong reasons

[goneforagasper]

My son and his friend bought 3 Innokin T22 between them and they are both complaining the drip tip gets so hot it is burning their lips.
This is the same on all 3 of the units. Is it a question of a better drip tip or could there be another reason.

PS I think the last time I had burning lips was in the 60's

What coil (ohms) and power (Watts) is it being used at?

General advice:
Make sure too that the contact is good/clean on the 510 connector. (Poor contact will result in additional heating)

I use (old style) delrin (plastic) drip tips.... they don't heat up as much compared with metal ones.


[ETA] - I haven't used a Innokin T22 before, so don't know if there are other device specific reasons.

The mod is a fixed output of 14 watts and the coil is 1.6 or 1.8

The T22 only fires at 14w and non adjustable so not sure how they are getting it that hot TBH
Unless they are non stop sucking like mad men and not resting between pulls on the power button.

Yep strange... not that high powered a device, assuming that there isn't a fault with device (or operator! ) and also assuming that the coils are indeed 1.6/1.8 ohms.

i used to use these many moons ago.

He reckons the drip tip went hot after 1 draw

i've put together a box of assorted drip tips for him to try - some of them are a stone material so they shouldn't conduct heat

Really not sure what is wrong mate, i had the t18 which is the same thing but with smaller battery as a emergency back up at work and you could pull as hard 
as you liked and for as long as posable and that never got hot warm yes hot no.

Not had a problem with either my T18E or T22.

In the box, Innokin provided 2 spare plastic drip tips.

Where did they get them from? Are you sure they are genuine?

Sounds like the atomizer is getting too hot (the coil) because it's not wicking well enough.

I've had this with various design of coils.

What's the VG ratio? I don't think the Endura tank can really do 14w and high VG... i.m.o.

80/20 PG/VG

How old are the coils?

I have noticed that the older the coil gets the hotter the tank gets as well. I would think that's because there's no proper heat exchange between coil and and liquid around it.

That wouldn't normally wick slow... curious.
