Also enable Replay for the profile in EScribe that you intend to use.

You should be OK at that resistance with most TC wire . Keep in mind that when using a wire like SS316 which has very little change in resistance from cold to hot any false/poor connections between the coil and board will start to show (interfere) with the lower you go down in resistance.

If you have nothing copper to use a small disc cut from a disposable aluminum pie pan would be good enough to experiment with.

keep after it, you should find it. Try the copper shim, I'm pretty sure it's going to make a difference.

Is there enough pressure against the battery to make a good connection? You might try adding a thin piece of copper between the cap and cell negative as a shim just to see if that makes any difference.

Ramps, I didn't know what to call them. Does the cap still get hot?

Try here: https://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/index.php?a=add&category=1

clean the ramps on the side of the cap and the corresponding areas of the mod. Did this problem start as soon as you received the mod or was it over time?

I have a VA 21700 DNA75C Spade, the battery cap and it's threads in the mod get oxidized quite easily. I was cleaning them with alcohol and they would oxidize rather quickly again. A couple of days ago when I cleaned the I applied a tiny amount of Noalox to the mods threads. It's too soon to know if this is going to work out but I suspect it will. Take note as to if for sure it's the battery cap and not the battery that's getting hot. A 26650 just isn't powerful enough for 100 watts, a 30 amp continuous 18560 or 2xxxx would be required. For sure it sounds like high resistance at the battery cap.

Does it fire longer than the maximum puff time that is set in EScribe? I would make it bump fire while connected with EScribe/Device monitor and see if it's the board that's supplying power to the 510 or if it's being powered directly from the batteries. I'm thinking that your 510 pin/wire is making contact with one of the battery wires perhaps.

Perhaps there's a setting in the theme that you are using that can control lock time.

Perhaps increase "lock time" (currently set to 240 minutes)

Looks to me to be a new board.

Just an example as these figures are not accurate. The board is powered by 12 volts @ 30 amps, it steps down the output voltage to something less, usually much less. So @ 3 volts output it might be able to output 50 amps+. (while only drawing 30 amps from each cell max, just an example) Oh. no to your question.

It is the amperage output of the board not the cells.

First thing I would do is measure the voltage of the battery and see if EScribe is reporting it correctly. This battery will fit Vapecige VTbox200: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-1300mah-3s-25-50c-lipo-pack.html

Did this happen as soon as you tried it after cleaning the switch, or did it take awhile to develop?

Being that the battery appears to have been sitting well below 2.8 volts (providing that volt reading is accurate) the battery surely has internal damage. With that being said I would think that the board is what's causing the problem. But I don't know for sure.

Does the mod function or throw a battery error?

First off I can't imagine a computer USB putting out that much power. Do you have a volt meter where you can measure the actual voltage of the battery?

Probably best to start the process here: https://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/index.php?a=add&category=1

The maximum voltage output on a Go board is around 3.5 volts, figure from there what resistance is needed to attain up to 30 watts. An Orion DNA pod can barely handle 20 watts with the 0.25 one, less with the .5
