retird Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Heating in that area seems to say there is a connectivity issue. Is the battery hot if you immediately pull it out? The case/battery cap is the ground path... The design of the cap makes the contact screw the only connection point at the battery if the screw causes the battery to not contact the cap, but just the screw.

retird Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 If there is no tears in the battery wrap that could contact the battery housing then I am thinking there is a connectivity issue... Since the battery is getting hot I think one would want to stop using that device and contact the supplier and/or HCigar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spammy1982 Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 WebGab-Howdy, I have the VT75 as well and had a similar issue with overheating- here's how I fixed it. I cleaned the threads on the battery cover with alcohol. Black gunk is building up during regular use on the threads and -just like a mech mod- it starts to overheat when it's dirty. I've been cleaning the threads every other time I change the battery and I haven't had any heat problems since.Hope this helps.-Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobalt327 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'd guess you are, but always use the sleeve that centers the 18650 battery in the battery tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Just wanted to second spammy1982's suggestion to clean the battery cap threads. My vt75 was overheating in exactly the same spot and although there was no obvious soiling of the battery cap threads, cleaning them with alcohol did the trick.
