I have a copper mechanical mod clone I used to use to build .2 dual coil RDA setups. I've been running an Aspire Atlantis on it for some time now and today I had an interesting experience. I hit the button, it wouldnt fire. This does happen from time to time as it seems like good contact isnt made. Usually the 2nd try gets the button to make good contact and everything works as it should.
Now the reason I'm mentioning the 0.2 dual coil RDA setup is because that setup draws a lot more current than the 0.5 ohm atlantis and I hadn't experienced some thing like this before..
Earlier today as I was vaping outside on my lunch break it wouldnt fire, and I was already using it without any problems so I thought it was a problem with the button making good contact. On the 2nd try the button suddenly got super hot. I'm still not sure ... happened. I quickly removed the top end and took the battery out, and it was very very warm. Though keep in mind the button was unholdable hot. As I was holding the battery in my hand it felt like it was slowly getting warmer but I have no idea if i was imagining this or not because I wasn't trying to figure out if the battery was going to vent and what to do with it. I left it outside on concrete away from people or anything that could burn just in case it decided to explode. 6 hours later when i returned the battery looks fine, no swelling and it reads 3.7volts.
Im unsure of what the hell happened earlier today. I'm thinking if it was the battery, it should have warmed up everything around it, but the mod body didn't really heat up, so it's probable that the finicky button is at cause. It probably didn't have a good contact in some place, where only a small surface area was making contact so it heated up. Because it seems like the button is what really heated up and it probably transferred some heat to the battery. I didnt have a laser themometer so I don't really know what the temp of each part was so I cant be definite, plus I was freaking out trying to handle the situation in a safe manner.
Anyways, do you guys think this battery is ok? Should I give it some light use and see if it heats up? I belive it's a sony vtc4. I know I didnt over load it, even though I was chain vaping today on my break.
I bought these batteries some time ago off amazon. I know there are sellers on there who sell fakes but I made sure the vendor I bought it from had all positive reviews with no fake comments. Is there a way to verify 100% that these batteries are legit? If not, .... it I might just buy new batteries from another reputable company. It doesn't necessarily have to be a sony, especially now that im not running 0.2ohm builds and that other companies are making good batteries.

. This kind of thing is the down side of vaping mech mods. That's all I've been vaping for the last couple of years and I agree with the others who said if there is a problem, stop and fix it right away. I've had switches get intermittent and I did that before things got worse or it had a chance to hide another problem from me.
