Your tank will get warm with prolonged use for sure. So long as it's not your battery / device getting hot, it is probably normal and you needn't worry about it.

Now that said, if you are getting burnt or dry hits, notice your battery or mod getting hot, see smoke (not vapor), smell burning plastic,
experiencing weird flavors or discomfort, then something may well be wrong. You did say 'rly hot' - that is not normal, but it depends on your definition of hot.

What battery / device are you using and what settings do you have it on?

Any body else having trouble with their nautilus mini getting hot after a few minutes of vaping. I'm using the 1.6 ohm bvc in it. I do tend to chain vape at night but it seems like my tank is just getting rly hot.


What are you using for power?
Chain vaping does tend to cause your topper to get warm or hot.
When that happens to me I just turn down the wattage a bit.

^^^^All this, plus...
Is it the whole tank that gets hot? If you are using the original drip tip, you might want to get a plastic or glass one.

Depending on the juice I am vaping usually 3.3V to about 4.0V. I am using the original drop tip. I am going to get a new one when I get paid. I was thinking one of the nuckle ones. And it is the whole tank that gets hot. Starts at the bottom but quickly spreads up to the glass. I'm kinda worried about that making the glass weak or something.

try getting a Delrin drip tip. I stopped using stainless after switching to Delrin as they never get warm on me. also could try loosening the tank off the mod a bit(depending what mod your using?) if you have something spring loaded you could eliminate heat transfer from mod to tank if you loosen just a bit
