Hot battery base

[Ohm_my_goodness]

Hi.

I've got the aspire nautilus, and on a vape draw of over say, 2 secs the battery base cover at the bottom can clearly be felt heating up.
Now, I know this is obviously due to the internal bottom "pip/nipple/raised bump" of the neg battery terminal being ever so slightly loose to the battery.
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this annoying issue, and come up with a simple fix.
I'm using recommended batteries from the shop. ("efest IMR 8650"), the actual battery isn't the problem as I've tried several different ones.

Note:
Casing and battery are all fitted correctly.


Cheers.

which nautilus are you using?
i believe there have been a few newer versions since i last used the original and 2 but never noticed any heat as running below 14watts.
also what coil and wattage are you running.
efest as far as i know are not great from what ive read in the past but im no expert on batteries.
with over 45 mods i have only ever used samsung 25R & 30Q and lately the only battery recommended for vaping the molicel P26A from Fogstar https://www.fogstar.co.uk/collections/batteries

Unclear which mod is in use here, had a quick look on aspre's website but only see the nautilus prime and it's internal.

I am not having the, it's not the batteries quote. efest are rewrapped batteries, the specs on the battery are often false. However running a Nautilus shouldn't use much power an idea of which mod you are talking about may help. A lot of members know the ins and outs of most mods, ie we know the ones with issues and can sometimes know a fix.
Your batteries are from a vapeshop, that to me is a no no, shops will often try and unload crap onto unsuspecting vapers or those they know are new vapers. On here there are trusted vendors. @MrDJ will give you the link.
Us regulars all use either fogstar or 18650uk for batteries as those 2 companies test the batteries they buy unlike the shop on the high street. @Ohm_my_goodness

Batteries should be a snug fit in mods - under no circumstances should they be 'ever so slightly loose', nor should you be getting hot button/battery door syndrome on a regulated mod.

You can try giving the battery terminals and the door a good clean (including any latching mechanism or threads depending on the door type) which may help reduce the localised heating of the battery door.

If a clean up makes no difference you have either got a shit battery or a faulty mod. The battery is the cheapest to replace - I'd replace it with a Molicel. If the new battery doesn't sort it then the mod needs replacing, but at least you'll have a good battery to pair with it.

Says
Aspire on one side
And " glint " on other.
Is it not just a nautilus as I first said?

Perhaps that helps guys.

It's an Aspire Glint with the slidey out battery door.

 

[Ohm_my_goodness]

It is yes.

I've looked at my buddies one thar he bought at the same time as me and his one has a larger battery contact nipple.
His is about 4mm in diameter, mine is around 2mm.
Was clearly a design flaw.
The difference between the two is very apparent.
I shall now contact the supplier.

 

[Ohm_my_goodness]

Nothing to do with the batteries , their in house engineer tested them and my mod.

A faulty batch of mods from their supplier.
Already recieved a new replacement now and a 30 pound gift card for anything in their shop.
Lucky the shop is local I guess.
Had to sign a waiver not to name shop.

Result.
