What batteries are those? The color makes me think lg he4, but the stickers on yours are different than mine. (My sticker is clear with black font, yours is white).
Got any other cells that you can pop in there to see if maybe its the batteries at fault?
Guessing here, cause to my eye your box mod looks pretty pro.
Aside from that, the only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is where your button and 510 connector pass through the body of the mod. Are you sure that there is sufficient metal to metal contact with the components and the box itself? If the box is painted or powder coated and the button and 510 connector can't make a good contact with the chassis on the ground side of things, I could potentially see things heating up more than would be desired. Take that with a grain of salt though, I guess, since I've never built one of these things.

It probably is the build. Those look to be LG HE4s. Those are 20 amp batteries. Take it down to about 0.5 ohms. That's safer.
Of course pulling more than the batteries can handle is not good but 1 amp should not be a breaking point of no heat to extreme heat and I never had a problem before and with 14g solid it doesn't make sense and the mosfet to the box I understand that but that wouldn't release much heat as the current will still build up at the point of least resistance in this case what can't be released in the coils will build up in the line wires
Mosfets do get hot, and should be attached to metal, that's why they have a small heat sink with a hole they are to be mounted with.
You don't seem to want help here. Maybe you should talk to the modder who made it, or just throw it away. Yes I know you made it.

You obviously don't understand the nature of my problem I'm trying to get around a problem without really altering the build the box works perfectly just wanted to know if there was a way to get it a little cooler and as of right now I just haven't seen any options without altering the build every response on this thread was good until yours guess you can't get away ass holes no matter where you go
Well then. Try a 3.2 ohm coil. It will definitely run cooler then. No need for the name calling. I was trying to help.
Actually I don't know why I give a fuck. Go blow your. Fucking face off idiot.
Fucking kids.

Your a real nice person and you deserve what I said before with the smart ass comment you made before you 60 year old stubborn fuck if your not going to be helpful and nice at the same time then just keep your damn mouth shut dude and you weren't trying g to help you were being a smart ass telling me to throw my box away
