The Doge V2 is a competition atty... that seems all that it is designed for. Monster comp winning clouds. Not made with heat dissipation in mind, so yes I can see how it would get hot rather quickly. Especially chain vaping or a long session. I almost picked it up but I pulled the trigger instead on the Royal Hunter. Just as easy to build, comparable airflow, and a Delrin Chuff cap with built in screen. Looks better too (that dog looks silly IMHO, LOL). But either way anything under .2 is a HOT ass build. I run a .12 Dual parallel 8 (16) wrap 24g Nichrome build in my Royal Hunter. I have to give it about a full minute between hits or it does get really hot. I run it on a SMPL, only 25 or 30 good hits till its time to change the battery, but that's to be expected with a build that low...
