As has been said: if the mod is getting warm from your hand, or conduction from the atomizer, this is normal and not a problem. It the batteries are getting hot, that's a serious problem. What it might be, I can't tell from your description, except I don't think 4 hits and rest is too high a duty cycle.
Why is my high mass vape Coil getting hot?
It takes some decent wattage to get all that metal up to temperature, and with the coil’s high mass, it’ll retain its heat for a while after you release the fire button. During a lengthy vaping session, you’ll feel that heat radiating throughout your mod. So, your high-mass coil is getting hot? You’ve got two options.
How do you know if your vape coils are bad?
You’ll know that’s happening because the coil will become extremely hot, and the vaping experience will be absolutely horrible. If your vaping device has a built-in resistance meter, you’ll also notice that the coil’s resistance has changed drastically from before you replaced the RDA’s top section.
What happens when you replace the RDA on a vape coil?
If your vaping device has a built-in resistance meter, you’ll also notice that the coil’s resistance has changed drastically from before you replaced the RDA’s top section. This is a scenario that you need to correct immediately.
Should a vape Wick be wet or dry?
This isn’t coil gunk; the coil is clean, but the wick is burned. The one cardinal rule of vaping is that your coil’s wick must always remain wet. Do you like a very warm vape?
Why is my vape mod getting hot?
Your coils heat up as you press the button on your vape. If your coils are sub-ohm they produce even more heat. As you vape, some of that heat is transferred to your tank. This is completely normal, but if you are noticing it a lot try to limit the amount of vapes one after the other.
Is it bad if your vape heats up?
If you've located the source of the heat and you believe it's coming from your vape tank, then this should be nothing to worry about. Your tank is where your e-liquid is located, so it's completely normal for your device to warm up in this area.
Is chain vaping bad?
Chain vaping is indeed associated with several side effects owing to the intensity of the vapor and constant steadiness of the vaping process. Some of these side effects include dehydration, vaper's tongue, flavoring allergies and sensitivities, and in extreme cases, nicotine poisoning.

I use almost the exact same setup.... RX200, Velocity Mini Clone and dual kanthal Claptons (0.35-0.5phms) at between 50-70w.

I've used your resistance/wattage with 1 battery rigs with no ill effects.

Is my coil setup (0.48 Ohms) right for my battery discharge ? Or is it too high/low?

Hello, after checking the problem, i come to a conclusion that the velocity rda is heating up super quick thus making my mod hot too. What is the problem and how do i solve this. Cheers!

Solutions to a hot atomizer: Build cooler coil, more time between hits, add heat sinking base and drip tip, more wick and juice in the atty, more air flow, turn power down on mod.

You're well within the amp limits of your batteries with your build at 50w. It's about 10amps.
How to know if your vape coil is too hot?
Do you like a very warm vape? Do you like to push the limits when it comes to big clouds and intense flavor? If your coil is getting too hot, you’re probably pushing things a bit too far and drying your coil’s wick out before it can pull more e-liquid from your tank. You’ll know that’s happening because you’ll see burned spots on the wick when replacing your coil. If that’s the case, you need to tone things down. Try one of all of these three things.
How to remove hot spots from a vape coil?
You already know that you can eliminate them by gently pushing the wraps of the coil together — or pulling them apart — with a pair of ceramic tweezers. What you might not realize, though, is that you can also encounter a hot spot if your coil touches the inner wall of your RDA when you replace the RDA’s top section. You’ll know that’s happening because the coil will become extremely hot, and the vaping experience will be absolutely horrible. If your vaping device has a built-in resistance meter, you’ll also notice that the coil’s resistance has changed drastically from before you replaced the RDA’s top section. This is a scenario that you need to correct immediately. It doesn’t just make for a terrible vaping experience; it’s also a potentially dangerous short circuit situation.
Have You Reduced Your Tank’s Airflow?
Some people end up closing air tanks’ intake vents slightly for a more flavor-forward vaping experience. As soon as you do that, though, you’ll learn that those intake vents also serve a second purpose: They provide fresh air that helps to prevent your vape coil from getting hot. If you reduce the size of your tank’s intake vents, you’ll need to compensate by vaping at a slightly lower wattage.
Have You Tried a Temperature Control Coil?
Temperature control is a vaping technology whose time seems to have come and gone. While you could once expect to find at least one titanium or nickel coil available for any given tank, today it isn’t even a given that you’ll find a stainless steel coil for your tank since kanthal mesh is all the rage. Even today, though, any decent regulated box mod has a temperature control function available as long as you can find a coil made from the correct material. Temperature control vaping requires just two things:
Why is it important to eliminate hot spots before using a coil?
It’s important to eliminate hot spots before using a coil because a coil that heats unevenly will never give you a good vaping experience. It’ll always create hot, harsh vapor that doesn’ t taste right — and since it’ll quickly burn through the wick, things will only get worse from there.
Why do coils have hot spots?
A hot spot is a section of a coil that glows much more brightly than the rest of the coil due to uneven spacing between the wraps of the coils.
Which tip material is best for vaping?
Take a look at this chart, courtesy of Precision Punch & Plastics. Between the three popular drip tip materials, Ultem has the highest heat resistance and may be the best choice for extremely high-temperature vaping. For non-extreme sub-ohm vaping scenarios, though, any of the three materials work well. If you like the look of a particular material — or simply like the way it feels on your lips — choose that one.
