Thelema Elite 40: Device shuts down and shows 'Too Hot'
The screen displays 'Too Hot' and the device shuts itself down, stopping you from vaping. This is a built-in thermal protection cutting in because the internal board temperature has exceeded its safe limit.
Why this happens
- The internal board temperature has risen too high, triggering the automatic thermal shut-off
- Extended or heavy chain-vaping sessions generating sustained heat inside the device
- Using or storing the device in a hot environment, such as direct sunlight, a car dashboard or near a heat source
- Exposure to extreme ambient temperatures, which the manual explicitly warns against
How to fix it
- Stop vaping immediately and do not attempt to override or restart the device while the warning is showing. The shut-down is a safety protection and must be allowed to complete its job.
- Move the device away from any heat source, direct sunlight or warm surface. Place it somewhere cool and well-ventilated.
- Do not disassemble the device or remove any internal components while it is cooling. The manual states the device should not be disassembled without Lost Vape's recommendation.
- Wait for the internal board temperature to drop back to 60°C or below. Only once it has cooled sufficiently will the device allow you to vape again. This may take several minutes depending on how warm the surroundings are.
- Once the device has recovered and the warning has cleared, resume vaping with shorter, more spaced-out puffs to avoid the board overheating again.
- If the 'Too Hot' warning appears repeatedly under normal vaping conditions or in a cool environment, stop using the device and contact Lost Vape support or the retailer, as this may indicate a fault requiring professional assessment.
