So my co-worker almost turned into "that guy" yesterday...

[RebornLincoln06]

You know, that guy who swears he knows what he's doing with safety and builds stupid low resistances on his mods? You know, that guy who ruins it for everyone??

I caught this boy running a .08 on his switch box mod (has parallel and series capabilities.) Guess which switch was turned on?

Got VERY close to venting his batteries. If it wasn't for me noticing, we would've seen another guy on the news who got his face blown off because he didn't pay attention to safety. people, people... It's not hard!! Just do your research. Even .08 on parallel mode isn't completely safe either.

YOLO, I guess, lol.

There seems to be a lot of this going around lately...

It's sad really. I'm all for pushing the boundaries of what is possible if it wasn't for those people pushing the boundaries we wouldn't have the hardware we have now. So as long as you know what you are doing I say push the limits but don't ruin vaping for the rest of us by not using the very best hardware available. Me personally I don't build any lower than. .3 on anything

People, even very intelligent ones, can and do make mistakes. It's in our nature. When doing any activity, it's always wise to leave a little headroom.

soooo, he was about to take a toke at 800 watts ?

Yes sir!! He kept asking why his hits were drying out pretty much instantly. I suggested more cotton, until I saw his read out at like 6.3 volts...I just about freaked lol.

Guess what he's gonna say to the media after he blows the mod up? "These things are dangerous. People should know about it." No, YOU should have known about it! Mech mods are dangerous if without proper knowledge! ...Not that i'm not using it, but hey. I do my homework and stay safe, not going under .4 ohms even with 30A battery.

The tragic thing is that if you really want to fog out a room, you can do it safely without using dangerously low resistance coils.

 

[ReigntheGamer]

But the random guy on YouTube said it was safe!

Idk if "experiance" is going to help anybody who is running 0.0x builds on a mech.
Even with "the right" batteries, it's pushing it to the limit.
I might piss some people off, but who is dumber, the guy who simply doesnt know anything about Ohms law and battery safety or the one who does and still decides to run a build at 35+ amps?

Definitely a fair point to make.
