Sub ohm vs ?????

[Kaezziel]

You don't need an account to use imgur. Imgur.com, click "upload images", drag-and-drop from your computer (or browse folders, or enter URL), copy link, paste, done. Over time I've found it was easier to learn one way of doing it that just works everywhere, rather than have to re-learn the process for every new forum/website I use, each with their own little rules and quirks and oddities.

Good to know! Thank ya!
Honestly, this is the only forum that I get on... haven't really found the need to get into any others yet. I browse some of the car forums when I need to fix something, but they can get pretty drama-queen on some of them... I just get what I need and get out!

I don't know what that battery is, Lyssie... maybe somebody else has a better idea.

The Herakles tank comes with these specs....

• 1 x Herakles Plus 0.4 ohm Coil (Pre-Installed)
• 1 x Herakles Plus Replacement 0.2 ohm 316L Coil (stainless steel)

So that means when I change my tank .... I do what? LOL I have my desert flavor in the Herakles which is a 3mg and the fruity menthol in the Kanger tank and that is a 6mg.

The Herakles 0.4 ohm is probably Kanthal - run that in Watts mode. The 0.2 ohm is Stainless Steel, and your mod can support SS, or you could run in Watts mode. If you have the setting, yes, I would use it.

So, yes, each coil needs to have the device configured properly for it to run appropriately.

@Lyssie , peel that sticker off and post another pic please showing the numbers underneath. I'm pretty confident that it is a Samsung ICR 26F or the like. If it is then it's only a 5amp CDR battery.

That looks like a Samsung INR 30Q (good) or a Samsung ICR 26F (bad). They look very similar, but are very different. Peel that sticker off to see if anything is printed on it.

The 26F is not a high drain or safe chemistry battery (meaning its an ICR battery). You want to use only IMR or INR chemistry batteries.

Now ... I have the Ni Mode currently set to 290 F ... if i go into SS mode and change that will it hold the settings or every time i change the tank i need to change it?

Good news!! It's a 30Q, so it's a 15A CDR! You're good with any of the pre-built factory coils if used properly (TC mode for TC coils!)

You'll need to change it every time you change the tank. One coil is nickel, one is SS... they have different temperature coefficients and will need to be set accordingly for everything to work properly.

Ok cool. The Samsung 30Q is a 20amp CDR battery, so you can safely use the full 50W of your mod should you choose to do so. At least the shop sold you a good battery.

Samsung 30Q 20A 3000mAh 18650 Bench Retest Results...a great 20A/3000mAh battery!

Looks like this girl is going to need another box ... what would go good with the herakles? I am to lazy to have to change it every time I want a different flavor.

Nice! So they actually outperform the rating that Samsung gives them... decent battery!

I've been following along, but keeping quiet as not to confuse things since you are getting good advice and getting it all sorted out. But learning something myself, I now have a post it note up for making Ω and ° symbols.

The Herakles tank comes with these specs....

• 1 x Herakles Plus 0.4 ohm Coil (Pre-Installed)
• 1 x Herakles Plus Replacement 0.2 ohm 316L Coil (stainless steel)

It may be overkill, but I keep a spreadsheet for my vaping that includes a list of tanks, the coil currently in use, and when I installed it. Just starting into temp control myself, I have a section keeping track of which mod, tank, coil, flavor, and settings used with my ranking of how well it vaped. Course at my age, my memory needs all the help it can get. Anyway, keep some notes until you get comfortable with your preferred settings.

There are a lot of good ones out there, Lyssie. Personally, I think the double battery 200W+ mods are overrated... you really wouldn't use that much wattage anyway (at least, I don't). I've been very happy with my Vaporesso Target mod and my HeatVape Invader Mini (the thing is all but bullet-proof!)

Target 75VTC (75W with TC)

HeatVape Invader Mini (50W with TC)

Lyssie, a very simple inexpensive setup that I use is:
1. Aspire Nautilus mini tank
2. Aspire Nautilus mini coils = 1.5 ohms
3. Eleaf iStick 30 watt with a built-in battery.
With this setup, I don't have to worry about buying different types of coils made for the iStick battery as this particular 30 watt battery doesn't do temperature control. HTH

Hrmmmm, the shinyitus is STRONG with this one

I am a Gemini .. I can't help it! I need it all and as fast as possible! It really is a problem ... I started to play with clay once and before you knew it my basement turned into a clay studio!

Does IMR vs INR make a difference? Talking batteries here.
