Vaping with mechs

[GillGee]

Hi
I'm new to sign up but not new to reading forums ,my main interest is vaping .im a mech mod exclusively kinda vaper. What are your preferred builds for instant ramp up time within .2 ohm resistance ,dual coil ,for mechs ?
Few my builds consist of either
24g kanthal 5-6 wrap
Or
24g SS 6 wrap
Parallel dual 27g stainless steel
Also 26g or 24g ni80 works well too
Simple build on my moonshot in photo this tank still gives me a brilliant vape . What tanks ru blown away by? Just got time keeper mech mod what a wee cracker it is

Hi GillGee. Welcome to the ECF.

A .2 Ohms build on a Mech Mod is going to draw about 20 Amps from a freshly charged Battery. This is right at the Limit of what Many single batteries can Safely Handle.

What type of Batteries are you using?

If you are using 20A CDR Batteries, I wouldn't suggest that you build any lower than .25 Ohms.

Hi and welcome. I am a mekkie from way back. I moved into them when I got off vape pens as, back in the dark ages, there were no regulated mods offering more than 15 watts of power. I have no favorite mech builds in the .2 range. That is lower than I would build on a one-battery rig, no matter what kind of batteries I had in it.

Welcome and glad you joined. I vape at the other end of the spectrum. Whatever toots your boat.

Lol.

Me too. Add an ohm to that and your close!
Yeah, .2 is quite low. I know a lot of people that do though so I hope you know your batteries.
Less than .2 no thanks

Too low for me but welcome

i use efest batteries and their rating says is 35 amps so i do 5 to 6 wraps of 22 gauge kanthal and it comes to 0.2 ohms to 0.19 ohms always. but be careful because for mechs you never now how the battery will work anything wrong and you wont have a very good time

Man... Be Very Care using eFest Batteries. And I would Highly Suggest you DON'T Use them in a Mech Mod with such a Low Ohm Build.

WARNING: Efest Purple 35A 3000mAh is now a 10A battery!

I Don't even know if there is a 35 Amp Constant Discharge Rate (CDR) 18650 on the Market?

My vapopolis prep got my a second un-regulated Reo, and, I still have my StingRay X. I make the coils at .9 or 1.0 ohms. That is about 13.5 - 14 watts which is easy on the battery.

It seems simple and safe.

Welcome aboard

My favorite right now is a conservative Single coil of 28g KA-1, 7/6 spaced wraps on ≈2.2mm little blue screwdriver, and I don't have to worry about Vdrop anymore

Definitely ensure that you're using authentic cells and it isn't recommend to push them to their limits as it reduces their life span. There are some great battery recommendations and reviews here on ecf

But if I was to build anything like 0.2 it wouldn't be put on any unregulated single mod because of that
Voltage under load feels more important than a resting voltage measurement imo. and can dip quite a bit lower
Resting measurements are just easier to take and we all want our cells in good health.

....If 0.2 on unregulated was a requirement for some reason I would go with quad KA-1 ribbon .08mm×.01mm 5/4 spaced wraps on ≈2.6mm
Warms up fast and vapes thick, ribbon feels cooler than round to me though
