    Mech mod safety: charging and low res vaping

    With quality IMRs the minimum voltage is 2.5v. You will definitely know that its time to charge before you get that low. Keep in mine that if you are vaping sub ohm coils, the max discharge on an AW 18350 is 6 amps. So keep you coils at .8 or more with the little batts.

    Amperage issues.

    How are you measuring the current and voltage?

    SmokTech The Natural - New mechanical device

    Doesnt matter. Reversing the battery does make the body of the mod the positive conduit, but as long as you arent holding a grounded object in the same hand as the mod, while pressing the button, there is no danger.

    SmokTech The Natural - New mechanical device

    I saw the mention of voltage drop on the Natural in another thread and didnt want to litter that thread as it serves a specific purpose. I watched part of the review mentioning (that was all, just a mention, no testing shown in the vid) the .36V drop. It wasnt stated, but can only be assumed...

    Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank

    http://www.homedepot.com/buy/ridgid-1-8-in-cobalt-drill-bit-6754.html HSS isnt going to cut it for anything besides thin stainless. HSS will work for a hand full of cuts into thin stainless (like the top cap) but for anything with a bit of thickness you'll need a good bit. Sent from my Nexus...

    Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank

    You'll need a cobalt drill bit for stainless. Low RPM and well lubed. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

    What's the best Mech Mod to use with ultra low rez Genesis?

    You may be surprised. Granted, it's not a finely machined piece of stainless, but it's quite sturdy.

    RMS vs. MEan

    Two sides of the same coin as far as voltage is concerned. RMS is used when wattage is a key factor. It is the equivalent DC voltage for a pulsed output. More here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/rader2146/3499-what-rms.html

    How would juice short out a battery?

    It doesnt. But it's an easy scapegoat for people that don't necessarily know about electricity to blame for their battery/autoswitch failures. I'd venture to say that a good cleaning in some alcohol would rectify must of those "shorts".

    18650 batteries/charger

    Xtar chargers are very good. Those batteries are crap for a rediculous price. Thier performance is all over the place and never up to the rated specs. The BRC batteries are intended for low drain devices. You might tell us what you intend to use these batteries in and we can recommend a...

    EGO T MOD vs BOLT vs CHICHI

    ChiChi... -Nothing to wear out, all mechanical. Gives you the option to run low resistance and ultra-low resistance if you wanted to without worry of burning up wiring or switches. -Telescopic: 18650/18500/18350, you choose what you want to use at the time. 18350 mode is very pocket...

    What's the best Mech Mod to use with ultra low rez Genesis?

    I have the CCTS/China GG running very nicely at .8ohms. I tried a 1.0ohm coil on my Bolt with upgraded wiring and measure a .3v drop compared to the China GG with the same battery used in each. The Bolt is definitely not an option for ultra-low resistance.

    Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank

    My AGA-T+ was also very hard to get the top cap off....to the point of using a knife in the seam to get it past the bottom o-ring. I'm not necessarily a small guy and I do rough work with my hands for living, so grip strength is not the issue. I ended up chucking the cap in the lathe and using...

    (2) Panasonic CGR18650CH 18650 2250mAh Batteries began smoking in Nitecore Intellicharger I2, not sure why

    What are you getting at? You're running around in circles here. My argument was never how or why the charger died. It was that your conclusion of why the charger died was completely wrong. Again, batteries dont request current, they just accept what is given to them. The fact that you...

    (2) Panasonic CGR18650CH 18650 2250mAh Batteries began smoking in Nitecore Intellicharger I2, not sure why

    Come on man :facepalm:, your batteries charged at 1.57A because you told it to charge at .7C. 2250*0.7 = 1.575A The battery didn't ask for that much current, the charger just delivered what it was told to deliver. If a charger is told to deliver 500mA then it will deliver 500mA no matter...

    (2) Panasonic CGR18650CH 18650 2250mAh Batteries began smoking in Nitecore Intellicharger I2, not sure why

    Xtar SP2 or WP2 II gets my vote. Solid proven chargers. I'm very sure. What charging profile do you use? Programmable power supply? Parameters? Current limiting? Termination Current? If all you do is hook the battery to a power supply that is set for 4.2v, then yes, it will draw a lot...

    :facepalm: NO, batteries are dumb objects, they don't request anything. They accept current and they give current, that is all. Much like a bucket will accept water and give water, it doesn't tell you to pour the water faster. The CHARGER is responsible for setting the amount of charge...
