    Pick me out a MOD

    This is my 1st mechanical and first time trying sub ohms. Aparently no one wants to read my thread that turned into 3 pages. That thread got me this far though (thanks): Battery: I'm getting these Sony 30A green batteries with a Nitecore i2 charger: $11.76 Sony US18650VTC3 18650 1600mAh...

    Please choose my first cheap mech, batts, and charger.

    thanks for the info, but I was thinking I narrowed it down to those choices for hot spring mods (if they even have those) without fuses. In 6 months or so, there'll probably be a bunch of VV 40W MODs with protection.

    Thanks. I'll get a bunch of 30A green Sonys. However, I'm not sure what to calculate for the max watts it can push when I use the ohms law calculator before firing the coil (despite that I'm almost certain there won't be a problem because everyone raves about these doing like .2ohm, but I'll...

    Thanks for your help and I didn't have to read 71 page threads. I guess I'll get a mod with a hot spring instead of magnets or a non-hot spring. I'd like it to be able to fit an inline fuse + an 18650. However, a vendor notes in their vapesafe fuse description that it 'Prevents Hot...

    Isn't a metal case a bad idea? Are you saying the spring gives added safety? Because I was considering a magneto clone with magnets in place of the spring. I haven't quite digested Baditude's blog posts yet (many thanks), so I'm still battery shopping.

    I think this just means FT sent it to a post office and they are noting that they got it. If they reject it, that's probably part of the preparing part. Regardless, I don't think there'll be a problem. It's not like probably 90% of all batteries are shipped from china anyway. Mayeb FT will have...

    i read the thread. FT is wrapping them in foil now to trick the xrays. Maybe I can blackmail FT.

    I've been using an igo-w with a smoktech groove (15W, 5A, 6V max). I have a 1.8ohm dual ribbon coil at 6 volts but my protank even out performs it. I drilled out the igo air holes just a tiny bit too. I need high watts. I was going to wait for things like the new Gi2 40W regulated box mod to...

    Pure Silica rope rated above 1600°C? wick string 1800 degrees degree 2000 1600°C 2000°C 1800°C

    I'm hoping I'll do just fine with with organic cotton or hemp like most are using when I get my dual sub ohm dripping gear. But I'm almost out of 1600°C silica and want more for back up. I was going to buy the fasttech bargain silica. Basically all of the reviews praise it, but I couldn't...

    Organic cotton versus sterile, bleached - what's the story?

    let the water ruble boil for a while before you add the cotton so that the water boils off some contaminates - same thign with makign pasta etc.

    Organic cotton versus sterile, bleached - what's the story?

    "Does straight VG have any taste to it? I'd like to do a taste test using silica, yarn and cotton balls." It has a lot more taste than I thought it would but it tastes a lot better than I thought. Plain %100 VG at about 8MG is one of my fav vapes. At only 8MG, I can taste the tobacco from nic...

    Organic cotton versus sterile, bleached - what's the story?

    "Sterile 100% cotton balls. The cheapest ones you can find are just fine. If you want to boil them, feel free. Don't worry about what kind of chemical pesticides or fertilizers were used to grow the cotton. Any foolishness spread about the potential dangers of using conventionally grown...

    how much buffer zone below your batt's max Amp/Watt limit do you build with a mech mod?

    Suppose you have a 10A 40W limit battery. What's the highest you'd let an Amp calculator calculate for the resistance you built your coil and at 3.7 volts? For example, would you never vape anything that calculates to be more than 8A or 35W just to have that safety buffer in case something...

    Newbie question on RBA and prebuilt wicks

    and great thing about non clearo-style tanks is more space you get to build with and more room for more wraps. Again, make sure you know your ohms before firing. I assuem you're using a protected mod battery and not a mechanical mod (basically just a battery in a metal pipe), because if you...
