    Looking for a second mod...specs and thoughts

    The Vaporesso Revenger is a good mod, and fairly compact. The Eleaf Invoke is about as small as a dual-18650 mod can get, not much bigger than many single-18650 mods. I haven't tried one yet, but reviews are fairly positive. If you're running the Valyrian at 57w you'll want a dual-battery mod to...

    Help a Coil Building Newbie

    The amp display on the Speeder (and all other regulated mods I know of) show the output amps. Pretty much useless information. The amp drain at the battery is the same regardless of the resistance of the coil. Battery voltage / watts = amps Not that the amount draw is at its maximum with...

    Help a Coil Building Newbie

    That's not necessarily true. At the same wattage, a .2 ohm coil draws exactly the same amps as a 1 ohm coil. Depending on the wire gauge and resulting coil mass either might require more watts, and in that case draw more amps. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    Batteries on g priv

    The actual charger is inside the mod. The USB adapter is simply a power source. The charging circuitry will only draw the current it needs so there's no danger in using a higher rated wall adapter. In fact, it's better as the adapter won't be pushed to hard risk overheating.

    Mod battery drain issues

    That's weird. Fasttech has never done that with me. The warranty has always been counted from when I received the order. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    Really liked my eLeafs until this week :(

    I use both my Picos exclusively in ss mode and I've had zero problems with them. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    Wire suggestion for my tanks

    Yes indeed, but the batteries will still provide the voltage they do, no more and no less than their current charge (not accounting for voltage drop). The circuitry of the mod regulates that voltage by drawing more or less current. Thus the amp draw is always identical at a specific wattage...

    Wire suggestion for my tanks

    Lower resistance won't take more amps (at the same wattage). The battery will provide the volts it has. If a higher voltage is needed more amps are drawn for the conversion, if less voltage is needed less current is drawn. For the same wattage the amp draw will be the same, no matter the...

    Wire suggestion for my tanks

    Sorry, but I don't follow your logic here. Watts are watts, and the batteries don't get strained more just because the resistance of the coil is lower. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Aegis drops the wattage when the battery is half way or less

    That won't matter as they will be exaggerating anyway. People need to stop buying these rewraps. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Mod Recommendation

    The manufacturers use the wrong term, not at all that uncommon. Try vaping with the batteries removed and usb connected. It won't work, i.e. it's not actual passthrough vaping. Don't take it personally, it was in no way meant in such a way. The warning to refrain from vaping while charging is...

    Touching back on single cell mech builds..

    It should be noted though that the cdr lowers as the battery ages and no resistance reader is exactly accurate at very low resistances. That's more than enough reason not to push the cdr. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Is it worth becoming a mech wizard for skwonkers

    Learning ohms law, battery safety, mech safety etc is worthwhile in itself. I basically haven't touched a mech in two years or so, but I'll never regret learning to use them properly. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Mod Recommendation

    Technically, that is "vape while charging" and not "passthrough" as the charging is interrupted while vaping (if the mod works correctly). Usb power simply isn't enough to vape directly off (true passthrough vaping) with modern setups. I'd suggest to not vape while charging. It introduces...

    2 DNA 75C questions..resistance lock and mod internal resistance

    I notice that no one has provided any details on how to actually set up the mod resistance in Escribe, beyond shorting the 510. Here's a video to that effect. A bit lengthy... Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Having problems with TC on Pico Mega

    Do you choose "yes" at the new/old coil question after refilling the tank? Don't, as that will mess up the tc. Also, I believe the preheat is only for power mode. In tc mode you simply set the wattage high enough for the coil to reach temperature fast enough. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Aegis drops the wattage when the battery is half way or less

    Buy only 18650s by LG, Samsung, or Sony, from a trusted vendor (so you know they're authentic). All others are subpar rewraps with ridiculously exaggerated specifications. There is no 18650 over 3000 mAh with 20+ amp cdr, and no 18650 with more than a 30 amp cdr (and those only have 1500 mAh)...

    LG HB6 or Samsung 25R for single cell regulated

    At 75w the amp draw is more like 25 amps, depending on the low voltage cutoff and chip efficiency. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    LG HB6 or Samsung 25R for single cell regulated

    Get the LG as you're exceeding the cdr otherwise. Up to 75w the Sony vtc5a (not vtc5!) would be a better option. It has a cdr of 25 amps. The resistance of the coil doesn't affect the amp draw on a regulated device. In any case, if you want to vape at that high a wattage I'd suggest a...
