    Vappower Green 35A 2500mAh 18650 Bench Test Results...a 20A battery, no higher

    This last is interesting. I agree that those looking only at the chart... may not take the time to read the full test report on a specific battery, but simply trust "The Chart" to tell them all they might need to know. . Perhaps on those cells that are on the ragged edge of making a higher (or...

    Vappower Green 35A 2500mAh 18650 Bench Test Results...a 20A battery, no higher

    Know what I find interesting brother Moochy... That every cell on your chart (save for the ones that are rated below 15A), will safely make 15A. Nine will make 20A safely, and with the exception of the HB6, none will go beyond 25A without getting a caution or fail. Another item worth noting...

    Comment by 'State O' Flux' in 'Coming Soon!!! User friendly advancements/upgrades to the Steam Engine coil modelling calculator!'

    Lars ran the beta test program by me today, and he tweaked a few values to more accurately define HF and HC... and now he needs to fine tune the variables of voltage drop, so the numbers achieved are reasonably accurate, regardless of battery used. This is where you come in Mooch... I told him...

    What is a super sub ohm atty?

    It depends on what one actually needs... and what one can imagine. One can make a case for nearly any resistance/wattage combination. With enough coils, made from thick wire... you can still be in the 0.2Ω range, and actually need 400 watts to make a decently warm heat flux value.

    hex ohm v2.1 question

    Using Ohm's law, with a typical unregulated mod, fully charged voltage of 4.2V... a good place to start would be 59 watts. The wire gauge you use, along with the number of coils in parallel will have an effect on vape temperature and vape time-to-temperature... so you'll want to use 59 watts as...

    Coming Soon!!! User friendly advancements/upgrades to the Steam Engine coil modelling calculator!

    That's right folks, Lars is just now putting on the finishing touches to some new features in the coil program. The most useful will be a "Suggested Wattage" cell that will offer a wattage recommendation based on wire gauge and coils in parallel. What this means is that, for people who don't...

    Lithium-ion battery experiments: More power - lasts longer

    This advancement, graphene enhanced power densities... these and other fascinating new battery technologies are certainly making a case for things like low operating temperature, 60A continuous, 6000 mAh 18000 series batteries... some time in the not too distant future. OK... that last bit...

    Lithium-ion battery experiments: More power - lasts longer

    More fascinating stuff on the cutting edge of battery development. Scientists at MIT accidentally discover a new way to make lithium-ion batteries last longer and hold up to three times the energy. "The discovery is expected to be an easy one to scale up to mass production, meaning the...

    Coil leg length?

    Ask yourself this question: If you have a 56.5mm length of 24 gauge wire, and the resistance for that wire is 0.4Ω... how much is functional coil and how much power wasted to the legs? The number of wraps and mandrel OD have nothing to do with net resistance... just functional resistance...

    Multimeter help.

    No. At sub-ohm, they're not accurate. Buy a known good quality, accurate (accuracy and resolution are not the same thing) build box/ohm meter.

    Multimeter help.

    Switch to the 200 Ω (Ohms) scale (180° opposite 0f where it is now), Black test lead to COM. Red test lead to "VΩmA". Red test terminal to positive, Black test terminal to ground. Don't trust it for anything less than one Ohm.

    Running a dual 18650 box with single battery?

    Not a big box mod fan... but if I were in the market, I'd be looking only at "full mechanical"... as in no wire, no solder and no springs carrying current. It's probably a silly prerequisite, but being a disciple of KISS... there's less to go wrong.

    Running a dual 18650 box with single battery?

    1. Not an issue... same as running a single cell mod, as the terminals are "common". However... some require two batteries to take up lateral space - In other words, without a second battery, the single cell can shift. When you look at them, check the battery sled for a center separator. 2...

    Twist per inch on a twisted wire coil

    Yes. The tighter the twist rate, the more wire is used for a given length... and the net resistance per strand pair (or more) increases. Click the siglines below, where you'll find "Steam Engine" and an advanced guide to use it. One of the features is a calculation for multiple strands (up to...

    SMPL mod button problems

    If it's a SMPL, you'll need to buy or borrow a pair of outside snap ring pliers. If a SMPL+, you should have gotten a hex (allan) wrench with it.

    RDA Dual coil build help

    You may be running into temperature issues... it depends on what you perceive to be too "cool", acceptably "warm" - or "just right". Is this on a mech, or a regulated mod? On a mech, the 26 gauge may be too thick for the 35 watts (and less) that Ohm's law parity provides. The vapor may be too...

    Made the switch to the sub ohm world...HELP!

    It's probably more an issue with your juice than with your current kit... although, there's a bit of a user "break-in period" when jumping from mid-ohm to semi-deep (0.3Ω qualifies) sub-ohm resistances. Are you running the same juice you did in your starter kit? Same PG and mg/ml nicotine? If...

    Dulled/no flavour

    Well, as you don't say what the wattage is... that's a tough call. If you were running a mech, Ohm's law would put you at a touch over 35 (@ 4.2V) watts... so that'd be a good place to start.
