About to buy supplies for my first mech - would someone please verify that I have this correct...

Dear Nice ECF Peeps,
I'm about to buy supplies for my first mech. I've done a lot of research, but I just wanted to have someone verify what I plan to purchase (I need reassurance!). Here goes:

3x AW IMR 18490's (unprotected)
Vape Safe Fuse
NITECORE Intellicharger i2
Igo-W - to learn RDA-RBA coils/wicking
sigelei Mod (waiting on model to be restocked)
30g Kanthal

I haven't been able to find the AW 18490's C rating. Does anyone know what it is?

Also, is there a generally safe range of wattage that should be followed? Like, if I run a 1.5 ohm coil at 3.7v, it will be in the 10 watt range - BUT the batteries start out at 4.2v, which would initially be at 12w. Is that safe?

Thanks for any and all info you can provide. I appreciate it.

You forgot ten miles of kitchen roll !

Looks like a good list , the AW IMR 18490 are rated at 15 c (over 15 Amp!!)


The maximum vaping power is usually dictated at the maximum wicking rate .
You can get uber mods and batteries , but it's no good if the first push of the button dries out the wick and turns it into a carboniferous melted toffee in a millisecond !
