Ar Mod Mechanical Mod Tac Mods Battery question what too use

[Celph14]

Hi i just bought the Ar Mod Mech Mod by Tac mods and I didnt realize you had to really be cautious with Mech Mods or atleast know what you are doing. So my question is in simplest terms can somebody please give me suggestions on EXACTLY which batterys too buy for them. Im new too vaping I got my ipv Mini but wanted something new. Im gonna throw my brand new Vertex v2 rda onto the Ar Mod so thats really all the information I could give you and hopefully I get can some answers on just what battery too get. Ill get a nice charger for it and anything else I need? Thanks !

Bottom line, you want to use IMR (safe chemistry, high drain, unprotected) batteries. Battery Basics for Mods There is a large list of these batteries in this link. Avoid ICR protected batteries.

When using a mechanical mod, the choice of what IMR battery to use depends entirely on how many amps your coils require. If using normal resistance coils (above 1 ohm resistance), 10 amps is plenty. If using sub-ohm coils (under 1 ohm resistance), your battery must have enough amps output to safely fire the coil. Explain It To The Dumb Noob: Ohm's Law Calculators

Pila, Xtar, and Nitecore are popular battery charger brands for vaping. RTD Vapor is a popular and recommended supplier for both batteries and chargers.

So If I bought a 20 or 30 amp battery lets say for a sub ohm then I wanted too build a ohm level coil above 1 ohm's could I STILL use the same amp battery or do I have too get like a 10 amp as you stated above and ALSO does it matter what mah battery I get?

You can certainly use a 30 amp battery with normal resistance coils. You may not need the extra amps now, but it doesn't hurt anything.

Mah only gives an approximation of how long a battery will last between charges during usage. A not so accurate example is 100 mah is equal to 1 hour battery use. Generally speaking, the higher the mah of a battery, the less amps it will have. Likewise, the higher the amps rating, the less mah it will have. A couple of the newer hybrid/IMR batteries have both higher mah and amp rating, such as the Sony VTC 5. That's why its such a highly sought out battery for our application and so often hard to find available because of its popularity.

Pick your batteries by the application that you will be using them. If you need higher amps because you sub-ohm, then the higher amp batteries should be your priority, and higher mah becomes secondary. If you don't sub-ohm, then higher mah is the priority over higher amps. Just be sure you are using the right chemistry (IMR) for all of your battery needs, and not ICR.
