AV mech mod. My first mech

[the_adre]

there's a difference between the lg hB4 and hE4...

Wow. thats 10 amps difference. i wish i have better 18650s.

 

[sawlight]

Right. i'll take note of that. and
what do you mean by "add around a 15% safety factor"?

Wow. sony vct5a? are they really that good? i'll try to look for some of those too. some shops do sell samsung 25r's. are they fine?

I mean if you're batteries are rated at 20 amps, run them to 17 amps, just a nice safety cushion to have.
Mooch rates the VCT5a's to a 70 amp pulse. I wouldn't go that hard, but it's nice to know if something goes wrong, the battery won't blow up!

Now thats a beast for a 18650. where can i get those. i want 10 of those please. lol. im sure theyre expensive!

 

[Cheallaigh]

the ones you have a good batteries and go for the usual 20a... I suggested the browns because they will last longer. you never want to run batteries to the limits, bad things can happen. planning for a buffer is part of building. using a device that is a single battery means you have to watch your build more closely, using one that uses double or triple batteries gives you more room to play with. definitely read a bit more, but you're getting the idea and asking, it's a good thing.

Getting a hint of it but not the whole idea though. i'll get there. i still have a lot of reading and researching to do. So far, the only thing i know is i just have to make sure that my 18650 can handle my build.thanks!

Oh yea. i didnt notice that. my bad.

I need some of those myself, I just didn't want to have to go across the borders to do it... I have a bad habit of building between .15 to .2 lately and I know it's a bad thing... so then I have to rebuild again. mainly it's because I'm playing with different wires and builds right now, finding what I like the most.

Sorry, kinda hard to find them in Canadonia! But yeah, if you are going that hard, you need some! Although your Dripbox won't care how low you build, it's limited at 60w regardless of the build.

 

[Cheallaigh]

oh I know, but these are going on the kbox too... and while yes the dripbox is rated to .2... the kbox is .1... building for the pro rba for the pro tank 4 is an education in frustration.

 

[the_adre]

Any thoughts on the mech mod that i'll be getting? Its an AV VM mod m1p5 style. a clone. its my first my mech. lol. excited and a bit nervous.

 

[Cheallaigh]

closest I come to a mech or will come to one is my dripbox... it's technically a mech by "some standards" and not by others, because it has a safety chip etc... hopefully someone else knows about that model.

Is that the kanger dripbox? for squonking? or am i talking about another thing?

 

[Cheallaigh]

oh don't get me started or you're going to regret your new toy before you even get it lol.

No. i dont have any idea to be honest. lol. yea i hope i wont regret it though.

 

[Cheallaigh]

basically, yes it's a mech(not as much as some, there are full mech ones) squonker, there are also regulated squonkers... they have a larger(from 5ml to 15nl) bottle attached that you generally squeeze to make juice go into a rda from the bottom... so benefits of a tank, without the juice getting boiled as a tank heats up, clouds and flavour of an rda and of course more coil building options.

this is my current.. because I was trying to get my hubby into it
Kanger DRIPBOX Starter kit

this is my next one... I'm not into the really fancy ones, but there are better of course.

I like the dripbox for one special reason... you can buy fully built replaceable coils... since I am the builder it gets my hubby off my back hehehehe.. and I like kangers.

Oh yea. i have a friend that has one of those. looks badass. I like it

have you tried using a full mech?

 

[Cheallaigh]

it's not a full mech because it has a safety chip and a max of 60w, which I like. my quality of vape is like a mech in that... my battery, coil, and juice dictates it... not wattage etc.

Velocity V2 from angelcigs.com, comes with the bf pin installed for like $9? Stupid easy to build and offers a lot of airflow options.
