Batteries and Resistance

[Tmg666]

So I have just discovered an interesting occurrence with my lavatube mod. When I use my efest or sony batteries the limit on my resistance is normal (.71 ohms being lowest) BUT when I use a samsung icr in it I can go as low as .45 ohms without the device giving me error codes.
If anyone has a clue as to why the icr is allowing me to get that low I would be glad for the info lol
Ps atty is a kayfun. Can add pics if necessary
Edit: no the icr is not used to subohm I was just doing some testing when I found this out.

The only thing I can think of, is perhaps samsung ICRs are outputting less voltage. If you were to assume that the lava tube has a limit of 6 amps, that would give you a .7 ohm limit when using a 4.2 volt freshly charged battery. But if the battery was used quite a bit, or didn't put out enough power, it may be able to allow a lower ohm rating since it's using less power.

Check out Ohms Law Calculator, and plug in 6 amps. I would test those ICRs to see how much power they provide.. especially under a load.

I can't tell you why the LavaTube will allow an ICR battery to fire a 0.45 ohm coil. For some reason the protection circuitry of the mod is not functioning as designed or your ohm meter is not accurate. The LT should not be firing a resistance that low.

I will tell you that your Samsung ICR only has a 2 amp limit in continuous discharge rating, and your allowing it to fire a 0.45 coil is five times above its safe operating limit.

Safety Tip: DO NOT USE AN ICR LI-ION BATTERY FOR SUB-OHM VAPING --- EVER!

All the batteries I tested were fresh off charger
I know on my mech the icr puts out more then my red efest 2000mah but abit less then the purple 2500 mah (no markings on icr so no idea what its specs are. Only use it on my regulated mods anyways )
Calculated it and I would have to be running at 2.7v to hit the .45 ohm I had assuming my multimeter is close to accurate

If you don't know the correct batteries to use while sub-ohm vaping or know the amp limits of your batteries, you have no business sub-ohming.

The .45 ohm was a test not an actual build. And if the protection circuits were malfunctioning it would occur more then with a specific battery

Ps. Dont assume I use the icr to subohm. A 1 second fire test won't make the battery kill everyone on earth. The only reason I discovered this is I was switching from my iclear tank that had a 1.8 ohm in.

Ps. Dont be a ..... without all theinfo

Then don't be a ..... and present the info in the first place.

I have no idea how long you have been vaping, or how knowledgeable you are with battery specs concerning using sub-ohm builds. I presented you with information which could save you and others serious injury. Never use an ICR battery for sub-ohm builds.

You're an adult and have the right to do as you please. However when you present a story about doing something highly not adviseable for safety reasons, I feel it is necessary to state that so that novices reading this forum do not mistakingly do what you said you did.

Cut it out please

The thread is for troubleshooting as to why it fired that low of resistance not what I am vaping. You could have simply tried to help or be on your way, I know that the icr shouldnt be used subohm. If you had politley asked if I knew about the battery saftey this would be a different conversation.
I use the icr for 1.5 ohm or high tanks
Efest for .6+
Sonys for .3-.6
If my vaping methods are of concern you just need to ask not give out darwin nominations on assumptions.

I said cut it out please

Yea, the multimeter would have to be WAY off calibration. Perhaps the lava tube uses the battery's internal resistance. but yes, that is just weird for the lava tube to error out on one battery compared to another using the same settings.

Yeah Going to test it at work tomorrow on the really good (and expensive)multimeter vs my home Depot one maybe be able to figure it out. Can always buy a new battery this just has me interested lol.

 

[asvaldr]

Maybe your LT is a faulty one? Or maybe you discovered some secret method to do sub ohm on it lol.
Try contacting the developer and ask about it and just maybe they'll reveal a secret that'll change the vaping world forever[emoji33]

 

[Tmg666]

Lol I had thought that might be the lt but that wouldn't be probable since it doesn't occur with Any other batteries (tried 2 efests and 2 sony vtc4s) maybee find another icr and test that to see if it lets that one bypass the limit or not
