Battery/Mod question for sub ohm vaping

[ClutchMan]

Hi Guys. I was just wondering what is the safest batteries to use for sub ohm coils. I have a bunch of AW IMRs (1600 and 2000 mah) and a couple of AW Protected batteries (The big black flat top ones). The only mechanical mod I have right now is a Silver Bullet. Are the AWs the safest ones to use? Also, is the Silver bullet OK, or should I get another mechanical? I've been checking out the Empire clones and thinking about getting one of those as well. Thanks!

In a mech you'd want to use your AW IMR's, not the protected ones.

Also, especially just getting started with sub ohm coils, use some kind of safety fuse like the ShortStop.

If you want sub ohm performance but like the idea of playing it a little safer AND getting a better vape then read through the micro coil thread.. I'd take a 1.2ohm micro over a .8ohm "normal" coil any day.

find some higher amp batteries like the 30A Sony 18650. Fasttech has them for around $12.

All I use are AW 18350s and they seem to be fine with all my coils. (I dont usually go sub-ohm)

Thanks guys! I am pretty new to the rebuildable scene, so I just want to be as safe as possible while doing it.

I'd use the 1600mah Aw's you have. They have a higher max continuous discharge rate, which is much better for Sub Ohm vaping

What Icy said! Those 1600 are possibly the best batts for the cause. Folks can quibble and disagree, but those bats are a solid bet.

AW 1600 IMR's it is then! I have an Igo-L that I've been practicing on and I think I'm starting to get a little better at wrapping coils. I just ordered a couple of the Octopus RDA's (they look a lot easier since they have the holes in the posts). My biggest issue was wrapping the wire around the screw on the Igo-L. I have huge hands and bad eyes lol! Thanks for all the feedback. So what do you guys think about the Silver Bullet? I guess a mechanical mod is a mechanical mod any way you slice it, right? I just haven't seen anyone using one with a rebuildable yet.

Doesn't the Silver Bullet have a wire at the switch? What's the amp limit on that? Other than that, should make no difference.

yes the bullet is really an unprotected mod, not really mechanical

What about the bolt? I wanna get into sub-ohm vaping and the bolt is all I have. I'll need new batteries, I'll probably go for those green 30 amp sony ones.

I've seen vids on rebuilding the bolt cause the wire from the switch (or the switch) is so wimpy. Didn't watch them, cause . . ... don't have . . . . .
