What CDR battery you need depends on the resistance range you intend to use.

what does that mean, resistance range

 

[Ohm Gnome]

Resistance is measured in ohms. Ω

i want from 0.1 to 1.5

Well, for starters, 0.1 isn't recommended on any battery. Especially in a mech mod. Seeing your answers to some of the easier questions, I would strongly recommend that you read up on some basics and battery safety. Click the link in my signature for a really good start.

Ummm, no you don't. There's no battery available which can safely be used at that resistance in a mechanical mod. (Anyone who advises you differently is either ignorant or doesn't have your safe interest at heart.)

The lowest you should build is 0.2 ohm for a genuine 30 amp battery, and 0.3 ohm for a genuine 20 amp battery. And that is placing a lot of faith into the accuracy of your ohm reader and without any safe headroom taken into consideration.

You truly need to do some research before using your new mech mod. You can't just start out using ANY battery or SUB-OHMING without first educating yourself. Start out with the following blogs:

​

In good conscience, start out with only a 1.0 ohm coil build until you have developed some skills and understand batteries/ohms/coil amp draw, etc. Get you some Sony VTC4, Samsung25R, or LG-HE2 batteries and an ohm reader.

Glad you are asking questions. Keep them coming...after you read the above.

0.1 ohms is too low for any battery in a mechanical mod. If you read the info in Baditude's links you'll have a much better understanding of how this stuff works.

And good on you for asking these questions before you try it
