AN OHM READER OR A REGULATED mod THAT READS OHMS IS A WISE THING TO HAVE. NEVER NEVER EVER PUT ON A MECH AN UNTESTED COIL.You don't have an ohm reader? Shame, shame. We don't guess at ohm ratings. That can get you into a world of trouble. Always measure your coil resistance before firing it on a mod.
It's brass. I swapped it out for this one.
the Stentorian RAM gives me the creeps. One spanish speaking reviewer, El Mono Vapeador was vaping on the review as the battery vented on cam. He did remove it on time!
I have never had any issues with it. I don't use it very often. It is a mechanical mod. Quite a simple one and it's made of wood. The Athena is the one that I shy away from. It is mechanical with a metal body and is notorious for arcing. I worry more about my Druga than the RAM. It arcs pretty big when it's fired but it's plastic. I had a Smok Magneto vent a battery once. The plastic threads on the plug that holds the upper magnet gave out allowing the spring to expand thus completing the circuit. It was sitting on the nigjtstand and by the time we noticed it it was too late. It sprayed the contents of the battery through the RDA. Gave me a healthy respect for batteries and mech mods, I used tube mechanicals for years and now I am much more comfortable with box mods. Tube mods are not very forgiving of mistakes at all. There are some people who aren't nearly as apprehensive as they should be.
Welcome and glad you joined.
3x26g Ni80 with an alien wrap of 34g Ni90, 3mm 6 wrap. A dual build can get down to a .075.
is take heed of what others have shared and go about building safely and confidently.Thank you. I definitely have. My first build was a single coil 3 core alien at .22. It helped to make me more comfortable with mechs. I have just recently got a parallel mech to accommodate the lower builds in some of my other attys and future builds. My next venture is to build my own high ohm coils for a series, so .4 or higher. I like hot, thick vapes lol. Any suggestions on a good exotic single coil build for a stack? Also. Don't like stainless at all.You’ve been provided with an excellent amount of information here, ultimately the choice is yours.

My
Voltage controlled paraseries....was definitely eyeballing one lol
These aren't voltage controlled, though. Paraseries mechs is what they are.
From my experience, big Aliens were not the best performers for how low the resistance was. Decent vapor production but sloooooow ramp up. I think you would get better performance from a regular 28×3/38 or 40 Fused Clapton or thinner gauge Aliens. The resistance would be higher and it would fire quicker and you would still get plenty of surface area and big vapor.
