    Ah yea make sense also as i understand some coils also heat up quicker you might have a coil that heats up and gives you a good hit at like 3.7 but for me with massive coil can take 5v to get the same typ of vape, i guess its about airflow too, but yea i mainly use watts just wanted to see what volts my sweetspot was and got little nervous since its 5v but i guess that doesnt even matter but thanks guys i think i kno enough for now, not gonna make the jump to mechs just yet tho but will eventually ,or mechs are bit outdated now?
    Dont see stores selling them much anymore or people using them is it cuz of safetey reasons?


    There are people that love the mechs and swear by them. The stores these days don't carry much at all, except pods and disposables. I guess they follow the money. There are just too few of us hard core vapers left. Although I have a couple of mechs in my stash for the end times, I generally stick with regulated mods. One advantage of mechs is they don't break down on you.

    Yea are mechs a bit outdated you think performance wise? Since regulated pretty much has no voltage drop as battery gets lower but i love the way they look tho and yea they last forever thats why im interested

    Yeah @The60WattGUY, there's been too many reports of folks turning mech tube mods into improvised pipe bombs from using too low a resistance coils and really underrated batteries/cells.
    Yea if i get a mech i will always use ohms law and stay within safe limits and keep my batteries perfect shape if you do this its still dangerous?

    Nothing is truly safe, period.

    But that way your as safe as you can be though.

    If you can still get a hold of one I can recommend the SkyRC MC3000 battery charger, not cheap by any means but it's one the best chargers on the market that allows you to setup profiles that don't stress batteries/cells.

    Alright make sense ha,
    I got one last question didnt want to create another thread since its coil related, i think im gonna order my first mech tomorrow a hellvape trishul v2 it has a chip thing that makes it somewhat safer it uses a 21700 battery ,it is a hybrid tho.. my question is what wire should i order with it?
    Or premade coils?
    Should i be aiming at single coil builds?
    I think its about mass was thinking nic 80 flat but its sold out =/ likeik everywhere here, what are some good choices? I like a good 60-100watt vape with good flavor ,oh they do have nic 80 flat 36g lol
    They have kanthel as well
    Or go with fused dual claptons like always?
    Excited to get into mechs! But i do want a coil that performs well tho
    Sorry for all my questions after i kno what to buy ill be set and leave you guys alone lol
    I hope dual coil build work well on a single 21700 battery on a mech if not i have to buy a single coil rda as well
    Seems like most say single but thats for 18650?
    But yea need some wire options that has mass i dont think regular 24-26g kanthal will be a good vape?

    Single coil is easier, all round. As you don't have to halve your resistance and wick two coils.

    Thunderhead Creations Blaze SOLO RDA looks good for a single coil one, I've got a few of their Tauren SOLO RDA's from a while back and they were and still are good.

    I also have a few Cthulhu Mods Mjölnir RDA's, they were and are great. And like most great things they ended up being discontinued.

    Can I ask where your roughly based @The60WattGUY , country only. As I can see what options you may have available for coils and or coiling wire.

    Yeah NP sorry late respond, im from the netherlands, rotterdam about 20min drive from amsterdam to be exact ha

    Edit: i think i seen tauren rda instock on one of the dutch webshops ill see if i can find it again since you said they are good...
    Also should i get the hellvape trishul v2 mech or just stay regulated and get te hell200 hellvape? That mod supports up to 12v crazy amounts of power but i like the looks of mechs more but not sure if mechs even have the performance im lookin for, not many people use them any more hmm but then i again i can grab 2 trishuls v2 if i wanted for the same price as 1 hell200 regulated mod

    Okay, had a look around for you @The60WattGUY and it seems E-Wolk actually has stock of complex wires and pre wound coils.

    I'm thinking something in Ni80 with 28AWG core wires, 2 or 3. As the heat capacity is going to be reasonably high then, so lots of vapor and heat.

    And yeah, Tauren SOLO is a decent single coil. Easy to build, is pretty airy, good flavour and pretty forgiving on a squonker.

    Shame that I can't find any more Cuthulu Mods Mjölnir RDA's, as they're pretty dammed awesome for flavour.

    If you go with the mech, it can't be said enough to do your research and learn how to,use it. Follow Ohm's Law every time. You will need a good coil reader to determine the resistance of your coils. The trishuls v2 come in both a mech and a semi-mech. Be sure to know which one you have ordered. I may be stating obvious facts, but better that than no warning at all.

    Yes im actually order my mech from that very same site! What coils should i order with it? Can you link me one premade pack and one pack of wire.
    i see wotofo aliens .22ohm these good? And wotofo competetion nic80 wire in 24g or 26g i see no 25g???

    Edit Oh the wotofo aliens .22 is 28gcore so prob no good? Hmm maybe you can link me good ones? Ill grab those along with it

    The one im ordering is full on hybrid mech yeah i will always check resistance and build safe for my batteries, also keep my batteries perfect shape and use protuding 510 attys,trust me im scared to even buy one not because of owms law but because theres simply no protection so i will be super careful, i could ditch the mech and get the hell200 mod instead regulated but i rly like the looks of mechs

    You could always invest in a Hammer of God, doubles up as a improvised blunt instrument in a pinch.

    Found the best idea, probably.


    A 6 in 1 pre-made coil kit, so you can find out what you like and works well for you.
    Hmm maybe ill grab those yeah i do have like 20coils laying here they are Dual Fused Claptons NIC 80 26g*2 + 40g .38ohm so .19 for dualcoil rda are these do able in mechs? Maybe ill start with the ones i have already cuz i noticed in that link most are fused clappies anyway

    Well, with those you should be able to get something safe to work with.

    But you may want to get coils built to your specifications in the future, I did come across somewhere over here in the UK that does that.

    But that's the only way to get really what you want.

    As heat capacity of a coil build can be a pain, too high for the airflow and it's like vaping superheated volcanic gasses.

    I also care about flavor does reg kanthal round wire even give good flavor? Its cheap maybe il grab a roll of 24g its only 2.99 lol for a spool
    Big difference between that and fused clap for flavor/vapor production?

    Flat wire is better, it's the surface area that makes it "interesting" in a good way.

    Complex coils have crevices that trap liquid, as well as they can have increased surface area especially when they're multi-core.

    And in no way do I think plain round wire is bad, it's just more useful for MTL and some RDL vaping. Unless you twist it with a drill to make home-made twisted wire, the simplest complex coil you can make.

    For flavour and vapour go for dual and tricore fused claptons over round wire.

    Regarding the mech:
    Get your coils sorted first in your RDA on a regulated mod. Find out what you like using and at what wattage you like using it at. Spend enough time with this stage so you know what build you'd want to use in the future, in a mech.

    If you're new to building coils, take your time. Most of the new regulated mods these day have a chip that fires near instantaneously. Slow firing mods were one of the reasons people prefered using a mech mod. Since that difference now is so slight, take your time.

    I'd definitely recommend starting a new thread when you want to start putting a build on a mech mod.

    Btw can you plz take a look at the spools here cuz they got some flat claptons in there too which one is best in the list here ? Vandy Vape Clapton Wire
