Building for mechanical over regulated

[vlodato]

Hey everyone for the last year or 2 iv been rebuilding for regulated devices and I'm getting my first mechanical in a while. Fully mechanical duel 18650 parallel mod. Right now I'm using a bellus on a evic vtc min. Duel 26g micro coils .5 ohms @ 45w (4.8v). My question is how can I build to make this work like it does now on a mechanical that will only be at 3.8-4v most of the day. I have 32g,28g,26g,24g, claptons, .4 titanium. Can someone point me in the right direction before I trial and error 100 times.

Since you are running your vape at 4.8 volts, I'm guessing you like a warmer vape? Unfortunately for you, it's still going to some trail and error, but maybe this can help you find a ballpark.

With your current setup, if you just dropped your build's resistance a little, like to .4 or.35, by using less wraps but same 26 ga, and vaped it to your preferred setting, your voltage would be closer to 4.0. This would give you a similar vape to what it would on a mechanical with fresh batteries.

Playing with builds on a regulated setup will allow you to tailor your builds so when you have one set ideally on the regulated at the voltage you want, you can pop it onto the mechanical and it vapes the same.

So, the one answer to NOT using tons of trial and error is Steam Engine, or any of the other similar calculators. Get the app or pop up the site and just start poking around, try some numbers and play with some coil ideas, than come back with questions on heat flux and optimal wattage, and you'll be well on your way

I build a few bellus (beli?) and I like mine at around .28-.30. I use a single battery mechanical typically, so I use good batteries. I like a warmer vape, but admittedly the batteries only last a tank before the vape starts cooling off and I switch batts.

Be aware the bellus has an adjustable pin that will screw in over usage, so using it on a hybrid style (510 pinless) is a bad idea.

When building for Mechanical you have to mid to the happy medium.... You will NEVER get the type of performance from a mech you can get from a Regulated mod. This is because you are totally dependent on the voltage of the battery and the ohm rate of the coil. This mean at most a .5ohm coil will give you 35watts and every hit that will be reduce a little till you change the batteries. 3.7volts is 27w. Thats about 10watts of variation per battery charge. You might be able to build a coil that hits on you mech just like it does on the regulated mod. The difference being on the Reg mod that hit comes with every push of the button and on the mech it comes for only a few pushes per battery. Depending on your build that hit might be at 4.2volts or 3.7 volt or somewhere in between. I build coils that are nearing the edge of too hot with a fresh battery and but are still a good vape at 3.5-3.7volts. When working with Steam-engine, I use whatever wattage, 3.8volts, gives at a set OHM rate.
