Cloud Chasing setup help

[SmokingAStogie]

Seriously?
In the 3rd post in this thread I listed 4 reliable trustworthy reputable vendors.

I meant for the orbtronics SX30 batteries. Sorry for not taking a closer look if it is there or not. I am still very new to all of this. I've only been getting into cloud chasing/VV/VW devices for the past month and before that i was using those eGo batteries that connect to a wall carger.

You should

you need to be a little more serious specially running at .2 ohms? You over discharge one of those nonames at 50 amps you wont be here asking anymore questions you really do need to understand what your doing to these batteries with that build

Not being a jerk ,trying to keep you safe

I'm dead serious(excuse the pun). Thats why i'm willing to dish out as much money as i have too to stay safe and get the results i'm looking for.

10-15 for a battery is a hell of a better deal then losing some fingers or even my face!

Yeah so i heard. I did say i was 85% sure they weren't legit VTC5s. I bought mines on Ebay and the posting called them "replacement VTC5s".

"Replacement vtc 5s = fake

If you are building down to .21 ohms and lower you'll need to use a VTC4 or other 30cdr batteries that these kind people here have mentioned. At .22 ohms you're drawing 19 amps on a freshly charged 4.2 volt batt. What I do and recommend is to remember that a 25R should only go down to .25 ohms. 25 and 25. On a fresh charge, a 25R at .25 ohms generates 16 amps. This leaves plenty of overhead and is safe.

Do you have any reliable sellers that have a good deal on those batteries? I'll def look into those for my IPV3

Straight from the source. Orbtronic dot com. They are also a reputable dealer of samsung, lg, etc.

Yeah i like to go with something thats 30A just so i can have a range of ohms i can build my coils at.

Now i'm debating either Orbtronic SX30s or VTC4s for my IPV. Looks like they are both the same, 30A CDR, 2100 mah except VTC4s are cheaper.

Toss a coin, both are 2100mah 30a CDR batteries, if you order the Orb sx30's be sure to get flat top, I doubt button top will fit in the IPV.

BamaKingSnake, Ahhhh so it probably is my batteries? My coils may be a bit off too. I'm at 24G kanthal with 7-8 wraps(i have pre-made coils that are 5-8 wraps also) but its wrapped at 2mm(Maybe smaller-1.4mm).

Next time you build a coil try lining it up in the center beside the air slot cut into the build deck. Yes it's a huge PITA, but where you have them now is barely in the airflow channel. Also try experimenting with moving the coils up/down, and try less wicking.

What wick material are you using now?

If your juice is 80% VG, you should get nice vapor production (clouds).

 

[Darryl Licht]

And just where did you manage to find VTC5s?????? There haven't been any REAL VTC5s on the market for almost a year!

illumn.com has them back in stock!

Yeah i was told by Foggyroomz i should center my builds and to not put the wicks under the coils but more to the side a bit.
As of right now i'm using just regular cotton and i don't think its ideal.

I don't think so. It says VTC5s are out of stock but VTC4s are available.

Nope, no vtc5's - out of stock ---> Batteries, Chargers, and PowerPax Carriers
