Dripping (Want to start)

[wrice4]

The manager at my local vape shop has 2 mech mods for sale, that he recommends. The first one is the v3tronix flip and the other one is some kinda of stella or something like that.

If you are looking for a mech starter kit that you can cloud chase with, these are the best deals around that I have seen.

that is a good state-side deal!

Thank you to everyone for the responses. I am the type of person that does tons of research before buying and I am all about safety. I am not jumping into anything, just asking questions and I appreciate everyone answers. So the main difference in a "dripping mod" and my VTR is wattage and being able to sub ohm?

Actually you can subohm on the VTR to a degree , it will fire down to .8ohms with no problem , but I wouldn't recommend pushing it to the limits like that , the 5amp limit on the device allows it but I don't know how long the chip and wiring will hold up like that .

I bought a:
v3tronix flip
efest 2500mah imr 18650 high drain 35a discharge battery
tobh atty atomizer
and the manager custom built me a dual twisted coil sub ohm at .38 ohms. This thing hits harddddd

I have read that the Efest are 35amp PULSE not continuous. Efest 35A Vs VTC5?.

Good read, thanks.

Im going to order a couple VTC5s.

Edit: Seems like I can not find any in stock, from a reputable vendor. I am not going to take a chance with a clone from ebay/amazon, or anywhere else that I am not familiar with. I know the Efest is pulse, so 20a continuous, so I will just use this 1 battery, until the reputable guys have some more in stock.

If I understand the calculation correct. Its Voltage / ohm = amps . So a fully charged 3.7V 18650 is 4.2V. I have a .38 ohm build on my v3tronix flip. Then I am pushing (4.2/.38) = 11.0526Amps (continuous with a hit).

So this Efest 35A (which is really 20A continuous and 35a pulse) would be more than enough for me? Meaning, I am no where near (11a) the limitation of the battery (20a). Am I thinking this through correctly? If so, I will just go pick up another Efest from my local vape shop, since I can not find a reputable dealer that has the VTC5 in stock, and I wouldn't have to wait/waste money on shipping.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Opinion?

I'm glad that you found a setup that you're happy with.

Just so you know, I purchased an inexpensive single coil RDA with adjustable airflow for less than $10 (SMOKTech UDA). I wanted to taste new/steeping juices easily with full flavor. I've tried multiple builds but find that the UDA vapes great between .8 & 1.2 Ohms. All this on my VTR at 15 watts throughout. The VTR WILL fire a full 15 watts as low as .6 Ohms but that's it's extreme and I don't want to push it that hard. It IS a 5amp device. The UDA is a 14mm RDA and sits beautifully on the VTR or an eGo battery (at >1.5 Ohms) for that matter. I've settled on a .9 - 1 ohm build with 28g twisted-Kanthal & cotton. It vapes great between 12 & 15 watts.

While not a "cloud-chasing" setup, in Rip Trippers words, it can chuck clouds pretty well. I think it's the build and the UDA's adjustable airflow. While not a quad-coil Helios setup, even the youngsters at the local B&M were impressed with what it could do when I was tasting some juices.

Just my experience... You CAN drip with darned good flavor, throat hit (TH) and vapor on a TRUE 15 watts. If one could care less about chasing clouds, a good 510 bridgeless atomizer does the trick quite nicely.

Cheers & happy vaping!

My favorite setup is the TOBH RDA with the Penny mod - I still prefer 50/50 liquids even though these things are capable of ridiculous cloud growth.

Oh and as far as coil setup I do a dual wrap with 24g wire (this required drilling out the 3 posts..

NOTE: this is a dual wrap coil - 1 on each side.

wrice4,


You are correct... .38 Ohms at 4.2 volts is 11 amps & 46 watts. The 20amp continuous output of your EFests should be sufficient.

For future reference, use the Steam Engine calculators here: Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

Have fun and vape safe...

You won't blow huge clouds from dripping with the VTR. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have sub ohm capabilities.
