eGo w/ RBA - Safe?

[reverser]

Thanks for reading and thank you in advance for any insight you might be able to provide.

I am curious as to the safety protection built into eGo batteries when used on an rba - specifically whether there is protection against drawing too much amperage from the battery.

I've just sent a friend home with a coil that was working fine for about 1 1/2 hours here that read about 1.1 - 1.2 on the ohmmeter and am wondering if it's a safety risk.

I know they sell LRs for these that I assume are 1.5, but is there going to be an issue with the eGo battery below that? Is there any protection built in against problems that could arise from this?

What I forgot to mention, is this means that any eGos that are NOT the twist variety...you basically should just kiss them goodbye if you plan on using them to test new coil builds. You will eventually fry the tiny, fragile circuitry and wiring inside of them, because they were just not built for the specific brand of abuse that genesis rba's dish out on batts...(un)protected, replaceable IMR batts are the cheaper and easier route.

This explains why not to.

Thanks for the reply. I set up the coil on a provari, so the shorting issues that he is referring to were all worked out prior to use on the eGo. What I need to know is if a known good non-shorting setup @ ~1.1ohms is ok for use on the eGo. He won't be building them on it.

If he has a standard Ego then its regulated at 3.4 volts. Apply ohms law here:
3.4 volts and 1.1 ohms - he'd be vaping at 10.5 watts and drawing 3.09 amps.

I think a standard Ego is limited to 2.2 amps. An Ego twist has a 3.0 amp limit. Running a 1.1 ohm coil on an Ego is pushing it beyond what it was designed for.

that poor little battery will be straining to keep up with that for sure, if its always driven at maximum output the life span of the battery will be pretty short.

as it is most vendors dont recommend below 1.5 on things like atty's and cartos because of this.

ego type batterys imo, is not intended for the use of genesis type atomizers.
