Few questions about the k100 please

[Timboo]

Is this battery ok to use with the k100?
When using a mechanical mod do you have to go higher on the ohms as you have no control over the voltage? What I mean is with my Vamo you can change the voltage till you get that sweet spot and the Vamo keeps it at that voltage. Where as say a k100 will put out what ever voltage the battery has in it. I hope this does not sound dumb but it's been bugging me!

That battery will work fine with most vaping needs if your going sub ohm I'd get an AW IMR. With a fresh battery you will be at about 3.8 volts to the atty and be setting at around 3.4 most of the time. A 1.5 Dripping atomizer will work great with that set up. If your thinking rebuildables it's all trial and error until you find what you like. 32AWG (.20mm) at 2 ohms is a lot cooler that 28AWG (.32mm) at .5 ohms.

Ok that's great. I will be using it mainly for dipping. I shall get a aw imr.

Does the k100 take flat tops and nippled batteries?

Is there really a need to have a tankometer when iv got the Vamo that shows you what voltage is left? Unless the Vamo does not take aw imr's?

It's a telescope use whatever size you like. I use my Vamo as a volt,ohm meter when it's not in the car but, most of the time I just use the multimeter. I think AW IMR's are button tops.

I am a also a newbie, and yes you can use that battery, you can use either one of those, the 18650, or 2 18350s stacked end to end, I think. The reason why people go for the mechanical mods is so they can use certain atomizers that your vamo might not permit you to use. Say, a dual-coil atty whose Ohms go below 1.0 Ohms that you cannot get to fire on a mod like the vamo or other mod, you can use this type of atty on your K-100. You are expected to be a more experienced vaper if you are using mods, and know what you are doing. I say this again, as a newbie, I advise you to learn about the batteries (that's what I am currently studying myself), and know what is safe and what isn't safe when it comes to using this equipment. These forums are a good place to find very helpful information. I try to keep my gear working within the green zone on this table:
Safe Vaping Power | Voltage | Resistance | Ohm Chart
if your vamo has the abitlity to give you a resistance reading on your atty, then use either that or a multi-meter to know what resistance your atty is reading. If you use a multi-meter, you can just set the multi-meter to read resistance (mine shows an Ohm symbol on that setting), and then put the pins of the multi-meter to both sides of the coil on your atty to get a reading. I find that chart to be very helpful, and I like to keep my gear, personally, functioning on the edge nearer to the yellow portion of that table. My guess is that people want more battery life from their gear, so they like to push the ohms lower, but I have no idea. It's all a matter of personal preference and experimentation for me. Hopefully someone else will answer your questions better than me, because I am a bit curious myself.

The best/ safest batt to use on a Mech Mod is a safe chemistry batt which is what's in your pic (Efest). Next, in terms of safety, is a protected batt. EFest batts rank very high in regards to quality.
With a Mech Mod the battery comes off at 4.2 volts BUT mainly fires at 3.7 volts. Once it drops below 3.7 volts you'll notice the weakened vape and it's time to change batts.
With Mech Mod batts there are 2 things you don't want to do- overcharge the batts or drain them completely.

The K100 works fine with both flat and button top batteries, 18350, 18490 and 18650. I use the same battery you have in a K100, using 1.8 ohm clearos. Good luck!

Thank you for the chart. Will be very use full. I did notice that it does not go any lower than 1.2 ohms. Unless I have miss read it. I would not exactly say i am an experienced vaper but I have been doing a hell of a lot of reading and asking any questions that I still have not understood. Not only that but I do not even own a K100, well I do but its in the post from china so will be a while. This is why I said I will keep doing my home work for the next three weeks till it comes. The main reason why I wanted to get a mech mod was to play around with the sub ohms and dual coils. Plus it looks a lot better than a Vamo in my opinion anyway.

Ok so the battery fires constantly at around 3.7 volts untill it suddenly drops? Sorry, just want to double check.

What do you mean by over charge? How is that possible when my charger automatically stops when charged and has a green light?

So to go lower then say 1.2 ohms I have to get an AW IMR?

My k101 keeps firing after I let go of the button. Da heck does it do that for?
