First build help!

[Dvapes]

Hello everyone!

I just got the avocado 24 to save money on coils. I just fished up a build & wanted to make sure it was safe for my setup. I did a 7 wrap twisted 24 gauge kanthal build. im running 40 watts. I have a cuboid 150w with Samsung inr 25r battery's. The coil came out to .45 ohms. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also what wattage would be recommended for my build? I felt like 40 watts would not give me the max performance.

It's a regulated mod, it has safety measures built in and if it's too low the mod won't fire it.

With that said, Steam Engine is you best friend along side a good Ohm Meter

On a regulated mod the coil resistance is essentially irrelevant, the mod will supply the power you dial in regardless. There is no set wattage, only the one that makes you happy. Start low and work up until happiness is achieved. The maximum amount of power you can put into a coil is an interplay between the mass and the surface area of the coil, coil position and airflow, and juice viscosity.

There is no right or wrong with wattages. Dial it in for your preferences. If you feel 40w isn't enough, then increase it.

Depends on the amp rating of the batteries 20-amp batteries (like the 25r) are good up to about 60w per battery.

the joyetech board wont push the batteries beyond what's safe

The mod can't know the amp rating of the battery it's fully possible to stress batteries too much in a regulated mod. Use 5 amp batteries in a 200w mod at full power and the batteries will fail.

absolutely 100% correct.
in my experience with joy-e boards, it switches to power mode at 20 watts and throws a weak battery error when it cant safely pull what it needs

It shows the weak battery error due to the voltage drop under load. However, it's still possible to overload the batteries. It's not a safety feature per se, at least in the way you're thinking. The mod simply has a low voltage cutoff and the battery sag brings the batteries to that limit. The mod shouldn't lower the wattage other than when kicking you out of tc mode due to a non-tc coil or unstable build, and then it defaults to 20w in order to not burn the wick.

i stand corrected, thank you for setting me straight >=)
