First mech mod coming today! Stingray Clone. Advice on builds and usage, please.

[Cheflance]

Hello everybody. I made the switch, I am leaving behind the VV/VW's for my first mech mod and am pretty excited about it. After two SVD's having problems with circuitry, couple drops and I am not gentle with things, I ordered a Stingray clone.

Any advice on the builds for my attys with the new mod? I am using eFest 18650's - 2,000 mah and 3.7V. Want to make sure I stay safe with the resistance. A range not to go under or over?

I have an Aqua clone and a Kraken clone. I am using 30 gauge kanthal (what i have in the house right now) and organic cotton. I have both setups going for my iTaste but want to make sure I do things right for the Stingray. I do have some mesh that came with the hcigar Agua clone and there I have some 2.5 mm silica wick, also.

I am also loving the Boba's Bounty which is 100% VG and I like this better than the PG/VG's that I have tried. Although, the Caste Long from five pawns is darn good. But I have noticed that the Boba's seems to gum up the wick a lot faster than the others. Advice on wicking material? How to use?

Just putting this out to the collective knowledge of the ECF community. Y'all have been wonderful so far and have helped me a lot.

I'd suggest to build the microcoil around 1 ohm and cotton wick.

Find out the amperage of your batteries and do not build coils that exceed what the battery can discharge.

Better yet invest in some efest 35a or Sony VTC batteries

Looks like the Efest's I have are only 10A. So it looks like as long as I keep my resistance at 0.8 ohms or higher I should be alright. An online calculator calculated 4.625 A at 3.7V and 0.8ohms. I guess the worry would be anything below .5 ohms. Then I am doubling my Amps and getting close to the max for the battery. Fine by me - I'll keep it between .8-1.2 ohms until I get some new batteries.

Efest purples go up to 35A. Any recommendations on better batteries?

Unless you're going crazy low ohms, the AW IMR are pretty much the standard. If you are planning on going under .5 ohms, I would recommend the purple efest 35a, or the Sony 30a

Go lighter with your wicking if you're vaping Boba's or something similar.

sony vtc is a great battery with a 30A limit. the vtc5 has a 2600mah capacity

I hope your button is ok, I have an Hcigar Nemi clone and although it looks nice the button sucks. I tried magnets but it didn't make much difference. I like the Sony VCT5 batteries. You also may want to consider a KFL+, super flavor and easy build.
