First RDA???

[J.R..]

I've been using a cheap gas station ego for the past few weeks and just finally bit the bullet and ordered myself my first mechanical mod. I ordered a nemesis mod, two 18350 battery's, a charger, and the 3D dripper (Dimi's Dream Dripper). So my question is - Is this a good set up for a first time rda? I wasn't sure what to order and liked the concept of the auto dripper. Do you think this set up will work or should i order up sumthin else to go with it?

Thank you for your time and advice. Anything is appreciated.

hate to say it but you don't want those batteries. with a mech and a dripper i would only use IMR batteries. sony vct series are best and safest . that is the one place i would not buy cheap or anything with the word FIRE in the name. check the blogs on battery safety before proceeding. best of luck.

Agreed, there are a few reputable batteries out there right now. VCT5, new LG 30/35a, Panasonic 18650PF.

Would a fuse mitigate the hazard of theses batteries? Or would canceling the order before the batteries ship be the best way to go?

Im not personally know about the fuse thing, but with the cheap batteries, not only is there a lack of safety, but they don't last as long either. I've ben thru 2 cheap batteries in my first month of serious vaping, just got two nice batteries, and it was the best decision I've made.. highly suggest canceling the order.

Cancel. Good safe batteries are not that expensive.

 

[J.R..]

Thank you all for the info on the batteries. I canceled the batterie order.

Does anybody have any thoughts or experience with the 3D auto dripper.

if you have the option i would leave out the batteries. i just bought sony vct5's here https://www.illuminationsupply.com/ and am very happy. if you buy a pair they even send you the little plastic case for them. i would also get a good charger for them like this http://www.nitecore.com/productDetail.aspx?id=52 i use the 4 bay model and am very pleased so far. again this is one area you don't want to skimp on. of course doing your own builds you will need a way to check for shorts and resistance. i use one of these Cartomizer and Atomizer Ohm Meter then watch about a million youtube video's on rebuilding and you should be good to go. good luck.

If you keep your resistance at 0.8ohm and up, 18490/18500 AW IMR batts work just fine. Just keep a spare on you

 

[J.R..]

Thank you, I'll check out that site for the batteries. The Nitecore I2 is the charger i already have on order. I have a Fluke meter out in the tool box ill have to use for now, maybe later I'll get one of them fancy ohm meters you can just screw the atomizer on to.

I was planing on playing around with builds in the 1 - 2 ohm range, and see how well they work.
