Got my first mech mod!

[Tigeercat]

A friend of mine hooked me up real good with a nice mech mod.

Dark Side Able by Avid Lyfe

So far I'm loving it!
He gave me a drop dead rda also, now just gotta wait for my apocalypse Copper rda to arrive and it'll be matchy matchy

Very nice. What resistance coils and what battery are you using?

Samsung 20S with .18ohm alien coils
The dude who's getting me the apocalypse rda is getting me some .15ohm coils for me tho!

You are within your amp budget for that cell with both those resistances, assuming that's the combined resistance of both coils.

I'm not sure what your experience level is, so here's some articles to read -

Yup it's the resistance of dual coils I checked on steam engine to make sure I was in the safe zone hehe. I also have friends who I can message to make sure I'm doing things properly too!

I've only used regulated mods since I started vaping but always have used rebuildables

Thanks for the links I'll check them out ps I found that the 20s was hardest hitting battery from mooches charts

Check your resistances on something with an ohm meter. Early and often. Visibly check your coils often as well. I was as exuberant as you to get my first mech, but please, respect it too.

Yeah I've checked the ohms on a regulated device(actually 2) over the span of the 2 hours I've had my mech running
I am being v careful, I take the battery out every 5 or so minutes to check it's not getting too hot, and fired my rda on a regulated mod before it went near the mech to make sure no shorts

I know, it's quite the interesting challenge learning it in a translated Russian manual for Arctic fox too.

Two is better than one in this case. Congrats! I hope it delivers many a decade of vaping pleasure for you.

Haha thank you! I'm v excited about having it(but not too excited I won't be safe)
Lots of my friends were like I use .1 ohm coils with those batteries fine and I said no ty lol like yeah sure it /might be okay on short bursts but I'm not gonna do it

Cloud comp types have 10,000$ ohm readers, can measure the DC internal resistance of there batteries, and I'd be willing to place a gentleman's wager that most of them treat their batteries as disposable. I'm not familiar with that particular tube, but is it 21700 compatible? Based on the proportion in the pic to the drop dead, it looks like it might be... If your interested, 18650batterystore.com has the p42a's on sale right now...

$10000 ohm reader?!! What the hell that is insane
Nope it only takes 18650 batteries, it's quite a small tube

That's a figure I've heard tossed around, and I'm willing to believe it. Testing mOhm isn't easy...

Nice setup, man. Congrats!

"That better be a mech mod you're holding."

I have a few readers and the most mine go down to is the 1/1000 digit.

Reading down to the 10,000 that's insane ?
