Thanks for the warm welcomes
, and for the advice drummel.. I do know duals half the ohms, though it will take a bit of getting used to dialing in exactly what I want, was so happy when my 2nd build (1st went to hell) came in at 0.4 ohms hehe, close enough to the 0.5 I was expecting I had to give myself a pat on the back
. I might add an extra turn on both sides of the 26guage I used for these coils in hopes of getting it closer to 0.5 / 0.6 + though, at ~40w (if bat is at 4v) 0.4ohm dual is a bit much for my tastes on mechanical
, had to be tried though.
Battery safety.. I am trying not to be too silly (famous last words hehe), I have been using 2 sony vtc5s I bought for my mech since they weren't a whole lot more expensive than the competition and people generally seem to recommend them. I also have a cool (imho
) wee usb nitecore charger I bought for my subbox to try and get me away from vaping while charging. I don't plan on going down to 0.2 or trying to test the limits or anything, just figured the higher amp rating on bat the safer I might be, and maybe get a few more puffs.
One thing I am sorely missing is a proper ohm checker, the subbox is the only thing I have capable of testing / reading coils under an ohm just now and I know cheap mods can be shockingly bad sometimes for a decent reading (maybe not so much off, but rounding to 1 decimal place isn't ideal for my ocd brain). I just haven't really seen one locally that I haven't already seen on fasttech etc and discounted, or worse more expensive ones that don't even have short protection.. don't they realise people might be relying on those to tell if a build is ok on mech!?. I fear I may have to add my name to the ever growing waiting list for a coil master 521 tab
At least with subbox mini I think it's limits are pretty much similar to what a vtc5 would get on its own ? e.g. as long as a build works on that without tripping protection I might be ok. Or should I really stop and wait for a decent ohm reader hehe.
Edit: The part that has me worried is I have my eye on buying a couple purple efest 18500 15a batteries for this mod, will have to get the ohms up a bit for those
Edit2: hah, looking at the
thread here about how efest embelishes the truth a bit with their amp rating on purple batteries, I may have to up the ohms quite a bit, lol. Is there a better brand for 500 length ?, efest seemed to be the only high discharge option the place I grabbed my vtc4s and vtc5s from.
