Hello Everybody!

[imabuddha]

Only an occasional cigar smoker, (mostly in the past), but on a recent trip to California I picked up an MVP and an assortment of liquids. I'm enjoying it a lot, so I've also placed a few orders here & there for a mechanical mod, rebuilding supplies, etc.

Welcome I see your an all in kind of person. I LIKE THAT
Have you done some reading up yet on Mech mods and rebuilding. There is a wealth of information here on the forums anything you don't understand, there is always someone who can help or you can hit youtube for an eyes on look. That said if you haven't done any research I urge you to look at the battery aspects when using vaping devices, especially as they pertain to Mech mods. vaping is a blast, safe vaping even more so. Good luck with your new hobby its a blast for sure.

Welcome to ECF!

Yeah - mechs and rebuildable coils are generally cool - but not for the feint of heart. As stated, read up on stuff before running into making coils on a mech mod - it's a risky business if you don't know the ins and outs of it.

Be safe...

But good luck, and happy vaping

Thanks for the welcome! I've been reading up on mech mods, batteries, etc. here & around the 'net. I'm also into r/c models so I have some experience with safe lithium battery handling.

I ordered sony TC3 & TC4 18650 batteries (the TC4s were OOS when I placed the first order), and also a couple of efest IMR 18350s, which are reported to be good choices. I know that when using the 18350s I'll need to keep the coil resistance > 0.8Ω.

I appreciate the warning & know that li-ion batteries are dangerous if handled/used incorrectly. I've got a good DMM & a fair bit of electronics experience, and I'll be taking it slow & easy.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm very impressed with the mvp, the battery lasts sooooo loooong.

I'm already thinking about getting one of the hana modz clones for when 11 watts is no longer enough…

 

[imabuddha]

Thanks, it seems I've found the right place to hand out & vape.

Yep, tons of info here, it'll take quite a while just to go through the bits I'm interested in.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
