Welcome to the world of vaping ! Talking about trail by fire lol.
You have a great mod and one of the better batteries on the market today. Mech Mods are mostly used with RTA's and RDA's rebuildable tank/drippers atties. You control the vape by changing the oms of the coil on your topper. The topper you have the Kanger Aerotank Giant really is designed for regulated Mods where you control vape with Watts choice to get the vape you want. As your limited too a few choices for coil heads so its hard to control the vape with a Mech mod. With that topper on a regulated Mod you can tune the watts down some if you want a softer hit or up some if you want a harder hit. Hope that make sense too you. If not feel free to pm or talk to your freind
It's not hard stuff but it is something you will need to learn. First thing is as long as your happy and getting a vape you like then your golden. If your finding the topper is a little weak at 1.8ohm. Then try a lower ohms coil head 1.2ohm. Again it harder to control your Vape with coil heads toppers on a Mech mod. Try a few different ohm rate coil heads. All that really matters is what works for you. Sure that a bit of a strange set-up but if it works thats all that matters.
Good luck ! Read and you will be fine you already know about dead shorts. The rest is easy. There is some great gear, almost to many choices out these days it really is a great time to be a vaper.
Enjoy.

I do have a volt ohm meter. Thanks for the tip. And also for the youtube tips. I'll have to check those guys out
Wow. Thanks for the info. You explained that perfectly. I do like the flavor production of the 1.8 coils. But thank you so much for the info.
When getting into Mech mods, this is a great read for people and Battery Safety: E-Cigarette Forum - Baditude - Blogs
1: obviously the 1.8 coil you got at the first shop was a good match for what you got but the 0.8 from the other shop was not.
as for why, we can't say unless we know the guage of the wires; plus there's some confusion in your description about dual coil.
When you get a 1.8 ohm dual coil, it is actually 2 3.6 ohm coils in parallel.
2: No. Lower resistance is not particularly better on a mech mod; it depends on the wire gauge.
A mech mod just means you can't adjust the voltage with the push of a button; instead you have to FIND the right coil for it.
A mech mod is the worst way to start off vaping nowadays, aside from the safety issues involved.
What you got is exactly the opposite what I would have recommended for a new vaper.
You got a clearomizer where you have to buy replacement coils, and a mech mod, which shows you no useful information when things go wrong (well it gives you the "ouch" effect but then it's too late).
I would have recommended an rda and a regulated mod; a small tank would be a sufficient sidekick, like one of the minitanks, for convenience.

Hahaha I got a mech mod with a tank. Apparently that's frowned uponYou didn't mess up... you were just misinformed.
It's just not a good way for a new vaper to start learning -- you only really learn something from a mech when it misbehaves, as yours did -- a regulated mod would give you some indication that something's not right, before you pressed the fire button -- and if there was a hard short, it simply wouldn't fire. The misadventure you had with yours could so easily have been 1000 times worse, with fire, bodily injury, etc.
Replaceable coils are kinda crappy because of the expense of the constant replacement -- many of us start with those, since very few know innately how to create a good atomizer coil, but most of us swiftly move on to building our own, for two reasons: expense, and quality -- a coil you build yourself is much better quality and more enduring that anything mass-produced in a factory, and nearly always provides a better vape -- you can fine-tune it to your own preferences. That fine-tuning is another reason why regulated mods are better until you're a dab hand at coil building; with a mech, the only customization possible is via the coil's specs, but with a regulated you just push a button or two to reach your desired vape.

Not at all ... Many have tanks on mechs, including myself. Only difference is theyre rebuildable tanks - the user makes their own coils and wicks. Yours isn't like that, you're replacing coils.
And warm welcomes to the forum RErick!
It's a good deal for the seller, not the buyer.
The tank is not bad; pretty standard, but I'd advise most new vapers to pick up a simple cheap rda as well if you want to learn fast and save money.
The salesman is glad to keep you coming back to buy replacement coils, eliquid and batteries, and between the three of them you end up paying as much maybe more than you spent on cigarettes.

Welcome to ECF Very glad to see you found us.
The reason your getting flack is there are some rather important safety basics that go along with that level of gear.
That wasn't your fault, it's the IDIOTS AT THE SHOPS who didn't make sure you knew what you need to know.
It would be nice if folks would keep that in mind instead of bashing the OP.
While your tank may not be "the latest and greatest fanboy approved" topper it vapes and it's a starting point to learn from.
Your battery is fine for the resistance you have, don't run it down much below 3.7v. In a mech you can feel the performance drops as your battery depletes so meter it while you get to know how the power vs quality of vape changes.
Ablonz hooked you up with the link to school yourself in the info they didn't give you at the shop. Read through it ask questions learn the safety stuff, then you can worry about getting a different topper.

Well... since you put it like that. It sounds like I made a mistake
Well it would be good to get a regulated mod; a popular starting device is the istick for example.
Low cost; plug in to charge; check ohms; check battery;
with a mech mod you're basically blind, which is fine after you're accustomed vaping anyway and know your way around
I happen to be using a mech right now actually, a ph22, because I'm working on fixing my zmax; I've got a few mechs for backup.
Low cost? All the regulated ones I saw were like 100 bucks. They weren't plug in though. They used 18650 batteries
Youll find that many B&M vape shops price many items 2-3x what it cost buying on internet, eBay, or from China. The plug he was refering to for regulated mods is a mini-usb phone charger type plug, a feature on some variables, even those with 18650 removable batteries. It's called 'pass-thru' when one can vape while it's charging on the usb .... Some have this feature.
Oh no, the affordable regulated devices are like $40; look for an istick; I'm not sure what the new mvp3 is or if it's even out yet.
They are batteries with electronics built around them; you can't change out the battery; but for what you get it's just what a new vaper needs, because they can use that for 3 months to a year and not have to worry about power, so they can focus more on the real business end of things - the atomizer and the eliquid.
A great site to compare stuff is fasttech. lots of stuff, with descriptions, specs, reviews by people who bought the specitic items/products, lots of pics; they're in china and the prices are low by comparison, but the prices do give a great indication of what one thing might cost compared to another;
