Help with my mech?!

[Faid]

I just got my nemesis clone couple days ago. Been loving the vape on that thing. Have the kayfun 3.1 with 1 ohm coil.

Now i have a question. My first 30 min. on a fully charge Efest 2500Mah 30A is very good after that its seems like its not getting hot enough.

1) go to a .8 ohm coil
2) Get new Batt
3) Leave mech mod cause thats the way they are

Love the mech look, but miss the constant power of a sigelei 30W

Please help a lost vaper

Different batteries will hold the 3.7-3.9v charge longer than others. One example is the AW 18650 1600 mah 24a.
Battery test-review 18650 curves low

If you run your numbers through an ohm's law calculator you will see why you are not getting the power you want. Since your voltage is capped at 4.2v your performance will continue to decrease the longer you vape.

With your builds you are better off using your Sigelei 30W.

What i do is i have 5 sony VTC5's. 4 of them always on the nitecore 4-slot charger, one in the mod. I switch batteries every 15 min during heavy vaping and this way you keep them at full capacity

Otherwise a regulated mod would be the way to go.

Susan is correct. With that type of build you will get good flavor, but the heat won't be there. If you want some more heat here's what I recommend and the exact builds I use to go from mechs to DNA30 and have good luck with.

Get some 28g and look up twisted 28. Do 8 wraps around 5/64 bit, this should give you around .8ohm.
Get some 29g and do 8 wraps around 5/64 bit, this should give you around 1ohm.

This twisted wire will behave differently the a single wire. These are two builds I use 90% of the time in my KFL+ attys and it works great on mechs and vv/vw devices.

Remember to build safely and you use an ohm meter.

Just an FYI, not good to leave batteries on the charger all the time. The nitecore I4 doesn't have thermal monitoring and if the charger or batteries get too hot, something goes boom, or worse. The new Nitecore D4 does have charger and battery thermal monitoring, but I still wouldn't leave batteries unattended.

once IMR batteries are charged, it takes weeks for them to drop voltage due to none useage and that drop is usually only .1v.

Thanks for all the advice. Will look in to batt and a different build.
