Hi everyone

[Domba]

Hi everyone. I have interesting question, and sorry if my english is bad

I have smok Magneto 3 mehanical mod, and i attached Cloud beast King (tank) on it. Which i bought recently. Battery inside my magneto 3 currently is 18350 1500mAh 3.7V. I also have 18650 3200mAh 3.7V battery. So my question is. Does this tank fit on my mehanical mod because i'm not familiar with this? I tried to find the answer on the internet but i canot find it, and i'm afraid to use it cause something could go wrong and i could harm myself.

Howdy and welcome

The only thing important in the connection is the 510 screw connector. If both the atty and the mod has them everything fits. I notice your atty is a good bit wider than your mod, but that is only an aesthetic problem, and only if you think it is. I’ve seen people attach 30mm atomizers to cigalike battery’s as a joke. They look like gigantic baby rattles but they work just fine.

First, using a tank with drop in coils on a mech is a bad idea. The failure rate of drop in like Smok is relatively high, and a short on a mech is a very bad thing. Second, what kind of batteries are you using? 3.7V 1500 mAh doesn't mean anything. You need to know the CDR Amp rating, and an accurate one, not an inflated value printed on some rewrap batteries. That's vital to make informed safe mech use suggestions.

So what is yours suggestion? Which tank should i use on magneto 3, and which mod for this tank?

Hi and welcome,
What batteries are you using?
Brand/model? A photo may help as well.
What coil are you using in the smok topper?

Cheers

The small battery is from e-bay and i think its not very good.
Coil inside tank right now is pre-installed V12-T12 0.12Ω

Oh boy
Mech with Smok Tank
0.15 ohm coils (from what I can see online)
10A CDR battery (the 'good' one)

Please don't put batteries in that. Please don't push the button.

Here's the calculation on amp draw using that 'good' battery:

Edit: didn't see you wrote they were 0.12 ohm coils

 

[Izan]

The .12Ω coil will pull 33 amps from a fully charged 4.0V battery.

Please DO NOT use that tank/coil on an 18650 based mech.

I don't think the 18350 is of much use for anything but a flashlight. I would recycle it ASAP just so I wasn't tempted to try to use it.

In general, drop in coil tanks are not suggested to be used on mech mods.
The Smok tank is designed to be used on a regulated device.

I try to stay under 80% of the batteries amp limit when building/using a mech device.


Be safe

Thats what i'm looking for. Someone with knowledge about this
Thank you very much guys, and seriously do you have any recommendations what tank should i get for my mech and what mod for cloud beast king tank?

Where are you located?
What is your budget?
Are you vaping to quit smoking or are you a hobby vaper?

1) You need a double battery mod capable of 100W+ to use that tank properly.

2) Take that $20 garbage mech mod and throw it at someone you dislike (preferably whoever sold you it or told you it was a good idea to use it)

 

[Domba]

I'm from Croatia. I think that budget is not a big problem.
I wanna vape cause i'm trying to quit smoking.
I bought long time ago some cheap garbage e-cig which my sister broke and i threw it in the garbage..

Oh! now the hunt begins.
I am a bottom feeder (squonker) and do not use drop in coil tanks. As you progress, you may find re buildable devices more to your liking. But there is plenty of time for that later.

Start here: VV/VW APV Discussion
Many of us will suggest anything but SMOK, however you must make your own decisions.
I would suggest a dual 18650 based device if you plan to use that tank. (as pointed out by @dom qp )


How long did you smoke and how many per day?

I'm 27 now and i'm smoking since about my 16. I could say that i smoke a pack of cigarettes per day... :/

In your place, I would be looking for two devices/kits.
Back ups keep you from falling back to cigarettes.
Nicotine content in the 3mg/ml - 9mg/ml range should be enough to keep the nicotine monkey calm.
Do you have a vape store nearby you can visit?

Cheers

Yes I do. I'll try to infrom myself a little bit more and try to stick to these suggestions..
Thank you very much my guy

I agree that a clearomizer tank (like the SMOK) should not be used on a mechanical mod. The rationale is that drop in coils have a relatively high rate of shorted coils or dud coils which would be dangerous if used on a mech which has no protection circuitry. With mechs, the only tanks that should be used are RBA's (rebuildable atomizers), and you would need to learn how to make your own coils and wicks. That's pretty advanced territory for someone brand new to vaping.

I won't go so far as to suggest that a 18350 battery is useless for vaping, but considering that their smaller size means low amps and low mAh (battery specifications), you'd be much better off going with a larger battery like an 18650 and have more options concerning amp ratings and mah ratings.

As your first vape setup, I recommend you get a variable wattage regulated mod which will have electronic protection circuitry, probably one with two batteries to be able to use your SMOK tank. The coils it uses requires high wattage settings. I got to say that I am not a big fan of SMOK. I could go into more detail why, and what I would recommend instead.

Please humor me and explain why you all are not fans of SMOK and what do you recommend?

 

[AXIOM_1]

SMOK has NOTHING to do with it, but SAFETY does.

Some recommendations are in this link. Those are by no means the only mods or tanks recommended, just no SMOK. Good Starter Setups for a Beginner Vaper

SMOK has a longstanding reputation for questionable build quality and quality control. They excel in innovative style, marketing techniques, and widespread availability, but the quality of the product is questionable. You might be lucky and get something SMOK that works and lasts, but chances are equally good that you won't. I'm not alone with my bias against SMOK.
