hi guys

Hello everyone. My name is Chris. Glad to join the vaping community. New user but long time lurker.

Got a quick question if you guys don't mind. I plan on getting the apollo clone mod from vape demand and was wondering if Sony 18650 vtc4 (from rtd vape yes I've done my research would be a good fit for that mod being a flat top and all.

Any response would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Chris

Hi chris and welcome, i dont own an apollo how ever it should fit both button top and flat top

Thanks for the reply Dextrose. I was actually wondering if it would be good to run .15 to .2 ohms on that setup. I'm sorry I didn't include that in my original post.

I don't have that mod but perhaps someone will come along shortly that does. In the mean time, welcome to ECF and enjoy your stay here.

I got few more questions but I figured I'd get one out of the way first. I've been doing a lot of research lately cause I want to be certain that I'm being safe. I've read good reviews on the apollo clone mod and wanting to go that low on ohms I want to make sure I'll be good with that battery.

I want to add a fuse too but that's my next question.

Hey guys I hate to be the buttmunch to bump this but I really need your help on this. I've looked all over the Web and I gotta be certain about this.

I want to run .15 to .2 ohms in this apollo clone mod. It's my first mech mod so I want to be safe. Do you think Sony 18650 vtc4 is a good choice to run 20 to 22 gauge coils to achieve those ohms? And most of all - safe?

Hello and welcome to the forum Chris. Glad to have you here!

If you are new to mech mods and rebuildables I highly recommend you spend some time with Baditude (one of our resident battery experts) and visit his blogs. You are now 100% in control of your own safety (and others around you). Make sure you purchase an ohm reader and a voltmeter or DMM so you can measure your builds, check for shorts and measure the remaining charge on your batteries.

Baditudes Blogs. The blogs regarding mods and rebuildables are listed below:
