Look folks. I'm not sure there is a "perfectly safe e-cig".
To imply otherwise is a bit dangerous. Coils short. Dead short. More frequently than even Murphy would admit.
You can quote Ohm's law all ya want and debate amps and volts...BUuuuuuuT there have been battery issues with mechs (the most famous one is when someone blew his teeth out with stacked ?LiPo? batteries) and there have been fires and issues with stock stuff like eGo type units.
Stuck buttons, fried circuits, faulty batteries, atty shorts.
Read ECF's suggested guidelines. Here's one of Roly's posts about batteries:

Yep... that's why I order my batteries from reputable sources... There are plenty of places that'll try to slip you a counterfeit battery... for instance, NEVER, EVER buy a 'cheap' AW branded battery.. there is no such thing. I read about one instance where a 2000 mah AW 18650 IMR was actually a higher capacity non-IMR, possibly not protected, that seemed to have been ripped out of a multi-cell battery pack. That is a very dangerous combination. And that Vision Spinner might just be a generic ego with a POS battery jammed in there.
So I personally never go bargain hunting for batteries.
But, even the best batteries do fail. But the incident rate of failures that were not caused by misuse, like stacking batteries in a mech, or throwing a loose battery in your pocket with your keys, etc... it is pretty rare. After all, most all of use have the same chemistry batteries in our cell phones, our tablets and our laptops, and we often take them for granted.
I'd even chance a guess that the vaping community probably sees far fewer failures, and fewer catastrophic failures (i.e. risk of fiery death) since we tend to be a little bit more attuned to our batteries and their use....
I wonder what vaping at 50 watts would be like. I bet you would have to take tiny super short draws
Electrocution isn't the problem, this is.
I just don't care for the idea of burning stuff landing on me.
I usually stay between 5.5w - 9w depending on the juice and tank I'm using.

This is good advice. I once stacked like, a gillion batteries together. I was vaping at 1.21 gigawatts and ended up back in the 60's and meet my parents. My mom started hitting on me coz she didn't know it was me but man oh man, that was some creepy shyte.
Actually untrue as far as battery draw. You will probably be using a boost converter to do that, and that means the batteries will see the same or more draw as the equivalent wattage on a mech. And that draw will actually increase as the battery fades, on a mech the draw and wattage reduce.
Most of the problems with egos are with the chargers. And about that borderline racist statement -- AW batteries are also made in China by an unknown manufacturer.
You are not getting that voltage out of a vamo.
It depends almost entirely on the atomizer build. Case in point, I take much larger, longer, deeper draws on my high volume atomizers at 20w than I do on any of my "regular" atomizers at 10w.
Nu uu AW makes AW silly the sticker says so besides anybody who has made root beer for like a 100 years has my trust!
Rob, it is you that doesn't understand the question. He didn't ask what voltage and individual person can tolerate. He asked what the highest voltage any person can use to vape. This question came because he had a thread deleted due to the fact he was asking questions about doing something unsafe.
My bad...you are absolutely correct! I just get really frustrated when someone asks an innocent question and all the rambling begins. I have never seen such rambling before and the many Forums I belong to. Thank you for pointing this out to me.
OK, so first we're idiots and now we just ramble. Well, it's an upgrade. Hey, here's a section for ya:

Have fun. Welcome to the forum!
Why do you say that? It may or may not be obvious but I am still a "noob". By doing the math, doesnt voltage*ohms=watts? By that equation I conclude that figuring volts would look like watts÷ohms=volts.
15watts÷1.6ohms=9.375volts

The vamo module is not capable of supplying that voltage but also you have ohm's law incorrect.
Ohm's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RMS, probably. I was hanging around 5-6, adjusting as batt voltage went down, until I switched from NO1 to NO2. Hold down the top-left button for about 10 seconds until it says NO2, you'll be setting wattage "higher" but it'll produce a much more stable vape, at least, it does for me, I stick at 8 watts from 4.2v to 3.4v when the battery craps out
Pssst....(Volts x AMPS = watts....)
So does voltage squared divided by ohms (V2 /R)
