get rid of the SMPL and go for a regulated mod.. ( ipv4 etc... ) the SMPL is a hybrid mod and is very picky about what atty goes on it... pretty much an advanced users mod... if you dont fully understand Ohms Law as of yet, regulated is the way to go untill you get some more knowledge on building coils and the mechanics of mod design...

be safe, not adventerous...

Get your money back for the SMPL and invest in a SAFER regulated device to use with the dripper.

Good luck

Agree 100%.

Newbies should NEVER START WITH A MECH MOD.

Mech mods are OK ifva Vaper is comfortable in building and has experience.

Gonna vote a strong "no" on whatever it is you're about to do until you do some more research.

First off, using dual coils halves the resistance. .37/2 = .18 ohms. This exceeds the amp limit of any 20A battery on the market. So right off the bat, no, that is not safe. Add to that, there's gonna be variations in the coil resistances because they're pre-built in a factory, likely with little to no quality control. If you have no way of measuring the coils before attaching them to your atomizer that's a problem in itself. Never attach coils with unknown resistances to an atomizer.

Secondly, the SMPL is a faux hybrid mod. The atomizer makes direct connection to the battery. This is a big "hazard zone" as it makes the possibility for a short way higher. Add to that, the SMPL has been proven to have inadequate venting capabilities, as it's essentially just a solid tube. I don't recommend the SMPL even to seasoned mech veterans.

Basically, everything about your setup is asking for trouble, and it's only exacerbated by your lack of knowledge.

Start here, and do some serious reading.
Thank you sir, I think you actually saved my life. I never thought theyre in high risk to explode . I canceled all the orders bought Evic VTC Mini, canceled 0.3 ohm wires and bought 0.8 ohm.
I appriciated your care and your long post.
I hope my last build is okay now. Thanks again.

So if one of these coils has a .37 resistance, on a single battery mechanical you'll be putting out around 47 watts with a single coil (under 12 amps), which is fine. With two of these coils you'll be running .185 resistance, which is pushing 95 watts, but that's around 22 amps. So the problem here could be your battery. 22 amps is quite a bit, so you'll definitely want one that can really push amps, like the vtc3 or hb series, because that's too much load for an efest or something subpar like that. I would suggest taking a look at the battery section for some recommendations. Should a battery vent under load you'll have some major problems on your end.
Thanks a lot I canceled SMPL :)

I live in country where E-cigarettes are illegal... Vape shops?
I hope you are not in Singapore.

If you are, it is unlikely your order will get through customs. Customs forwards all vape products to HSA for disposal.:(

If you are from SG check out this forum: SG Vapers. Make sure you read all the "stickies" as there are special rules you must follow when posting (in the SG forum) due to the sensitivity of vaping in SG.

You won't be able to ask where to buy hardware/juice in SG as your government monitors/reads ECF forum posts. It's all explained here => Newbies Q&A Thread. [PLEASE READ]
