Is it safe to use a Smoktech RDA with a Vision Spinner/eGo Passthrough?

[Iron Knuckle]

I just ordered a Smoktech RDA from mt.bakervapors and some replacement coil/wicks along with a few passthrough batteries to augment my Vision Spinner.

I also just read that the resistance for the stock coils are somewhere around 1.7 ohms. Is this okay to use on these little batteries or did I just flush that 10 bucks? (no big deal if I did, I'm getting a Vamo or some sort of APV in a few weeks probably)



I have a junky multimeter that works well enough, so I could make new coils if need be. But can I use this out of the box when it arrives without killing my batteries?

1.7 ohms is about the lowest nominal I would go on those batteries. The problem is there is a tolerance on it and you don't want to get under about 1.5.

I think this RDA uses silica, not SS mesh wicks. If this is true, I would use it on my Spinner or eGo's because the risk of a short is almost zero. I would not use SS wick on these batts, because if the battery protection failed and you had a short they could explode.

Hm, thanks for the info. I found out today the Spinner DOES have some sort of short detection and protection. I ordered some Kanger MT3 clearos and one wouldnt fire. The switch LED just blinked on and off as if I turned the device on or off, or if it was indicating a low battery. Sure enough my multimeter detected a short.

But yeah, the Octopus uses silica, I'm not ready to make stainless steel mesh wicks yet. I just wanted to know if the battery would be okay firing at 3.3v with the low resistance.

In both my baby octopus and igo l, I've been rocking sub ohms on my ego twist 1000mah and haven't noticed anything wrong happen, but I do use cotton wick and not ss

Holy cow. I wont go sub 1.5 on these but, that makes me feel better that I possibly could.
