Is it safe to use mechanical mods - to subohm?

Hmm.

200 mods in four months = 1.67 mods per day
250 drippers in four months = 2 drippers per day

I'm thinking you're either exaggerating or you've opened a B&M store or . . . ?

Anyway, I'm surprised you didn't mention having a quality ohm meter. And if you're targeting 0.16Ω, I highly recommend a calibrated milliohm meter - not one of those cheap atomizer ohm meters. Check the specs. A tolerance of ±.02Ω at that level may be too much for the ideal specs of a given battery.

Hey you should try USA made paper clips to build your coils. Don't want to trust china with things your putting in your lungs. They are expensive about 59 cents a pop but since you own every legit mech mod known to man you can afford it.

funkfist.....

Good idea! Would you have a link to USA made paper clips?
Have you tried wrapping with them?
Any suggestions!

You obviously already know the answer to your question; that is why you practice safety with your own mech mods and coil building.

Of special note is that nowadays it is becoming less and less relevant to use mech mods for high powered vaping because there are more dual battery high powered regulated mods coming out.

And I doubt a "father" is vaping at 0.16ohms. That sounds more like a teenager that sits on the juice junkies FB group and goes to cloud comps all day.

And no shop will coil you up at 0.16ohms, no real shop anyways. So if you been vaping that low and you "just" learned how to build your own coils... Troll.

It's funny how we all know it's a troll, but we all still comment.. I guess everyone else's Tuesday is as boring as mind, lol.

You mean one like this:

Dual battery, unregulated, parallel. Hits hard, though I like my Hexohm a little better. It also dual battery, regulated and not parallel. The Skeleton Key next to it will blow them both away.

I did say regulated; and my comment was in relation to safety.

I use a Fluke 87V. I also have a really cool on with a gorilla on the front of it. As for exaggeration, I do not buy everyday, though I spent $18,000 on eBay in the month of October alone. (Check out eBay user ID Dlucas1958). As for more verification, contact the owner of Silver Wolf Customs and ask him about the collection of a guy named Bill in College Station, Texas (1.7022079082) or Aggieland Vapors at (979) 703-6817, or the largest Vape store in Hawaii, talk to the owner at 818-631-4946, or Tarsius Customs on Facebook. I don't BS folks. Some consider my collection the largest in the world.

Try it out for yourself 22awg Temco Kanthal wrapped around a 3/64th rod three times, dual coil sleeper build on a Tugboat RDA. If you want to go where I set my son up, use 24awg, on a jewelers screwdriver, 4 wrap, using a Patriot V2 or a Vulcan RDA and it will get you right about .22-.24 which is a nice place to vape Suicide Bunny Mothers Milk or Sucker Punch. I prefer Holy Grail Berry Confused and it needs to be hit right at .16-.17. Who you calling troll?

If you look at the pictures I posted, you should be able to pick out a Green Leaf 7, a Itazte SVG, A Cloupor T5 and a regulated Hexohm. The most dangerous mod I own is a regulated Cloupor T5 and a first run 4nine by Tarsius Customs. I would not recommend either one of those mods to anyone. As for safety, using common sense is what I would consider the best safety practice you can use regardless of unregulated or regulated.
 
Wow.

So you do realize, considering you have $20k+ in equipment, that .16 ohms on a mech mod puts you above 20A. And most batteries are only rated for 20A (those that are rated 35A+ are likely to be rewraps of 20A batteries).

Yes, I do. And I only go that low on 26650 mods and I don't sit and hit on them for very long. I don't buy rewraps. I switch out all of my batteries every 90 days. Here is just one stash I keep of them around the house. I have about twice as many at the office.

So after all of this, I believe you have a crap ton of mods and drippers. Congratulations. You've got good tools, a good way to check builds. Congratulations again. Apparently you have a huge stockpile of batteries, though that pic didn't open. Congratulations a third time.

What exactly was the question then?? Or were you just looking for bragginf rights. If so... you win.

Aside from that, how much have you spent having someone put builds in all of this stuff for you?
