is this safe? new to mech mods

Got a AMOD clone from taobao, with spring loaded button. It's very nice... Lol

Personally, my limit is 0.09 for single cell mechs with a samsung 25r. I'm now running 0.12, but I just mean that I theoretically would not go under 0.09, and have only run a 0.09 shortly one time, but rebuilt because of not completely happy with it(first time making dual parallel 22g macros KA1)

I don't recommend this to other mech users, and the recommendation to go by CDR is good in general for people, but my personal stance is that vaping is pulsing, but however, we cannot just go by pulse-ratings in general as there's no standard for how long pulses are tested at, but we can however, for each cell, check the battery specs, to see what the pulse-ratings corresponds to, e.g. the samsung 25r is 5sec pulses of 45a and 100a for 0.5sec etc. Those values are the ones I personally use as max values, but again, not recommending out to people! When I say max values, then I mean also max values with also time to quickly dump the cells out if stuck fire-button!

This obviously applies, that I a) don't ever leave a "loaded" mech/atty unattended and so take the cells out if going out and b) I make sure to be on the lookout for that if any stuck firebutton, then I quickly needs to take the cells out.

That's just me though

And for the third time, the above is my own usage and not my recomendation!

Btw, I always say to myself, I never want/need to go lower than this, but then after trying a quick time a little lower build, then it's hard to go back to the older builds, since the warmth and thick dense vapor is just so fulfilling, so my limits has gradually dropped lower and lower down I must admit, and i'm no cloud-chaser at all, but just love to inhale/exhale nice thick dense vapor very much

But what's the rest time between pulses?

12 secs However, the example I brought of 40a for 5secs, is also underated imho, because samsung didn't test the pulses seperate, but actually did several pulses after eachother, from 95a for 0.5 secs and down to I don't remember sorry, but first after all those pulses(with the 40a in the middle abouts), then 12 secs break and then again repeat for hundred sessions or so untill empty... I believe it's not in the actual spec, but is in the presentation sheet from samsung on the cell. However, since Mooch also has tested pulses of the 25R5, then I would personally check that out as first resource, but just haven't gotten around to it yet(i've just read his first normal tests of 25r2 and 25r5) and the official presentation and spec sheet...

@All, Again, not recommended!

@All, I somewhat apologize for the above posts from me on pulse-ratings... Not that I don't still have same view, and in general thinks people need to do there own homework or else any possible issues is entirely on them, but still, I got a little carried away, because pulse-ratings and ad-hearence to such, isn't really propper subject in a thread named "Is this safe? new to mech mods"...

Crazy,

got a praxis clone yesterday, this morning the switch broke and can't fix it. Two mods so far and neither's switch has lasted longer than 24 hours. Mod was fine, but noticed that it can fire with a downward push, no need to do the 'push in then push down' to get it to fire. Is that normal for a praxis?

Bad manufacturing or bad luck?

So I have ordered an smpl and a velocity rda and VTC5....
___________________________________________________
Everything arrived. Made a .55ohm build. It did work very well, but button has been a nightmare.

It got stuck at one point after pushing in and had to quickly unscrew it to stop it firing. Then later on it fell apart (all of this within a couple of hours of use). Reassembled the switch but now the mod fires if i simply turn the mod upside-down. The switch is easy to rebuild but still gravity will fire it. It also has a magnet ring in it which i didn't realize it should have.

That is so dangerous that it's unusable completely.

Don't take this the wrong way but this is exactly why mechanical mods are marketed as "advanced user items", and this is exactly how people have catastrophic failures with their mechanicals.

Before I buy any mechanical, I examine breakdown pics and make sure I fully understand the design.

If gravity is causing your mod to fire and it has magnets instead of a spring they are installed incorrectly.

I agree with all of the above. If it had been me and done some pre-purchase research, I would have chosen a safer mechanical mod as my first mech, rather than a SMPL mech, which is a faux hybrid (hybrid looking) mech for more "advanced" mech users. Please see the last segment of the first link below concerning faux hybrid mods.
