Just ordered a new mech mod and dont know where to start

[CJ Kumo]

Just ordered a stingray clone from fasttech and would like to know what kind of bat I should use and what a good RDA to start with is. I know all the terms, I've done some research, but I trust a bunch of opinions more than a narrow view. Also, I'm not new to vaping, just pretty casual about it and wanting to step up from an eGo bat and a Protank 2.

This is the exact mod I ordered: fasttech.com/p/1632200

Not allowed to post links so I guess just copy + paste it and let me know what you guys think is best for someone new to mech mods. Thanks, you're the best

Congrats on your purchase
My first rda was a ERA atty. Its simple to build and yields good results.

You better buy a multimeter before you buy an RBA.

I'm serious.

And then place an order for some recommend authentic IMR batteries for a reputable vendor.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!

I know all the terms, I've done some research, but I trust a bunch of opinions more than a narrow view. Also, I'm not new to vaping, just pretty casual about it and wanting to step up from an eGo bat and a Protank 2.

Are you familiar with battery safety, ohms law and amp limitations?

LISTEN TO THE ABOVE...

Research, research, research. And then more research.

I agree with all of the above. Suggest when it arrives you put it in a drawer where it can wait patiently while you become very familiar, comfortable and educated about how to use it safely and happily. .

Need a ohm meter, if you have a mod with one already, that will get ya by. Be very cautious of the stingray clone switches, their tolerances are crap, and often magnets are weak. The rice pin is to small and can lock in firing mode. The Fatdaddy upgrades help out a lot, but the switch can be troublesome.

Batts, 18650 IMR, high drain, 30 amp continuous, or better.

Love my authentic Stingray, tis one of the best, clone sting, not so much.

Hi again:

Check these out by baditude. Real good stuff:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=522991

Be sure to study them carefully in all their detail. Maybe a lot to take in I know, but the goal should be to become a battery safety expert.

After that, work on all the other stuff. But the above first.

Enjoy [emoji4]

and then read Baditudes Blogs on batteries and learn ohms law

The Sony batteries are good. I buy them from RTD Vapor. A trusted source. Get some battery boxes as well.
I am loving my new Magma clone RDA by Infinite. Super easy to build and wick. And once I get better at it I can run dual coils on it instead of a single. Get a wide bore tip for it.Lots of flavor and vapor!
Listen to the other posters in this thread. They are looking out for your safety. Test your batteries, and have extra on hand that are safely charged.
Good luck & Welcome to ECF!

Also, if you use tanks with AFC screws on the bottom make sure they aren't too loose when you put them on the Stringray. There have been a number of reports of the screws getting caught in the Stringray top channels and not being able to get the tank off without a lot of effort.

 

[dice57]

Yeah, can see ^^^^that happening, fortunately, none of my tanks that would be appropriate on the Sting have that. Would probably end up snapping the screw head off. lmao. sorry, that'd just Pizz me off

I will be now

 

[CJ Kumo]

Thanks everyone for the links Looks like I have quite a bit to learn, which is pretty exciting. Thanks for the advice, I'll be studying up a ton before firing up my mod. You guys are great, I'm glad to have joined here.

Kinda wish you had checked here first... a good RBA on an MVP 2 would have been a better step than going straight from eGo batts to mechanical... a regulated device is a better/safer way to get aquainted with rebuildables... just be safe and do your research, CJ... we'll be here to help you, so if you have any questions or doubts, come here and ask before you hit the fire switch on your mod, okay? Just want you to be safe and careful...
