Just getting started on PV's and I'm so excited! However safety is of upmost concern! So, to my guru's I need info on best batteries for mech, and simple coil setup for low ohm (1.3-1.4)on the Kraken. Any suggestions and info would be fantastic!
K101mod w/ Kraken RBA coming soon! Need coil and battery info please!!

Click on both my sig line hyperlinks. One will take you to a coil modeling/battery consumption/Ohm's Law calculator... the next will take you to a article comprised of thread links that cover most all aspects of RBA and unregulated mech mod use.
I was looking at AW 18650 1600 mAh it's rated at 24 amps, and according to posts here maybe a hybrid just not sure yet. I already have an ohm meter and my other device is an SVD so I can check with that too correct? I'm probably just gonna buy one of those you can screw the atty on and push a button...I like! I will keep learning ohms law but all this info makes my noggin foggy after a while lol!
Buy a DMM. With unregulated mech mods, you need to be able to check continuity, resistance and voltage... that can only be done with a DMM - or if you just want to be stubborn, three separate meters. ;-)
A box Ω meter is fine to build coils on... but do not assume that a $15 box meter is accurate, when compared to a decent quality DMM.
Resistance and amperage work in concert. Using Ohm's Law, you can determine what that parity is... and if it's safe.

Ok maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing but the DMM I googled says $1000 ?? Is that right?
DMMs can be had for as little as under $10 to as high as... well, apparently $1000.
A decent one can be had for just under $50... up to $300-$400 for an entry level Fluke.

1.3 to 1.4 ohms total ohms ( notice i said total ohms). is not that low. Assuming a fresh 4.2 volt battery you would have at the 1.3 ohms your would have 14.7 watts at 3.5 amps. Most 18000 series batteries will handle that if you got one that was rated at 10 amps you would have a huge margin for error. Batteries you can get batteries that are either chemically or electronically protected. Those are great for Mechanical mod if you don't go sub ohm and exceed the limit of the battery. Ok now to the k101 mod. That mod is great for safety as it has a very nice left handed safety ring. USE IT. One other thing it is not the best when it comes to voltage drop/mod resistance. IF you ever decide to go sub ohm and the coil has a lower resistance than the k101 it will get warm. But your would have to go really low to do that. K101s will not use a KICK card with out a special adapter. I have a k101 and i use it a lot as it's the easiest one when it comes to the fire button. Volt meters were mentioned above. Unless you plan to measure voltage on an VW or VV apv you don't need and expensive one. I disagree about throwing away the batteries that came with it as long as you don't exceed say 5 amps. You won't need 30amp batteries unless you go sub ohm. Plus it's hard to find 30 amp batteries with a high mah rating.
check out this website before buying any ecigs - burningvape.com. My personal favorite is the Kamry k100 and k101, they are genuine with protection chip so its safe to use.
Ok so total ohms...if I put atty on my svd and it reads 2.2 ohms that is total ohms? Or is there something else involved that I don't know about?
