LG HG2 Question

[Cheallaigh]

if he did i missed it again...

 

[opticruby]

when advising a seasoned vaporer... yeah say you can push, but not with new, it's a simple caution to prevent them from from having an accident.. because they might not understand are seeking safe advice.

Exactly this, thankyou.

Like @Cheallaigh said 60watts per battery, so 120watts for two batterys.

Resistance plays no part on a regulated mod, so it'll be 120 watts regardless of the coil ohms.


The formula we use to calculate this is:

Watts(+10% for mod ineffency)/mod cutoff voltage = amps being pulled by the mod.

Oh ok, so if i was to put in another .26 coil so i can have dual coils, i would be just fine at 60W? Would i be pulling more amps? or is my battery just going to drain faster?

TBH, I would leave vaping at those wattages to other people, for fear of burning my throat with vapour,lol.

A built-in battery is a-lot safer for higher wattages though and DNA boards you carnt go wrong.

BTW, the VTC4 is rated at 23amps CDR by mooch thats still only 3amps over the HG2 and 30Q's CDR.

I don't vape anywhere 200 watts, most I have done is 150 watts and that's way too hot for me. Yes it's only a 23 amp battery but for a seasoned vaper they can handle far higher amperage. Would I recommend a new vaper to push their cells past CDR, nope! Can somebody who knows what they are doing do it? absolutely! I look at it like overclocking your' computer, if you don't know what you're doing bad things can happen but if you have experience you can do it

Yes you would be fine, with regulated ohms don't matter watts do. No it will not drain your' batteries better.

Thank you! i got a Dual coil going right now .13ohm at 60w working great. thanks for the help.

Wow was just browsing this forum and i have to post so this bloke doesn't do some harm.
Moochs latest testing has revised the hg2 down to 18 amps draw as the quality of the battery has not been as good as in the past.
A .13 coil running at 60w is drawing over 21 amps and this doesn't acount for the efficiency of the regulated mod.

[Cheallaigh]

umm yeah it will drain... and two .26 coils is roughly .13, since the more coils... bah let's just ignore the others right?

danny, a 20 year olds bad advice is far better... clearly. i'm giving up on this poor guy, hope he doesn't get hurt.

Did you even bother reading the original post? He's using a TWO BATTERY mod not a single battery mod! according to steam engine worst case scenario he's drawing 11 amps. The coil will receive 21 amps, the mod will draw 11 amps.

 

[opticruby]

Those were the exact words I was trying type myself.

Basically I felt the OP is still learning the technical battery side of things, so to put him in a safe place where he can still get an enjoyable vape I used CDR's.

Exactly what @kbeam418 said..

Even with the HG2 being 18amps the OP still has a pool of 36amps available and thats staying in the CDR of the cells.

Coil resistance plays no part.

Also welcome to ECF!

Edit: clicked on your link, did you use an ohms law calculator to get "over 21amps"?

If so, we dont use ohms law calculators on regulated devices instead we use watts-law.

I=P(+10%)/V

My calculation brings it just a whisp over 20amps.

 

[KenD]

I would say Max 140-150 watts.

Woukd like to see your resistance a little higher like .27.

HG2 are my favorite batteries.

The resistance doesn't affect the amp draw on regulated devices so .27Ω is perfectly fine. Saying that 140-150w is fine isn't though. That'll exceed the cdr by about a quarter, and while the batteries can probably handle it (when new at least) it's definitely not recommended.

I thought he was running a mech.

.25-.27 is tge lowest i woukd run on a mech.

Resistance is not a concern on regulated mod.

You can pulse them up to 25 amps. CDR is 20 but they can take 25. I agree, always use trusted 20 amp cells but I'm trying to tell the op that exceeding CDR isn't going to make his device blow up.

That is simply abusing a battery.
You will find that if you use a battery that way the mAh of the battery will drop off quite quickly, and then you will be trying to push 25a with a 10a battery. So go ahead and do that if you don't mind replacing your batteries every 3 or 4 months instead of every 3 or 4 years.

Simply put, if you want your batteries to last, never exceed 50% of CDR.

Absolutely correct! In my opinion it's best to not to exceed cdr but if you're an experienced vaper (not op or the new members people) you can occasionally. I wouldn't push 25 amps on a 20 a cdr cell everyday but if I needed to for a short time I would.

 

[Cheallaigh]

then why are you suggesting it?
