LG HG2!!!

[Vape_Cape]

@Mooch 0.2 Ohm, 4.2 Volts = 21 amps ||| 0.2 Ohms, 3.6 Volts = 18 amps ||||
my question is sense theres not a big margin of extra space on those (20 amp lg hg2 batteries) would anyone consider getting VTC4 or LG HB2 from liionwholesale.com || imrbatteries.com || to be safer or would the lg hg2 work fine with a .2 ohm coil on a rx200 250watt box mod with 3.10 update.


I vape stainless steel Clapton coils on TC MODE
26G,32G

and regular kanthal 28G sometimes

Not sure what point you are trying to make. The rx200 is a regulated mod. Coil resistance doesnt really mean much of anything, so long as it is in the supported range. At the cutoff voltage of 3.2v per cell, that is 9.6 volts. At 20 amps, that lets you go all the way to 190 watts(although you would be at the limits of the cells). Under 150w, you wouldnt have anything to worry about.

If you are always above 150w, i would suggest the hb2 or vtc4.

For buying batteries, i always use orbtronic, but that is just my preference.

Calculating Battery Current Draw for a Regulated Mod

what speedy said. Also remember to factor in the mods efficiency which for the RX200 should be around 90%

With regulated mods, for a lazy man's guide, if you don't go past 60W per battery (20amp) you are MOST definitely ok.

You've got the wrong calculation, there. That's what you would use if you were putting it on an unregulated or mechanical device. On a wattage-regulated device like the RX200, amp draw is related to the wattage setting and not the coil ohms. 250 watts / 9 volts (3x batteries at 3.0v each under load at low-voltage cutoff) = 27.777 amps per battery, divided by .9 for efficiency then you're looking at a little over 30.8 amps. If you keep the wattage down to a more "reasonable" (lol) 160 watts or less, then you'll be under 20 amps even accounting for efficiency -- (160 / 9) / .9 = 19.7530... amps.

On a mechanical/unregulated you would use Volts/Ohms=Amps
RX200 is a different formula
Watts/Lowest battery charge before cutoff=Amp
Example (Assuming cut off per battery in the RX200 is 3.2v each, 3 batteries in series we multiply that by 3 and get 9.6v)
200/9.6v=20.8333333Amps (round up 21amps)

Yup. Factor in 90% efficiency you get 21 / 0.9 = 23.33Amps
