Looking for an RDA vet to chat with!

[captiancd89]

Hi Guys,

Hope everyones week is starting off well.

I am a noob when it comes to dripping and building coils. I started about a month ago with some crappy clone and 28g wire. I love messing around with builds, I probably rebuild 1ce a day at this point.

My current setup I am using is:
Limitless mod Copper body
Mutation X v4 rda
and two Li 18650s @ 3.7v (2500mAh 9.25WH)
My current coil is:
2x 6 wraps of 24g ohmd out at .24 resistance

I am looking to get into a lower resistance then I am at currently but am hesitant as I want to be as safe as possible. I was thinking about going to .22g wire but I am not sure what is best. At the moment I am just chasing those clouds and performance.

Is there anyone who would be interested in having a conversation on the subject with me? Im available on most online IM services (skype,facebook,steam,etc)

Thanks for your time!

Hey @captiancd89 from what I know of 18650's limits and safety, you are already below the safe range as far as resistance on a mech mod and I highly recommend not going any lower. The only way to go lower in resistance would be if you were using a regulated mod, but with a mech .2Ω is pushing the limits of any battery on the market. @Baditude and @Mooch both have blogs that go into the detail of batteries capabilities and it may be helpful if you read them.

Lets just have that convo here. I was an AVID user of mechs until I got my first high-powered box. Now, I cant help but think that mechs are the past. I can build an insane coil, not paying attention to resistance and focusing on wicking and surface area, and vape like a train. Given it any thought?

I've been using rda's almost exclusively for months now; always above 1 ohm and mostly above 2 ohm single coil 28 gauge (started with 30 gauge), 5 to 6 volts.

seems to me for safety reasons you should get yourself a dual battery regulated mod instead of trying to pull a hundred watts out of one 1 ounce battery.

Thank you so much for this heads up. I would not like to do anything dangerous. I will keep this in mind moving forward.

I would absolutly be interested in learning more about highpowered box mods. What would you suggest? I know there are limitations to builds on some of these mods (an example is a itaste v3 I have that cannot accept coils under 1ohm)

look at the sigelei 150.
and keep in mind, once you use a vv/vw box mod, you no longer have to go quite as low in ohms to achieve high power because you are now using higher voltage.

you will also need to keep the pair of batteries for it matched.

Wouldn't it make more sense to try your "math" / builds with a calculator to check and see what the limit ranges will essentially be @ with any ohm / size wire ?

the snowwolf200 and the sigelei150 are 2 battery mods.
the sigelei75 is single battery and i believe that one is tc (temperature control)
the snowwolf should be tc also.

not sure about the ipv's

If your into alot of different builds with different kinds of wire you may want to spend a few more but as they say "you get what you pay for" anyway do a search for nickel purity.

I got my IPV3 Li for $75 on myvaporstore.com if you are interested in a good box mod. I like the temperature control feature it works well, plus you can update the firmware for 200w.

iPV4S 120W Box MOD by Pioneer4you Greenleaf
Sigelei 150W Box Mod- Silver
Sigelei 150W TC Temperature Control Mod

You are going to need to add in the cost of a charger and a set of married 18650s too.

What do you think about the PV3-Li vs the Sigelei 150 TC?

 

[Romano Cheese]

What do you think about the PV3-Li vs the Sigelei 150 TC?

I think the argument goes as well as Xbox vs Playstation. They both are good devices, what matters is what YOU like. If you are going to your vape shop, hold them, play around with them, get the feel of it and see what you like better. One of the deciding factors for me was (besides thinking the Sigelei looked terrible) the ability to update the firmware on the IPV, which took it from 165W with Nickel temp control to 200W and Titanium (the Sigelei only does Nickel temperature control). But it's a pretty bulky box and big in the hand. I would suggest watch a few YouTube reviews on each one and see them use the features and talk about them or check them out at a vape shop.

 

[Rabbit Slayer]

The IPV3 LI firmware can be upgraded IIRC, the Sig-150TC can not

 

[itskohler]

IPV Li all the way my friend.

IPV Li all the way my friend.

Thank you everyone for the input! I went ahead an got a IPV Li and a few of these samsung batteries Very excited to try it out!

@captiancd89 congrats man enjoy! I grabbed a silicone sleeve for mine off ebay for $7 - fits perfectly nice and snug. The touch sensor is a nice little feature I didn't care for when I bought it, now I'm using it more and more

What would you suggest for an RDA build on this device? my current .24 will work but as its adjustable would it be better to make a higher ohm build and just crank the voltage up more?

 

[Romano Cheese]

I like twisted kanthal for my normal builds - 26g or 24g. Normally I ballpark .3Ω - .7Ω vaping somewhere around 60-80w. But that's what I like, your results may vary.

 

[EverPresentNoob]

Run what you already have built. It will be fine on that there nice shiney new box. But by now Im sure you already have...
