Looking for some help with batteries on my first time Mechnical Mod.

Use Baditude's blog to see the amp rating of your battery of choice
With an ohms law calculator plug in that max "continuous" amp rating and 4.2v, and it will tell you the minimum resistance you can use with that battery.

Ohm's Law Calculator

Or here is a cheat sheet created here in Utah

4.2 falls pretty fast on cheaper mods. I'd put in 3.9 3.7, it eventually evens out to 3.7. But, voltage drop on certain mods are high, so that 4.2 will fall fast to 3.7.

While it's true that all mods have drop off under load, always use the max voltage possible (4.2v) when determining the safe zone for the battery.

Well personally I do 3.8, because the way I vape I know I'm going to drop a fresh 4.2 battery down alot faster. 4.2 is FULLY charged that drops really fast, and since this person is new to it. The mech mod he/she gets will be a cheaper one I bet on. Their for faster voltage drop fast. Anyhow, you can tell the voltage drop as you vape the mech, when vaping it you'll start noticing it vapor output. But if you want to do 4.2 go for it. But I don't trust 4.2 which will give you fraction higher amps anyhow and less stress on the battery anyhow. My .4 right now draws 9.25 amps, at 4.2 that will drop fast is near 10.5. Only time you need to realy really worry is when you are super subohming that's it. If you have a 30amp battery your good peroid for subohming, unless super subohming comes in battery stress. But, put what ever value you want if you feel more comfortable with it.

Thank you all for the help. Just ordered the VT5, seems like a great set up. I got two and the charger for around $35.00.

I'll try to stay around the .8 ohm mark. I enjoy building microcoils with cotton, it's so easy to change.

I'm assuming with the EHPRO I can just build two microcoils, slap some cotton in them, and start dripping? Lol.

The guy in the video Mike, this is him with the VTC4's so yeah you'll be ok.

Annnnnnnnnnnnd here's a video for you VTC5's subohming 0.3 that's current

If I buy the SonyVT5 will I run into any issues with the sub-ohms? I'm not very knowledgeable with the ohms law. Money isn't an object. I just want to get the best and trust that it'll work with any given setup.

i just read this and am doing as much research as i can. i found out the EASY way i had 2 apparent fake sony vct's in my rotation this weekend. i am not happy with this at all and thought i would let you guys make up your minds.... got a quad of Samsung 25r's on the way. i never pull more than 10 amps so these will be good for me. thanks Batitude...

Sony vtc4 and vtc5 are hands down the best 18650 batteries on the market. I run 0.1 ohm on a sony vtc5 all day, and have for months, and I have never had a problem. I have even seen people go well below 0.1 with vtc5s without problems, although I would not recommend this. But these batteries are safe, reliable, hit hard, are consistent, and I just can't imagine why anyone would ever want any other type of battery right now.
