Iv been vapping for over a year now so I feel I have the basics down. Iv been using a dna 30 with a plume veil/kayfun for 3 months now. I tend to stay around 1.6ohms. I just got a orchid v4 and a praxis mech mod. I love the orchid at .3 ohms and 13w/2v on my dna 30. When I try the praxis with the orchid .3ohm/plume 1.6ohms it gets very little vape....less then the old cartimizers. The batteries I'm using are Panasonic 18650b. Would the battery not be good enough for a mech? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

That battery is not good for vaping at below .75ohm, so the orchid is not a good or safe choice if you have it built as low as stated. Should be OK to use with your higher build, but not the battery I would be using in for vaping in a mech. As with any mech, make sure your contact is clean and with a praxis, make sure the inside where the button contacts the wall of the mod does not have any dirt/grease/etc built up. Praxis has a cleaning guide on their site if you are unsure about the workings of the device.
Due to the hybrid top of the Praxis, make sure your center pin on the orchid is adjusted out so the battery does not contact the outer ring (negative) of the atomizer. If the battery top (positive) contacts both the inner and outer part of the atomizer 510 connection it will hard short and could be a bad situation.
1.6 ohm on a mech is not going to get you a very heavy vape on a dripper. It shouldn't be less than old cartos though. Look into getting some safe chem, high drain batteries for using (with any device) for your lower ohm builds.
Great resource for batteries, safety and going lower ohm

First off please for your own safety do not use those batteries for sub-ohming. Unless you want to loose your hand or face. Those batteries cannot handle the amps you're putting on them. Get yourself some sony vtc's or lg with at least a 20 amp rating, 30 amps would be better. Also check out ohms law if you are unfamiliar with it.
I second that,
The batteries that you are currently using can not handle the load presented, there are many new options that float in the 30'ish amp draw (sustained) range and don't cost an arm and a leg (now they only cost an arm and part of a leg).
I don't mind paying for batteries, this is the single failure point of my E-cig and I know it (also the one part that could seriously hurt me badly) and besides most are good for 500+ charges which is easily over half a year if not more.
Anyways, the links posted are a great reference and your already in good hands here on ECF,
