Mech mod help

[Topwater Elvis]

It says on mootch’s post they are 30a and on the website so what do I go by here

The link I provided is mooch's opinion of the cell based on his testing.
Many places incorrectly advertise CDR's, that's why it is important to buy only from known reputable vendors.

Yep. I picked liionwholesale a long time ago and have been happy with quality, shipping time and the cases they give you.

hey I just got into mech mods and I currently am using a smok fury 5 mech tube with a Sony 18650 and a .15 Ohm coil in a dead rabbit rda is this safe ? To use because I’ve been using It for a day now and no problems but I want to make sure

Welcome and glad you joined.

Welcome and glad you are setting it aside for a bit.

For all things battery go here, and also on Baditude's blog, you'll find a great deal on mechs too. Read up and keep asking questions until YOU KNOW you are calculating right. It is YOUR equipment, body, battery, build etc., so asking someone else to choose your battery and build is not going to teach YOU about how to calculate safely and etc.

But, I am also really glad you asked. Because what you were running with isn't safe. But, you can get to safe with a bit of online study. Also welcome to ECF.

1. Choose a coil resistance that gives you the wattage you want.
2. Use ohms law to calculate what the amp draw will be.
3. Choose a battery with a CDR that equals or exceeds this amp value.

Step 3 is the most important, and steps 1 and 2 should serve step 3.
Use Mooch's test data to choose a battery.
Buy the battery from a trusted for vendor.
Always test a new build on a reliable ohm meter before using it.
Religiously observe a battery safety regime.

the first thing I would say is if you ask that question you should not be using a mech mod and because you had an unsafe set up that says no you should not be using a mech mod. Do alot more research before you even pick it p again.

New to Mech's, this is my lecture for those just getting into them.

1. Ohm's law, Steam Engine | free vaping calculators makes it easy and there's even an app on it for Android

2. Batteries,!!!!! take good care of your batteries and know them!!!!!!!

a. Avoid crap batteries like eFest who rewrap rejects with grossly inflated amp ratings. Stick with authentic LG, Sony or Samsung from reputable (not eBay or Amazon) sources, great places that I get authentics from are -

Liion Wholesale Batteries | Li-ion battery/cell distributor

Earth's #1 source for IMR 18650 Batteries, Chargers, Cases & Wraps | IMRbatteries.com

Illumn.com - Flashlights, Batteries, Carry Gear, Intelligent LED Lighting, and More!

b. Stick well within Continuous Discharge Rate (CDR) Not the "pulse"

c. Keep up to date with what Mooch tests and battery ratings, follow his posts on Facebook and his Blog and only use his recommend batteries.

d. In Mod's with multiple batteries, marry them.

e. Get some battery wraps, they're cheap and easy to re-wrap batteries. Any nicks,tears or what ever don't be stupid and just re-wrap.

3. Don't build stupid low a good builder can chuck and get awesome dense vape from a good build. It's simple, with 20 CDR Amp batteries -

a. Single battery mod's you're fine with .2 ohms on up

b. Dual Parallel you're fine with .15 on up. Parallel you take the full CDR of one battery then add 1/2 the CDR of the next battery

c. Series you double the voltage but you share the amps . So a series you build high with a lot of wire mass no lower that .4 ohms.

4. Make sure you don't have any shorts. For an extra caution any new build I will vape on a regulated mod for a few drips or with a tank about a 1/4 tank. This is to insure nothing wonky with my build like shorts.

5. Careful if it's not in your hand, if it doesn't have a lock on the button and you put it in your pocket (which I really don't recommend) insure nothing else is in your pocket and it's loose. Don't want to put it in your front pocket and blow your Johnson off ya know

6. Last but certainly NOT the least, keep it clean! Clean it when you first get it "before" you even use it and clean it on a regular basis.

a. Ultrasonics are a very good investment, got mine off Amazon for around $25.
