mod/battery question

[mongo74]

Hi gang. Newbie with a couple q's:

Triple HG2's in a CoV Tempest with a cleito 120....usually vaped around 120w. (.16)

How likely am I to burn off my eyebrows? lol

And another: OBS Engine .16 on a smok g-priv with a pair of HB6's...guessing I should be fine around 80w or so, or am I flirting with the angry battery demons...lol

Thanks for the help!

Resistance doesn't matter on a regulated mod:

Watts (add 10% to account for device inefficiency) / battery cutoff voltage (usually 3.2v) = amps

With series mods you multiply the cutoff voltage with the number of batteries, with parallel mods you divide the amps with the number of batteries. The amp draw per battery is the same whether parallel or series though.

Ahh, thanks for the heads up. I need to work on my maths.

Cheers!

but... if any of those hg2's fails and you're vaping at that.. yes you might lose your eyebrows... if the safeties cut in, you're fine and it wont fire, if they don't only then is it bad news.

I'm considering switching to batteries with more pixies lol

Maybe VTC4's or HB6's.

 

[Cheallaigh]

VTC4A.. not VTC4.. HB6's are good.

 

[mongo74]

Did you mean VTC5A?

 

[Cheallaigh]

there is VTC4 and VTC5, they are 20A or lower... VTC4A and VTC5A are the higher A versions.

 

[mongo74]

Oh, I've never seen the VTC4A. I thought the VTC4 and 5A were 30a?

 

[Cheallaigh]

nope VTC4A.. that A denotes which one is higher for both.

 

[mongo74]

Cool...thanks much! I'll peruse vendors for either or.

there is VTC4 and VTC5, they are 20A or lower... VTC4A and VTC5A are the higher A versions.

Vtc4 is a 23 amp battery, vtc5 20 amps, vtc5a 25 amps. I've never heard of a vtc4a.

Never heard of a Vtc4A either.

Sony VTC batteries:
- VTC3 28A 1600mAh
- VTC4 23A 2100mAh
- VTC5 20A 2600mAh
- VTC5A 25A 2500mAh
- VTC6 20A 3000mAh
​

There is the Sony VTC6, too. (3000mah 20A; Sony underrates the amp rating)

Sony VTC6 15A 3000mAh 18650 Bench Test Results...a great battery, equaling HG2/30Q

I thought so. I asked my local brick and mortar and they looked at me like...u wot m8?

 

[Cheallaigh]

I read it somewhere... I've been looking trying to find where I saw it.. so far I can't. mark it down to a brain fart.

I did order 6 VTC5a's tho.

 

[Cheallaigh]

living north of the border... browns are about the best I can get up there... it's really limiting my builds until I get a dual battery mod.

LOL, I'm sure one of us yanks can help a neighbor out.
