OK - after reading through and (still) absorbing all the wonderful info - and the excellent guide written by Baditude, I still have some questions... I am sure most of what I am / will ask has already been answered somewhere in here - but after searching for several hours - there are some aspects I'm just not getting.
To start, I picked up a Magma RDA and Stingray X second hand. I have been doing tanks for a quick bit now and after talking with other vapers who are all using mods, I figured I'd give it a shot. My intent to moving to a mod is not the exorbitant amount of smoke that can be released, but more because I feel tanks are becoming a pain for maintenance and when switching juices. Before moving over, I want to be sure that I'm getting the info correct.
I am not looking to do sub ohm (yet?), so I figure 1.5ohm is a good place to start and affirm the basics before trying to expand further.
Looking at batteries, there are a lot of suggestions to get the Sony 3.7V IMR 4C 2100mAh battery (US18650VTC4). In relation to Moore's law, I see a lot of people talking about 4V... The battery is rated for 3.7V but will handle up to 4.2V (as they say). The question is what voltage should I use as the part of my calculation to Ohms Law? Many of the references seem to use 4V as the calculation. Is this the voltage I should use as my constant (4V) when doing the math instead of the rating (3.7V)? With this in mind, my calc would be (V)4 / (R)1.5 = (A)2.7.
Since the battery would be a 4C - it gives a total Amperage capacity of 10.4Amps. That being said, that battery would be more than capable of being used within the "safety threshold"?
If you would please let me know if my thinking is correct on this... Seeing as how the 4C battery has limited availability, for my purposes, would the 3C (1600 mAh), assuming my assumption is correct that the 1600 mAh battery will give a max of 4.8Amps?
I think before I spatter more - I would appreciate any comments and feedback to be sure that my brain is percolating this information correctly. If I'm coming across as a lunatic, let me know and I'll try to more clearly put to words what my mind is thinking.
Thank you for the time, patience and help!
