MVP 3 Pro 60W- Noob Question

[ZDT223]

I've been using my MVP 2 for awhile now and love it- when I saw the 60w I decided to upgrade.

I started rebuilding on the MVP 2, mainly so I didn't have to keep buying the replaceable coils.
I'd like to start branching out a little into sub ohming, and this thing is supposed to fire down to .2 ohms.

The specs say that the battery on this has a max output of 17.5 amps. Since that is just a little over half that of most 18650 mech mods, should I avoid pushing the battery to its limit even though it will fire down to .2? I was thinking I could keep to .5 just to be safe but I wasn't sure if it was something to consider. The tanks they sell with this are generally around .5 (although I didn't order one- will just be doing my own builds) and I haven't been able to find anything about folks having problems with it.

What's the lowest build/highest wattage that would be reasonable with this thing, if that's not too broad a question? Safety is one of the main concerns here.

I'm sure it's painfully obvious that I'm still very new to this stuff, so any help/build recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've not had my coffee yet this morning. I edited my OP. your answer is .2Ω

 

[ZDT223]

Haha yeah, I know how that goes- a couple more cups and I'll be good to go myself


So even though it is rated to fire down to .2, would it be more advisable to not push it right to the very brink of it's limit?

 

[Topwater Elvis]

The 17.5a limit won't allow it to fire anything dangerous or detrimental to the device or user.
The built in limits & safety features are there to protect the user & device.

Innokin has a fairly long track record of making good safe power devices with reasonable limits.
I don't see why they'd change sop or risk their past reputation to play in the mid / high watt games.

Besides any of the above it is a variable power device, there really isn't any reason to use a .2 when you can use a higher ohm and more of the power output adjustment range.

If you have a choice to drive your vehicle at 65mph in 4th gear at 3800 rpm or 6th gear at 1950 rpm, which is ' safer '...
Your still limited to 65mph no matter which method you chose.

If you build at .2 your device will be firing 3.46v. I tell you that to account for your reference to mechs using batteries with higher amp ratings, those mods (with full charge) are using 4.2v. As far as what's safe in theory if the mod will let you then it's safe due to it being a regulated mod and having safety features. Odds are the battery in there is rated for more than 17.5 amps and if a safety did fail you would fry the board which is battery than it going pop. Learn ohms law before you begin building.

It came up with the 17.5 amp limit because the mod is limited to a max of 60 watts. Using ohm's law, using 3.4 volts with a 0.2 ohm coil would set the wattage at 57.8 watts (3.4 x 3.4 divided by 0.2). 3.5 volts with a 0.2 ohm coil would require a wattage of 61.25 watts, which is above the 60 watt limit of the mod. 3.464 volts with a 0.2 ohm coil would require wattage of 59.99648 watts. 3.464 volts divided by 0.2 ohms results in an amp load of 17.32 amps. This is where the 17.5 amp limit comes from.
