My mechanical mod vibrates, please help.

[Train2]

a little glowing thing in the airflow thing in the subzero rda. very near the copper contact screw

This sounds like a short in the rda. Rebuild, check resistance, do-over.

dual parallel coils, 24g kanthal A1 wrapped 3x around the 30 rod easy coiler. not sure what the resistance is

This looks likely to be well under 0.1 ohms. FOUR wraps, dual parrallel 24g 3mm would be about 0.1

I was interested in getting a parallel mech mod once, but 2 factors always push me away.
1. bulk, as I mentioned earlier I love having a single battery mod because its just small enough to carry around nicely.
2. its very difficult to find parallel mech mods in my country. Ive only seen people selling the noisy cricket v2. which has parallel and series option. In fact a friend of mine own one. This to my knowing is not a "true mech" they have some kind of chip inside.

As for coiling options it always many suggested prebuilts. Ive tried this. Its a popular local brand, but it was just horrible vape experience for me. The coil fires very very slowly despite being around .18ohms if i recalled. So my friends told me to get a builder to build me one and they introduced me to one in a local vapeshop. He builds well, and my friend has a satisfying vape with his coils, and Ive tried my friend's setup it was great. however the coils was around $10 a pair, this may not sound expensive to some people abroad but here $10 could get you alot, its our highest value paper bill. Imported coils like Mterk's , Squidoode's , etc. goes around $35 here. For me, this coils are too expensive.

So, as far as I know building my own coils is my best option now.

Welp....At this point, I think the only sensible thing for me to do is wish you lots of luck!

That or wear some sort of protective face gear while vaping....

Sir I would like to thank you for understanding my situation, Which others seems to take my explaination as not knowing enough.

What you described "bassically....... knowledge/experience" is exactly what I've been trying to explain. I may not be the most knowledgeable and a vaping veteran but I am very much aware of the danger and how my super low build is endangering myself. I know my build is around or even lower than .1ohms and I know my battery limits at 20A and Im pushing around 42A. I am well aware.

This bad habit seems to grow on me ever since me and my friends started going lower and lower and getting to comfortable with the safety. I used to be the one to remind a friend of mine who was using a 0.07ohms on his mech to stop, but somehow at some point of time Ive lost this safety concern habit.

And I would like to thank everyone in the replies who have helped me regain my safety concern. A special thank you for you sir who clearly understands my message and deliver them more clearly for everyone else.

So everyone, I have built a new coil and Ive measured it, 0.22ohms. Ive also got a new battery, the VTC4 since it has CDR rating of 30A.

However, I do have a question. What build is safe to go for big clouds? with the new coil Im unsatisfied with the clouds it generates. However Im not interested in potentially blowing up my mod with such a low build again. So, what kind of coil build would anyone suggest for cloud chasing at maximum 0.15ohms (4.2v at 0.15ohms gives 28A). Aliens? Dual aliens? claptons? any ideas? thanks.

Note that the vtc4 is a 23 amp battery, not 30.

You wanna blow clouds and not blow your face off, here's what to do.
Up your VG level in your juice, build a simple coil for your RDA, as I suggested earlier. Brush up on battery safety. These tips will help you not only keep your teeth, but help you blow clouds as well.
I have been using mech mods for almost 4 years now
Good luck

There is no way around it.
You can only get so much out of 1 battery SAFELY.

If you want more power SAFELY, you need more batteries.

I was just about to reply something along those lines. An amp limit is something that should be regarded as a personal barrier. Mechanical mods do not limit anything, therefore the power used is what the user is demanding, no warnings, no safeties.

Now, you can go as safe as the battery allows, and if you still want more, then THAT's the problem. You can ignore safety warnings, and we're all yelling them left and right, but it's up to you to decide when enough is enough. You may like a loud concert, but when you start asking about the constant ringing in your ears, then you might want to consider if listening to music that loud all the time is really what you want.

A single battery can run at most 30A continuous,and who knows what "pulse". The DNA 250 has a 55A maximum output for safety. So sure, you can get a single battery mod and pulse it higher than what the DNA250 puts out, but that's not advisable by anyone with battery safety knowledge. If you took the DNA 250 in a competition with a single battery mod, then the DNA is way more powerful. If you need something more than 55 amps, then a multiple battery mech mod with 30A batteries are what you need.

Keep in mind, this adds a bit more knowledge, and a relentless approach to battery safety to pull off. You must keep batteries married, Keep your mod in top running order, be sure of your supplier, and know the battery's limit's well.

I wish you luck. Here's some things to help get you started...

...My first mod was the evic v2 mini, a single 18650 mod. Ive built as low as the mod allows me to but It was just too unsatisfactory, yes the cloud was good but compared to mech 18650 it was nothing...

You seem to be under the impression that 'Low Ohm Coils = Big Clouds', but this is only somewhat true in the case of unregulated mech devices.

With regulated mods, you don't build lower resistance coils to get 'MOAR VAPE', you use the adjustments that the mod provides to power the coil appropriately.

In other words, a 0.8 Ohm coil, used in a regulated device, can easily 'out-cloud' any single-cell mech with a 0.25 Ohm or whatever coil. Regulated devices can increase the voltage output to the coil to provide more power - a mech can't do this.

For 'big clouds', coil-wise, you're much better off using a thinner gauge wire (like 26-28AWG) to make a higher-resistance coil with more wraps, more surface area, which will take much less time to ramp up and use a regulated mod to power it.

I hope this makes sense to you.
