If the switch is getting hot, it means the switch is not able to pass current without excessive resistance. Hence the heat, much like the coil you are trying to do the same to.How bad is it if the switch gets hot ?
What are good wattage ranges to shoot for on this mech mod? I have 28 gauge and an LG 18650 35amp limit battery. Currently running .37 ohms dual coil twisted kanthol build at Max watts when batt is 4.2V at 43ish watts
Any builds people can recommend for cloud chasin on an omega rda ?
What gauge is good for cloud chasing ? Specifically, I wanna get into trying a bunch of rip trippers builds on youtube

Then Pay attention to the Videos - He clearly explains what and how.![]()
Before you get into cloud chasing and getting the right wire for it, you seriously need to upgrade your battery.
True, and you also have to pay attention to the finally ohms and calculate the amps drawn and make sure your battery can safely handle it.
I have a physics BS so ohms law is nothing new to me, calculating watts and amp draw. If I'm running nothing more than .3ohms off the fresh battery that's only 14amps continuous being used
I also have a vtc3 with 30amp continuous rating
I agree completly and bit my tongue rather than respond to the op. After all, with a physics degree, who am I to argue. I have a lowly 3 years higher education and no degree but enjoy personal persuits in fields suited for an EE.When someone asks the question 'How bad is it if the switch gets hot ? ', it pretty much convinces me they don't understand electricity or basic electrical circuits. They probably would also not understand how bad it would be if a electrical wire in their house was heating up. I'm not trying to give you a hard time. Think about it for a minute and I hope you'll see where I'm coming from.
There are a few things you should know before you start using mechanical mods. If any part of your mod is heating up, stop and fix it. That heat is from excess resistance between contact surfaces and it's going to get worse over time. The only heat should be coming from the atty. Even if your build in the atty is a safe resistance you can have a short in the mod or the atty. A hard short of the battery will cause it to heat up quickly and if it gets hot enough it will vent. The VTC3 is a hybrid cell and will not explode when it vents. Aim to change your battery out when it gets to no less than 3.6V. Have a DMM, know it and use it to check atty resistance and battery voltage. Do not vape burnt juice, that makes very unhealthy vapor. Again, stop vaping and fix the problem. There's a bunch more, but these are I believe the most important safety concerns.
