Hi

New here, want to learn about mechanical mods, a thread or someone than can help me?

bought a US1 by Trinity, is gonna be my first mechanical mod, I'm going to use it with fused clapton @0.17ohm(in a widowmaker ) and Samsung 20s 30A battery

Welcome

Welcome!
this is a hybrid mod which provides a direct connection to your atomizer.I wouldn't suggest it for a bigginer to mechs.Are you informed about Ohm's Law? Battery safety?Calculating battery's amp draw when using different resistance?

On a mech, there is no chip. The voltage of your battery is the voltage you output. If you abuse your battery to the point of thermal runway in a mech, congratulations! You've made a crude pipe bomb. This can be done by creating a short in the top cap, or building too low of a resistance, or having your mod auto-fire, etc... You need to be aware of quite a few safety precautions before you begin using mech mods. With most regulated mods, there are safety features in place to prevent you from creating a pipe bomb scenario. Whether that's displaying a "LOW ATOMIZER" message on the display, or "ATTY SHORT", or even "CHECK ATOMIZER" -- it can save a LOT of time, and potentially, some physical harm.
Read up on battery safety before you even think of picking up a mechanical mod, whether you're using pre-built coils or building your own.

Welcome to ecf @guelofh

Seems like the mod you're using has top vent holes although looks like not too many?

Amps = volts/ohms therefore amps = 4.2/0.17 so you'll be drawing around 25 amps from your battery which so it should be fine with your batterty with a 30 amp CDR.

Here's a link to @Mooch's battery recommendations

Good luck to you!

Thanks
I've reading about Ohm's law, I'm using a app to calculate it ( Vape Full Mechanical Safety in the play store)
I'm using handmade coils @0.17 Ni90 fused clapton with 30a battery

At least your rda has more than enough protruding 510 pin.
Watch these:

• regulated mods vs mech mods
• OHM'S LAW
• Battery safety
• Baditude's guide for your first mech mod

I'm using this ones

Are you going to use your widowmaker as a single or dual coil?
Do you have a way to accurately measure resistance?
You cannot go by should be or guessed resistance, to vape safely it must be measured accurately.
Authentic US1 Trinity or one of the several cheap knockoff/clone variety?

I have to say here that a regulated mod would be a better first choice. You didn't say that you were moving from regulated to a mech. Just wondering. There's no forgiveness with a mech if a short occurs. Be careful!

I have regulated mods but want to use a mechanical.

It is your choise to beging with a hybrid mechanical mod(actually a faux-hybrid to be correct) if you insist,but make sure you did your reading first and double check everything

Using two .17Ω coils as dual coil setup in the widowmaker = .17Ω / 2 = .085Ω
4.2v /.085 = 49.4 a = not safe to use, at all. There is no single cell that will support this safely.

Great and very sensible...I would advise that you read as much as possible around this so that you're fully aware of all issues. There's lots on battery safety here and @Baditude will be able to point you to some great recommendations for mech safety.

Not something to be scared about and it definitely shouldn't ruin your vape experience, just things you should know so you're on your toes a bit Happy hitting

I think the OP means that his dual coils are coming out at 0.17...I hope so anyway

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Then he'd be using two .34Ω coils to arrive near .17Ω pending confirmation on accurate measurement after mounting, pulsing & strumming to ensure proper heating.

Correct.It is also displayed on the image he posted

 

[DaveP]

It's hard to imagine that 2 ohms used to be low resistance! I remember conversations such as this one when someone mentioned sub ohm coils on a mech. I regularly vape .5 ohm coils daily at 10W or so on regulated mods. Back then, I would have had people cautioning me for going so far below the one ohm level.

Times have certainly changed in the last few years.
