New Mech Mod

[G22Hazin]

My first post here. I have my first mech mod on the way. Infinite Stingray 26650 with a Tobeco Magma 30mm. Any advice from users who have this setup would be nice.

Hello and welcome to the forum G22Hazen. Glad to have you here!

Have you well versed in battery safety, Ohm's Law and amp draw, etc? Have you purchased an ohm reader or DMM to measure your builds?

 

[G22Hazin]

I'm not "well" versed in battery safety but understand the basics. I did purchase an ohm meter, ceramic tweezers, an efest 3.7volt 3500 mah battery that discharges at 32 amps. I'm predicting that I'll be building at .08-1.2ohms.

.08? That's pretty low...

.08? That's pretty low...

Yeah, I'm hoping that is supposed to be .8 for a first-time mech user.

 

[G22Hazin]

Ooops yes, .8 lol

Be careful when sub-ohm. It can result in not good times heh.

Have you decided on what wire to get and what your gonna use for wicking material yet?

Just a FYI for you.

Your Efest 35A batteries are only 20A continuous. This link is from Baditude (our resident battery/safety expert): Purple Efest Batteries not as Advertised

Make sure you are using 4.2v (fully charged battery) when you are figuring the amp draw of your build. Also allow for headroom.

COILING CALCULATOR

Here are a few links for you regarding building coils and getting the resistance just where you want it:
1. Steam Engine
2. Coil Toy Calculator

Make sure to check your build with an ohm reader or DMM before putting it on your mod and firing it.
