New RDA/Mech Mod User Saftey Questions!

[ronrosbaugh]

So I have been using and rda on a sigelei 150w Box Mod for a little while and today i just got my first Mechanical Mod it is a Authentic Anubis Mod with rda and glass drip tip. the battery it came with is a Panasonic CGR18650CH Rechargeable 2250mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium Battery. I wanted to know everything about battery saftey as you could possibly tell me so I dont end up on the 5 o'clock news around the states. Please and thank you

can i vape with this battery at .33 ohms?

 

[sonicbomb]

Only if you don't mind getting burnt. Its a Li-Mn/Li-Ion chemistry IMR Hybrid with a 10ish amp limit. So you should be ok as long as you don't build below 0.5 ohms.
Put the numbers in the calc and see.

.3 ohms = 14 amps
battery is rated at 9.9 amps
So, NO Not on your mech

Good thing im asking and cautious i want to know more before using a mech mod.
now what about a MXJO Flat Top High Drain Battery Safe chemistry LiMN 3.7V rechargeable batteries in an 35A 18650 2500MAH size

There is no such thing as a 35a LiMn (IMR) battery. Those are "pulse" ratings on the MXJO batteries.

The LG he4 seems to be about the best on the market right now.

Well, to be fair, the mech is fine. It's the battery that needs to be changed.

as important as your battery is matching the correct tank to that device, but that's another thread

The MXJO battery is a mystery. I suspect that it is no more than a 20 amp CDR battery, but there is no battery test data anywhere that I can find that verifies that suspicion. I have no plan to try one. I'll stick to known brands.

Samsung 25R's (20a) and Sony VTC4's (30a) are what I use. Both are more than capable to run a .33 ohm resistance.

I like a big safety cushion myself. If my build is pulling 18A I'm going to use a Sony vtc4. If my build is pulling 10A, I'll use a Samsung.

Build a one ohm coil

what gauge kanthal should i use for 1 ohm builds

 

[ElConquistador]

Go to the steamengine.org website and play around with the calculators. You can build a one ohm coil out of pretty much any gauge kanthal, it's all a matter of how many wraps and what diameter the coil is. 28 is a popular gauge around here for general use, I use 29 and 30 because it heats up faster. 7 wraps of 29 around a 1/16 inch mandrel gives me a 1.2 ohm coil. I use 18650 AW IMR 1600 maH batteries, which have a 24 amp rating, I have no need for that rating, but it makes me very comfortable

Better to start of being conservative rather than venting a battery, especially if you're unsure of your battery's capabilities.

All i have is 20 gauge kanthal

You will not be able to make a 1Ω coil with 20 gauge Kanthal and have it fit into your RDA.

Samsung 25r's are what everybody recommended to me.

I have a pair of MXJO batteries the local shop sold me 5 months ago. I suspect it's a re-wrapped LG HE2, but have no way to confirm this. Haven't had any trouble with them.

I don't run them over 10A, and have some samsung 25Rs on order to replace them.
