Hi all newbie here with questions..I recently have purchased a smpl mod (clone) kit from eBay which came with tugboat (clone) atty (2.2 ohm build) and battery that is dark blue button top
+ Li-ion 18650 5000mah 3.7V -
Is this kit safe to use with the battery mentioned? Thanks in advance to any responses

red flag to me is the 5000mah battery... second redflag, ebay is known to have many of fake items.....

howdy - and welcome! not sure about the mod and atty, but i don't believe that battery is vapesafe - to best of my knowledge, highest mah rating you will see on a decent, vape-safe battery is 3000mah... would recommend getting a decent battery... samsung 25r, lg he4, sony vtc4 (if you are going to keep build above .5 ohms, first two are more than adequate)

i would also suggest getting a regulated mod if its your first mod...

Thanks for your responses. I'm new to mech mods and was kinda weary about the battery so I decided to check with you guys before I used this particular setup

Hi,
I also would recommend a regulated mod. Like the Joyteck eVic mini 75 watt kit it come with a Tron tank it costs around $60.00. Get some good Sumsung 18650 25R batteries and a good charger a Nitecore D4. You can use the tugboat clone you bought. That 2.2 ohm build will work with the eVic mini. Save the mechanical mod for later when you are more of an expert.

Short answer, no. There aren't any safe vape batteries with 5000 mAh. I also personally oppose the use of faux hybrid mods like the SMPL because it is to easy to get a short at the battery top where the atomizer makes direct contact with the battery. Safe mechs have a center pin for the atomizer connection, or are true hybrids with no top cap or 510 connection at all; the atomizer base is threaded M20 x 1 (or whatever) to screw directly in to the tube.

i love my evic vtc mini with the updated, and it as a bypass mode that makes it act like a mech mod, fresh battery and a .11 coil i can get 140w (drops when charge drops)

Great I'm looking at the evic mini now..i really appreciate the input.

I have a vtc5 battery that came with my other mech mod this last smpl mod however came with the dark blue battery that's why I was asking if it was safe because I didn't recognize the battery

Hi and welcome. Be careful about what you buy and where you buy from. Glad to have you here, and vape safe!
