well i went and got my first mechanical mod today i got a smok magneto 1939 with a aw 18650 and a trident clone
it looks nice performs very nice i havent built a coil or coils on the clone yet i havent done a dual coil build yet but i have a pro tank with a micro coil cotton wick and its workin NICE seems as if im gettin more nic too feelin it moer is this normal...?..lol
is a .5 ohm coil too low if i build 2 1 ohm coils..? will i need a kick..?
i have a 18350 in it now as the 18650 is charging will it have a noticable differance..?

What kind of battery did you get. Do you have an ohm meter?

ya i got a tester the battery is a aw imr 2000 mah

I don't know about parallel/stacked coils, and I don't know how that effects resistance. But if you use an ohms calculator to find the amp output of that build, it should (for your safety) be well below the amp limit of the battery. But that's just a general guideline on the subject.

What batteries are you using, there are different types of 18650's?

 

[xanderxman]

An AW 18650 has a 10A limit and in a mech at .5 ohm you are looking at drawing about 7.5A with a fresh battery, assuming 3.7V under load. It should be fine but that is getting close to the limit, in my opinion. Please be sure that you check the resistance of your build throughly to ensure you are not getting too low with your resistance. Safety first.

Don't sub ohm with the 18350. Not safe. Wouldn't go too low with the aw either. You should invest in some sony 30a batts for sub ohming.

 

[xanderxman]

Just read the part about the 18350. DO NOT sub ohm with that battery, as Imperial has already stated. Sony 30A is the way to go for sub ohm vaping.

i always check builds and never triedany sub ohms yet i will get some 30a batts to be safer i think the lowest i will go is 1.0 ohms
to start

i have a pro tank with a 1.8 build on it now and its workin well

i will do some further research and get some better batterys before i do any sub ohms thanks for the help

 

[Imperialbeachboy]

No problem. You should still do some dual coil builds on the trident to get some practice. If you make two 2ohm coils it will come out to 1ohm. Easiest to build microcoils on a drill bit to keep them identical. That is the key.

While the Sony VTC batteries are better I've used my AW IMR 18650 2000 mah batteries down to .5 ohms before. It's still below the discharge limit of the battery and I've never had any problems. Just can't go much below that or you could have problems. The Sony batteries are definitely better though and give you some more wiggle room
