Hello guys
I am noob at this kinda stuff and hopefully you can hell me with my concern
I bought the ICON 200 mod with the SONY VTC6 battery and i also bought an rda
So my question is...is it possible of blowing up if something went wrong with my building?
Thanks for reading
While I have no personal experience with the ICON 200 it seems to be a regulated mod, so about the worst thing that will happen if you build it wrong is that it will refuse to fire.
You'll be fine. If your build is wrong your mod just won't fire a stated above. That mod will fire down to .1 ohm on your build . Get an ohm reader to build your deck on and you'll know your ohms before you even put the RDA on your mod.
The beauty of a regulated mod is it's protection features. What rda do you have? Look for build tutorials for your rda on youtube.Hello guys

It's ok you still have more experience than me ..believe me your answer helped me
And YES. It's regulated mod
Thanks for your time bro
Thanks for your helpful advice man. I will get one as soon as i can.
Your concern should be directed towards battery safety. The VTC6 is a 15 amp battery and good for up to 45 watts each. Not sure how many batteries your mod has but keep the wattage below 45 per battery.
First, while the majority of "blowups" involve mechanical mods, a regulated mod can fail, too.
Your first line of defense is making sure you have authentic batteries, from a reputable supplier, and rated for your wattage needs. If it's a single battery mod, that may restrict your wattage a bit more than you want. For tons more on battery safety, I'd go here: Mooch's blog | E-Cigarette Forum There is a table in the blog that lists all of Mooch's tests and battery ratings, and in the last cell, a list of reputable sellers of authentic batteries.
Checking your build on a 510 tab (ohms reader) is ideal, but you can also check it on your regulated mod. I personally prefer an ohms reader for a stable base, and I build on it all the way up to test firing my assembled and wicked build to make sure everything is as it needs to be (no leaking, reasonable ohms etc.) before transferring it to my (more expensive) mod that I don't want to tip over as I build or leak all over and etc. But provided your builds are high enough as far as a safe ohms range and not overstressing your batteries and mod you should be fine.
If you aren't using a dual battery mod at your wattage and resistance, you may want to consider one.
Best of luck,
Anna

To add to the excellent info that Stols001 gave you:
Its all about battery safety.
Its all about battery safety.
Cool velocity decks are easy to work with. Try a dual 7 wrap 24 gauge with 2.5 inner. Sounds technical but you can wing it on the inner diameter. Still youtube it.
I really learned how to build on a tobeco velocity clone. Had a lot of good times with it. Can do so many different things with it and it's easy to get coils nice and centered or arranged just right. I like the wide open center compared to other post styles. Started building on a postless deck recently and that's pretty awesome. Aromamizer plus.
Welcome and glad you joined.

Good advice already given... Nothing more for me to add. Just posting to let you know I agree with Stols001, Baditude, and BrotherBob.
Just posting to let you know I agree with Stols001, Baditude, and BrotherBob.Yep, they certainly can, but when they do it’s usually for different reasons than when mech mods go pear-shaped (unless their electronics malfunction, which is always a possibility, but not a very common one.)
You’re right to call out batteries, because one thing a regulated mod, even in perfect working order, can’t entirely protect you from is trying to draw more than your batteries are able to deliver.
The worry with a mech is that you’ll build way lower than you meant to, or have a short. The worry with regulated mods is that you’ll build how you intended to, but that that will cause the battery to fail, either because it’s an inappropriate battery for the application, or because it’s defective.
Since you have a 2-battery regulated mod that can allegedly put out 200 watts, and using the Sony VTC6 batteries, you'll max out at 90 watts because the VTC6 is just a 15 amp battery. 15A (45 watts each) X 2 = 90 watts total.
Depending upon the wattage setting you use, you may be asking your batteries to put out more amps/watts than they are capable of. You may want to consider getting 30 amp batteries to get the full power range of your 200 watt mod; however, these batteries are only 1500 mAh and will only last half the time on a charge as a 3000 mAh battery.
In the interests of keeping things simple:
If you use a good quality 15 amp CDR battery like the Samsung 30Q or Sony VTC6, then you are good up to 45 watts per battery; 90 watts using two; 135 watts for three batteries.
If you use a good quality 20 amp CDR battery like the LG HG2 or Samsung 25R then you are good for 60 watts per battery. If using a 2-battery regulated mod, your good for 120 watts as you have two batteries. If you are using a 3-battery mod, you're good for 180.
If you use a single 25 amp CDR battery like the Sony VTC5A, then you are good for 75 watts per battery, 150 watts for two batteries, and 225 watts with three.
If you use a single 30 amp CDR battery like the LG HB6 you are good up to 90 watts; with a pair of 30 amp CDR batteries you could safely do 180 watts assuming the mod cuts off when the batteries reach 3.4 volts.
