hey everyone, I'm new here and just getting into vaping, I'm maybe two weeks in and still haven't had a analog. As I do with anything I jump right in I started with a mvp 2.0 with a nautilus which I still use when I'm gone all day but recently I got a grand vapor sentinel with a patriot rda, soon after that I picked up a ehpro kayfun lite plus v2 which I'm in love with currently vaping some cosmic fog milk and honey and it is delicious

Welcome to the forum! Congratulations on finding your way and giving up the smokes! Looks like you've already graduated to rebuildables. Learn everything you can with those regards, including battery safety. I'm on tapatalk right now so don't have access to links, but learn, be safe and vape happy! 
Thanks for warm welcome everyone. And yeah I have been absorbing as much info on mech as I can now I have been building my coils when I go to my local vape store and have them test them and inspect them I do need to get my own ohm tester and more knowledge on ohms law though
Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!
For an education on mech mods and rebuildables I highly recommend you spend some time with Baditude (our resident battery expert) and visit his blogs. There is a lot that can be learned regarding using both safely. Baditudes Blogs. The blogs regarding mods and rebuildables are listed below:
BATTERIES
9. Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected ICR?
* Another essential read to understand which batteries are safe to use in mechanical and regulated mods. Includes a frequently updated list of recommended safe-chemistry, high-drain batteries with their specifications.
11. Deeper Understanding of Mod Batteries Part 1
* For those who want to learn the differences between IMR, IMR/hybrid, and ICR batteries. What do those numbers and letters on batteries mean? What's an amp rating?
12. Deeper Understanding of Mod Batteries Part 2
* Protected vs unprotected batteries - what's the difference? Ohm's Law 101. What is an AW battery? What is an inline fuse? What is stacking batteries?
17. Purple Efest Batteries Not As Advertised
* A cautionary blog that reveals that the purple Efest batteries may not have the specifications advertised. Also includes a commentary on "continuous discharge ratings" vs "pulse discharge ratings" of battery specs.
OHM'S LAW
14. Ohm's Law for Dummies (Vapers)
* My attempt at explaining Ohm's Law in layman terms and how it relates to vaping.
16. Explain it to the Dumb Noob: Ohm's Law Calculations
* As simple as it is to use, some people have a tough time grasping the concept. Warning: Includes graphic photos of mod explosions.
MECHANICAL MODS & REBUILDABLES
7. Information Resources for Your First RBA
* An essential read and referrance guide for someone new to rebuilding coils. Includes a multitude of useful links on battery safety, mod safety, coil meters, coil building, and the differences in the three types of RBA's.
15. Inexpensive Mechanical Mod and RDA Setup
* A response to the frequently asked question on how to get into rebuildable atomizers with a mechanical mod inexpensively. Includes a list of commonly used tools and supplies for rebuilding and where to find them.
BATTERIES - WHERE TO BUY
How to Spot Fake Sony Batteries
Only buy batteries from a reputable supplier (not ebay or Amazon) as there are many counterfeit batteries being sold. Here are several reputable battery suppliers in the US.
* RTD Vapor
* Illumination Supply
* Lighthound
* Orbtronics

Welcome to ECF. What an ambitious start into vaping. Have you thought of slowing down and enjoying what you have? It's not a race. You have some good equipment in the KFL's and MVP.
