What is the question?

If you are asking if that tank can fit on the Pico, it should. The tank is 22mm in diameter. A larger diameter tank might not fit because of the battery knob.

A Sony VTC6 battery will allow up to 45 watts of power. If you plan to use higher wattage settings than that, you'll need a battery with a higher amp rating.


WATTAGE PER SINGLE BATTERY on REGULATED MOD:
(Total wattage doubles using 2 batteries; Triples using 3 batteries.)

Up to 45W:

Yes, they'll all fit and work together. I'd consider the sony vtc5a or a molicel p26a though.

The recommended wattage range for those coils is between 10 and 30 watts, so he'll be fine fine using the Sony VTC6 batteries. Having more mAh, the VTC6 will give him longer battery time than the VTC5A or Molicels.

The batteries you use in a regulated mod like the Pico is based upon the amp rating of the battery and the wattage range of the coils you'll be using.

True, but for the minuscule price difference and the fact most of us don't stick with a particular device, I stand by my recommendation. Especially since he mentioned "cheap". He may want an RTA in the future and run lower resistance coils. Also the mah rating coincides with the amp draw. The run time could be too close to notice a difference at lower settings.

Coil resistance is pretty much irrelevant when using a regulated mod. With a regulated mod, what is most relevant is the wattage setting or power being used. Based on Watt's Law.

If we were talking about a mechanical mod, then yes, coil resistance and amp draw are relevant. Based on Ohm's Law.



I've used Samsung 30Q 3000mah 15 amp vs. Samsung 25R 2500mah 20 amp batteries at 30 watts, and get approximately 45 minutes to an hour longer time with the 30Q.

We
thanks for all information
its my first buy on vape
and the there is some informations about the coils( difference in OMS and effete).


On most mods, the ohm of the coil isnt as important as some think. It can indicate how the coil is designed to function, but not always.

:thumb:

When using regulated mods, the resistance of the coils used is not so critical because you can adjust the mod's wattage to your vaping preference. In general, MTL tanks use coils that usually require much less wattage (10 - 20 watts), produce a cooler vape, and have a restricted air flow. In general, DTL tanks use coils that usually require much higher wattage (over 20 watts), have a more open air flow, a warmer vape and much more vapor.

With mech mods, since you don't have a regulator chip to adjust the wattage, the only way to change your vape experience is to change the coil's resistance with a different coil. Low resistance coils (ie sub-ohm) produce a warmer vape and increased vapor, and since it requires more energy they drain your battery faster. You also need to be careful that the amp draw of the coil does not exceed the amp rating of the battery being used, meaning you need to use Ohm's Law calculations.

Welcome and glad you joined.
Off the shelf pre built coils can get expensive over time. Might want to consider a combination pre built coil tank along with the option of building your own coils. Could consider:

Hello and welcome to this forum!

Since this is going to be your fist build, it seems like you have read up and made some decisions before posting.
I see your base is a box mod, while your wife uses a pen which is a personal choice.
Your configuration should be okey, if I read the replies above correctly and our members are doing some good "cheap" recommendations.

Since you build seems viable it comes down to preference and choice.
I hope you have also chosen a liquid which is also dependent on your need (nicotine or just a pleasant flavour with or without throat hit)?
I personally almost forgot since I over focussed on my build.
I also assume you've read up on direct-to-mouth and direct-to-lung.
