Not sure if my setup is dangerous

[stols001]

Oh wow, thanks for the info, I will stay far, far away. Although, to be honest? If someone wants my identity and credit score, they can totally *have* it, they aren't going to get much out of me other than the (ever-shrinking) amount in my bank account, my pitiful savings, and a bunch of bills sent to their address.... However, Identity recovery is never fun, I might be tempted to just find another identity myself.

Fortunately, it has not happened yet.

They didn't go after their credit scores.
They fraudulently used the card numbers for purchases. Its been ongoing for years.
Do not use MFS.
Very bad juju associated with them.

I think the OP is saying he's never vaped before. I know, it can be confusing when you see a 200-300w mod, you think people actually vape at that setting. Without trying it out and learning what is comfortable for you, the numbers mean nothing to you.
You can vape at 10watts on a 300watt mod. TBH, if you're used to cigarettes, I suggest for your first puff, that's where you should start. You'll probably end up coughing a bunch even at 10w. It takes most people some time to learn how to inhale differently. Most people settle down at around 15-20w, although with coils like the tfv12, you'll need more power to get the same amount of heat.
Start at 10. If it's way too low, go up a little bit. Keep going until it feels right. Maybe in a week or a day or a month you'll want to go higher. You can just change the settings on your mod and do so whenever you like.
If you try to start out at 100w... besides just hurting your lungs and throat, you'll probably never want to vape again. Like I said, you can vape lower power no matter what the mod goes up to. The 300w only means it can go up that high, not that you must!

I totally agree with you, it's good to start low & work your way up.
I still do the same thing now as I find it helps slowly break your coil in too.
Definitely wouldn't recommend vaping straight out at 100 watts, besides it making you cough a fit. It doesn't do the coil any good!

So true, especially with those premade monster coils, they behave much better when they get a chance to "wake up" slowly at first.
btw, to OP, when people say "prime your coil" they mean add some liquid before you put it in the tank. Just some drops, then see if the wick seems saturated. Make sure not to add too much - you only want the what the wick can hold. No extra pools of liquid, otherwise it won't be able to heat up effectively. Then put the coil in the tank, put the tank on the mod, and fire for a few seconds at low wattage. If it seems like everything is going swell, fill up the tank and raise the watts a bit at a time until you get to where you want to be. It seems like a lot of extra work, but totally worth it. Your coil will perform better and last much longer.
As far as batteries go, as everyone else said, cancel the efests if you can. Since they're rewraps, you never know what you're getting. You really don't want to blow up your face.

Totally agree, an definitely ditch the efest. I use Samsung 30qs, they seem fine for up to 120 watts but I think if I was pushing high wattage I'd go for LG HD2's.
Definitely wouldn't wanna push the Samsung to 200 watts with a cloud beast!

Actually, I think the 300w is simply what they say it will go up to. Apparently, imperial watts are different than ours.

Apparently the HD2 according to mooch are advertised as 25amp but are actually only reliable for 20amp. I really cant find true 25as LG hg2 20a, some people say its fine and some people say it will kill the batteries. Only time will tell i guess

I don't think it's a good idea to vape a 20a battery at 200+ watts...

 

[listopencil]

No, it was MFS, just trying to remember what that stood for. They had several security breaches with folks finding their credit card information compromised. At least that was the speculation, and MFS did finally send an email out the last occurrence.

The OP might be one of the few where subohm high juice consumption won't matter if he's already mixing 300 ml of juice a day. The only cost then are the coils, which for a tfv12 are not cheap.

Yikes. Thanks for the heads up. I did use them once for coils. I have a lot of fraud protection on my credit cards. I get notifications immediately from several sources on several platforms every time one is used. But it can be a pain in the .... to resolve. Luckily the only times it has happened were with Capital One (resolved very quickly and efficiently) and Barclay (more time and effort involved) and I wasn't liable for anything. I'll look around for other suppliers next time.

Im actually thinking of between 130-180W if that makes a difference

I think if you get some Sony vtc5as you'd be alright

20a usually suffices...

Sony's battery division was bought by another party. I don't know if that included the name Sony for the batteries, or if that company will offer them under a different name (Murata).

The same Murata that used to be inductors, filters and all sorts of ferrite magic?

 

[Eskie]

The VTC5a is rated at 25A, 2,500 mAh by Mooch. @Bonskibon posted a useful chart of test results of recommended batteries by Mooch on page 1 of this thread [URL="https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/threads/not-sure-if-my-setup-is-dangerous.812601/#post-19739575"]Not sure if my setup is dangerous[/URL]

Got me. I only know the purchasing company name from the press release on the sale. No idea what else Murata makes, but what you're describing makes sense as to why they would be the buyer.

Yes, it looks like they are bigger than I remembered!
Products | Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Yeah, they look big enough and are already in the industry that the purchase makes sense.
