Offbrand, need advise

[Metmorfin]

Okay, I just want to be sure about something.
If I were to, let's say. Purchase a tfv12 cloud beast king, from a cheap Chinese website with slow shipping
And vape it at 220watts.

What would the possible dangers be.
Because imo this tank seems as sturdy as an official smok one, doesn't leak, and looks official. But it's not

I just want to be sure before I blow my head off with this ....

Burnt wicking material, maybe harsh dry hit, depending on which head you use.

Well so far nothing of that has happened, but then again I only took 3 hits

The tfv12 will not blow up, it is the batteries in your mod you might have that kind of safety issue with.

IMO, if the tfv12 is performing well, I would just keep an eye on it the first weeks of use, more carefully the first couple of days and then less afterwards as you gain experience with it.

If you are using a decent regulated mod with good, authentic batteries that can take the amp draw you are putting on them you should be quite safe. Do you buy your batteries from a known good source and do you know their amp limits and how many amps you are pulling from them?

Lol
Im just saying most of the stuff is made in China - So coming from a website in China probably gonna be the same thing right? I saw this post cause I buy off brand stuff, like there are those Puff disposables that are going around, not sure if you seen the ones lately in stores but those look like Knock off galores lol -
so - just saying I don't think it's that off….

If you are concerned with blowing your head off, it's not the tank you should be worried about...it's your batteries. Your main concern should not be anything right now except the following...

• how many amps you are pulling when you vape using those coils at 220W
  
• making sure your batteries are rated for that many amps (if you are vaping above your batteries' amp rating, you are asking for big trouble and therefore you COULD blow your head off regardless of the tank you are using).

Well I checked how many amps it puts out and its 43, I'm not sure if it's high or not. My batteries are 2 18650 Samsung batteries in a smok alien 220w

I have no clue, and just thought it would be a smart idea to try it, but I probably should've read into it more before trying.

I hadn't touched the tank in around 2 hrs. But as soon as I just tilted it a little a big stream of the liquid drooled out, and I feel kind of sad that I wasted my money

You need to know the exact model of Samsung batteries and then check what the amp rating on those batteries is.

I checked and it delivers a constant output of 30 amps. So I'm guessing 43 is indeed too much in this case. Which makes sense regarding the superfast battery drain

If you're referring to the amps displayed on the screen, that is a worthless 'output' amps, it has nothing to do with the actual battery input amps.
Output - from board / regulator internal circuitry to tank/delivery device.
Input - from batteries to board/regulator internal circuitry. This is what is important, the actual amp draw from the cells you're using.

Samsung makes various cells, with various mah & CDR.
The exact model is important to know.
Should be letters & numbers signifying which model the cells are.

See my reply above, I checked it out and for one battery its 30 amps. Not sure if its supposed to be more with 2 batteries, but I'm not taking the risk anymore before I know more

 

[Topwater Elvis]

So which exact cells are you using?

I did see your reply above before posting, you didn't answer the question.

 

[Metmorfin]

So which exact cells are you using?

Sony US18650 VTC6 3000mah

Turned out it was Sony not samsung

 

[Topwater Elvis]

The VTC 6 is a 15a CDR cell that can be used up to a maximum of 20a CDR if cell temperature is monitored & not allowed to reach 80c.

This is eeh, rocket science to me, the only thing I think I found out is that I guess 20amps is the most to be acceptable?

 

[Metmorfin]

I do really want to thank you all for helping me this swiftly

20a, Only if, you monitor the cells temp to ensure they don't reach 80c.

 

[puffon]

...so using those cells in a 2 battery mod, don't go over 120 watts. Lower would be safer.

Look at Baditude's blog under "Regulated Electronic Mods":
(9) Battery Basics for Mods; the Ultimate Battery Guide | E-Cigarette Forum
and Mooch's video:

 

[UncleJunkle]

Sony VTC 6 is a 15 amp cell as rated and tested by Mooch. Disregard any "max ratings" as you are no tin a position to be pushing batteries to their max. You need to stay within (preferably way under) your batteries' ratings.
