Offbrand, need advise

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

Would I be able to use for let's say, a 30 amp battery. If I use 2 of those. Would it still mean a max of 30 amp? Or would it slightly increase though. And yeah, I probably shouldn't be pushing these batteries even close to the max, I've been vaping at 120 Watts the whole time. Untill I got this new tank

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 ....

As everyone else has pointed out, no doubt you do need to have some knowledge of battery tech & safety if you're using external battery mods.

But to your original question (if I understand it correctly?): I'd venture to say most ECF members have bought at least one cloned tank, including me. But really, most of those are clones of better, more expensive tanks. And most of the clones are of rebuildables, rather than tanks that use drop in coils. I wouldn't think it'd be worth it to risk a clone of a tank for which an authentic can be bought for mid $20's. But then Smok, although very popular, is widely hated around these parts for poor quality (mostly their mods, though), so a clone could actually be better than an original.

Like I said, the amps on the display screen is useless, it tells you nothing relating to battery safety.

---> Calculating battery current draw for a regulated mod | E-Cigarette Forum
The above is a basic explanation.
I have power devices that discharge cells down to 2.8v and some that cut off as high as 3.4v.
Because of this I use 2.8v as the low voltage cut off when calculating amp demand, most folks feel comfortable using 3v or 3.2v, whatever they know their 'mod' discharges cells down to.

A good 'safe' rule of thumb is;
15a CDR 45w per cell
20a CDR 60w per cell
25a CDR 75w per cell
30a CDR 90w per cell
But, only when using authentic cells bought only from known reputable dealers in a decent regulated power device.

So if you have a decent regulated power device using 2 authentic 15a CDR cells = 90w
2 authentic 30a CDR cells used in a decent dual cell power device = 180w.

The batteries must be equal/matched when used in a multi cell power device, same brand, same mah, same CDR, bought as sets, used as sets, charged as sets.

All I can say is watch Mooch's videos. I have no interest in vaping high wattage myself (and won't bother "preaching" to you... do what you want) Live and learn?

 

[vaper1960]

Forgot to mention (more about your original post) I have bought drop-in coils off e-bay and got a high number of defective ones (been there, done that... never again) Basically 3 out of 5 were crappy. Cloned RTAs, RDAs... yes, many are not bad at all.

By the way, SMOKTech is a Chinese (Hong Kong?) company.

Impulsively, I bought my first mod at a B&M, then I started reading, and reading. I still read every day. Reading is good, especially where safety is concerned. Not to mention info about China, their good and their bad.

Their re a lot of sub-forums and Youtube for reviews. Happy vaping.

I used a tfv12 king. Leaking is mainly caused by screwing the coil head in to tight. This compresses the bottom seal on the coil to the point of deformation and will leak every time. I'm not gonna add anything else to the invaluable information the others gave you about battery safety as they pretty much coverd it. But vaping 220watts? Here's what I will say. That mod MIGHT accidentally hit 200 watts on the first couple hits on freshly charged batteries that can output that kind of wattage and then your output will fall off. It does not matter what the watt setting on the screen says you have it set to. With that tank, you will get the best performance at around 125watts. All you are accomplishing by maxing the wattage is fast battery drain and shortened coil life. They will last a week at best when used at the lower wattage range. You'll be vaping burnt cotton in no time if you persist with maxing out the wattage. And another thing I noticed with that tank, and this was at the 130 to 150 watt range, was extreme heat production. And this is definitely not good for any battery. So do what you want, but by chasing that dragon what will you do when you catch it and it breathes fire in your face? Just sayin...

and Mooch's video:

This is exactly what you need to watch and read before you start experimenting @Metmorfin your batteries are wrong type for 220W
