Ohms ?

Good Evening.

I have a ? regarding ohms and amps. I typically run an rda around .4 @ 10 amps. I bought the cleito 120 today and run it at 65 watts. The main question I have is in my Sigelie 213 it's showing 20 amps at 65 watts with a .16 coil. I'm running 2 Samsung 25r's. Is that ok? I've never went above 10 amps

I am pretty sure the first question will be what batteries are you using?

Samsung 25rs

is the mod regulated?? if it is then the mod will be controlling the amps...

 

[R2sojr]

Yeah it's a Sigelie 213. What you mean regulating the amps?

20 amps is the applied current that gets delivered to the atomizer. 65 watts at .16Ω requires about 3.22v and runs just over 20 amps. This is not where we need to look in regards to battery safety, however. Instead, we look at the amp drain on the battery, which depends on its charge state and the user-selected wattage setting. With a full charge of 8.4v (2x batteries at 4.2v each) 65w draws about 7.7 amps. At a low-voltage cutoff of, let's say 6.0v under load, it's still only about 10.8A, still well under the 20A limit on those batteries.

Awesome. Thanks I was going by the ohms law and what the mod said

As long as you're using good batteries your' fine. I'm pushing 123 on my rx 200 with three lg hg 2 and they're stressed.

Mechanical mods and regulated (electronic) mods use two different formulas.

Mechanical Mods: Ohm's Law Calculator

Regulated Mods:

• Calculating battery current draw for a regulated mod
• If using a high wattage regulated mod, use a 20 - 30 amp CDR IMR battery, which ever your mod's manufacturer recommends. The processor's amp limit determines the amp requirement in this application, not the atomizer resistance.
