Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[FlamingoTutu]

well I was going to make a post asking if anyone has found a battery case that will hold about a dozen batteries with the lil elastic strips.....but......I think I may have found a great idea, but wanna see if y'all think this would work well...and also to share it if it will in case others might need the same thing. Not sure how loose/tight these straps would be for holding batts. I need to hold 18650, 18490 and 16340 ones.

May not get this exact one, and may need to contact the company to see, but am wondering if I can put a 16340 under an 18650. But even if I needed to use both upper and lower spaces for the 5 18650's, I should at least be able to double up with the 18490's and 16340's.

Ha! I got suckered into looking at all their cases one day, they're pretty cool. I wouldn't "stack the batteries in there though, if I'm reading that right. I do think there is a good market if someone made some decent battery cases instead of the same old hard plastic rattle-and-bang 2-4 slot cases. The rest I'll leave up to those more familiar with the size of batteries you're talking about.

I'm the same way with my posts. Generally don't see the mistakes until it's way too late and they've been up for a couple of days. As far as small errors in spelling (Bells) it's usually with words that aren't easy to sound out and are very common for misspelling. I don't know why they don't show up in the spell checker unless I accidently allowed them through a few times and the spell checker thought that they were correct because I told it to.
As far as ohmage of my coils I really haven't noticed much difference between 1.4 - 1.6 or 1.8 ohm coils. I normally adjust my wattage until the vape feels and tastes the way I like it and don't even concern myself with the numbers. In the temp control world I wish someone would post a table giving the scorch points of the various wicking materials. That way I could kind of threat it like I do the non-TC coils and just remember the upper limit and then adjust as i want as long as I stay below the scorch point. Does that make sense?

Same with me about the spelling errors. I also need a spellcheck that will pick up on the missing words/brain farts.

I eventually remember that I can fiddle with adjustments, yay me! I did notice a difference, at least for a while, and I'm sticking with it so I don't touch that stash.

If you can afford it RTD has the HG2 for 8.69 I think and if you buy 2 they come with a case. I think they are 30amp 3000mah. Best batteries I have ever used.

 

[2legsshrt]

Oh and to get 1ohm with Ti you have to go 22wraps

 

[2legsshrt]

Just sayin if you want to use Ti you need to have a mod that will fire down to .5 or so lower if possible.

 

[Myrany]

Not sure what batts ya'll need, but here's a pretty good $ALE.

Is that another overseas supplier?
If so I am not sure I want to muck with getting them through customs on that end. Its been a mess with fasstech for awhile

 

[Myrany]

Just don't forget. Gearbest is China.

yeah not sure I want to muck with that. I am always afraid of another customs mess like Fasttech has had with batteries for years now not to mention the question of weather or not the batteries are legit or clones.

I need about 5 18650's, and had planned on at least two of these for the woodvil, but since I vape over an ohm, I may get all 5 in these. Haven't had a problem using flat tops in my grands so far. Just was wanting some aw imr's for the metal reos. But that's a great price and so many have bragged on them ugly brown batts lol Dunno if I'd wanna try recovering them or not.

Can't speak to titanium, but I'm sure someone will.

But I suppose you can build a KF to anything you want. The question is more how low is the low ohm cutoff on your power source. While the topper won't care, if the mod sees it as a short (i.e. too low a resistance), it just won't fire.

Of course, a low Ω coil without enough air flow can make for a really harsh vape... and that might be a factor with a KF, since you're not going to get massive airflow with those.

I've used a 0.3 ohm coil in my Kayfun at 12W, was quite good.

Edit: It was a build to prove a point that resistance does not matter on a regulated device as long as the mod will fire it. (Quad parallel 32 gauge)

Are what provape recommends and they are 20 Amp continuous

Guys I am replacing 2 year old panasonic batterys that are 10 Amps continuous and frankly have seen better days.

Then that is out the window. I'd be having more coil than wick!

I have a Hana DNA40 with TC. Just curious, & not wanting to buy a special tank or wire just to play. I really don't want to subohm, just curious about it, & flavor.

They use paypal processing. You can use a regular credit card.

Ummm... 3D Ken's Batt Shack Rack?

Ok all you folks using Fasttech, how are you paying. I cant use Payal, the only other payment option it is giving me is something called Bitcoin. I don't have any bitcoins laying around here............halp..........

Yeah, I doubt if I'd go below .8. Or around there.

 

[MikeE3]

IN my non TC coils that is the value I aim for as well. Seems to work best on just about any device. Now that most of my devices will handle a lower resistance I am thinking about dropping to a .9 - 1.1 ohm coil. They seem to work better at slightly higher wattage and give me a warmer vape that I prefer. That's one of the things that I am not liking about TC. I can't seem to get a warm enough vape out of it.

If you're using a regulated device ... why go to low Ωs? Just up the power setting on a higher res coil. Low Ω-ing came about from the mech mod cloud chasers.

A 1.5Ω coil will draw about 2.8 amps at 12 watts. A 1.0Ω coil will draw about 3.5amps at 12 watts. I'd rather drain my battery amps slower and get the same vape.

If you're not adverse to plastic cases ... I've seen folks using an ammo case to carry/store batteries. Google 20 gauge shotshell cases or look on e-bay

Not sure what batts ya'll need, but here's a pretty good $ALE.

Nope ... call me skeptical ... but I ain't buying 1/2 priced batts (brand named or not) from a company call GearBest in China ... nope ain't doing it.

I have a Hana DNA40 with TC. Just curious, & not wanting to buy a special tank or wire just to play. I really don't want to subohm, just curious about it, & flavor.

Kenna ... go for it with the KFL-Lite. I was told you can't use it in TC mode on a TC mod because of the airflow. I did and it worked fine for me.

Thats a good price. I need to get 4. I have quite a few AW 2200mah their new one and they are good but in the SX flat tops are easier to get in. I even have 4 I haven't even used yet. They are 20amp and are kinda expensive the LG is a way better battery.
