problems with Aerotank on Mech mods

[Mark Sodapopinski]

A few days ago i purchased a smok Magneto to replace a Vamo in the beginnings of going mechanical. I currently have 3 Aerotanks i use for work, home and out and have served me well. When connecting any of the aerotanks to the Magneto the battery get very very hot instantly and sometimes i get a hot button. one has a the original base, one has a replaced v1 base & one has a replaced v2 base. ive tried new coils in them all using 2.0ohm and 1.5ohm kanger coils.

i have gone to 3 shops trying all the aerotanks on a series of other magnetos, m16's & and stingray and all give the same results.

Why is this?

Really a aerotank on a mech mod? Can you even do that lol? That's alot of power fir a kanger tank I guess in theory with the 510 it fits but why don't you get a rba or rda for your mech mod and leave the kanger to the spinners

TOTALLY unhelpful and disrespectful post!

Mark, I have tried my Aerotanks on my Nemesis and they all work fine. Being you have tried changing coils, and have tried your Aerotank on many other mods with the same results it's puzzling to me. Hopefully someone will drop in and have some ideas.

That's strange, I have a magneto but I don't use it with my aerotanks. I'll have to see if mine does the same.

Power is a function of voltage and resistance. At the same voltage and resistance, a mech and a regulated mod put out the same power. You "can" output more power with a mech because you don't have the same current and resistance restrictions as you do with a regulated device.

Example: A mech with a 2 ohm coil and a fully charged battery puts out 8.82W, as does a regulated device set at 4.2V.

please do id be very interested to hear your results

The problem with the Aero tanks is that the positive pin does not extend past the atomizer's 510 threading. When placed on a mod that has a wide center pin, the mod's center pin dead shorts to the 510 threading of the atomizer.

Mark, I wouldn't mess any further. If the Aerotanks worked fine on the Vamo they should also work ok on the Magneto. I have three Aerotank Megas which I constantly interchange between the two Vamos I still use from time to time and various mech mods. As you have only had the Magneto a few days I'd return it to the vendor for a full refund as it obviously has a direct short circuit somewhere.

So i modified the center pin on one of my aerotanks raising it using an isolator from a blown cloupor coil. Just waiting for my local vape shop to open to test it out. Hopefully it works cause id really like to have the sleek small look of a mech mod for my tanks and yes build an rba very soon

I suggest avoiding mech mod on KANGER PRODUCTS,there's a reason why kanger make there Own coil heads.. Now if u rebuilt ur kanger coil heads then go ahead use ur mech.. You have to remember that kanger coil heads are not meant to be vape on mech mod unless u rebuilt ur kanger coil head.some people use mech mods on kanger techs yes that's true,but I really think that you should stick with a vv or vw mods..
Mech mods are for RDA RTA..IMO

I have to disagree with you, solely on the fact that kanger now makes coils down to 0.8ohm

My post was not meant to be disrespectful not my intention never heard it being done but I see how it sounded that way see computers And no emotions to read off of!!.......silly computers

So my plan of changing the height of the center pin worked. All you need is a small pietof rubber to raise the height of the center pin. I also ended up purchasing a nemesis by hcigar since changing from 18350 to 18650 mode is my much easier. I also ordered a kayfun thru the store so yes i will be building an RBA. For now im happy my existing setup works on a mech.

Yes I know.. But 0.8 is till high,still not considered sub ohm in my book,I normally vape .2 to .3 ohms using mech mods.my kanger .8 coils are no use using mech. I use my DNA 30 and seven 30 for my kanger coils,that way I can see and adjust the flavor or the heat of my vapor...can't you see what's going on? Kanger is trying to kill the mech mod business,with all the box mods coming out from china they kanger have to catch up in order for the ther products to be relevant and that why they created the sub ohm coils
AEROTANK mega,the AEROTANK giant and coming AEROTANK turbo 2 dual coil down to .3.
I mean seriously do you really want to use a mech mod for a tank that is not rebuild able? Think about it..

 

[Mark Sodapopinski]

did i miss a conspiracy thread?

First of all the reason we vape is to not smoke. To any new vaper they want a clean lung hit that will satisfy their craving. IMO the only two tanks worthy of using on any ego up to the VV/VW mod is a Nautilus or an Aerotank. Kanger is making their coils lower and lower for new people to the industry who dont have the mechanical and electrical inclination. "you wanna quit smkoing here try a zmax with a 1.5ohm coil" is just plain simple. Now i have gone and modded all 3 of my Aerotanks and changed 2 of them to 1.2ohm coils and wow is it great. The best part is if a coil goes back i have a nice "sealed" coiled in my pouch ready in case one blows while out.

I have a Kayfun coming and i will play with that when i get to it, but at least im still vaping like i was yesterday, a week, 6 months ago on the same equipment i had. Thank you all for the advise that led to me making this modification.

Um, this doesn't address any of the concerns the OP mentioned. Do you have any helpful feedback?

I disagree with this. Plenty of people use tanks with mechs which is why the kick is a useful item. Just because it's trendy to use an RBA with a mech doesn't mean it's the only type topper one should ever use with one.

edit: after reading your next post I would also like to add that mechs are not JUST for sub ohming & plenty of people are perfectly happy using them with coils above 1 ohm. Again, just because it's trendy to use them for sub ohming doesn't mean it's the only way they should be used.

@ OP, hopefully you get that center pin issue worked out with your aerotanks if that's what it is (which is sounds like it could be).

Yes I agree with you ,a lot of people use mech mods for non rebuild able tanks like the protanks, by them doing that a lot of people don't get the whole benefit of the tank and the coil,let me make this clear I suggest using a mech mods on RTA tanks genesis style tanks ,KAYFUN,taifun,aqua,etc...
For a protank I suggested to use a vv or vw, don't get me wrong on this.you get more regulated control when vaping on vv,vw,especially when you use it to sub ohm, the future of vaping is on the regulated devices..I mean seriously
You will buy a vaping tournament mod to use it on a protank? Really...IMO

I understand your point & agree that a mech's best qualities are utilized when used with an RDA. I also agree that with toppers using replacable coils (ie kanger) their best performance is on a regulated device. HSAT I don't like to see a new poster come to the forums asking for help with a legitimate problem & then get feedback telling him he's using the wrong stuff. I mean, if he were using the wrong battery that would be one thing. But I'd prefer to see the user get what he has working the way he wants so he can come to his own conclusions about what he likes using & what works best for him.

I use 1.2-1.5 ohm coils on a mech all the time & I'm perfectly happy doing so. And no, I would not buy a "tournament mod" to use on a protank. I've never used a protank. In fact I've only use a handful of clearo tanks ever in my vaping journey & I only used those because rebuildables hadn't been invented yet.
