Question on Resistance vs. Battery when using SLR dual coiled RDA.

[mikkolangot]

Hi, I recently got a Trident rda by Grand Vapor. I build a dual coil setup with 3mm silica wick and 30g kanthal wire. It gives me 0.4 ohms and using a Kamry K100 mod (Empire Clone) and a Efest 18500 IMR battery. My question is, Will the battery can handle the resistance of my atomizer well or I should use 18650 battery for that setup?

How many wraps is that for 0.4 at 30g?!

I don't know the amp limits on that batt. I CAN however suggest one that WILL handle that load, all the while staying cool.

It's a 4/3 wraps on double looped silica wick.

At 4v you're pulling 10 amps. Not sure what that batt is rated for but I bet you're pushing its limits.

MNKE's are one of the best performing while still having high amp discharge

The one on my local vape shop also recommend that battery.. He let me use to try his MNKE, I can see the difference vs AW and Efest. I'll give it a shot next time. Thanks.

mnkes on my natural with a .35 ohm dual coil i can chain vape 10 times and the battery is still colder than a harlots soul

I think the amp limit on the 18500 AWs is 8 amps, in which case you are pulling more current than the battery is rated. I'd really suggest at the very very least an AW 18650, but even then you'll be pushing it. Something like the 1600mAh AWs (can push more current than the 2000mAh ones) or MNKEs would be your best bet if you plan to vape at such super low resistance.

I like Orbtronic for batteries, too. However, they have been OOS on 18650s for a long time! Just this minute, I ordered some 2900mAhs from RTDVapor, a respected battery vendor around here, I gather.

Wait, those have been sold out for a bit? Man am I glad I caught Bishop posting about these and jumped fast!

Yep. They were my main source when I nearly became a flashoholic, so I was already familiar with them. Been needing some more now that I've become a vapeoholic!
