Questions regarding battery saftey

[edyle]

So what does voltage drop do? Just make it so it doesn't produce as much power once you hit too low of ohms? So if you have a little higher subohms you get more power to the atomizer which in turn heats it up faster? Or what exactly does it do? So you'd preferably wanna build higher than the resistance of your battery and mod so you get more power to the atomizer each draw?

What does voltage drop do?
Well voltage drop basically WASTES your power.
You have a loss of efficiency.

You might vape 2 ml on a 2 ohm coil before your battery goes from 4.2 down to 3.6;
then only get 1 ml on a 0.5 ohm coil on the same battery starting from 4.2 and going down to 3.6;
because in the second case, alot of your battery energy is just being wasted in warming up the mod and battery;

Now I've never tried, I just jumped directly in to subohm because my local shop told me thats the best. Would it even be possible to run a 2 ohm on a mechanical and still get a good tasty cloud. Not super huge clouds, but decent enough and warm up fast enough to taste good?

When using an unregulated mech, you need to know/figure out the correct ohm coil for the gauge you are using, because your voltage is fixed.

For 28 gauge, its about 1 ohm coil
(When somebody says they're running 0.4 ohm 28gauge on a mech unregulated, that would usually be two 0.8 ohm coils in parallel - dual coils)

For 30 gauge, it should be around 1.5 ohm coil
for 32 gauge, I guess that's around 2 ohm coils.
For 34 gauge, that would be the 2.5 to 3 ohm coils.

So if you want to run a 2 ohm coil on a mech unregulated, try 32 gauge single coil
or try two 3 ohm 32 gauge coils in parallel which would be a 1.5 ohm dual coil.

You won't get as much cloud with them (unless you add more coils as in triple and quad coil but then the combined ohms drops to 0.75 with 34 gauge 3ohm coils in quadcoil config).

Right now I'm running 26 g dual coil .5 ohms, with a sony vtc 5 battery, may or may not be real, I'm trying to decide.. haha But the battery usually lasts me about half the day but I've got 4 batteries, 2 sony's and 2 lg he2's. I have a mutation x v2 on its way in the mail, and I may try a quad coil with some 32 gauge at .7 ohms and see how good it vapes. I'm guessing with more surface area, and more air holes, it should vape pretty well right?

Yes I'd expect so.

Well hey I just want to say thank you for your time, you've been more than helpful in many ways and I am happy I discovered this forum.
