RBA/Silver Bullet Question

[matterdude]

I don't post much but I come here regularly for information. I've recently taken a swing at genesis style rba's and I've really enjoyed it. I'm using a smoktech RSST and a drawtube mech using AW 18650s with a 2cent fuse. I decided to put the RSST on my silver Bullet and noticed I was getting a hotter vape (maybe a little too hot) with the battery at 3.8 volts than on the drawtube. Does the silver bullet regulate its voltage with it not being a mechanical mod? Is this safe? I don't really plan on using it this way but it just made me a little curious.

Thanks!

Welcome , but you will notice ( in due time ) that some PV's just tend to hit harder than some . For that reason , I use certain PV's , with the devices that work on them the best . The SB is a very good mechanical mod . Probably the best one ever made IMO . You don't mention what ohm resistance your using . If you don't have a device , that reads ohms , you might want to pick up a multi-meter , and test your coils . Or it simple means that the SB , just hits harder than the other PV. Very common . Good Luck

Thanks man. I have a vamo and my current coil is coming in at .6 ohms. Using 28g kanthal and 400 ss mesh.

Your not alone in your experience. I've used my AGA T2 on my Silver Bullet. I tried the low ohm (sub 1 ohm) coils but didn't care for the hot vape either. When using my cartotanks I have found I naturally prefer a cooler vape and used standard or high resistance cartos in them. I'm currently quite happy using up to a 2.0 ohm coil, either on the Silver Bullet or my Provari.

Good idea of using that 2 cent fuse while using an RBA on a mech mod.

The Silver Bullet is a beautiful tube mod, but it is not mechanical - it has wires, solder, and an electrical switch.

The silver bullet is unregulated, but not mechanical.... It's a good mod, just don't vape SLR coils on it.

Peace of mind is a great thing! My go to is a 2.0 ohm boge carto in a tank set at 9-10 watts on the vamo. One of these days I'll get a kick so I can enjoy them on the SB again.

So am I reading this correctly? The SB is not a good device for the super low ohm coils?! I thought the SB would be perfect as a mechanical mod?! Can anyone elaborate any further? My apologies for the necropost!!

That 2 cent fuse fits in the SB quite nicely BTW. However with sub ohm coils you're bumping the hot spring in a SB pretty hard.
I have a 1.3 ohm coil in my RDA, and my SB powers it quite well. That's almost 2 less amps than what you are at with a 0.8 ohm coil.
