Rda/Rba info needed

[Skyfntm]

Hey All.

New to the forum, I have been browsing but can't find what I'm looking for. If you could post some links for me to answer my questions or answer them here that would be great!

ok let's start,

I am looking at getting a mech mod and a Provari and another vv device. I'm also lookin gay getting some rba/rda atomizers, hh357 atomizers, and some other style tanks. I guess you can say I have become a hobiest-ish vaper.

Now ow the questions I have are as follows:

- for an rba/rda I know that you can make it to the ohms that you want so that I can smoke it on the Provari which has a 1.5 ish limit if I'm not mistaken. With that being said, what would I d to get that ohm range for the Provari and what would I do to get that "sub-ohm" smoke for a mech mod?

- for a mech mod, how do you determine that the battery you are going to be using is safe to use with that 0.5-1.5 range rba/Rda? And also how does a kick factor in with this aspect if I choose to use a kick for the wattage variable vape.

Any information you vets in the vape community can thro this infant vaper would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advanced!!

ok so i have found my answers to the coil resistance question. atleast i beleave that i have a more gooder idea of it that is.

still looking for the battery safety question.

ProVari has a 3.5 amp limit, and it's not smoke!!

 

[Skyfntm]

my apologies on "smoke" word. you are correct it is vape. that wont happen again. and as far as the provari i was not talking about the amp limit was was referring to the ohm limit on an rba/rda atomizer which this thread was about.

 

[AlB53]

It might fire a .8 ohm @ 2.9 volts but won"t higher than that.

If you want to get similar performance to a sub-ohm, and still have it fire in a VV/VW, look into micro-coils.

Batteries: Most people here are just going to cut to the chase and recommend safe-chemistry high-drain IMR batteries.

Here are useful links I've accumulated:

Advice & Tips for a New RBA User

Provape recommends using only AW IMR button top batteries for the Provari, so that's already figured out for you.

For an 18650 battery mechanical mod that will be doing sub-ohm coils on an RBA/RDA, you'll need one of the following IMR batteries (in bold type) that has a continuous discharge rating of at least 20 amps:

AW IMR
18650 2000mah 10Amp CDR
18650 1600mah 24A

Samsung hybrid (LiNiCoMnP)
INR18650-20R 2000mah 22A

MNKE IMR
IMR18650 1500mah 20A

Panasonic ​or Orbtronic hybrid
CGR18650CH (IMR/Li Ion hybrid) 2250mAh 10A
NCR18650PD (LiNiCoAl) 2900mAh 10A

Efest IMR
18650 2000mah 10A
18650 1600mAh 30A

Sony
us18650vct3 1600mAh 30A
us18650v3 IMR 2250mAh 10A
​

I will say here, since you are a novice, I strongly suggest you not do sub-ohms until you have had consistant success using standard resistance coils first. Sub-ohms brings you into a grey area of safety/risk until you know exactly what you are doing. There's a lot to learn before even attempting your first wick/coil with a rebuildable. Much of the information is in the above links. Study, research, watch video demonstrations, then when you feel you are ready, take the plunge.

Totally agree with Baditude, we have been here so many times before, i would not recommend you to jump straight to mechs and coils etc. There is a hell of a learning curve involved, I was told decades ago not to run before i could walk, sound advice.

Do the research, learn and absorb, and enjoy your vaping along the way, theres always tomorrow.

My appolgies if you are not a novice but your questions lead us to believe you are a new vaper.

I have been vaping for a year now. That's one year without a smoke and I absolutely love to vape. I have progressed from the ego to an itazte vv which I love. Now I'm moving into a Provari and mech mods. I usually run a carto tank just because am a firefighter and it's not that hard to drop the whole unit in my pocket. And dripping at the station isn't fees able. Now I have quit dipping and the itazte just doesn't have the battery to supplement how much I vape. I go through a 3ml tank in 8 hours. These novice questions have been the questions that I have not been able to get the answers to in my research.

Thank you all for the links and the information. Any other information that you think would be related to my questions please post them.

Also I don't plan on going sub-ohm. I just like to know all aspects of everything before I attempt.
