Safety help

[Zach hayes]

Just bought my first mech mod I haven't used it yet but it's an AR mod that takes a single 18650 I bought genuine vtc 5 batteries and a nitecore charger because of what I've read online about safety and I'm good at building my own coils I've been running a plume veil on a istick 50 and I'm just wondering what other safety precautions I should be aware of before use

Hi Zach. I can't answer that, never used one or had an interest, but I do like to read stuff. I used the search box in the upper right above your name and avatar for this:

Good luck in your vape journey.

Know Ohm's Law and give yourself plenty of headroom when building.
Your Sony VTC5 is a 20A CDR battery.
Perform regular maintenance on your mod, taking it fully apart and cleaning it.

Hi @Zach hayes, what @Susan~S said plus get yourself an ohm tester if you don' have one already.

What would be the minimum ohms I should run at to be safe I usually use a 3 strand parallel at. 3 ohms

You can look up how hard you can run your VTC5's in this table...

Forgot to mention, a fully charged battery is 4.2 volts. Don't discharge them down too low. I usually recharge when they get down to 3.6 volts.

Having a DMM (digital multi-meter) is handy to have when using a mech mod to measure the remaining charge on your battery and for troubleshooting other problems.
