Starting My First Build 26650

[xtremefilmzRY4]

Hi All,

Glad to be a member on this forum. I am going to retire from tanks here soon once all my supplies come in the mail for building. I think I will be fine; I have got a lot of advice from friends and watched lots of videos. Here is all what I ordered for my first build:

Hades Style Mechanical mod 26650
Tobh Atty V2 Style Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer
3 MNKE IMR 26650 30A 3500mAh rechargable high drain flat top batteries
LetterFire MD-203 Dual Slot Li-Ion Battery charger...this will work great so I can charge both the 26650s and the 18650s for my Kamry K200+ with an AeroTank2
Atomizer Resistance Tester Ohm Meter
Kanthal 28 AWG Guage A1 Wire 100' Roll .32mm, 5.27 Ohms/ft resistance
Nemisis SST 510 Drip Tip
Organic Cotton Balls
Plenty of small pliers/drill bits/snips/small screwdrivers
and about 50 different juices to choose from.

If anyone has any helpful comments, questions, or concerns, please feel free to comment. This is my first post.

I'll be interested to see how you like an RDA compared to "tanks" that you retire... what tanks?

Tobh is good for dual sub ohms coils and lots of vapor because it has big air holes compared to a tank atomizer RTA and other single coil atomizers...

but imo when you use very low resistance, dual coils, the flavor is not as good as some single tank drippers (Kayfun, Fogger, Spheroid etc).

For dual or even single coil dripper, the Magma can do either, and has air under the coil which I find gives better flavor.

Not that you won't enjoy a Tobh; lots of vapers love it.

Thanks for the reply....currently I am only using one tank a Kamry K200+ with an KangerTech AeroTank2. I love it but i feel like its time to take things to the next level with building.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!

Your list looks good all except the charger and the amps you listed for your battery.

1. Any battery/charger with "fire" in it's name is not recommended for use in charging mod batteries. Get the best charger that you can reasonably afford. Statistically most battery incidents occur while charging. Pila, Xtar, and Nitecore Intellicharger are the most recommended brands.

2. Your battery is only 20A continuous. 30A is the pulse discharge rating and should not be used in calculating the safety of your build.

Check out Baditudes blog posts below. He's our battery/safety expert around here.

Sounds like a good set up. I love my TOBH. Try 6 wraps on a 1/16" bit for each coil for starters. It will be about .5 ohm, which is a really good place to start. Good luck, and welcome!

As others have said that's a pretty damn good set up. The only thing, which has been mentioned above by Susan-S but can't be stressed enough, your batteries are rated for 20 A continuous discharge, not 30. Don't over do it. Be safe first and foremost. Getting the most satisfying vape experience means being able to actually do it and not blowing your mouth off.

If you are looking for a true 30A 26650, then look at the KeepPower battery. It is listed as a 50A battery, but again, that is the pulse limit. It is, however, listed in the stats as a 30A continuous drain limit.
Check my blog post on it. I have all of the stats listed there as well as a link to KeepPower's website where I pulled the stats from. Last time I checked rtdvapor carried the ones that I'm talking about.
