Subtank Mini with Evod2 Battery?

[OloolO]

Hi, first post here!

So, I am vaping for the last 2-3 months now and am so happy to have been able to stop smoking regular cigs. I have been using the Evod2 Starter kit.

Now I have received a Kanger Subtank Mini and am planning on buying either the MVP3 or the istick 50W. In the meantime I have built a 1.5 Ohm coil on the rebuildable deck of the Kanger Subtank Mini and am using this with the Evod2 battery.

I just watched PBusardos Video on the guy in a cloud chasing contest and his mod exploding. I am not planning on subohming with this current setup until I get a MVP3, but I am a little afraid.

Am I safe with the EVOD2 battery?

Anyone, a hint will do!

Also forgot to mention that the evod2 coils that where with the set were 1.5 Ohms, same as my subtank build.

Hi OloolO and welcome to ECF!

I couldn't find the amp rating for the Evod 2, but if the kit came with 1.5 ohm coils and yours is 1.5 ohms, then you should be fine. Perhaps someone more familiar with the Evod 2 will come along to verify.

Happy Vaping!

Hi there,

I'm new here too but i have since read up a lot about vaping and watching youtube videos like you did.
I'm sort of a tech geek so i tend to pick these mechanical & electronics stuff fast.

Kanger fan here too

I helped you calculated the Amp usage at 1.5ohm, 3.7v. Google steam engine caculator.
Anyway, Amp drawn is only 2.47A. Cant find the rating for Evod battery, but even the lowest of IMR batteries have a C rating of 5 - 6.6C and Amp limit of 3.5A - 4A.
So you should be fine, firing your Subtank Mini at 1.5 Ohms.

Please use some other devices to confirm your coil resistance and give you battery a bit of headroom.
Even the small length of the coil leg makes a difference. Any lower then 1.4ohms, you may hit the amp limit of your battery.

All these are based on worst case scenarios, like false marketing of battery capacity, rating and also your device efficiency.
Hope you get your PV firing soon. Cheers

Your Evod will not fire if the amp load is too much or if the ohms go low. You will be fine with your EVOD

I've never noticed the battery portion of my various stick batteries getting hot. It's usually near the electronics or connector, or a single spot such as where the ground wire contacts the casing. These devices do usually have short circuit protection and, failing that, I think the electronics would melt down before the battery itself.

You have a REGULATED device. That means it will NOT fire anything its battery can not handle. It will shut down first. You have NOTHING to worry about. When people get into trouble is when their device is not regulated and their Amp load is HIGHER than the batteries Amp load capasity. When the battery is pushed past the Amp limit a chemical reaction can start to happen and the battery will start to vent. If continued at this capasity then the battery can actually explode. Even then hopefully they would catch the clues the battery is sending out and hopefully stop the reaction before it gets to that point, but sometimes if ignored or pushed explosion can happen. That is why it is very important with a unregulated device to know Ohms Law and do the math for each build so you can insure your not pushing more amps than your battery can handle. If your not good at math, they have simple free applications like the one called OHMS LAW. You plug in your build specifics into the app and it does the math for you. It will tell you how many Amps you will be pushing with your build. You should know your batteries well and their limits on a non regulated device to be safe. I hope that explains the process a bit and helps you understand a little better. Also hopes this helps you see your not in this kind of danger with a regulated device. Best wishes. Hopeople this helps.

Wow! This forum is great! Thanks for your time.
Well, I guess better safe than sorry.

No problemo bro. I agree with the replies above. EVOD is safe, if you start building or getting wild with your atty's it will put you in check with error codes or not firing. Even top end mods like MVPs and Provari's in the regulated realm are STILL REGULATED. For example when I used a Provari v2.5 back in the day. I could only have an atomizer no lower then .70ohm, and if your atty was that low you could only fire it at 2.8v or it would give you an error code any higher. This digi devices are very safe.
