The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

[Doffy]

Should I keep it above .3? I watch a guy pretty often on youtube and I’ve heard him mention to keep it above that on mechs as a sort of loose suggestion.

Since I have “cloud chuckers” with the regulated, one option that’s crossed my mind is to mix up a higher nic% juice and find a single coil mtl rba/rta. Some of the more “high end” looking tanks I see people post would look pretty nice on a mech, you know what I mean? Like the taifun/kayfun, more oddball (not mainstream like a zeus x style) ones that you see around if you look hard. They don’t seem to be as easy to find as the popular tanks.

Something like that and then run at low amps. I hadn’t really even considered what to put in it. I have some dual 26/36 kanthal on a spool but I just got it so I’m not real familiar with how it ohms out. If I do go the mtl route I may go with round wire like you suggest, I think it will perform just fine and won’t need to be spun up.

I guess this is going to be a long post but one factor on my mind is, how do you accurately gauge battery life and when to swap your battery? Is performance steady and then drops suddenly, or is it a gradual decrease? Or is it something like, I know I get a tank and a half out of this battery and it will be at 3.5 volts?

That reviewer might have been suggesting that for Samsung 30q, at a guess. Some of the 21700 in particular can go quite low safely.

It is a gradual drop with li ion. Li poly are the sudden ones.
The xyz tanks per cell is easiest. Measure with a voltmeter every couple of hours to start. You'll get used to how long they run.

Either one of these. Or measure battery direct. Just until you get used to it

Oh hey, one of the ohm readers I have has a volt reader you can screw a mod onto.

Unfortunately it’s the one that’s not very accurate on ohms so I’ll pick one of those up. I’ve never tested the volt side of it, I wonder if it’s any more accurate.

Definitely snagging that, thank you.

I would rather pay 2.99 lol.

Better grab that dripbox before it is gone.

Aren't all high drain rechargeable lithium ion batts IMR? Button & flat top?

I'm going to assume that was sarcasm.

Dank only supplies empty packaging not product.

I knew that. I guess instead of calling them Dank Vapes cartridges...I should have said cartridges in Dank Vapes packaging.

Point I was trying to make after kross8 said DIY is safest...was that DIYing (eliquids) likely wouldn't have prevented the lung cases of late. DV packaging (like shown in the article) isn't being used for selling regular eliquids (according to the teens-20 something's I talked to). It's only used for packaging the "alternative" stuff. So it's not like people are thinking they're buying regular eliquid in the cartirdges...but getting something else by mistake. If they did think that, then yes, DIYing their own is safest.

IDK, maybe the teens and 20-something's were BSing me. I don't think so, but they could've been I guess.

I wasn't trying to beef with you sis. Just adding to and expanding on what you said.

GrimmGreen had a live feed about *** and *** a couple of weeks ago. Some experienced DIY *** extractors were in the chat explaining how skipped steps in the extraction process were leaving butane byproducts AKA one of the the cyanide components used in WWII fascist nazi death camp ovens. The cynical side of my personality believes they could be purposefully produced and distributed by Big Pharma to smear vaping. Anyone that doesn't believe that BP could be that heartless should investigate the previously mentioned gas ovens and other nazi fu*kery. It could be greedy homebrew ash*oles & it could also be BP companies' IDGAF division. IDK, just spitballing at a mighty big target of likely suspects.

I managed to grab a P3, thought a good one to add with the hammer coming down.

Feel pretty comfortable with my hardware, on top of the above, have a few more kayfun primes and a box full of different tanks and then about another 30 random mods

Not to worried about nic etc, as don't think the hammer will come down on that straight away, so have time to build them up next year.

1 video I watched ,,it doesn't appear to have an adjustable bottom pin,,, kind of important years ago for hybrid mech,, assume all mechs ?????? -just something to consider imho

So what is a hybred mech? I know nothing about them except I have the Ehpro and HiCigar versions of Nemesis.

The positive pin of a Hybrid Atty touches the battery directly. A traditional mech, the atty screws into a 510 connector and the 510 connector makes contact with the battery. A hybrid setup can short out if the positive pin of the atty is too short and the threaded part of the atty (the negative side of the connection) touches the positive on the battery. Here's two pictures, they're kind of big but the printing is small so I didn't size them down.

i hybrid mech just has a threaded hole, instead of 510 with pin. So atomiser connects directly to the battery

there are some rba made with 22mm threads too, to screw into mech to replace 510

Read Mike's post,, in a nutshell for me:

Attys (or adapters in this case) must have an adjustable bottom pin that protrudes,, otherwise I aint buying/using it

I use the Dovpo on my Bolt mech. I don't know much about which are hybrids of the newer stuff. I remember Ihy and Zen years ago but not up on newer hybrid whatevers.
