hi guys 2 days ago I bought tugboat rda and mech it's the one with splatter paint pairs 270 for everything I put a 4 wrap of 22 gauge kanthan on it . Ohm not sure my reader broke . I had another mech befor it with a dojo rda or whatever it's cAlled and got good At building but once I got the tug and put the build on it it hit amazing . Now 2 days later it seems to barley have power almost like it's taking a while to hit . I have 3 batteries always charged those samsungs . Can it be the build that is making it weak ? Cuz 2 of the batteries are only 1 week old . I'm really annoyed and debating of trying a new build can anyone help me pleas

If you don't have an ohm meter, I don't know of any way to help. Loose screw on the deck? Does the mod have an adjustable center pin that isn't quite making contact? I dunno. The first place to start is checking your atomizer. You got a buddy with an ohmmeter that's working?
It's a tugboat it don't have a adjustable center pin . I'm gonna try stop at vape shop to see the ohms but it just dropped the hitting power so something made it weaker : I thought the batterie but idk . Can the build go bad u think
The atty might not have an adjustable center pin, but the mod might. Usually, when a build goes bad it stops completely, it doesn't get weaker. If it's stopped completely, then sure, maybe the wire broke. But if it hits at all, then the wire is probably still good. Maybe a post screw loosened up or something so it isn't all making good contact. Maybe you dripped some juice down into the 510, or it leaked down into your mod, and dried there and is making a bad contact. If it's hitting weak, rather than not hitting at all, I'm thinking it's bad contact or a flat battery. Seems unlikely the batteries went south, certainly not all three of them. Is you charger broke, maybe, and they aren't charged? I dunno, dude. Keep looking. Take the mod apart and clean everything. Check the post screws in the atty. Make sure, if the mod has a center pin adjust or spring, it isn't sticky and not making good contact. Then reassemble it and see what happens.
Im assuming you're using the samsung 25Rs? I dont like the idea of using those in a mech, let alone when you dont know the resistance youre running. Whats the ID of your coils? 22awg with four wraps on a dual coil build could put you in the danger zone even for a vtc4. I would disassemble the build eithee way and i would wrap another coil without a working ohm meter handy. I would also use Steam Engine to project your reistance for the coils.
if you have a 0.3 ohm coil at 4 volts,
that works out to 53 watts.
if you get an extra 0.1 ohm on the mod from contact resistance
your wattage drops to 40 watts
wait a minute; that tugboat doesn't have a centerpin
it's one of those 'hybrid look' mods

Ya it don't have adjustable center pin its a tugboat mech and rda I went and bought new ohm reader came out my ohms were like .74 so re built it and dropped down to .16 and hits like a champ thanks anyways guys
Ouch, .16? Your funeral, dude.
pulling 25A for 110W from a battery that wants to stay under 20A giving it -19% headroom!
Do you know anything about ohms law? You're at a dangerous level if you don't have any idea of what you're doing. 0.7 ohms, that experience is normal, but a lot safer.
0.16 ohms at 4.2 volts for your battery is roughly 110 watts and 26 amps. That's ridiculous for a mech mod and your battery...

Even Darwin is like....DUDE!
Not to metion that at this resistance a big part of that power goes to heating contacts, threads and other things. Anything lower than .2 is not only dangerous, it's simply a waste.
Wat kind of batterie do I need to go at .16 ohms my vape shop said I can go that low with my setup
It's not the point. The resistance of a mod (threads, contacts etc.) is something in between 0.1-0.2, depending on the mod, materials, amount of threads etc. If you run a setup that's as low as the resistance of your mod, you think that power "knows" that it should go to the coil instead of going into "space"?
Your vape shop is what's wrong with vaping them. It's all "clouds bro clouds" with them employee with that mentality. They told you, you could go that low, but didn't explain anything about it? That's not a shop I would go to again personally. This is why I hate the majority of vape shops.
Sony VTC4 are supposed to be rated at 30A Continuous but you're still pushing 26 amps from a 30 amp battery. It's not much safe room to it. Honestly, I'd say go get you some 26g kanthal, build at 0.6 ohms or around where you were before until you read up on battery safety and ohms law. We don't need another "My battery exploded" story to be told on here.

Well I want clouds . Can I get nice clouds at .5? Just takes longer to heat right ?
