[FONT=arial, sans-serif]I'm getting my first rba and mech mod soon. Just a question to ask.
Let's say if i make a 1Ω coil and run it on a mech mod with a freshly charged AW IMR 18650, it will produce 17.64 watts.
According to some vaping charts that i saw, 17.64 watts is hot and beyond the safe level of vaping.
So is it safe to vape on a mech mod or is there something more to it that i don't know?
Thanks in advance.[/FONT]
I don't know that you can get a 1 ohm coil anywhere, but you can definitely make them. If you're going to make one, though, why not just make one with a higher resistance?
Most of the tanks out right now have coils available ranging from 1.5 to 3 ohms, so you would tune your vape with a different ohm coil. A single 18650 battery will run anywhere from 3.2 to 4.3 volts, so the wattage is going to fluctuate as the battery drains. This is why VV/VW mods are so popular right now; because many of them will allow you to set the desired wattage or voltage you want at your coil and regulate it to run at that voltage/wattage through the life of the battery's charge. For mechanical mods, you can get a regulator (whose name escapes me at the moment) that goes inside the tube with the battery that you can set to regulate constant voltage also.
Personally, I vape at about 7-8 watts, through either a MT3 or a ProTank, depending on the mod I'm using. I have a VAMO V2 and a iTaste SVD, and their calibration is a little off between them, the SVD wanting a little more wattage to get the same vape as the V2 at 7.5W. Most of what I've read says that's going to be the best range for vapor production and taste without burning your liquid, though. It starts to get pretty nasty once you go too much higher than that.
Good Luck and Happy Vaping!!
