And also at the builds I make are usually around 0.45 ohms. So at 8.4v that would be close to 157 watts. Witch would put my pulse at 18.67 amps on 2 sony vtc5a's. And that' on fully charged batteries. So tell me how is that unsafe? As I would be pushing 18.67 amps pulse on batteries rated at 25 amp continuous. And the cdr of 25 amps continuous is from mooch.
Yeah but you're running series not parallel, so you're about maxed out on the batteries. In reality you won't get many hits at all.
True but like some seemed to do on here is put it down or call you stupid. Not to seem mean but that makes people not wanna ask for advice.
Some may be putting others down, sure, but in most cases it's trying to push the importance of safety. Then there are people who like to kid and sometimes how it's typed, isn't how it's meant, that's why I try to throw in a lol or something to let people know I'm kidding (I do forget). In short you have to have a little thicker skin on here or any online forum really. There's some folks that thrive on starting up some heat or maybe had a bad day.
I've had loads of mods from mech to regulated. I still use mechs but I'm getting more into my regulated as I'm changing flavors (just work better at higher temps/watts). I'm going to be honest with you, after about a month (if that long), you're going to be shelving this mod.
Running series is better on an adjustable device, you can tailor it and get better battery life. A parallel mod would probably suit you better to give more life and could build a little lower to make up the voltage difference.
I'm vaping .19 right now at 75w and it's warm. I also build in the .3 to .5 range and have never gotten to 8v ever, just way too hot. Matter of fact the highest I've ever gone on .4 is 4.8v, hence why an adjustable works better. If it's too hot you have to tear out and rebuild, you're just stuck (opposite a regular mech).
Now if you're using a regulated device now at 8.4v by all means run with it but if you aren't, be prepared to change your position on resistance. I've seen people run high like you're speaking but that are few and far between, plus are running some crazy thick wire build.
