Has anyone got any idea what the maximum safe amperage you can push from a Vision Spinner 1300 mah would be? I have a 1.4Ω microcoil in a protank head. If I were to vape it a 3.3v it would be running at 2.4 amps, and 7.8 watts. Is this a safe level of current? If so, how high can the current (amperage) safely go?

Your not suppose to go below 2 ohms on that spinner. You could damage the battery. Even the bigger VW and VV mods don't like to go below 1.5 or so. But for sure not the Spinner. Other more expensive mods have protection and will not allow you to use them below their safe range. So if you keep using that low a resistance you could damage the battery.

Now, I keep seeing that stated anecdotallly. Next will be the person who says it won't fire below 1.2Ω, so that's the safe limit. Is there actually somewhere with some technical specs?

Good point Scarey. I just tried my 1300 mAh Spinner with a IGO-L and 1.6 ohm micro coil and it was fine. First time I've done that too. Very nice vape actually!

I know I can use Twists at 1.5 ohms and that they shut down a bit lower than that. You put them on a charger for a few seconds and they come back to life. They are supposed to have a 3A limit.

But I've got no reliable specs on either. Hopefully someone who does responds.

IIRC, LiCo li-ion batteries are typically rated at 2C (2 x mAh = amp limit). So a 1300 mAh battery should be able to deliver ~2.6 amps. Some PV electronics may limit the available amps also.

If that is the case, then staying at the low end of the voltage should be fine. Honestly, any higher than minimum is too harsh when vaping a PG heavy liquid, like I have at the moment.

I think the universal limit is 1.2 ohms. Anything below that and the Ego style batteries treat it like a short circuit and won't fire.

For safety sake, I would simply assume that the amperage limit on the cell in the unit is 3.0a until one of these manufacturers start disclosing the full technical specs of the batteries.

I have a vision spinner 1000 mah, with an RBA and a .7 ohm coil in it. Yes .7 ohm and it fires all through the voltage range, though I vape it at 3.3 volts. It IS a Vision brand 1000 mah Spinner and both my lava tube, and my Tesla confirm that the coil is .7 ohms. I actually did this on accident, and for the hell of it wanted to see how it would vape, and the ONLY device I have that would fire it is the Spinner.

It's pulling, 4.7 amps, and 15.5 watts at 3.3 volts. I know I have to beating that battery to a quick death, but it really is a great vape. lol

That can't be safe. Just because it hasn't blown your face off yet, doesn't meant it won't. I posted this thread with a concern about a 1.4Ω coil. .7Ω on a spinner, even with a lower mah rating, is not sane. Build a new coil. Don't become a statistic for the media. :blink:

I never said it was a safe, or smart thing. I was just stating that it fires. I am normally right at 1.5 ohms and have been there for quite some time. It's where I like to be. I have used 1.5 on an ego-c twist 900mah and my Spinner with no issues. Neither of them get hot or drain to fast, no issues...

I do appreciate the warning and concern though, thanks...

I will receive a new mech in the mail tomorrow. That's the only reason I haven't tossed a new coil in that particular RDA.

Right on. In your first post, it sounded like you were doing it all the time. There are people who would do that...

Just because it fires doesn't mean its firing at anywhere near the voltage set.

Vision spinners (most if not all ego style batteries) have a 2.5 amp limit.
When you reach or try to exceed 2.5a the protection circuitry automagically reduces the output V's to a level that protects the battery / person pushing the button.
Unless the amp limit circuit is damaged or malfunctioning there is no way any ego style/size battery will actually output 4 amps.
