vtc5 help

[truskme]

i can believe that stosh cause the top part of the sleeve of one of my vtc5's look pretty shotty and i can see a noticeable line going down
one side, im not sure if its fake but i wouldnt be surprised.
yea i was looking at rtdvapors, they seem reputable and have a wide collection of batteries. and after this second time around i automatically started researching the 2 cent fuse route, $15 but well worth it if it really works. anybody have any experience with the vape safe 2 fuse and know if it works with the vtc5? it says its guaranteed to trip if 6 amps or more is passed through it so im not sure, and since this is the reusable one anyone know how many times you can use it before it u have to replace it.

RTD is well respected for spot on genuine batteries, and decent prices. I haven't used the vape safe fuse, but they are widely used and respected. If your coil resistance is high enough that it wouldn't exceed 6 amps, a fuse would be a great addition.

A fuse can react in milliseconds, faster than you can release the fire button. Until you find the cause of the short, or over amperage draw, a fuse would save you headaches....

so basically your saying you cant sub ohm with the 2 cent fuse... like i dont get what 6 amps would be

 

[Stosh]

The 6 amps would be the maximum that the mod could draw before shutting down. If a short occurs the amperage shoots up over the 20 or 30 amps any battery can handle....the fuse cuts the circuit, goes to 0 amps.

Using a 6 amp limit, at 4.2 volts the lowest resistance would be 0.7Ω, but at least 0.8Ω would prevent the fuse from tripping intermittently if it that close to 6 amps.

well tahts good to head because i never go below .8 anyway, oh and on second examination it might have been my k100 that caused the hard short on both batteries cause there is a dent on the bottom thread of the cap of the switch, dont know if that has anything to do with it but both of them went nuclear on my k100.

 

[Stosh]

A dent out of place on any mod could be a bad thing, completing a circuit where it don't belong. If you can use the fuse with the coil resistance you prefer, it's cheap protection for your batteries and your face....

I order all of my batteries and chargers from RTD. Genuine products, great prices, and top notch customer service (including the ability to answer your battery related questions) make them my first choice for batteries.
