moving to mech mod - need help

Hi ALL,

hope this is the correct place to get knowledge

I am been vaping for 3y+ with regulated mods, always wanted to use mech mods and now I am going to change.still don't use mech mod (ordered from the US waiting for it to arrive)

I started to build coils for RDA/RTA and use them to vape on regulated mods and on unregulated semi mech mods (Soulkeeper). so. far the coils ohms are .13-.17 (28-30AMPS) and using Samsung 30T (35A)
Im quite spectacle using 24GA and up since Im afraid they won't be strong enough so I did all the coils with 22GA (around 4 wraps on 2.5-3mm).
my question is , I use ohm calculator to check the AMPS but I always use the max voltage of a battery when its full (4.2V). I want to know what happens to the battery when it gets drains espesely when my coil 0.13 is close to the limit of the battery AMPS.
I need to know from experienced mech vapors since Im not

Thanks in advanced

With mechs as the battery goes down you will feel it and usally it's not as good of a vape so you will remove the battery for a new one. You will notice the drop well before your battery drains to low

HI,

Understood , so as the voltage drops also the AMPS which is logic

Thank you

Welcome to VU. Welcome to the world of mechs. As long as you are building in respect to ohms law and calculating at max voltage to find you amperage, you should be fine. I love mechs. I don't have many regulated mod actually. I hope you enjoy the experience as much as I do.

Also, I'm a huge squonk lover. I get the vape of a mech, but the convenience of having a juice bottle instead of having to drip. Boot trying to push you into it, just giving you an option that I, myself, enjoy.

Anyways welcome to VU, glad to have you here

I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested

Mechs and squonking is a very deep and expensive rabbit hole. Not that I would know or anything.

It's not expensive, it just takes allot of money.....haha

Sounds like you have researched ohms law, which is good. You've also picked the 30T which is a true 35A battery and a good choice, they hit hard too!

If you decide you enjoy mechs just keep in mind that a lot of batteries out there are overrated by the manufacturer. I don't build to my batteries max amps, but stay under to be safe even when I know it's an accurately rated one like the 30T.

Remember battery hygiene - check your wraps upon every removal and reinstall. Oh and keep your contacts clean.

Keep in mind that the .13-.17 builds that you are using now will hit different on a mech. You can get a rough idea of what the power from your mech would be in watts on the calculators out there and compare to what wattage you enjoy on your regulated mods and go from there. That's only a starting point though as every mech I've used hits different, there are different factors like contacts, etc.

Lastly remember that you have no chip protection anymore, that's on you now, always check everything twice.

Be safe and enjoy, mechs are a lot of fun.

Also remember that the vape from a mech is soo much different that a regulate...at least to me. 50w on a mech , to me, doesn't feel like 50w on a reg. Mech vaping is a purer form of vaping.

Back when I was just getting into mechs someone described it to me like this, a regulated device is like driving a brand new car with all of the technology, vaping a mech is like driving a 68 Chevy with the pure feel of the road in your hands and lots of raw power. To this day I still think it's a great description

Yes sir. That is a very apt description. Perfect.

The real difference is that on a mech you get a DC signal discharge off the battery (a constant voltage on the coil)

With any regulated mod the chip will always use some form of pulse-width or frequency pulsing trickery to give the equivalent wattage on the coil (you CANT get more voltage off a battery than it has but you can create an 'equivalent' pulse-frequency signal)

Even though it was only 15Watts limit, i believe the provari had one of the highest frequencies on the market at 600Hz. Probably the DNA200/250 can match that, although I remember Zen interested on buying the patent on their chip went they were going bankrupt for his own use and he deemed the provape tech as better than Evolv (for power/wattage at least)

I have seen the math for it before but cant point to them right now

You will feel it when it is time to change your battery. The trick is learning not to ignore it and keep pushing the battery. After a while, you will get to where you can pull that battery and it will be within +/- .02v

Mechs provide the best repeatable and most dialed in vape if you spend the time learning your gear, experimenting and finding out what works for you. 22g NI 80 is awesome for a mech and gives you real options to find out your perfect build range for your vape style. Some people can live with a ramp, some want instafire. You can have either with 22g NI80.

About the only time that I will use a regulated mod anymore is if I miscalculated my build and its too high of resistance and I don't want to change it or to check coils and work out hotspots. If you are going to be chasing chinese mechs, stick with ones that are very well received so you can make sure that you have a decent experience.
