Nah, skinny has nothing to do with it. In fact the people with the most lung capacity are often skinny (see freediving)
A lot of trick vapers are skinny, too.
You should definitely get into ohm laws, even if you're lazy, and start with simple builds on a regulated mod.
This is crucial for your safety and health.
Especially ohm laws seem confusing at first, but are stupidly simple once you get around it.
It's basically just figuring out how low you can go and stay safe and then calculating your build.
There's 2 ways for the calculation:
- Either you figure out how low you can go and then do a build for that
- Or you want an output of a certain watt, calculate what ohm that would be, check if that resistance would be safe, and then build for that watts.
For example let's say I know my Gorge works incredible well at around 60 watts.
I want to use it on my single coil mech squonker with a single 18650.
60 Watts at 3.7V is about 0.23 ohms. (
R (ohms)
= U² (V)
/ P (Watts)= 3.7² / 60 = 13.69/60 = 0.22816 )
For safety measures, calculate power output at 4.2V (fully charged 18650), which is 4.2²/0.23 (
P=U²/R) = 76.70 Watts. I know the Gorge can take this, so that is fine. Now I calculate the maximum Amps (I) this build would draw.
This is calculated by dividing 4.2V with your resistance (
I = U/R) or alternatively by dividing your Watts with 4.2V (
I = P/U), both work.
That tells me my setup would draw a maximum of 18.26A. Since I know the CDR of the batteries I use is 30A, that tells me I'm good to use that build.
If I would have batteries which can only handle 15A, I would not use that build
I hope that made any sense.
