Hey everyone. My friend just built me a beautiful .06 ohm coil In my new twisted messes 2 rda. To my surprise it would not fire on my smok gx350 until I realized that no regulated mod would fire that low in wattage mode. Can you guys please explain what kind of unregulated mech mod I would need to fire at .06 ohms safely. I use sony vtc5 30a batteries.
First of all, any mechanical mod will fire at whatever resistance you use. The trick is to keep it from blowing up.
So the first question you ask yourself is.. is 10 cents worth of wire to build a new coil worth the additional risk involved?
So the good news is, you have the right batteries. VTC5a would be even better.
Bad news is.. "safely" completely depends on YOU. What YOU know about your battery, tank, mod. How many amps is that coil going to pull.. how long are you going to be firing it? How long has the battery been stress tested for? How long between pulls?
Remember... the lower your resistance, the faster your battery heats up and the less time you have to react if something goes wrong, such as a stuck fire button.
On a single cell mod, that coil is going to pull 70 amps and nearly 300 watts. The max I have gone is a 56A draw at 240 watts, on a dual cloud coil build.
To be honest, you are going to find that drawing 70 amps is going to heat even your VTC5 pretty fast. It has been tested at 6x 5 second pulses with 30 seconds rest between fires and stayed below the 100C limit that Mooch uses as his safety net.
So back to my original question.. is 10 cents worth of wire worth the additional risk.
With mechanical mods, it is very literally all on you to know what is safe for your level of expertise. Given that your friend built the coil and you did not buit it yourself, in my opinion, no, a 0.06 ohm build would not be close enough to any acceptable risk level to use. But like I said, it is all on you to decide.
*side note.. I only use 0.07 ohm when building a competition level build, they don't really give a decent vape, just a shit load of cloud and no nicotine (0mg pure VG for those builds) UNFLAVORED!
