Hey, just looking for some tips on mechs.
A little background:
Started vaping about 9 months ago and been using rta/rda's building my own, simple, coils since. First mod was a Smok M80 which died on me after about two weeks, I got a replacement which also died after a few months, no replacement given. Been using a Coolfire IV 40w exclusively for the past 5/6 months vaping mainly diy juice.
After the second Smok died I decided I wanted something simpler and modular. Got into a panic when I dropped my Coolfire in a sink of water, it came out still working after drying out but left me craving one of the simple tube mechs to have at least as a back up. After months of daily usage the Coolfire battery is not what it once was and replaceable batteries are looking attractive.
I've just ordered an Xtar VC4 charger, two Samsung 25R 18650's and a Caravela style tube mod. The plan was to get charger and batteries this month and a mod next month but in picking up a few bits and bobs from fasttech the caravela thing looked too cheap not to give a shot.
Main concern is building within safe limits. Ideally I would like to be using my Derringer and I usually build 24/26/28 gauge kanthal single strand coils around 0.5-1.5 ohms, single or dual coil. I've also got a Lemo Drop, Cthulhu & Velocity. Is there a rough guide as to what the safe ranges are for the this sort of setup? is this a viable setup?
