Best battery for mech

[Debbiej]

ive been using a dotmod for the past month. Found I like vaping .1-.15.... but battery life is so short. Using VTC3. Wanted vtc4 and brick and mortar guy said he uses VTc3 for builds as low as .07........ crazy I thought but he swore that it was safe. He had a sell on them he said.
I'd like a little more battery life. Understand with one battery it's not going to be much but something has got to beat the 5 puffs I'm getting now. (That might be exaggerated, but you get the point). I don't wanna switch back to regulated mod.
Which battery will give the best punch plus a little more life?

he's an idiot. don't listen to him.

1st off never build lower then .15 on a mech. no single battery can handle more amps then that

.15-.2 builds use an LG HB series battery (HB2, HB4, HB6)
.2-.25 Samsung 25R
.25 or higher LG HG2, Samsung 30q (best battery life with the set up out of the 3)

Guess I like the warmer Vapes. I'll try to stick around .15 and buy some LG4 or 6. I've never heard of the 6. Thanx for advice

4.00 each and it's a great site to buy from. many members here myself included buy our batteries from them

Since you like to build low I would advise getting a parallel mech box.

VTC3 is 28A
HB2/4/6 are 30A

[email protected] is 60A that B&M guy is an idiot.

Even with a parallel box I wouldn't go as low as 0.07

4 bucks.....wow. Thanx for telling me about this site. I ordered. Gotta send a check. Hate that, I don't have a pay pal account.

I believe it increases amps by 1.5 not double IIRC so it would be 45 in a parallel box. I could be wrong though

 

[nightshard]

That's why I said I wouldn't go down to 0.7

yup. we agree the guy at the shop is an idiot. which sucks because new vapors need advice,

I used to drive right past Fry's Electronics.
Once I made the mistake of stopping in.
Now all the employees know my name.
I feel like Norm from Cheers there.

I picked up a noisy cricket a few months back. Think I'll dust it off and play. These dotmod tubes just look and feel great. Just wish I could enjoy the cooler vape. Maybe I should try different Attis. I've used limitless rta, the new gold petri rta and velocity, tsunami rda. I'm sure though that it wouldn't effect it as much as the builds. I've been using aliens

The Cricket is pretty awesome if you like a warmer vape. It works great with the Indestructable RDA if you can find them in a combo deal. Built quite well for a $20 atty and hits pretty hard even with a .5- .6 ohm build.

 

[IMFire3605]

Yeah, safest on a single battery mech is 0.25ish ohms, dual parallel mod about in the area of 0.1 to 0.15, dual series you are up at 0.56 lowest so keep that in mind. Also a note about the LG HB series battery series, they knock the VTC3 on its tail, and the HB6 runs about 20C degrees cooler than the VTC3 at full 30amp load, and IMO the best 30amp battery on the market atm, can't get them the HB2 and HB4 fill in nicely though run a bit warmer than the HB6.

How do you figure he is an idiot? A good percentage of vapers out there will vape regularly from .06 to .08 on a tube. I know because I'm one of them.
Also I'd like to ask if you know of any reports of a battery venting from a low build directly to please share them.
Thanks.

.06 build at nominal voltage is drawing 60 amps... that's asking ALOT even from a vtc3
