Thanks for the replies, I'm no expert but I understand most dangers. I will be using nothing below a self made 0.2 ohm coil build, that will be freshly made at least weekly, I have a number of batteries that I use for my regulated devices but read that these might not be suitable for mechanical. I would have thought my Sony vtc4 would be ok but was told NO only vtc5a !! Surely they are not the only batts you must use.
I will also be testing each build on a regulated mod prior to placing on the mech just to make sure I have no short etc.

Runeraven what do you mean by resin ?

Before any recommendation, are you ready for Mech's?
Have you done your Homework?

Here's my Lecture -

1. Ohm's law, http://www.steam-engine.org/ makes it easy and there's even an app on it for Android
2. Batteries, fucking batteries, take good care of your batteries and know them!!!!!!!!
a. Avoid shit batteries like eFest who rewrap with grossly inflated amp ratings. Stick with authentic LG, Sony or Samsung from reputable (not ebay or amazon) sources, great places to get authentic are from
http://liionwholesale.com/
https://www.imrbatteries.com/
b. Stick well within Continuous Discharge Rate (CDR) Not the "pulse"
c. Keep up to date with what Mooch tests and battery ratings, follow his posts on Facebook and his Blog
d. In Mod's with multipule batteries, marry them.
e. Get some battery wraps, they're cheap and easy to re-wrap batteries. Any nicks,tears or what ever don't be stupid and just re-wrap.
3. Don't build stupid low a good builder can chuck and get awesome dense vape from a good build. It's simple, with 20 CDR Amp batteries -
a. Single battery mod's you're fine with .2 ohms on up
b. Dual Parallel you're fine with .15 on up. Parallel you take the full CDR of one battery and you can add 1/2 the amp rating of the next battery
c. Series you double the voltage but you share the amp. So a series you build high with a lot of wire, no lower that .4 ohms.
4. Make sure you don't have any shorts. For an extra caution any new build I vape on a regulated mod for a few drips or with a tank about a 1/4 tank. This is to insure nothing wonky with my build or any shorts.
5. Careful if it's not in your hand, if it doesn't have a lock on the button and you pit it in your pocket (which I really don't recommend) insure nothing else is in your pocket and it's loose. Don't want to put it in your front jeans pocket and blow your dick off ya know
6. Last but certainly NOT the least, keep it clean! Clean it when you first get it "before" you even use it and clean it on a regular basis.
a. Ultrasonics are a very good investment, got mine off Amazon for around $25.

Thanks r055co I have read this a number of times I'm also in a telegram group that has mech users that have layed down the law upon me so I think I am ready to try mech now. I build safe and never too low, will also always be removing the cell when not vaping. I do not wish to be the next " that guy " but feel I'm ready to move onto mechanical.
I was hoping someone may have any experiences with the kit in general or know of any specific issues I may encounter with it.

Regards as always

OK, just checking. As long as you know battery safety, stay away from shit like eFest and know Ohms law you're off on a good start.

We just get so many "Clouds Bro" wanna blow huge clouds who can't even tell an amp from a Popsicle I always do a bit of probing.

Anyway what I recommend which would be a great first Tube Mech is this Broadside Clone -

I don't feel bad recommending this Clone since they copied the design from the Subzero and just added an inner delrin sleeve

For RDA's, you can find a few but nice combo would be this Cosmonaut

Before the VTC5A's I used VTC4's, there are a great battery. 23a with 2100mAh and still use them but I really, really love the VTC5A's. For 26650's I love the iJoy's, they're awesome.

The Shiva is an excellent Tube combo with the Baal V4. I don't have the Shiva tube but have the Samael with the Baal V4 Combo, love that combination. Gilbert really outdid himself with the Samael and the Baal V4. I've got a friend who has the Shiva combo, very nice.

If you've got the cash (it's not that expensive) I very highly recommend getting the Authentic (the clones are shit) Shiva/Baal V4 or Samael/Baal V4 combo.

Ah cool. This kit is already purchased and awaiting on gearbests speedy delivery service lol.
I only have 1 RDA mini fat Buddha that I love to bits but already now that it will not sit flush on the hatter so will keep that on my DNA 166 and I will most likely use the hatter kit as it comes.

I've ordered only once from Gearbest, took a bit over two months to get my Gear RDA, I'll never order anything from them again.

But if you're not worried about the time, you're good to go.

Yeah I've used them a few times and had only one occasion where the item was not delivered, As I did not take shipping insurance I only got a partial refund !! lucky for me it was not a substantial amount that I lost.

r055co what cells would you recommend on that hatter kit or will my vtc4 be ok ?

edit: missed your last post sorry. Cheers
