Is it safe?

[Citizen]

I feel like a complete dummy asking this question. It's almost one of those "if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't" things.

Anyways, here it goes.

I'm running a rx200 with three LG HG2's (married). I made up some twisted wire using three lengths of 26g 316L SS. I was looking to run a dual coil set up using a couple of these guys but from what Steam shows I'll be dangerously close to exceeding 20A. Am I reading this correctly? Am I missing something? I tend to stay away from building low as I'm not one to play around in danger town when it comes to batteries. Ask everyone in my house, I just went through and rewrapped everybody's batteries today if I saw the smallest of nicks in the wraps.

Dual coil. 6 wraps. 3mm ID.

Your fine in a regulated mod. Hope you get a good vape from the coils.

What he said^^^

If it was too low to be safe, a regulated just won't fire it. Ohm's Law doesn't apply with regs. The chip does the thinking.

Well damn. That's good news. I'm well aware that all regulated mods have a minimum resistance requirement. *[analogy removed because it made no sense] The thing I've always been wary of is that the mod has no idea of the amps limit for the particular battery/batteries used. Well alright then, so what you're saying is I've been checking my builds against a calculator for no reason... Oh well. It's still fun to see how close you can get to your target resistance.

Good practice to do so though matey no harm in it plus you'll find you get a better vape from them if you do because the chip won't be limiting you so much

It's true that the chip doesn't know your batts ability, but chips do have built-in amp limits, volt limits, and/or low-voltage cutoff. The coil resistance isn't a factor, since the chip adjusts voltage to give the set wattage. 65w to 75w per batt is generally recognized as safe, with good 20A batts.

For regs, use:
Watts ÷ Nominal Voltage = Amps
ex. 75W ÷ 3.7V = 20.27A

Keep in mind that you are "pulsing" when you vape, so even though it appears you are pushing the batt's CDR, you really aren't because the discharge isn't continuous from max voltage to min voltage.

Did I make any sense? lol

Yes it did. Vaping nicely I must say.
