Mechanical mod safety tips

[GrimaVapes]

Hello everyone. So I have received my new mech mod and a true 30amp battery (LG HB4's) I have read extensively on mechanical mod safety like articles and multiple YouTube videos, however a few questions have not been answered and I want to stay safe while using something I'm new too.

1: How much amp "headroom" should I leave for my batteries? 18/30? 20/30amps? 25/30?

2: Can I use my battery until it is completely drained without anything negative happening? Will it strain the battery in any type of way?

3: Should I charge my battery fully to 4.2 volts or up to my nominal voltage at 3.7? What's the difference regarding safety?

I currently have a .28 ohm coil in my royal hunter RDA. It reads .28 on my iPV D2 and .2 on my smok ohm reader since it doesn't read the 2nd number. So I know it's at least .25-.29 ohms. That being said I know .25 ohms is 14.8 amps with 3.7 volts which is half of the amps of the battery. So realistically I could build down to .15 minimum with 3.7 volts? (25 amps) Or is that not a safe build. But then again on a full charge it would be 28 amps but won't the voltage go down as I'm using it?

PS: never was planning to build that low but I'm curious to know.

That's my big thread that should have most of your answers, along with answers to other questions you haven't thought to ask yet...

For safety's sake consider all of your builds at a fully-charged 4.2 volts - the voltage drop will be your headroom. I wouldn't plan on building something that's safe at the point your batteries are dead (in a mech you'll want to recharge them at 3.6), but something that's safe at maximum power and safer below that.

Take a look at the thread I've got linked above - it's 15 minutes of your time, 20 tops. Let me know if you have any more questions after checking that out.
