Need help, new to vaping.

[WiCKeDx97]

Hey my name is Matt and I joined this forum to look for some help. I like to buy top of the line and at my local smoke shop I was recommended an 18650 hell hound mechanical box mod @150 watts. I also bought a vortex atomizer for the tank and some juice for it.I bought two batteries and a charger for them. I charged each one for about two hours. I out the liquid in the tank, hope I did it the right way, filled it about 65-75% full up to the line. I screwed on the tank and put the batteries in after I let them charge for a couple hours. I hit it sometimes I barely get some smoke and sometimes I get no smoke at all. Any help please???

If you only charged your batteries for a couple hours, they're probably dead. New batteries need a good while to charge depending on your charger. What charger do you have?

Idk I only had a couple bucks on me its an 8$ single battery charger. I'm going to charge the battery for about 5 hours each and try again. Someone else is also telling me I need to charge the batteries..ill keep you updated..

Yeah...your batteries are dead my friend.

One: you don't want smoke to come out. That would be bad.
Two: when you buy at a vape shop they usually charge extra because they provide face to face help.
Charge the batteries tonight and go back and see them tomorrow.

Personally I would dick punch the head up their ass salestard for suggesting an unregulated mod, and a single battery charger to you.
But then again that is just me.

Mechs for the price and learning curve should not be the starter kit, a decent regulated should be.

Completely agree with BigNasty. If you don't know ohms law, and some basic electrical, you could blow your face off with a mech mod. You should have started with a regulated mod. Highly unimpressed with your vape salesperson...

a vape shop should have sold you fully charged batteries and made sure you were set up before you left

I figured out my problem. I was so frustrated. After I charged the batteries it still didn't work so it made me think it was the tank..which it was..the middle piece in the coils was wet, I had a replacement. I put the replacement in without getting it wet and tried again and now its working right. Is the other atomizer trashed or can I fix it?

Seriously, do yourself a favor and get a good regulated mod and a 4bay charger. Using a dual battery mod with 2 batteries on a single bay charger is a TERRIBLE idea.
a good regulated mod can be found for 50$ and under a 4bay charger for 15-20bucka. Go back to the mechanical mod after you figure out a few things and get your bearings. Seriously.

Yes the coil head is trash

No, it isn't just you.

You'll pay up to half again more at a local brick-and-mortar than you would at an Internet store. A good deal of that is because the local B&M has staff to give you personal assistance. This one did not do right by the OP, IMHO.

Agreed.

To the OP: "I like to buy top of the line," "my local smoke shop" and "I only had a couple bucks on me" are almost certainly conflicting conditions. You must pick two (This is not a vaping thing. It's pretty much true of most things you seek to buy.)

HTH

What batteries did that schmo sell you?
If it has fire in the name that is not a name that is a fucking promise of what is going to happen.
if the battery is unknown mp draw and unknown amp pull from the unknown ohm f the atty you are treading into very dark and dangerous waters with a dance with Darwin.

Listen to @BigNasty and the others here while you still have 2 hands, MECHs ARE NOT A BEGINNERS TOY you can get a nice regulated box with great performance online for a whole lot less than the hospital bills will be. PLEASE!!!

OH and welcome to V/U WE CARE ABOUT YOUR SAFETY

 

[WiCKeDx97]

Thank you and no there's no battery's with the name fire. The brand I have is efest. Should. What kind of batteries should I buy? And I mainly bought a vape for 2 reasons.. 1. I smoke too much pot since I've bought it I haven't smoked and wasted money on it and 2. I want to cloud chase. It seems nice. The tank I bought doesn't seem gkkd for clouds.
