whatever it is, it sure doesn't look like a high discharge battery. It would probably pop the protection circuit on the first vape, wouldn't it?

Yes. It most certainly would. That's a flashlight battery. One toot and it'll go poof.

It would do something LOL I wouldnt want to be around for what happens though. I highly recommend not buying that for anything except its listed uses....It is not safe!


@Gear101 Buy some Samsung 25Rs, LG HE2/4's, Sony VTC3/4/5's and not have to worry about it, most builds will still have headroom with any of these in a parallel mech, and better results in a regulated mod. They re also cheap, I saw that Interstate Battery is almost 10 bucks by itself...You could get 2 of them 25R's or HE2/4's for that!

I sort of want to get a few LG HB4, they can pump out some serious shiggity-boo-yah!

But, I don't ev
en have a mech mod yet, so sorta pointless for regulated maybe.

I want to grab some more HB6's I have 2 but I dont want to kill them anytime soon since I went to great lengths to get them...I would like to get some REAL VTC3 and 4's also...All I see are fakes and Liionwholesale.com has them and are authentic its just Ive been happy with the 25R5's that I havent bought anything other then those...

They have 2 in stock

Im sure they are not Authentic. The Authentic HB6 were only made and sold to one company and they didnt sell singles, only packs for specific devices. Those batteries would have had to come from a premade battery pack if those are real....This is why you dont see any at Liionwholesale or other places that only carry Authentic batteries.
I am sure if they are decent then they would be HG2 Rewraps

From the website:

"We have just a few left of the HB6 - all are display batteries from trade shows and may be imperfect in aesthetics, but none have been used."

I may have to order some and do a comparison vs the ones I own...
Im also ordering some VTC3's and HB2's from LWS right now, Ill add those HB6's to the list

Thats why i shot ya the link, probably of little interest to most since hb2's are out there too and they only have 2

i just ordered a couple vtc3's to go with an Origin clone and Patriot RDA clone i ordered. never used a mech mod but i am excited to try. looking forward to furthering my skills. aside from not building below 0.13 ohms, does anyone have any advice for me?

Buy a Ohm Reader, its a must for building to check for Shorts/Resistances
Make sure to keep your contacts clean on every piece
Only use Hybrid Mods with Protruding Positive Pinned RDAs
Do not build lower then .3 Ohms for a Tube Mod (atleast until you are more advanced)
Start slow, try some easier builds to get the hang of how a mech works...your build is the wattage/voltage control and your results will be your baseline to adjust.

thanks. i already have an ohm meter, and multimeter. any particular builds you would recommend to start?

If you can I would suggest Dual Coil- 2 x 22G/40g-46g Fused Claptons, 3mm ID/6 Wraps.
Its one of my personal favorites..
Its in my Griffin RTA and in my Twisted Messes RDA, they gunk up slowly and clean up nicely. I have a pair that have been used everyday for almost 5 months now.
Griffin New and 2 weeks old:

On an Origin clone? Aren't they single battery tubes?
That build, using 2x22K/40N (or 46N) draws about 47 amps...

putting it in the steam engine it says the build should be 0.16 ohms and pull 26.25 amps
nevermind, it only showed one coil. yeah, thats way too low.

On my Snow Wolf with Dual 5 wrap 2x22K/46N60 Fused Claptons shows .13 Ohms (32.31A), unless your running a Parallel mod, Regulated or own LG HB2/HB6'sor Sony VTC3/4's on a Tube, Single 18650 Mod

If your running a Tube Mod change the 22g to 2 x 26g or 2 x 28g as there a bit more mild in current needed.

i put the build in my royal hunter on the sigelei 150w. came out to 0.2 ohms and pulls 21 amps at 88.2 watts. that should make a good first coil to start. i may make a dragon skin and try that since it has such a high resistance.

I FUCKING DID IT!

yeahhh maybe the f word isn't necessary... Hell .. Yes it is! I fought this damn build for a week! I GOT IT! HAHA! I made that alien wire MY bitch.

Took Schmucko's advice this time.. Thanks buddy.

Only did two cores, 34 gauge not 38 alien.. But I DID IT. Now that I can do it right, I'll work my way to three cores and 38 but I need more 26 Gauge after all that trial and error...

Took too many photos. Here you go..

Well done....I gotta get on that game when I get some mid-30g wire in, all I have is 30g and 38g left (well enough for something like this)....I want a dual 2 core alien build in my griffin....

It took me forever. But after I got it done I feel better!!! Time to experience the vape for a while hope it's worth it.

I had 9 wraps on it... It didn't fit in my velocity! Had to remove one to get it to fit. Too hot on the noisy cricket so it's sitting on the IPV at 95-115 watts. Flavor isn't anything amazing right now.. That may be the coffee overpowering it though.

That's where I'm having trouble they jus don't line up that way unless I pullthem into place which I usually end up smashing the coils or breaking the legs when I do that ... Any tips or tricks ?

Sent from my LG-ls990 using Tapatalk
Hi, not sure if anyone has already said this in the next 100+ posts as ive not got that far yet but wanted to help with your issue.

You are putting the legs of the coil through the positive and negative holes on the same side which will make it very hard to position it over the air intake.

You need to posotion the left negative to right positive or right negative to left positive. This will help you keep the coil over the centre of the holes.

When you build the coils leave the negative longer, put legs of coil in posts and posotion the coil over the air holes.

Tighten down the positive then adjust the negative leg to suit and pull through any slack before tightening it down.

Hope this is of some help.

congrats dude. fantastic job. as for the flavor and vapor, a few fewer coils centered by the air holes should help a great deal. keep at it and experiment some more. keep it up.

I just didn't know if it was vapable because of how big the wire is so I figured I would ask you guys what you thought about it

You could increase your ID... But nothing really to add as far as other wire goes for increasing the resistance... It's unfortunate, that's the same reason I still have about 200' of 20G Kanthal sitting at home... Can't use it on anything regulated in my possession, and building it to get resistance high enough for it is too much..


The problem with these large gauges at least for me is the wire itself is so large that at least before I got my velocity I didn't have a deck large enough to increase my ID and even adding wraps was near impossible.


But I love 20G when I just wanna throw clouds around and set off my smoke detectors.

A single coil build at 7.5 wraps, 3.0mm ID would put you at about 0.11Ω pulling approximately 38 amps.

And doesn't SS work in TC mode? I am not experienced in TC but it is my understanding that TC mode fires considerably lower resistances. Maybe you can use it after all?

So I have a fused inside of the double vision, the noisy cricket vape harder than my Sig 150. Just unbelievable.
Whats that ohm at? I got a .3 24n80/32n80 dual coil and its a freakin monster.... havent touched any other mod since i got it a week or 2 ago...

Fuchai doesnt have ss setting for tc tho

Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
I may have misquoted...I meant in reference to the minimum firing resistance parallel between the snow wolf and the fuchai at .05... I have yet to work with ss, although I am intrigued at the claims of a "cleaner" taste. So to clarify, Ss is only usable in power mode on the fuchai and not on its nickel or titanium temp settings, but the snow wolf has this capability. And if so, wouldn't adding a wee bit of ni to your coil setup allow the fuchai to recognize the ni and unlock that setting allowing you to A: use ss in tc, and B: potentially build lower than .05?

Not really sure... Ive only run ni in tc mode in my herekles on the ipv4 and it sucked. Running ss in power mode now and it is definitely much crisper. But the value for the koopor i couldnt pass it up
