I started off as mechs when I didn't know much about Vaping, I've been using regulated for a while now and want to switch back now that I've learned a lot more. I was wondering if I can safely Vape the Samsung 25r5's with ohm being at .14 I am using a simple mech mod.

The thing is I love building around .1(#) something. I have mxjos but those are "35" 20 amp. I do not know where I can get some real vtcs if I knew I would. I know if I switched to .2(#) I prob wouldn't get as much Vape thickness or hot Vape. If you know where I could get some real vtcs that would be nice, if not what would be lowest I should go safely at 20 amp? At my local Vape shop a guy said .15

Okay that's what I thought thank you I will just hold off on my mech till I get those vtc4s o guess, I hear Vtc4s could go as low as .03 not that I'm ever going to do that is that true? I heard its up to a 15 second drag which would be hard to pull off

I really wish the misguided allure of a Freaking Copper(Steel,whatever) tube and a live power source would just go away..
Ive been there done it multiple times I just do not do it anymore...
not bashing ya man just go Regulated. Its the right thing to do

When I'm doing my trick videos I like the way my mech mod is just nice and simple get it simple not in the way. So I'll just be ordering some Vtc 4s doing a .14-.15 this mech mod isn't going to be used frequently just when I want to go to a cloud comp which I would like to start doing/videos. Other than that my sogelie will be in hand

Yes I have checked out info on every battery and how some/most batterys that say shit Are just rewraps thank you though, main reason I posted this is cause a worker at my local said .15 is okay so I wanted to come in here to double check it
If you are going to do it just use a VTC4 or VTC5
when I fire up a Mech that is all I use

Use the Ohms law calculator I put in the second post to calculate your build based on the max output of your battery.

Steam Engine. Why do people still not have it?

I do what makes you think people don't ?
What makes me think people don't?

This isn't an implication of you, just a general observation:

People come on here and ask what size coil they should build or if their batteries can handle what they've already built or are wanting to build. You can easily get your mod or battery's specs with a simple google search or in the app and put that info into Steam Engine or any of the other websites or apps that tell you these things and there's your answer.

I think it's easier than waiting around until someone decides to post an answer to your thread.

yes your absolutley, that's why I made sure I understood everything yesterday read about it all and it's all in my brain now now. That's why I just wanted to ask why the work would say .15. I did ask him today he said you can do it safely with small drags but you can't take long drags I'm just gonna stick with 22 gauge 3m 9 wraps .25 ohms till the vtc4s come in

"Only safe for short drags" = unsafe in my book.

I built a parallel 26g that was .3 ohms on the nuts. My box was capable of firing the resistance, but the ramp-up time on it was so slow... No more parallels and no more sub .8 ohm.

Would never run 25r's with that much current. Not only would it be dangerous, but pointless. You're losing a lot of the power to voltage sag. You're going to get terrible performance out of a way-too-hot battery. All that you're doing is putting yourself at greater risk by trading voltage for current.

I wouldn't even run VTC4's past 25 amps. Don't get me wrong, they're great batteries, but they aren't all that they're cracked up to be for that super-high-drain shit. 30 amps is beyond their optimal range and there will be a noticeable drop off in performance. Just because you can run them there doesn't mean that's where they want to be.

If clouds are what you're after, then you'd do well by sticking to builds that your batteries can power without struggling.

Right now, I believe the coolest running high-drain battery you can get is the LG HB6. If you want something that's really made for high-drain and nothing else, that's your battery.

I hear ya. I'm trying to tell you that the batteries you own and the ones on the way are not ideal for precisely that purpose. There are better, cheaper batteries if you want to build to .15 for short-term use. And since it's an occasional vape rather than your daily, you don't need the capacity of the VTC4 or the 25r. Ditch the weight and get the LG HB6 or maybe even the HB2. Many of the lower capacity batteries handle super-high-drain better. Even the VTC3 would be at least a little better than the 4.

More voltage for your current means higher wattage, which also means bigger clouds and a happier battery.

as long as you know what your doing you could technically coil down to .07 ohms for short puffs at 60A its just not recomended... as long as your not too close to that and your not taking really long drags your fine. it will be harder on your batteries though. i dont vape that low myself but know someone who says HB6's are hands down the best battery for super sub ohm vaping but i dont think they lasted as long for him than the VTC4's.

At 4.2v (fully charged battery), 0.21 ohms will pull 20A. I do not recommend taking a 20A battery to 20A repeatedly because 20A is its absolute limit, its not designed to be the discharge rate even though it "can" discharge 20A that doesn't mean that it should. It's like taking a car engine to its redline all the time, you will definitely shorten the life of the engine and your gas mileage (or in this case, battery capacity) will suffer greatly. Get a few 30A batteries and keep them all fully charged every day so you can switch your batteries out before the voltage drops to an unsafe level. 30A batteries should be fine at 20A.
