First time using mech mod

That's another thing I wanted to know, would I be better off with a bigger amp battery or higher ohm coils, so I can stay safe

It's a trade off between higher amp to build low & lower amp & run time. High amp batteries have less capacity. Build coils to the CDR amp rating with a percentage of headroom.

Then there telling lies if you want the best cells available with the correct ratings get to fogstar

The one I seen I'm almost certain it said samsung

That's what my problem was, because I'm so used to getting pre-made coils that come out at .1 - .12 I just thought about keeping the ohms the same and just upping the battery amps, but if I can get a similar vape from a .2 build then I can do that, do i still need bigger amp batteries tho or can i keep the Samsung 25r

There is no CDR rated 40A battery regardless of what it says on the label. If in doubt check out Mooch & his thorough testing of nearly all available cells. The ratings he gives following testing are the figures responsible vendors like Fogstar & 18650.co.uk use.

Then take your premade coil put it on a coiling rod/screwdriver and add a extra wrap from each leg instead of cutting them off and check the resistance on your regulated mod as you might get away with using the same coils [emoji6]

Samsung 25R are rated to 20A so no. Use Sony VTC5A, Molicell P26A or Samsung 20S/25S if using 18650. As you can use 21700 cells then Samsung 30T, 40T or Molicell P42A.

Stop hanging onto your £3 battery's like your married to them they are no good for a mech and if you have the option of a 21700 you should take it as there better all round so don't think about saving a few quid when it comes to a mech safety is more important

I only use wattage on my reg mod, but it's on 80 watts, volts say ( when I pulse it, it says 2.73 )

I'm guessing if you add an extra wrap, to each pre built coil, you should end up close to this. You 25R isn't up to it. But a 20s will do the job. And it's about the same as your regulated vape power.

Even tho those Samsung's say 30T and 40T, I take it don't mean 30 amps and 40 amps

First of all these 25r's cost me £12 when I first bought them, and I've already said I'm happy to use bigger batteries if it's safer for me, if I get the 21700's do I still need to up my ohms too
