I have to say I am confused by advice on Mech Mods I have seen. Even individuals seem inconsistent, one Youtube reviewer I watched recently in an old video was advising to build between 0.2 and 0.5 ohms, a year later the same reviewer was advising to build below 0.2 ohms. Looking recently at Creme De Vape I see the Beacon Telescopic hybrid mech for a very attractive price along with the advice not to use it for sub ohm builds. So 3 sets of advice (admittedly one for a specific device) but none of the advice fits together.
I have dabbled with protected Mech mods, my old Kanger squonk is running the beserker rda with a 1 ohm build on it and seems to operate fine. On my Wismec RX Machina I did notice improved performance under 0.2 ohms, or rather worse performance above 0.2 ohms, but was that down to the heat capacity of the coil rather than the resistance?
Obviously ohms are important, I don't want to be making a pipe bomb.. but keeping within the safe limits for Mech mods is it coil density rather than ohms that affect the warmth of the vape and enjoyment of it?
Are there any useful rules or observations to know to help those building for Mech mods, beyond simply safe resistances for batteries being used?
Editted to add:
If I was to get the Beacon Mech and put a Kayfun Prime on it, what build should I use? 1 ohm coil would be pulling something like 16 watts through it, which would be higher than I would normally go, but probably okay if I keep to higher PG juices and looked at getting my wicking right.. maybe using Fiber Freaks wicking? Would I be better off aiming for 1.5 ohms? using Stainless Steel or Ni80 28 or 30 AWG?
