Morning all; Total Newbie on Mods. Just picked up a V2, Tec Telescopic and a Genesis mod. My question is since they have no circuit breaker far as i am aware, or no cut out system, can it blow coil easily if i attach a tank/clearomiser with too low ohms, also do i have to get an ohms reading on tank/clearomiser before i power up? And what reading on tank/clearomiser would be too low to use on mech mod? I have a couple iclear 30 tanks, will these be okay to use and not blow? Which tanks/clearomisers are best for the above mentioned mods? Sorry, bit of a technical moron here. Thanks in advance...
Can you Blow tanks on a Mech Mod????

yes its very easy to pop a coil if you dont pulse and bed it in. but just as easy to replace the coil. on prebuilt tanks such as protank, davide etc the coils are already set at stable ohms so really its only in your own built drippers and tanks that you can pop a coil ( popped a few myself when building normally due to hotspots )
really the ohms is all down to what battery you use and the batteries amp limit. on efest 18650 2000mah for instance they have i beleive a 15amp rating which is safe fr down to around 0.6 ohms.

Thanks pal. So an iclear 30 tank would be fine on one of my mods, the battery is an IRM efest 18650??

your iclear 30's wont work on mech mods mate, well when i say wont work they will fire but you'll get unbelievably bad performance from them as they are dual coil usually at 2ohm which when i use have to be pumped up to around 4.5 volts where as your mech will only run 3.7 without a kick of course, for a mech with a decent RBA you want to be looking at around 1.5 ohm and less for decent performance, i coil my rba's at between 0.8 - 1 ohm and this gives me great performance.
i would recommend you do some heavy research before even placing a battery in your mech mod as they can be very dangerous if you dont know what your doing, if you build a coil and it shorts your battery will expel too much power making it very hot and maybe even blowing up, every battery has a different limit on how much power or "amp's" it can consistently output safely, so you need to be aware of what batteries you pick. i recommend effest IMR.
as for atty's for mech, you have drippers such as the igo's, then you have genesis atomizers which require a mesh wick (i dont use these too faffy and sort of old technology imo, plus you need a blow torch), then theres your bottom coil rebuildable's such as kayfun, taifun, aqua etc. all these are re-buildable. you can in theory use any tank thats rebuildable in a mech but i find that achieving the desired low ohm's have negative effects on smaller tanks that arent built for mech's, for example i rebuilt a protank 2 to 1ohm a few month ago in order to use on my mech and it simply couldnt handle the heat, the rubber insulater burnt and the whole tank simply became too hot.
also yes 100% you need an ohm checker, NEVER EVER put anything on a mech without testing.
i know it must sound scary and im not meaning to make you panic but you do have to understand how it works otherwise it can be very dangerous. BUT do your research, get the right kit and you will be flying, i was new to mechs only 3 months ago and i also had a lot of homework to do but now i've learnt it all and know exactly what i'm doing i will never look back, i mostly exclusively use mech's now, 4 months ago i never thought i would say that

Thanks for the info mate. If i don't want to do the rebuilding coils/wicks myself, what pre-made tank would be the right choice for my above mentioned mech mods? Yes i will do some youtube research into mech mods. Thanks again for info mate. Cheers...

if you dont want to rebuild your own, your only real option is using a kick, this goes above your battery and can be set at a desired wattage. with the kick you will be able to use any 510 connected device on your mech, so that opens up everything really, with a kick you'll be able to use your iclear 30's, protanks ect. this sounds like your best option, there is a smoktech kick that goes up to 12 watts and its around £10.
there are two big downsides to using a kick however. first being that it makes your device longer which is just down to taste, but secondly and this is the big one is it severely reduces how long your batteries will last so you'll be swapping out batteries more.
Thanks again for info mate. This sounds like an easier option to me. I don't mind charging batteries more often. And definitely not too keen on the whole rebuilding coils/wicks scenarios as not too technical myself, bit thick when it comes to fiddling around with adjustments etc. Any sites you could suggest to me where i would get this kick? Myepack? Thanks again ....

Thanks a lot for info mate, cheers. I will be researching around the info you showed me now about kicks. Thanks for telling me about what kicks are for ...
