Dot Squonk is Mechanical so what wattage does it vape at

[Dozwold]

Sorry, but I’m a newbie. I bought a DOTRDA and use it with the 75 watt mod. The squanker looks interesting as I would like to retain taste of dripper but do it easy. Would anyone know if I used the coils that come with the dotrda and the squonker, would it be safe enough to move to mechanical without testing ohms or anything like that? Also, would the battery give a stronger faster delivery then the current equivalent hit I get at 75 watts with mod. Thanks.

NO

You’ve done the right thing by asking, so good on you.

However, remember that in a mechanical mod there is no protection given by the chipset whatsoever, meaning that you could quite easily exceed the safe parameters of a battery - namely the CDR (continuous discharge rating), as you do this the battery heats up and best case would vent, worse case would explode if the battery casing isn’t correct or gases can’t escape, etc.

The main cause of this would be either a hard short or by using coils with a very low resistance.

I’d suggest doing some research on here first and there are a lot of people that can help you as we’re quite a friendly bunch.

BUT - none of want to see someone blow their face off, it’ll be a bad day for you and a bad day for all of us, we don’t want to give people any more reasons to state vaping is bad or dangerous, hence why this is a heated topic.

And oldhippydude is 100% correct - DO NOT blindly install coils onto a Mech without understanding that the build is correct (I.e. no shorts) and that the resistance is at a safe level for the battery setup you’re using.

Absolutely not safe.

With a mechanical mod all the calculations, controls and safety features that would be provided by a regulated mod's electronics become something you have to take care of yourself.

Without a reasonable amount of knowledge of how to use them they can be very dangerous.

At a bare minimum you need to be able to work out what amp draw your coils will produce and whether that is safe for your battery.

Even then it would be very dangerous to not test the coils on a regulated mod or ohm reader in case of an unexpected problem.

Anyone who sells mechanical mods should have made all this very, very clear.

Edit: as said above; good on you for asking! We all want people vaping safely.
