K100 advice Please?

[Cloud23]

Hi there all. Just got my first mechanical mod and looking for a bit of advice. It's a K100 and I'm using it with a Protank and eFest 18350's. It works fine but has a far less satisfying draw than my Vamo V3. as I'm using 2.2 ohm heads in the Protank can I assume this is down to the high resistence on the coil? Is switching to 1.8's the answer? Cheers guys!

Can I just add that the resistence on my K3 with the 2.2 ohm heads is showing as around 2.4 to 2.5ohms. I know the Vamo mods aren't 100% accurate with their readings but is this normal? Obviously if the heads are nearer 2.5 then the K100 is going to struggle a bit.

No one? Can anyone help? Bump!

Aim for around 1.5 to 1.8ish. That's what I use for my k100 anyway

Cloud23 another thing with mech mods you need to keep the contacts clean, it makes an amazing difference, unlike a regulated mod...

As yorkshiregrump said coils on mechs are better with lower ohm head, takes less time to heat up

and what i have heard is, as far as mechs are considered, sub-ohms are the in thingy. the lower the resistance, the better. try going below 1 ohm! although read all the safety bits relating to it before you attempt.

More than that, with the K100 there is a plating on the contacts.

If you remove the plating with some fine sandpaper or a power tool the pins are made of brass and will give you a much better conductivity/voltage drop. Make sure you do the top pin both where it connects to the atty and where it touches the top of the battery.

I run my drippers between 1 and 1.2 ohms on my K100. It works really well

I''ve just started the mechs and I run a 1ohm dual coil on my dripper and I'm gonna try get one goin on my agi tank which you should get btw it's on sale GreyHaze

Tried it at the weekend with a 0.9 ohm dripper and it was lovely!
