mech questions

[greenbrucelee]

I dont intend to get a mech for a while i.e until I fully understand ohms law without having to use a calculator. But I have a few questions about mechs.

1. All of the mechs I have seen do not have a display so how do you know when the battery is running out? (I understand the power is based on the coil(s) and battery amperage).

2. since your battery is based on your build and we know resistance changes when you're vaping what do you do if for example you have a build with a core or multiple cores that breaks down whilst you're vaping which can make the resistance go down?

3. I have noticed people who use mechs for short bursts instead of 4 or 5 seconds is this to do with the power delivery or battery usuage.

4. When going for a battery why not just get the highest amperage battery you can even if you only need 15a?

Cheers

1. The vape will feel cooler.
2. Don't use big lumps of metal in a mech. Ramp up will be horrendous and tax the battery.
3. Low ramp up means more vapour quicker. No need to press for ages.
4. For max safety stay under CDR of the battery.

There are other considerations like mech cleanliness, wire types etc, more will follow from others.

Thanks so as for the CDR so if you go for 35a you want to keep it under 30a just to be safe?

Thats a judgement call tbh, when I use single coil attys it gets nowhere near max CDR as the vape is toasty hot at the build I use. Build to your vaping preference but within the constraints of reasonable safety

thanks cheers

It's good to be asking questions though, there's a trove of info in the Mech section of the forum and plenty of experienced people use that section when discussing these things. Worth a look.

Yeah I have been looking.

Funny, i'm in a similar boat (with different questions though) - intending to get my first "mech mod" soon.

I don't know if actual mech users sneer at this, but i decided to go down the route of "mech mod with training wheels" - have a look at the EHPro Armor Prime mod. It's a single battery tube mod with safety features. It isn't really a mech mod, since it has those features (reverse battery protection, low resistance/short protection, low voltage cutoff - meaning you can't overdrain the battery), but it's still unregulated.

That's the route i'm taking, it'll teach me some basics in regards to safety, getting more exact in my coil building, all those things. With the added bonus of not instantly getting punished for a mistake.

Thanks I will have a look

There's always the ignore button.

Whatever you use, enjoy the fact it isn't a cigarette.
