I wanted to start with rda and ordered DeadRabbit v3 and some coils 0.22 Ohm. I didnt know that something like Ohm's law even exist. The more I tried to understand, the more new things I got to know that confused me even more. ( Parrarel or Series, Unregulated or regulated mods) All i know that i have Aegis X and P26A 25A batteries and i want to put two coils 0.22 Ohm which gonna make 0.11 Ohm. Aegis X is probably Series so i double my voltage which is 8.4v but ampers stays 25A ? When i put this numbers to Ohms law calculator shows me that i need 76A which is insane comparing to my 25A. Does my calculation is right?
Do i need some Parralel mod ? Cuz then my Ampers will double and voltage stay same which makes 38A so should be safe. Im so confused please help me.
 
Aegis x is regulated so you can use those coils. Regulated devices should cut out if there's a danger. Ohms law is needed for mech mods ( no electronics).
 
as sput1 says.. almost everything you are talking about does not apply to regulated mods.

Watch this on how to calculate amp draw on a regulated mod, the most important number is the wattage you are using. (which you don't even mention) You've clearly done some research which is good, but you've gone down the wrong path. :)

 
You're miles away and confusing yourself. The RDA is a dual coiler so 0.22 ohm coil in a pair is halved unless the deck is series (which the Dead Rabbit isn't). Talking any more about ohms law on a regulated mod is kinda pointless as it's internal setup means it can boost voltage by clever internals.

As a beginner rda owner I lost my way looking for an answer but thanks to you I already understand. Thank you for your help <3
 
Knowledge of Ohms Law is essential for safety when using unregulated mechanical devices because the resistance of the coil build will dictate how much power is drawn from the battery - if you try to pull too much you will be running the risk of the batteries venting, or in the worst case scenario, turning your mod into an explosive device.

When it comes to a regulated mod this should not be an issue as you have control of how much energy is pulled from the batteries. A rule of thumb is to draw a maximum of 3 Watts per Amp per battery so they will not be overstressed even when they are close to low voltage cut off.

You have chosen good 25 Amp batteries, and the Aegis range of mods are good - if you run it at a max of 150 Watts you will be safe (the majority of vapers don't need anywhere near this much power to get a decent vape so you will probably find your sweet spot much lower than this). Really the only thing you have to pay close attention to is the state of your battery wraps - if they get torn, rewrap them.

Your mod runs in series configuration and will provide 8.4 Volts to the board, however - because you decide how much power to send to the coils the board won't necessarily be sending 8.4 Volts to the atomiser. If, for example you are running a 0.11 Ohm build at 105 Watts the screen may show 31 Amps and 3.4 Volts. Although 31 Amps is higher than the 25 Amp rating of your batteries, 31 Amps at 3.4 Volts is not the same as 31 Amps at 8.4 Volts so you will be well within the safety limit of the batteries. As the board is always being provided between 8.4 Volts down to 6.4 Volts when the batteries are low - the circuitry throttles back the power and sends out a lower voltage to provide the Wattage you have selected.

I didn't explain that very well, but if you stick to the 3 Watts, per Amp, per battery you won't be exceeding the Amp limit of the batteries, even if the screen is showing a higher Amp draw.

Nice choice of mod and batteries by the way.

You explain very well, so thank you
 
If you want to try mech mods in the future then post up the build/figures here and we can check them for safety for you.

I definitely want to try mechs in the future, but I wonder why most mechs are single-battery powered. I've always liked big boxes and when I look at the vaping101 website most of them are small sticks. Can you recommend any mechs for a dual battery?
 
If you want a lightsabre then the stacked sceptre with steam crave plus v2 tank is massive (series deck available at Everzon). The suiside stacked is good and bearded viking mods make custom sleeves, get the asgard and series deck. Wickdupvapers do immortal mods, the lycan stacked and exile parallel are nice but immortal mods are no longer producing so when they are gone they are gone. Singles battery tubes are just as good, the atom is a belter.
