Wow guys, I have been at work all day and so much new to read. I never imagined there would be so much valuable text in my thread. Neither did I think I would actually have this many questions lol. But with every answer I have gotten I have new questions lol. Im on a work computer here and its abit slow, so I just cant be arsed scrolling through and quoting/replying to all the posts, I am sure you all will see my reply anyway, hopefully, lol.
Before I got the alien I was so worried about the batteries because I thought I would actually be able to vape on 200W LOL, so I wanted to make sure that I got batteries that would be able to handle it. The way I am, is like when I have something with so many settings and possibilities, I want to be able to use them all. But what is good for me is that the coil itself says 40-80w and best 55-65w, so going higher than 80 will just kill my coil. And at 80W i feel it starts to get abit hot and it drinks all my liquid in no time, so going any higher is nothing that I would want anyway. At least now I have the equations and information I need, so if I do want to test 100-120 for example, which would only be like 1-2 puffs anyway because its way too much and kind of pointless to go any higher unless im going to be in a cloud chasing competition, which I am not, haha. With my mates whatever-the-hell-he-has-from-ebay-vape and my ziggibox 40w the house looked like it was on fire haha, so running the alien at 55-80w is more than enough. As you say
@Yoda vapes its important to make sure I have legit batteries, and I got the vtc4 from my local shop, but after getting home thinking abit about it I thought they looked dogdy in the box they came and all. I was abit hasty in the shop, just assuming the shop would sell real ones. But i got really doubtfull and worried, so I actually returned them and got my money back. Now I have the vtc5a from fogstar and if i dont remember it wrong, mooch says the CDR is 25amps, and MAX vape amp was 30 or something. Looking at the amps im drawing while vaping at the settings I find suitable for me.
@conanthewarrior I am glad what I said about the efficiency and your equation was right. That means I get it, and I dont know if you all remember how it is to think about these things when you know NOTHING about it, and you get all these basic explanations, but still they seem REALLY REALLY complex for myself, so when I actually understand it and are able to apply the information to my own questions it feels really good. This is absolutely something one would want to know enough about, so you dont hurt yourself when you are supposed to enjoy yourself.
Just a quick question, if i would crank my vape up to some settings that pulls more amps than the batteries deliver, could I cause an instant explosion or would they go warm really really fast and give of alot of gases and smoke for just a very short time before exploding? Just curious, I would never ever try to push the batteries as close to the limit as I can, I would rather spend a fortune on bigger batteries to take my safety precautions up a huge step before deciding to go for super high settings anyway. And as I said, 55-80 is definitely in my range. I tried 38-40 just to try it close to the wattage of the ziggibox, and going as low as that didnt really do it for me. Was less flavour and less clouds. Saves liquid tho, but I want to achieve big clouds and flavour on the cost of some liquid any day lol
