in a perfect scenario a hybrid top cap gives you about 4v, a normal mech around 3.9v or 3.7v depending on material and such

always make sure you're pulling about 5amps less than your battery's max amp. some headroom is very important to vape safe.

amperage calculation is v/r = I

using my set up as an example that makes it

3.9v / 0.2ohm = I'm pulling 19.5 amps.

to find out wattage it's p = v*v/r

so for me that's 3.9*3.9/0.2 = 76.05w



1) personally for me I don't go below 0.2ohms. anything lower mutes the taste for me

2) 70vg juices paired with 20g n80 turbo coils are staple for cloud comps in states, not sure about here

3) basic dual coil tight wrap 24g n80s. stapled claptons when I'm not lazy since while it holds more juice, the ohm would be too low and I don't get the same flavour profile :c

4) once every 3 days, could push it but I don't like doing so

yup, when you roll a parallel coil it's basically like having two coils worth of resistance since a parallel coil is two wires wrapped together in a single coil (just making sure we're in the same page with terminologies)

18650 batteries rated at 3.7v indicates that that's it's nominal usage voltage. the max voltage they hold on a full charge is 4.2v

used in a mech mod, you'll feel the voltage drop around 3.7 and you'll switch to freshly charged batteries lol

with regulated mods however you're able to well, utilise it till its empty (not adviced) which is usually 2.5v

a parallel coil is when you wrap two wires in a parallel into a single coil like the picture :P

it'll half the resistance c:

dual coil = dual single wire coils

dual parallels = two of those in the picture xD

yup. and if you have two of it it'll be 0.13ohm c:

lol just sharing, remember to always vape safe. write down the formulas I mentioned to calculate wattage and amperage and if you could, invest in a good multimeter to make sure your battery is at a safe voltage when fully charged c:

regulated mods are one thing, but mechanical mods or those wishing to dabble in it should do it safely imo

yeah, just stating that 2.5v is the full discharge voltage of the battery.

at full charge, if it's way below than 4.2v for an 18650 it simply means that the cell inside the battery is depleted, which is normal with usage, hence it isn't safe to be pulling high amps from it anymore

if you pull too close to the depleted amp rating, bad things will happen ,_,

which is why when my batteries gets to 3.9v or so at full charge I'll just use it on either my vaporshart or pass them to my friends that uses regulated mods

nope, fda is pushing a ban on it

casaa was rallying people to skip local statesmen and congress reps for now and urging people to call the white house directly

could you share your set up along with your juice type (creamy / fruity) as well as the pg vg ratio?

since there are so many variables along with personal taste which is subjective, others could only try giving you suggestions while the fine tuning is in your hands :P

blackout city by bombies

most of my juices are fruity, only a few are creamy since I don't really care for those. recently switched to 6mg this year after 3 odd years of doing 12mg (itmightbesubjectivebutifindthatjuicestastesbetternowonceivesteppeddownto6mg)

vapekulture @ jaya shopping centre c:

could be the pg/vg ratio

bombies is 80/20 while velvet cloud vapor is legit max vg. the latter, same nic dosage gives me a head buzz e_e

no worries, be sure to try it first! I read that some places locally don't let you test imported flavours, but they do c:

I'm in no way affiliated with them but having known the owners since they started I've no issues with authenticity with them either. (they currently only sell us juices)

they only sell authentic product and are proud of it. recently purchased 4 sony vtc4s from them, saves me the hassle of ordering from Europe (nkon.nl) which Reddit rates as a trusted battery seller

marathon milkshake? it does legit taste like snickers. lol

I miss Masterchef Australia :c

they've been using that Katy Perry song as their theme song since season one xD

U.K. and American version of the show encompasses around human debauchery too much imho, while on the Australian version Marco White (JES MARCO) and Heston Blumenthal appears quite often each season

liquid nicotine has been used in several murder cases, since it's untraceable after a period of time, so that act is legit. but if shit does hit the fan, bootlegging it would be more high profile and prices would be insane :c

hmm. I think I'll rewatch narcos

nods*

ban > no ban > confiscate > no confiscate > tax in the talks; welcomed by vapers

not a fan of how it looks, but definitely a flavour chaser. the deck is a little small so you can't really do elaborate builds but that's also its appeal to some, simple micro coil and you get flavour for days

if it appeals to you vapekulture @ jaya shopping centre has it if you'd like to have a 1 on 1 with it to decide c:
