It's a question of how much power load (in amps) are you running through the batts. Yellows (if LG) should be HE4s, which are good to about 20A. Assuming a nominal voltage of about 4v, the batteries should be good to a minimum of 0.30o (*with* ample headspace put into consideration of course).

Of course, on a regulated mod, the chip boosts and bucks the voltage based on your wattage settings, but the same general rule applies - at 4v, 20A batteries are good to about 0.3o.

You need to Google "ohms law" and understand the general idea behind it, but the takeaway here is that all batteries have a max amperage limit (which differs from battery to battery) and you do not want to breach that limit.

Thats -ve 78% headroom for you and it's not not not safe.

All freshly charge 18650s will give you approximately around 4.2V, that 4.18V is normal for freshly charge batteries. When you put your atomizer on top, the read will be lower even more. Just take the nominal voltage for it would be ok and that is 3.7v for single battery, 7.4 for 2 batteries, 11.1 for 3s.

New efest metallic purple wrap is fine according to Mooch, they have learn to label their battery properly now.
But still is expensive for a (rewrap batteries) as fudge here.

What device are you using? single or dual or triple battery? is it regulated or unregulated device?
on regulated device, your resistance means absolutely nothing. Take this equation I = P / V (Current = Power / Volt) to calculate your battery amp draw
or simply use the website below to check.

On regulated mod, the resistance of the atomizer means nothing. The equation is I = P / V (Current = Power / Voltage).

Example: Regulated Device w/ Series batteries config. Fire @ 60Watt.

Single Battery Device	Dual Battery Device	Triple Battery Device
Nominal Voltage = 3.7V	Nominal Voltage = 7.4V	Nominal Voltage = 11.1V
60W / 3.7V	60W / 7.4V	60W / 11.1V
Amps = 16.2 per battery	Amps = 8.1 per battery	Amps = 5.4 per battery

You don't have to worry about your coil resistance to calculate your Amps draw in a Regulated Device. (You'll still need to build your coil accordingly within your device specs of course! if your device support 0.1ohm - 3.0ohm, you don't go crazy and build 0.07ohm duh)

Becareful on single battery mod like for example eleaf istick pico 75w, evic vtc mini, so on and so forth because you'd be pulling 20amps if you fires full 75w constantly on that device. If you fires lower than that, you'll be fine.

on RX200, let say you fire it 200w, and you wanna know how many amps your battery draw so, 200w / 11.1v = 18 Amps. Why 11.1v, because 3 batteries (3.7V * 3 = 11.1V)

If you're MTL vaper that usually fires below 20W, on a single battery battery device would be 20W / 3.7V = 5.4 Amps only. You'd be getting plenty of battery life if you're going with 3000mAh battery like for example LG HG2 or Samsung 30Q and still on a safe margin.

folks...

thanks a lot for the battery info.. vape safe... thanks again... appreciate it

Hurmmm. I knew I should have read that Reddit PSA, but yeah it does confirm my suspicions that wattage is all that really matters on a reg box.

Thanks for the update though. It's a really good summary of the PSA.

That said, IMHO even "casual" vapers REALLY need to know their basic battery safety, and at least know that NO, those 35A E-fests and AMTs (and whatever rewraps) isn't really true 35A batteries to begin with.

And how 40A batteries are total BS... at least at this point in time.

Unfortunately the responsibility is shared with sellers (who need to at least inform their buyers of BASIC battery safety), but some of the less... scruplous shops really don't care about that as much as they care about their profits.

Which is sad, considering that these little sticks of power are about the only thing in Vaping that can go nuclear on us when abused beyond their limits.

Totally agree with you. Some shop just wanna shove the latest device on the market to their customers face without taking a little bit of time telling them about safety issues etc, some of them (both seller and consumer) probably have no idea if you ask them about safety that I can guarantee you. We need to become a smart consumer and learn that ourselves. The last thing we would want is to give the ammunition to the G saying that vaping is dangerous (Well, it kinda is dangerous if you don't know what you're dealing with lol)

Like multi-battery mods and battery marriage. Though so far most of the sellers I've seen (so far) have been quite adamant about battery marriage - as it DOES allow them to to use it as an excuse to sell new batteries as a set with the mods themselves.

Which is... well... something good achieved with less then noble intents lol. Not that it matters.

At least now the majority of local vapers have switched to reg mods (again). It would be rather... iffy if the current minimal ohm Clapton crowd were to build on mechs with such blatant disregard for (or rather, ignorance of) battery safety.

can anyone suggest me a good scale and where to get one for mixing?

There is 1 or 2 battery option. Try adding 18650 power bank and torch light if you wanna try increasing it to USD40.

very good video Comparing the Limitless, Avocado and Theorem tank

I bought mine for cheap on FT if you don't mind waiting.
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1107201

The shipping cost was only $2.
Not sure if it's authentic or fake batteries, everyone on gearbest says it's legit.. Some people on other forums say they have a history of selling fakes.

Yeah, gearbest reviews says its legit. I'll test it myself on 0.16 ohm coil using VTC mini when it arrives.

personally i dont mind waiting. thanks bro.

search pocket scale at Lelong bro...got mine for around 25 ringgit only..minus FT waiting time...hahahah

yoshh

!!! RM19 only
http://www.lelong.com.my/200g-300g-500g-x-...7-01-Sale-I.htm

wow! even cheaper...hahaha

personally I'm using this: lelong1 & lelong2 Mine 500g x 0.01g.

It has somewhat long cut off time before the screen goes off. The one that the other suggested is fine too but it has fast cut off time, if you're slow when mixing then you're done, you have to start over.

Just make sure you're choosing 0.01g if you're mixing small batches at a time. 0.1g if you're making large batches like for example 500ml in 1 go.

guys, i need some advise.. been vaping for 3 yrs+ but this my 2nd time buying US liquid.. 1st i tried watemelon flavour from mountain oak vapor i vomit.. this time i tried ethos krispy treat, vomit also..

my normal liquid like dr brew, mystery, ff no vomit at all.. any idea why?

Nicotine overdose.
