Is this a bad idea?

[Amy]

I got me a karma kit today from vape king. The only question I have is do you use the max fully charged voltage of 4.2 to work out ohms law or the rated voltage of the battery of 3.7? I put a 0.44 ohm build in it just to be safe but it doesnt hit hard or have a lot of flavour. It takes a while to ramp up. I know ohms law and my battery limit of 20 amps but not sure what voltage to use in the calculation to keep it safe

I usually use 4V seeing as the voltage sags fairly quickly.
I use a 8 wrap 24G SS wire at 0.346 ohms and expect a 11A draw, it also takes a sec or 2 to warm up, fairly cool on the Pulse 22.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I have changed my build now to a 0.36 ohm that would pull just a bit more than 11 amps. I must still get comfortable with the mod. I guess that will come with time. There is something special about using a mech.

Hi, have a look at Mooch's videos, especially the one where he is interviewed by the vaping biker on you tube.
After the info I got from there I have built much better coils.
If you are after good ramp up with decent clouds and flavour, get yourself a 22g ni80 wire by haywire and build 3mm with 8 wraps, that's how I started with my mech. I am now building slightly lower resistances, but that pushes the limits of the battery a bit so I would not recommend you go too low until you have some decent experience.

Don't take a chance with clone mods especially mechs there are some really good regulated clone mods like the billet box

I own an sxk billet box. Got myself a petri and a karma mech.

How's the karma mech? Does it hit hard ?

I would say it does if the build is right. Currently running 0.23 ohm on hb2 batts.

Well I use 4 volts to calculate well if it's freshly charged

Get the lg hb2 battery I got mine from sir vape and I can do very low builds like a 0.18

That is what I got. I just like to keep it above 0.2 to be safe.

The build u have now the 0.44 is only gona take about 9amps

 

[eiks _ the _vapor]

Oh well then u save if u have those batteries but yea just build above .2 to be safe

Voltage droop and all, lion batteries are designed to hang around 3.7v under load so that's where I usually calculate ohm load at.

Glad to see I'm not the only one scared of a vape blowing up on me lol
