Insanely Irresponsible Sale by local Vendor

[Dela Rey Steyn]

Sorry guys, just have to vent, just recieved this in my e-mail as a news letter and i'm fuming!



How can a "Reputable Vendor" sell a Mechanical mod as a combo and supply a 30Q battery?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! This is so irresponsible! The 30Q has a Current rating of ONLY 15Amps!! It is 100% definitely NOT a suitable battery for a Mech Mod!

WTF.

The scary thing is that it is at a really good price and inexperienced vapers might be tempted. Have you contacted the "reputable vendor".

I think that it would be worthwhile doing so.

Called them out on another platform.

I would like to hear their response. In my book, it would be impossible to justify.

Eish and today was my first day using a mech and was happy vaping on a pinky camoflage as a minion.
Is a lg choc better?

Ok must also mention I build 0.8ohm and higher

you can work it out as follows:

Amps = Voltage / Resistance

Eg. 3.7v / 0.8Ohms = 4.7 Amps wich will give you roughly 18Watts ( Watts = Voltage x Amps )

I run a 30Q in my mech but then I would also like to think that I know what I am doing...

Thanks so at that ohms I can pretty much vape on any battery

 

[Dela Rey Steyn]

Lol, only reply I got:

Yeah, got a full reply:

Thats really a good deal now.

I'd always make sure that you are drawing less than what the battery can deliver. I've seen some strange 18650's out there (Very High capacity rating but very low current draw), not for vaping application, but there is always going to be a clown that will try it. Mechs are not for clowns.

I think almost all 18650's sold by vape shops could run a 0.8 Ohm build in a SB mech no problems but always check to be safe.

Old and worn out batteries can also be a problem on current draw.

 

[Vilaishima]

That is a superb response from them!

 

[Dela Rey Steyn]

That is a superb response from them!

They handled it pretty well

 

[Bulldog]

hats off to them for the response and especially the fix.

 

[Puff the Magic Dragon]

A perfect response. Couldn't ask for anything better. Well done.

Why not name them on here? It is a forum.

If you search for the okes names, you will find the vendor name

 

[RainstormZA]

Well done, @Dela Rey Steyn ! Goes to show that if you don't do anything, nothing will get done.

 

[RainstormZA]

but there is always going to be a clown that will try it. Mechs are not for clowns.

 

[SmokeyJoe]

Awesome work @Dela Rey Steyn!
I hope you realise that you possibly prevented an unknowing vaper from a catastrophy.
Well done boet

 

[Spyro]

You can safely run a 30Q in a mech with no issues at all. The vendor is literally doing nothing wrong. This is so silly

 

[JurgensSt]

Well done @Dela Rey Steyn

Most people would have just read the add and move on.

Send from the small screen

I disagree, just off the top of your head, what is the safe resistance limits for a coil in a mech on a 30Q batt?

...and now ask yourself how many noob vapers will bother to even find out out that info.

Majority of uninformed will take the vape shops 30Q recommendation as safe or they wouldn't have sold it.
