SAvoltage Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hey. Whats up from Texas. I'm quite new to vaping but have picked it up quick and have kinda dove into the hobby aspect of it. Started awhile back with just a starter kit from a local shop here. (Coval Vapes.. shoutout). Loved it. Ended up buying a twist style battery for it. Today I took the next step after quite a bit of research online and talking to people in the shop. Ended up with the Smok Magneto with the Magneto RSST. Couldn't be happier. Looking forward to learning more and making my builds better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The magneto is a wonderful mech, I've got one myself, but I don't see an ohm meter in your picture. Never, ever build coils without an ohm meter. It's just not safe without one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAvoltage Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Oh I have one. Just not in picture. Its a beat up one that would have not looked so great in the picture with all the abuse it takes. Aircraft Mechanic here.

Aircraft Mechanic here. That's a nice change of pace. Sorry, but we've been seeing a lot of new people on the forum building coils and not having an ohm meter to test it on before firing it. We try to teach everyone to play it safe. Mtdobies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAvoltage Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Safety was actually one of the things holding me back from doing this sooner. When you are messing with these batteries all types of bad news can happen if its not done correctly. Try seeing it happen on a 787... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_787_Dreamliner_battery_problems Mtdobies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 If you couldn't tell we've been seeing quite a few people building coils with little to no knowledge of ohm's law, no ohm meter, no idea about safety with batteries and they're checking their builds on APVs instead...we even had one using the wire from bread ties to build coils. It makes us a little twitchy. Mtdobies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAvoltage Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Twist Ties from Bread! THATS GREAT. You would be amazed at some of the rigged 1/2 *** jobs I see on planes all the time. It can be quite unsettling for the frequent flyer, though flying is still safer than driving any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
