hotrod351 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 it seems that mechanical mods settings are on or off. true ? have seen them but dont see a feature to set the voltage or wattage. therefore do you just hit the button and away you go.

Squid Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yup, just a tube, battery and push button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yep, your settings are ON or OFF, lol... the only true settings are in the resistance of your coil-builds, and if you go below 1.0 Ohms, you should be using a really really good battery. Amp-ratings of your battery are very important, as well as an Ohm-meter, when working with a mechanical mod. VaporTron and Tam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod351 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 well then its takes some study to start using one. reading about what is a good ohm for your coil, then what amp and battery type to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. You can use a regular tank on a mech mod, I have a Kanger Pro Tank 2 with a 1.8 ohm coil on my Magneto. It also works well with the K100 and my other... shiny, silver mech mod. Damn! Too many freakin' toys around here that I can't keep track of their names or what I have. If you're using a sub tank or an RBA/RTA with a mech mod, that's when it becomes very important to know Ohm's Law, have an ohm meter, know about batteries and amps and...

hotrod351 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 i started out with the cheap battery/charger kit you can get on ebay for $12.00 and a itaste 134 mini, wanted to make sure i was going tot stay with this, then moved up to Efast batteries and a Efast charger, along with a itaste 134 with a iclear 30 / 2.1 ohm. i have the setting at 8 watt, on both units. so now is i had a mech mod with a 2 ohm coil and a efast 18650 / 35 amp battery, well what is being regulated when i hit the button, i mean its going to get full power, isnt it. now is this where i do my figuring, says a 1.5 ohm coil then figure what amp battery i need ?

Earthling789 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 With a fully charged battery (4.2V max), you would have the following, based on the coil resistances you listed: 2.1 Ohm = 8.4W at 2.0A 2.0 Ohm = 8.8W at 2.1A 1.5 Ohm = 11.8W at 2.8A As you can see, even a "cheap" battery can handle these Amp ratings (although I'd still not recommend using a "cheap" battery, period), and your 35A Efest batteries won't break a sweat with those loads. To break 10A at 4.2V, you'd need to have a coil resistance built down to 0.4, and that would only be 10.5A and 44.1W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
