A repost from 2014 so yeah most links will be dead, but the info is still good
(more or less)
Part 2 of the
New Vapor Starter KitsNow moving on to the next phase Mechanical and Regulated Mods for those that want to study up...not me mind you but....ohm's law
ohm vaping chart
Basics to look for in a regulated mod- 510 and ego threading
- variable voltage goes from at least 3v to 6v by .01v
- watts goes from 3w to 15w by .5w
- has a fairly easy to read/operate screen
- tell the battery life left
- take 18350 battery (mini size)
- take 18650 battery (large size)
- maybe keep track of puffs
- check the ohm of the atty
- battery protection (Reverse polarity protection and short circuit protection)
- can it take a beating and keep on ticking
beyond that everything else is bonus or aesthetic
This I am still not very familiar with, however I can point to some good devices and again shopping fasttech getting the best prices:
itaste has a vv/vw mod
iTaste SVD $38
or there's the
Vamo V5 $33
OR you can make any mech mod into a vamo v5
possibly any 510 connection lmfao
Vamo 5S Variable Volt/Watt Control Head for Mechanical Mods $27
This is the charger I use
HUANGAO HG-1210W Dual Channels Li-ion / Li-FePO4 Batteries Charger $8
charges 2 batteries, built in wall charger, comes with usb adaptor and car charger
Depending on your taste there are lot of designs on
Fasttech for stainless steel modsNow tanks....we have already discussed however I'd like to add a new one to the list
5ml HyperTank Clone $11 bottom coil tank
So if you go with either the Itaste or Vamo + Charger + 2 Tanks = high side $72, low side $55 and then find you some good batteries else where for cheap
OR mix and match grab a mechanical mod + the Vamo V5 adapter + charger + 2 tanks = high end = $86 low end = $60 then again find you some good batteries else where for cheap and you now have a mechanical mod + option of using vamo v5 head to have a regulated mod, charger (with usb and car adapt) and two tanks
DO NOT ORDER BATTERIES FROM FASTTECH...HK customs will send any orders back to FT with batteries in them, you will need to order your 18650 batteries elsewhere.
Word to the wise: FIRE BAD, Never buy any charger or batteries that have the name fire in them
I'd say 80% of the people I've seen have had bad experiences with anything from trustfire, ultrafire, ect __fire
I still don't recommend buying batteries, however if you do, fasttech now suggests to use Malaysia post to ship batteries with
These are a decent battery that I have currently ordered and am waiting on
