Safe Link Mechanical Mod Safety Device Prevents Over Fire Finds Short, Volt Drop??

Here's a short vid I made to comprehensively, yet simply explain what you need to know about batteries and resistances to keep you safe



Direct you tube link:  

Due to a recent rash of vapers using mech mods without proper knowledge. here is a simple test for vapers who want to use unregulated devices, if you can confidently answer these questions, you just may be ready to take the plunge to a mech or unregulated box mod. If you cannot answer all of the questions, don't be discouraged, use the test as a base for the knowledge you may need to acquire.


1. Define ohms law using a short paragraph, and show the equation below.

2. Define watts law using a short paragraph, and show the equation below

3. Draw a simple open circuit.

4. Draw a simple closed circuit

5. Find the resistance of a circuit running at 3.9 volts with a 20 amp current

6. Find the voltage of a circuit running at .54 ohms with a 5 amp current.

7. Find the wattage of a 4.1 volt circuit at 2.3 ohms

8. You are wrapping a dual coil set up, while pinching your coil with metal tweezers you accidentally press the fire button,
the leg of the coil you are wrapping fires bright and then disintegrates, why has this happened?

9. Your mechanical mod is getting extremely hot, is making odd noises, and has an odd smell, what is happening
and what is the procedure in this situation?

10. What is the lowest safe resistance of a 4.2v lithium ion battery rated at 20 amps?

11. You have been using a battery for several hours now, and have noticed a sharp decline in vapor production,
why is this happening?

12. You wrap a coil that reads .42 ohms on your multimeter, what important factor should be remembered while using this coil?

13. You are using 2 stacked 18350 lithium ion batteries in your mod, what kind of circuit is this? what changes because of this?
what does not change?  

Hi

I recently purchased the eleaf istick which I use with the kangertech subtank.

While I am impressed with the vapour production, I find it way too harsh and hot. On the coil it has the recommonded setting printed between 15 - 30w. I'm at 15w, but I'm still finding it too hot and harsh.

My question is:

is it safe to go down all the way to 11w or even possibly 8. I am confused as I've heard this could short my device or cause injury e.g device exploding, fire...

Thanks  

Hi guys,

Just been reading a few things (insulators burning through & shorting, the recent mod explosion, etc) and just wondering if I am in over me head with what I'm doing or if I'm in the 'safe' category.

I don't have any mods, and the sub-est of sub ohming I do is the 0.5ohm Subtank coils. I have the Subtank Nano & Mini.

The two batteries I use are the Ego One and the Aspire CF Sub Ohm. I'm getting into rebuilding the stock OCC Coils and my coils clock in between 0.6 & 0.8 ohm.

So a few questions...

- with the two batteries I have, what could go wrong? I've read about the safety features of the Ego One & the CFSubOhm but my knowledge of electronics is really basic. The have short protection, over charge protect, etc? The CFSubOhm has 9 second cut off on the fire button, not sure about the Ego One.

- What would happen if the insulators on the OCC coil burned through & shorted?

- the Ego One does heat up when charging, is this an issue or is it considered normal?

I really just want to be as safe as possible, and I'm not sure if I've got the time & patience to get educated.

What do you guys reckon?

Thanks a lot for any help.  

This might be a stupid ? I have tons of different wire and was wondering if it was safe to twist say 26g and 28g together, or would it short out.

Ive wondered this for awhile and havent been able to find any answer after a bit of searching.  

I have a couple old 18500 baterries that would not hold a charge for too long but they still work. I just use them at home and switch them out when they die. The tube mod I use them in, Itaste 134 mini, seems to get very hot while vaping and I was just wondering if it was safe to use them until they are completely dead and won't fire. I am just cheap. Thanks.  

Happened today. Smoktech xpro m80 plus bit the dust.

The "ghost fire mode got me" 510 is currently a direct power output, on or off it will constantly fire atomizer's.

I have reset the mod, turned it on and off. Only solution is to screw off my RDA.

I understand safety, ohms law. And make sure everything is operating properly. I have taken good care of it. Really no fault of my own to be honest.

Be careful, just if you own one watch it. If i would have had it in my pocket and it started firing and i had the radio playing and not heard it? Thats pretty serious IMO. Just figured I'd let you guys know.

Vape on vape SAFE!  

Like the subject states is that correct ? And a wooden box mod that does have soldered wires and only uses let's say an 18650 battery to fire roughly 3.7 volts would not be a mechanical mod right ?

Hey guys.. i been vaping for a while and not had this hapen before.. i am using a Hugo Vapor Rader and ot has been working with no problems until today... when i go to use it, when i try to fire, it says high atomizer the first time i push fire button followed by low battery (have tried multiple sets) when i press again. If i persevere and keep attempting to fire it works fine as if there were no problem until the next time i go to use the device when the process repeats.. i have taken the tank apart and cleaned and put back but the issue continues.. anyone have any ideas on what is wrong/what i should do?  

So I built a twisted build out of nichrome 60 wire and tried it on a triple series 18650 mechanical box and it melted the coils why won't nichrome work with any series boxes 8.4 volt melted 12.6 volt melted but I can build a .06 nichrome build and run it on my mech tube mod and it handles it I can build .15 and run it at 150 watts on my Sigelei and it handles it but bump up the voltage and it melts don't get it. I ran a .30 nichrome build at 260 watts on a SMY 260 and had no failure of the coil so I'm puzzled why a series mech box desemates the coils?
