But it heats very slowly, i will attach a video here tomorowtake another picture from the side a little bit
I think you have airflow problems. are you sure the airflow holes are matched with the coils? Are the coils and cotton positioned properly by the airflow chambers in your cap? is the airflow wide open(if it's adjustable).?
you could probably use more even spacing on the wraps if possible.
I'd start there -
Yeah, i studied all about ohms law. I have samsung 25R and sony vtc5, both doing poor in this situationOk,
There are a number of things to look at. First and foremost, are you using a very high drain battery? At 0.2Ω you are drawing 21A. Check out "Battery Mooch" and make sure you are using a battery that he rates with a high enough CDR to handle that load. A battery that is insufficient may be sagging a lot and diminishing your vape and it may also be a safety hazard. Second, is the mech clean? I mean every thread where parts screw together as well as every contact point. Something like steel wool to make sure no coatings from manufacturing are left and electrical contact spray will help. Third, from the pictures it looks like a lot of cotton in the atty. Is there any room left for air to get around the coils? Forth, some mechs have a tendency to work a little better with simple wire and a few more evenly spaced wraps. You can still get similar resistances using a larger gauge wire.
Last and most important, not to embarrass but I feel an obligation, have you studied up on safety with mech mods? They can be everything from a wonderful vape to a pipe bomb.
I'm sure others here will also add more that I am not thinking of right now. Good luck! -
Hello i bought a tsunami mech kit, and i get very tiny clouds l, the device heats up to long, i am running on 0.2 ohms. And i wan to get better cloud production, who can help me ?(

What is sub ohm?You can try RTA, or Sub Ohm -
So all rdta have this problem?That's' why RDTA is not porpular now..

Ok. Thanks you manA lot of folks use it but all of our taste buds are different. There are a lot of different wicks you can use unfortunately the rigors of testing them all are a pain. I use Japanese cotton pads but I can't promise you'll like them any better. Some folks prefer synthetics and yet others swear by hemp. The hemp option is rugged to source. It generally comes in pillow case quantities. Some people just use cotton balls, lol. That part that resonates with me is that you get 15 or 20 good vapes before the unwanted taste surfaces. This points directly toward lack of e-juice on the cotton or more over the cotton not replenishing the e-juice adequately. Since you have tested that and found it not to be an issue, I'm stumped. Hang in there! There are more experienced vapers in this forum that may just have the key to this enigma! -
I am using cotton bacon, maybe this cotton is bad and gives that bad taste ? But it costs 5€ so its not a cheap cottonI guess I don't either. As long as there is enough juice and airflow present and the power is not to great, there is really no other reason for this oddity. -
Oh, i unedrstand nowI have been playing with these batteries for a long time. I fly RC planes.
In a regulated device the reason for marrying you batteries is a battery will only have so many charge cycles and the theory is to keep the batteries together
You will get the most life out of them. They will all were out evenly.
In a regulated device it will only run as well as the weakest battery (like a chain, only as good as the weakest link). Witch is why you should not mix battery's. Not because it might blow up but that it will only perform as well as the weakest battery.
So marry them to get the most out of them. -
Everything is alright with the cotton, cotton is white, not black or brown, so i dont even know what the hell is wrong thereLooks like [mention=15721]Tam[/mention] might be busy for a bit. She is better at this kind of thing than I am but in the mean time here are a couple things to try / think about.1. When you start getting that "taste" after the 20 ish hits, pop the top of the atty and check the cotton. Specifically next to and in the coil. Is it well saturated? The limitless has a long distance to wick and if the cotton is too thick they can dry out a bit. If the cotton is getting dark brown or black it is singing. That makes for a bit of a nasty vape.
2. The limitless produces a lot of fog. Do you think your mouth could be drying out? Lots and lots of water while vaping is the answer to that. Personally, I'm weird, diet coke does it for me.
3. If your wicks are cut high, are you tilting the atty long enough between vapes to allow the cotton to wick properly.
I guest last thing I can think of, which is a long shot, is this a new liquid? It may just have an after taste that comes through after vaping a bit.

I am taking a hit after 20-30 seconds, taking long hits directly into my lungsTo chain vape means you take one inhale after another in quick succession with little to no time in between. Do you also take long inhales or short ones? How about what kind of vaping - do you take in the vapor in a long, slow draw directly into your lungs (direct to lung) or do you draw the vapor into your mouth first before you inhale (mouth to lung)?
Try opening your airflow all the way and take a long, slow draw. Does that help? -
What is the PG/VG ratio of the juice you're using? 50/50A little more information would be helpful to troubleshoot this issue.
What is the PG/VG ratio of the juice you're using?
Do you prime the wick or let it sit for several minutes to the wick can absorb the eliquid?
What resistance is your coil?
If using wattage as your power source, how many watts are you using?
Is your airflow open?
Are you chain vaping?
Answer these questions and that will give us more information so we can give you a more accurate answer. [emoji4]
Do you prime the wick or let it sit for several minutes to the wick can absorb the eliquid? I let them sit for ~2 min
What resistance is your coil? 0.3
If using wattage as your power source, how many watts are you using? 69-80
Is your airflow open? Half closed
Are you chain vaping? What means chain?
It feels like i dont wash my teeths for a weekWhat type of bad after taste? Burnt, metallic, sour, oily, bitter? I got a bad bottle of flavoring once that was extremely bitter on the after taste. Pitched it in the trash and cleaned the tank, juice bottle, changed coils and wicks. No problems after that? -
Why you cant just put them in different slots? I dont understandSo I can put them back into the same slots in Mod -
I have limitless rdta plus coils are new, cotton is new too, but after 10-20 hits i get a bad afer-taste, what can cause this problem and how to solve it ?(
-
LolNope, not a good idea. Listen to the wise words of [mention=35022]Squid[/mention], [mention=15088]Rixter[/mention] and [mention=40355]Walt[/mention]. They give good advice to not use the batteries you currently have. Go get three new batteries of the same make and model, it's much cheaper to do that than to pay a hospital bill. [emoji4]
And why u marking them?I mark mine 1.2.3 all the same batts they get charged together and put back in same slots in my RX200 -
-
Oh, ok thank you a lot[mention=35022]Squid[/mention] nailed it for you. Not good practice. Will you have a catastrophic failure? Probably not. Most will go as far as to "marry" batteries, all the same make and model, all the same age, all always charged together. Many mods will refuse to operate if they sense the batteries are too different in charge levels. And yes, the batteries you are using will discharge at different rates. -
Thank you for your answer!18650 Batteries can charge up to 4.2V and produce that when first put into a mod. They will spend most of their life around 3.6V as that is the "nominal" voltage. Obviously 4.2V will pull more current. It's all about safety with a mech mod. There are no electronics protecting the mod.
Thank you! I understand nowFully charged LI-ION batteries are 4.2 volts. Nominal voltage is usually listed on various batteries at 3.6-3.7v, but when it comes off the charger, it's 4.2v. It drops with use, and you should stop using it before it drains below it's safe-discharge limit. Each battery has it's own set of specs, so you can google how low your particular battery can go before charging. I usually recharge mine when they get to about 3.2v. You'll experience a cooler vape as the voltage drops, so with some experience, you'll learn when to change out batteries based on the vape you're getting. Until then, change out early. -
Why fully charged battery has 4.2V if theres only 3.6V on vtc5, i do not understand that? :/We'll need to know a little more about your setup to give you an accurate answer, but In a mech mod, the lowest resistance load you can safely go with on a fully charged battery (4.2v) and stay under your battery's 20 amp limit is .21Ω, which will yield 84 watts.
Voltage / Resistance = Current (amps)..........Voltage² / Resistance = Power (watts)
Remember, your resistance can/will change do to a variety of reasons, so it's imperative that you keep a close eye on your coil's resistance fluctuations, especially if you are setting it up to run at your battery's safety threshold. -
By the way this is a good answer and i am glad that you answered like this, thank you)I'm going to do you a huge favor and not answer that. You have to understand what you are doing with a mech mod.

I have a sony vtc5 with 20Amps, what is the smallest amount of ohms i can put in there to not blow up?
-
But the only thing is different between this bateries is Amps Sony has 20A and Samsung 25A so it is still bad to use them?It is generally not advised to mix battery types in a devise. There are too many variables in the manufacturing process, batteries rated the same by 2 different manufacturers could be vastly different in performance. -
Hello, i am new to vaping and i have 2x of samsung 25R and one Sony VTC5 is it will be ok if i put them together?
