I recently purchased a Smoktech Magneto, which is my first mechanical mod. Before this, I've only used APVs with built-in protection and to be quite honest the mechanicals frighten me a little. I use RDAs almost exclusively and am worried about shorts, plus I like being able to check the battery level and feel safe knowing that it will not fire if the battery is too low.
Anyway, I LOVE the Magneto. Built a 1.1 ohm coil immediately and it's been vaping tremendously. I'd like to go lower and dwell in the sub-ohms but I'm a little scared of something going horribly wrong. My main question concerns the batteries. Right now I have three 18650s that I used with my old Vamo.
Two of these: CGR18650CH Panasonic 18650 Li-Mn-Li-ion CGR18650CH High Drain 10A Rechargeable IMR Hybrid Battery Cell
One of these: Efest IMR18650 2000mAh 3.7V Rechargeable LiMn battery - button top
Is there any inherent risk in using these particular batteries in a sub-ohm setup?
What about a dual-coil sub-ohm setup, where both coils are around 1.5, making the final resistance .7?
Are they okay if I keep it 1.0 ohms or above?
What would happen if I accidentally discharged them beyond where they should?
Is there a better type of battery I can use with sub-ohm, or with a mechanical mod in general?
They all are apparently IMR -- is ICR or NCR worse for this kind of setup? What is the difference?
If my coil somehow shorts and I'm left with no resistance, what could happen?
Would it be wise to use a kick? or will that negatively impact my ability to do sub-ohm vaping?
Thank you in advance for your help. Every time I feel like I've got once aspect of vaping mastered I try something else where I'm totally outside my comfort level.
