Im thinking of buying a mech mod. I am a vaper for almost 10 months and i know a little about ohms law an battery safety, but i wanna ask 2 things:1st in what voltage shoud i stop using my batteries in mech mods and 2st I've seen a lot of youtubers vaping in .1 ohms in their mech mods. How safe is that ?

So far the little I know is batteries with high amp draw like vtc5a. but double check with battery mooch for best batteries for mech mods if your mech is in series that means double the voltage so 1 batterie times 2 if it's a mech in parralell that double the amps but voltage stays the same......now most vape at .1 because if u build lower you stress your batteries and could blow your teeth off...most batteries have a minimum resistance of .06.. also use a rda with a protruding 510 pin ....thats what I know about mechs and I don't even own 1 yet
Ok thanks for that but i know that .1 ohms in fresh charged batteries is 42 amps an the battery is 20 or 25 amp. How does this work ?
It would only work with a dual battery set up if your thinking only 1 battery with a 18650 ..there's no 1 18650 that can deliver 42 amps .....i know there's bigger batteries like 20700
Yes im talking about 1 18650 battery tube and having .1 ohms
Here's my lecture I give new Mech users.
1. Ohm's law, Steam Engine | free vaping calculators makes it easy and there's even an app on it for Android
2. Batteries, take good care of your batteries and know them!!!!!!!
a. Avoid crap batteries like eFest who rewrap rejects with grossly inflated amp ratings. Stick with authentic LG, Sony or Samsung from reputable (not eBay or Amazon) sources, great places that I get authentics from are -

b. Stick well within Continuous Discharge Rate (CDR) Not the "pulse"
c. Keep up to date with what Mooch tests and battery ratings, follow his posts on Facebook and his Blog and only use his recommend batteries.
d. In Mod's with multiple batteries, marry them.
e. Get some battery wraps, they're cheap and easy to re-wrap batteries. Any nicks,tears or what ever don't be stupid and just re-wrap.
3. Don't build stupid low a good builder can chuck and get awesome dense vape from a good build. It's simple, with 20 CDR Amp batteries -
a. Single battery mod's you're fine with .2 ohms on up
b. Dual Parallel you're fine with .15 on up. Parallel you take the full CDR of one battery then add 1/2 the CDR of the next battery
c. Series you double the voltage but you share the amps . So a series you build high with a lot of wire mass no lower that .4 ohms.
4. Make sure you don't have any shorts. For an extra caution any new build I will vape on a regulated mod for a few drips or with a tank about a 1/4 tank. This is to insure nothing wonky with my build like shorts.
5. Careful if it's not in your hand, if it doesn't have a lock on the button and you put it in your pocket (which I really don't recommend) insure nothing else is in your pocket and it's loose. Don't want to put it in your front pocket and blow your Johnson off ya know
6. Last but certainly NOT the least, keep it clean! Clean it when you first get it "before" you even use it and clean it on a regular basis.
a. Ultrasonics are a very good investment, got mine off Amazon for around $25.

Thanks a lot about all this informations ,i will have all of them in mind but my question here is if i build a .3 coil for a mech tube where shoud i stop vaping in that battery? As soon as i notice the first "voltage drop" or later?Here's my lecture I give new Mech users.

Minimum voltage on the batteries we use is 2.5v. If your coil(s) are low resistance you will notice a drop off in performance long before reaching reaching 2.5v, usually around 3.5v.
Ok. Where is the "safe zone" to stop?around 3.5?
I'v seen that vid and i assume that the battery made a circuit with some coins or keys
my guess is that the battery shorted to ground inside the mod.
Use a multimeter to check battery voltage until you get the hang of it.
Only take a few times to recognize when to say when.

yes but when shoud i stop?at what voltage aprox?
You need to read these three articles. Read each one from top to bottom. They should cover everything you need to know.
A Beginner's Guide to Your First Mechanical Mod
Explain it to the Dumb Noob: Ohm's Law Calculations for a Mechanical Mod
Battery Basics for Mods: The Definative Battery Guide for Vaping
Should you have any additional questions after reading the above, come back and we'll try to answer.

thanks for all that, i read the " a beginners guide...." and i realize that mechs are too much for me.But i want to try something like a box unregulated mod like a dovpo mvv or a invader 3 or a noisy cricket.Im looking forward for the noisy cricket cause it has parrarel switch so it would be more safe for amps draw and has some safety feutures. would you recomend noisy to me?
An true unregulated box mod is still a mechanical mod. Don't confuse the box shaped true mechs being any different from a tube shaped true mech. They are both unregulated mechs.
In theory, a parallel circuit in a two battery mech doubles the amps, but in real world practice you should only consider the amperage to be only 1 1/2 times that of a single battery. Theory does not account for any voltage loss from the mod's body or atomizer.
There are different versions of the Noisy Cricket. The latest version can be run in either parallel or in series, regulated or unregulated. It does have some basic safety circuitry. I don't own one and never used one. I've read a little about them on You Tube.

Yes but they have some safety build in them so its safer than a tube
