New here and need answers

[ZacUnknown69]

Hey y'all,

New here so be easy on me. I'm making the switch from Ego's to more advanced forms of vaping. I don't care for RBA's or RDA's, I'd prefer just to buy the coils. So here's my question; I want to slap an Aerotank Giant on a battery. But! All I can find is a Seven 22 or Seven 30. It lines up perfect, that's what I want. But it's so long (that's what she said). So is there a battery I can match the Aerotank Giant to that's a bit shorter? Like, can I put it on a mod with an 18350 or will it fry my coils? Basically, can I put an Aerotank Giant on a mechanical battery, if not what batteries can I put it on that are the same size as the tank?

Aerotank Giant is 28mm diameter.

I honestly don't know of a 28mm shorty. I'll have to do some checking around. But yes you should be ok on a 18350 batt. It is still only 3.7 volts. and with a fixed resistance like 1.8 or 2.1 or whatever coil you use the power drain would be pretty slow.

*Also...If you want to try regulated the Eleaf Istick is really small but it's kind of like a box mod so that might not be what you are looking for...but it would work. Disclaimer: I don't own an Istick so I can't vouch for their quality...I just know a lot of people are using them.

The fella's at my local vape shop say if I use a regular tank on an 18350 mod it'll burn up the coils. Is there an ohm range in which that won't happen?

There's always the aerotank mega. With their sub ohm coils that thing is kicking. Lil more flexible at 22 mm

I may be wrong...but at the ohm range most of those coils come in it shouldn't be a problem. It is because the battery is only going to pump out the amps drawn by the resistance. Maybe keep checking the post until an expert answers. I'm an RBA guy.

Not true. Assuming a freshly charged battery at 4.2 volts, a 1.8 ohm coil would be running at just under 10 watts, and a 1.6 ohm coil at just over 11 watts, and while some folks might find that a little high for them, it won't burn out a coil. I've done it myself, just on an 18650 mod with a Nautilus and a Kanger Aerotank.

As to what resistance, it all depends on what you like. Generally speaking, higher resistance = lower power = cooler vape, lower resistance = higher power = warmer vape.

You're not going to burn coils, just your juice (first, anyway). Might need a higher coil resistance. Haven't tried it myself but a short fat battery is a good idea. I prefer to have full control (VV) with Kanger stuff since you're already running on the edge of capacity.

I currently use 3.7v ego with 1.8ohm coils. If I buy an Aerotank you're saying I can use it on a mechanical mod as long as I have high ohm coils?

I wouldn't even say high ohm, really. If you look at the discharge curve of a lithium battery, you'll not that it's relatively flat at right around its nominal voltage of 3.7 volts. (Relative being the operative term):

Voltage drops relatively rapidly from the start of discharge and then stays pretty consistent until you get below around 20% capacity. At 1.8 ohms, that will give you right around 7.6 watts (assuming 3.7 volts) which may be a little weak for you.

Dropping down to a 1.6 ohm coil bumps that to about 8.5 watts.

With a mech, you tailor resistance to what the battery can do, unlike a regulated mod that allows you to bump voltage up over what a battery can produce on its own.
