Passthrough battery for mods???

[The Outlaw Dripper]

Hello guys I have a Kamry k100+ mod with a 3.7volt 900 mah battery. (short one) I have an rda on it. ( I don't know the ohms or anything my friend made the coils and gave it to me) is there a possibility that I could get a pass-through connector/battery for my mod? I only get about 30 mins vaping time with this battery and I don't have a charger of my own I share with my roommate. I cant always charge my battery cause he is charging his also. Im not really looking on buying the bigger battery and charger for it. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

That is a mechanical mod, which is another name for a pipe bomb for someone who doesn't know the ohms of the coil or the capability of their battery.
I think you need to stick with regulated mods until you educate yourself on ohms law and get the proper meters.
Sorry, blunt but true.

Get a multimeter. Seriously. You can't run coils of unknown resistance on a mechanical mod.

And what kind of battery do you have in that mod? Do you know?

I am very educated on ohms law actually. But if I were to buy a passthrough connector could I use my rda on it? Or has anyone ever done what im talking about?

I have a multimeter but how would I test resistance with the multimeter?? And I think the battery is an 18650

Buy a multimeter. Any digital multimeter will do, you don't need a Fluke! You can get a good one for $15-25 from Sears, Lowe's or on the Amazon. You need your multimeter to check the resistance of your atomizers and/or voltage of your battery.

Connect the black test lead to the jack marked "Common" or "-"; connect the red test lead to the jack marked with the Ω (Ohm symbol) or letter "R" near it.

To check the resistance of your atomizers:

1. Turn your multimeter on and select the lowest Ohms setting, usually 200Ω.

2. Look at the display; the left side of the screen should display number 1.

3. First, test the resistance of your leads. Touch to two leads together, firmly, and wait for numbers to stabilize. On the right side of the screen, you should see a number between 0.0 and 0.4, or so. This is the resistance of your leads. Remember that number.

4. Now, to test your atty. Position your carto firmly on your desk; you don't want it to slip and slide all over the place. Touch one lead to the hole in the center of the atty and the other lead to the threads. Again read the display after the numbers have stabilized.

5. Subtract the resistance of your leads (#3) from the resistance of your atty(#4). This is the resistance of your atomizer.

This process takes some getting used to. Steady hand helps. Just keep practicing and you'll figure it out.

There are many tutorials on Youtube--watch them if you're a visual learner:

I like this one by GeekGirlVaper:



If you only want to check the resistance of your atomizers (or are going to build your own coils), you may want to consider buying this Atomizer and Cartomizer Ohm Meter--a very nifty, albeit single use, device:

A pass through is for regulated mods only. A mech mod doesn't have the circuitry for one. It's just a battery holder with a button. Can you tell me the amp rating on your battery? The "3.7 volt 900mah short one". If you know ohms law and are still running a coil of unknown ohms then even more reason for me to advise you to stick with regulated.

18650's are "long ones" I suspect yours is an 18350. That still tells you nothing about the capability of the battery.

There are many 18650 batteries that are not suitable for mechanical mods.

I just did the multimeter method and the ohms reading is 0.5

This battery came with the mod when I bought it

Just because a battery comes with a mod does not mean that the battery is safe for vaping a sub-ohm build on it. What is the battery (brand, mah, amp limit)?

You have a sub ohm coil. It is extremely important for you to know what your battery is capable of regarding sustained amp draw.

I see some very scary things in the future of The Outlaw Dripper. I just hope that he gets smart and does some major studying in the world of vape safety before we see another bad press story. Sorry if it's blunt but it's what I think will happen.

If your battery is drained after 30 minutes on a 0.5ohm coil, chances are you are over stressing it with a load it cannot handle. The best 18350 batteries I know of are the AW and they only have a 7amp limit. 0.5ohm even at 4 volts is 8amps.

We're not trying to pick on you, we just want you to vape safe. Invest in some good 18650 batteries, try to get ones with at least a 20a limit, and they'll last you a good while longer than 30 minutes.
