Slow firing on Ohmega Mechanical box Mod

[BelleBee]

Hi y'all
I have questions about the Ohmega Mechanical Box mod
I have had customers complain about this mech on the slow firing when u first try to fire
I tried it myself and yes it is very slow while firing after a couple times it will start cooking or stop firing this drains the battery drastically
Anyone no if this is a known issue for this mech

No idea about that specific mod. But what kind of batteries are your customers putting in them? If the amp limit isn't high enough it would take a long time to get them going.

What batteries are being used?
What resistance coil(s) are being used?
Measuring resistance accurately & checking for shorts before attempting to fire on a mechanical?

Is that the Ohmega unregulated series box mod?

 

[Topwater Elvis]

It is available in either series or parallel.

We need more information. Could be a lot of things. Could be an issue of insufficent or defective batteries. Could be that the firing pin isn't making a good connection with the topper. It could be the coil build. You're going to have to do a little research.

What kind of batteries? What's the amp limit? What Mah? How old are they? What kind of coil build? Ohms? Wire gauge? Wire material? Complex, or simple build? Single wire? Twisted wire? Fused wire? Single or dual coils?

Have you tried both the battery and coil on another device to see if you're still having the same problems?

One possibility is that it is a series box mod and the batteries are inserted in the same way.
The weak and draining batteries fits that.
Maybe they won't blow themselves up...

Pretty sure if it's the fully mechanical box, the switch needs to be adjusted right out of the box.

I sure hope the opening poster did not blow theirself up....

If the batteries are inserted the same way in a series battery tray both leads would be the same polarity.

Everyone thinks it's the batteries but has anyone considered the fact that the problem may be the coil?

Thick gauge wire, twisted wire, or Clapton coils take a LOT longer to heat up than thinner single strand wire, and that may be the problem. Throw a 24ga/28ga Clapton coil on a mech and it's going to take a second or two to heat up before it starts producing any vapor, and then it's going to stay hot a good 5-10 seconds after you let off the firing button.

That's just the nature of the beast when using coils with a lot of metal in them.


So yes, check the batteries, and check the button, but also check and see what kind of coil they are using. It may simply be a case of them using a coil with a ton of metal, and like a frying pan it's going to take a long time to heat up and then will stay hot long after you've let off the button.
