A while ago I talked about a kind of chart or database where anyone could go and find out if one piece of gear was compatible with another. I got a comment or two, and then it all fizzled out. But that's okay, because I've noticed more and more that product manufacturers are taking on that responsibility for themselves. I've seen more and more mods with specific instructions about what resistance range it can handle, and what kind of batteries to get.
I think it needs to go a little further, though. A couple of things we consumers need to know about ALL our gear:
Amp limits. Sometimes mods come out with the ability to run low builds at high wattages. But then they put in a 5 amp switch which breaks the third or fourth time it's pushed beyond its limits. So I want every mod to come with a notice that says 'this mod can fire this high, can be built this low, batteries need this C rating, and the switch can take this amount of amps.' That way everyone can figure out whether or not they want it, can use, or can't live without it.
Resistance range. Easy to do and self-explanatory. And, like I said, being done more and more.
Another thing I'd like to see in every mod and atty packaging is a brief rundown of Ohm's Law, with some explanation as to why it should be learned, what it means to your vape, and what happens if you ignore it.
And, while I'm at it, I'd like to throw in a request for never ever ever using those lame two-pin Nemesis style battery-adjustment screws again. They're awful. Floating or spring-loaded pins from now on, guys. I can't even believe I have to ask, at this point. Or that I'm still seeing brand new mods coming out with fixed pins. Um, did no one tell you we're all using different stuff at this point? That there are no 'standards' for 510 connector length, and that not every topper has an adjustable pin? Speaking of adjustable pins... Oh yeah. That too.
