    Sub-Ohming for Dummies

    Take the time to learn Ohm's law, too. It's really not difficult and it guarantees that you can make informed choices with your builds.

    sub ohming at .1

    You're quite right. To be honest, I only made that particular build because I fancied trying to build with 20 gauge wire. Turns out that - in my opinion - it was far too hot and didn't taste very nice so I was happy to get rid of it. I've been running dual coil builds with 22 gauge wire for nigh...

    sub ohming at .1

    My bad. I should have said 20 amps!

    sub ohming at .1

    I built a 0.09 ohm dual coil with 20 gauge wire at the weekend and it's the first time I ever felt my setup creaking under the load. After about six pulls (at 60watts), everything got hot; the batteries, the mod (IPV3 v1 with the 165 watt upgrade) and especially my MCV Forge v2. The atty was...

    Pioneer4You IPV3 Li 165W / 200W With Temperature Control (Yihi SX330-V3SL )

    I just received my IPV3 Li today and I've managed to leave my instruction manual at work. I've managed to pretty much get my head around most of it, but could a kind soul explain how the Set Resistance feature works, please? I can make the setting appear by pressing +/- but I don't know how to...

    RDA MCV Forge V2

    I got mine in the mail this morning and I'm loving it. It's absolutely gorgeous. This is my second authentic MCV piece (I have a copper Overdose mechanical mod too) and the craftmanship is spot on. I have it sitting on my Sigelei 100W Plus and I think it's a good look. The deck's pretty easy...

    I've peaked. I'm content.

    Very much this. It's unbelievably easy and satisfying.

    Is that Cotton Candy??

    You could always say, "Yeah! Good spot!" and make them feel kinda good for taking an interest in your vape. :)

    I've peaked. I'm content.

    I quit smoking just under six months ago, which was two weeks after my mother and step-father started vaping. Now they're back on the cigarettes again "just for the Christmas season". Yeah, whatever. My mother keeps offering me a smoke when I visit with her - more an absent-minded gesture than...

    Help needed with my ipv3

    I know it sounds obvious, but make sure all of your atomiser screws are good and tight. You might also want to clean the 510 threads with some isopropyl alcohol/white spirit.

    ipv3 doubling resistance...

    This is a known glitch with builds around the 0.15 ohm mark, particularly with coils that have a lot of mass (like twisted coils). The first thing to try is to clean the threads of your 510 connection with some white spirit/isopropyl alcohol. It can also depend on what atomiser you're using...

    IPV3 Charger?

    D'oh! My bad. I read it as 0.13. Glad you got it fixed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IPV3 Charger?

    This is actually a known glitch that's been around since before the update. It's just now that you have an extra decimal place in the resistance readout that it's easier to notice. It's basically down to the resistance of your coils being too close to 0.15. It causes the resistance value on your...

    IPV v3 thoughts?

    This is the RiP Trippers review I'm referring to. You'll hear him talking about how the resistance "jumps up" on very low builds (I can't remember the exact time but it's after the unboxing section).

    IPV v3 thoughts?

    AquaLung: from what I understand, it's always been there. RiP Trippers mentions it in his iPV3 review. Even after I updated to the 165W upgrade it was still there. It's no big deal though. Just build above 0.2 ohms and you'll be fine. jrose152: yeah, you're not seeing it because you're...

    IPV v3 thoughts?

    Hello, fellow Scot! If you're a cloud chaser then it's not an ideal mod. The new software update allows it to run at 0.08 ohms but there's a 'glitch' in the iPV3's software. Once you get below 0.2ohms, the resistance reading on the iPV3 tries/wants to jump 'up' to 0.3 and sometimes more. This...

    1.8 vs. 0.8

    Dani, the easy answer is this: You haven't wasted your money; your 0.8 ohm coils will come in handy, just not right now. Keep using the 1.8 ohm ones and keep reading the forum. In a fairly short time, you'll start to understand the difference between 0.8 and 1.8 is in practical terms. Whoever...
