I run .1 - .1ohm coils - mainly because my favorite RDA is the Stillare V3 from Cartel Mods... that RDA is a native 3-coil dripper... 3 identical coils, 6 wraps of 26g Gplat around a 2.4mm bit = .19ohm range.
I was hesitant of box mods because of their ohm restrictions, then the sigelei 150w box came out, that and the IPV3. I only rock authentic mechmods, I have quite a few $300.00+ mods in my collection, and honestly, they are all paper weights now to my sigelei... and here's why...
Looks
aside.....
The Sigelei 150w doesn't look flashy... true.
However, the sheer awesomeness of being able to run 2 VTC4 batteries, and vape all day, 8 hour work shift, on my .18ohm tri-coil dripper @ roughly 74w / 3.4v - and have still 40% battery left after 8 hours...
isnt that enough of a reason to get one?????
If you're not vaping below .5 ohm, then like the user above me said, there are so many box mods that will save you money. However, for the sub-ohm'ers out there that can deplete a VTC4 in a matter of 15 minutes, this little $109.00 box mod was a no brainer. I aboso-freaking-lutely love the ability to keep my wattage
EXACTLY a the temp I prefer (a bit warm), and be able to do a full shift without even having to charge the batteries. I was using a Cartel Brass 18650 Mod with a Mutation X V3 RDA for awhile, and I'd have to charge my VTC4's every hour and a half or so, and bring like 2 batteries with me everyday.... it sucked.
If you vape in the 2.2ohm - .5ohm range - stick with whatever, it doesn't matter.... your resistant isn't really low enough to see any difference no matter the device.
If you vape in the .5ohm - .1 ohm range - look into a 150w/100w box mod, or maybe even an unregulated box mod, but truth be told... the highest I get a pleasurable vape at is like around 85 watts.... I never go above 100w...
But that's just because the battery / atomizer market hasn't evolved yet, but it will.... it will... (hopefully
)
Hope this helps you on your journey, this is coming from a hardcore impulse-buyer, who was super reluctant to get off my mechmod train and jump into the world of dual 18650 box mods... so freaking happy I did it... and I'm so freaking happy the entire mod was only $109.00!!!
