Cloud chasing and sub ohm foolishness

The general angle most anti-subohm crusaders take is one of ignorance, which is never good. The promotion of ignorance through unnecessarily broad proclamations about something are the same forces that would take away your vaping rights in the example you give.
Let's see, it was a .9 ohm coil (note: a Pbusardo approved resistance), he was sold AW batteries and a poldiac, hot spring, he has an ohmmeter, you made a bunch of assumptions and talked down bigtime on the OP, and as a result he left the thread. That is EXACTLY the kind of behavior that doesn't help.
Does anybody but me notice a high percentage of these cloud-chasers are from the Los Angeles area?
And yes, I'm going there.
It is my impression that there is a subculture growing quickly in that area.
And not all of them vape for the reasons we do.

I use to love waffles but then this meteor flew to close to the earth and ruined them for me!
I agree with ocelot if you know what you are doing and understand the risk you take have at it and take a pic for us.
whats getting out of hand is
"hi everyone moving up from my ego, and dont know what mod to get, i seen a youtoo video and Urp De Durp can I haz epic cloudz too?"

Going on and on about potential for explosion and death if the risk of it actually happening is low to nil is counterproductive -- it is fodder for regulation.

Hot mod and hot battery. Hmmm. Two collapsed hot springs. Hmmmmm. The kid had an obvious hard short and didn't recognize it nor the obvious red flags that experienced vapors could. Made a bunch of assumptions? I asked plenty of questions, only a few were answered by OP.
The fact that he hadn't done his homework on RBA usage and didn't even know why a multimeter would be useful showed me he had no business using that RBA yet. And the salesman had no business selling it to him without some teaching on his end first and encouraging him to educate himself before allowing him to use it.
I admitted in that thread that I came down hard on him. It was the wrong approach for that situation. But I was so amazed that this could happen I reacted in a non-professional manner. Excuse me for being human.
I learned from the experience. I created the blog to provide some necessary resource links to help get someone like that started in the right direction, and to this day I provide that link to those who can benefit from it. They still need to do the homework themselves. I'm not their babysitter.

All of what your nice people are saying is true about safety but as for my self I spend 3 monthes surfing threw ecf u tube and other forums about sub ohm and if you have all you need for safety guess what it's as safe as any regulated PV out there 30 amp batt multi metter safety fuse and 8 months of rebuilding 3 attys a week 1 genny and 2 dripers that's 100 or so rebuilds as I will say again if you know what you are doing it is safe !
My mango juice tastes fantastic at .3 ohm.
Hey ! My beautiful face is still here
There you go again with that trident jim
rock on bro
After some thinking, I've decided to forego the mech mod/rsst route. While a lot of my friends who are vapers have made the switch, I've gotten to thinking that it's just not for me.
OK. I don't think we'll get anyone to admit it but it would only be fair to ask. I asked this before too in that thread you linked to Baditude...
And I preface this with a firm conviction that SLR in not necessary. However, it's a free country. So, the question is:
Has anyone ever blown up an IMR on a mech with a dead short or sub-ohm vaping? And if yes, which was it? Did the mech handle the venting? (we're not talking stacked batteries here, nor other chemistry other than IMR or hybrids labeled IMR).

Sounds like that thread ought to be forgotten then, not held up as some kind of example. You have no idea how much that person knew about vaping.
You do know AttyPops was just funnin' at your ironic - intentional or otherwise - choice of wording? I had to re-read twice (the hi-lighted part...) before I got the funny. We all now AttyPop's position on this topic.
They tell me not to stack batteries, but I do. Every laptop out there does exactly the same thing.
I vape 7.4 volts on a 5 ohm coil a good percentage of the time. Am I afraid, NO. Can problems occur? Possibly. But I try to educate myself on battery types and how to handle any problem, like shorts. I've used sub-ohm coils, but I prefer the high voltage side. And I'm not going to stop driving just because there are a few idiots on the road. If you want 750 horsepower in your Geo Tracker, more power to you. I'm happy that you found your sweet spot.

She was double-punning. (venting
)Really? My somewhat-fair and cautious position is well known?
