I'm new to the cloud chasing community.....I like squonking as well. Anyone have some suggestions for mods and rdas? Also types of builds.

I use a Sigelei 213 with a Twsited Messes Squared RDA having two clapton coils. I vary the wattage from 120W to 170W depending on what I'm vaping. I get great taste and there are plenty of clouds, but I'm not chasing clouds. The clouds are a by product of vaporizing the e-liquid in a very fine mist.
There is a new video on Sigelei 213 TC which uses the Fahrenheit scale here, but if you want to make use of standard Centigrade charts buy the Sigelei Fuchai 213.

Aspire Atlantis at .5 ohms and 32 watts...

Awesome, I freakin love this site haha! So much good info!
what do you guys think the best mod is for cloud chasing, preferrably one 18650 battery
Cloud chasing is mainly about experimenting to get a vape satisfying to your taste and preferences, just like everything else vaping, vaping in all forms is unique to the end user. However there are some safety guidelines to keep in consideration. Never, ever build or run a setup that maxes out or goes over your battery CDR (Continuous Discharge Rating), in other words how many amps you are pulling, on a mechanical/unregulated this is calculated as "fresh battery charge voltage/resistance (your ohm reading)=max amps will be pulled", regulated the formula is "Wattage Setting/lowest battery charge voltage/mod efficiency=max amps will be pulled". Single battery mods I use 4.2v for fresh charge (mech), 3.2v lowest battery charge (regulated), mod efficiency I generally use 0.9 (90%), series battery configuration (one battery up, one down for dual battery, two battery up, one down for triple battery setup, multiply voltage X number of batteries in the series (uses same mah and CDR of a single battery, Samsung 25R as example married in a double battery series, 8.4v full charge 6.4v lowest charge 2500mah 20amp CDR), parallel all batteries up, you get the same voltage of a single battery, but Mah and CDR load is balanced between the batteries, so multiply by number of batteries (Samsung 25R again dual battery parallel as example, 4.2v high voltage 3.2v low voltage, 5000mah (2500mah X2), 40amp CDR (20amp CDR X2)).
Mech/Unregulated Single Battery Mod
4.2v/1ohm=4.2amps
4.2v/0.5ohm=8.4amps
4.2v/0.25ohm=16.8amps <---Lowest/Safest Build on Single Batt Mech I personally run
Mech/Unregulated Dual Battery Series Mod like the Noisey Cricket
8.4v/1ohm=8.4amps
8.4v/0.5ohm=16.8amps <----Lowest/Safest Build on a Dual Series Batt Mech I personally run
Mech/Unregulated Dual Battery Parallel
4.2v/1ohm=4.2amps
4.2v/0.5ohm=8.4amps
4.2v/0.25ohm=16.8amps
4.2v/0.15ohm=28amps <----Lowest/Safest Build on a Dual Parallel Batt Mech I personally run
Regulated Single Battery Mod (Example Evic VTC Mini /w Version 3 Firmware (75watts Max))
75watts/3.2v=23.4375/0.9=26.04166666666667amps
60watts/3.2v=18.75/0.9=20.83333333333333amps
Regulated Dual Battery Parallel (Example iStick100w TC)
100watts/3.2v=31.25/0.9=34.72222222222222/2 batteries=17.36111111111111 amps per battery
Regulated Dual Battery Series (Example Sigelei 150watt)
150watts/6.4v (3.2v per battery)=23.4375/0.9=26.04166666666667 amps each battery has to sustain
Remember with multi-battery mods, buy the batteries in married sets, mod needs two batteries, buy 4, and pair them into two sets (set 1a/1b, set 2a/2b), charge and use the sets together never mix matched, always same brand same model of battery, never by them selves, these batteries are now monogomous to each other "Married" to be faithful to each other until death do they part, triple battery mods sets of three, this keeps each battery in a set equal to the other, for if one gets weaker and has more use than the other, it puts undo strain on the strongest battery to pull the rest of the load, weakest link will be the failing link in the chain.
Check out @Mooch and @Baditude 's blogs, a lot of good info on safety and batteries, link in my signature leads to blogs I've done to help as well.
Stay Safe out there
Im still learning all this stuff. Thanks for the info but its kind of hard to understand to an inexperienced vaper. I have a dripbox which is 60 watts. Just ordered a velocity v2 and some .15 ohm coils....with 2 .15 ohm coils does that make it a total of .3 ohms? The lower the build the more vapor output?
Depends on how the coils are done, series or parallel. Coils in series are on one continuous wire, so 2 0.15ohm series coils would be 0.3ohm (like series battery doubling up). 2 individual 0.15ohm coils would be in parallel, parallel coil setups (99% of them out there) the resistance splits/number of coils, example using your 0.15ohm coils, 0.15/2coils=0.075ohms this is not safe on any device in my opinion unless it is Ni200 Nickel being used in Temperature Control Mode on a Temp Control Mod. Honestly for now given your admitting your experience, I'd cancel the order on the 0.15ohm coils and get 0.5ohm coils, a dual coil would rate in around 0.25ohms, unless of course those coils are already mounted together in coil deck the Drip Box uses.
Thank you very much. I'm going to play around with it on my meter. Does the battery make a difference? I just want to build as low as possible with some 20 gauge nichrome....
