, just trying to learn from everyone as I still consider myself very new to all this. 
Vaping 5 years + Still new to this + Owns a DNA 20 = Modesty overload
Welcome aboard!
Just shy and when I see how much people know and the knowledge in these threads, I do feel very very new... Still trying to understand ohms law !,, I used a Silver Bullet and dripped for 3 years,,,, I was out of the loop and content with what I had untill I realized the vape world had changed dramatically since I started.
wow, thats a nice looking setup. I'm still new here myself but welcome to ECF. this place has been great for me.
Xtx4, with 5 years under your belt I'm sure you have some knowledge others here will benefit from. Nice setup, BTW.
And if Ohm's Law sounds confusing, just use this for now (VERY handy!): Watts - volts - amps - ohms conversion calculator

Thank you so much, what I am really tring to understand is the difference between volts and watts. It seems as Watts raise, volts can stay the same ?, do I have that correct,,,, how do they relate. And I am trying to read about why low ohms plus high voltage is unsafe potentially.. I am reading all the threads thoroughly but I am by no means an electrical engineer. what I typically have done is watch reviews and see what works for others. Now I am actually trying to really understand.
A common analogy used to describe Ohm's law is the flow of water through a pipe. The pressure of the water being put into the pipe is like the voltage(volts). The size of the pipe is like resistance(ohms), as it limits how much water can flow through the pipe. The water coming out of the end of the pipe is like the power output(watts), which is measured by how much water is coming out and how fast it is moving. If you increase the water pressure going into the pipe (voltage), you increase the water coming out of the pipe (watts). If you make the pipe bigger (decrease resistance), you allow more water to come out (watts). Volts are the raw energy going in and watts is the actual energy being outputted.
Another way to look at it would be how water relates to a dam. The water on one side of the dam (voltage) is slowed down by the dam (resistance-ohms) and then flows on the other side of the dam (watts).
An analogy that might help you understand why high voltage + low resistance carries more danger would be drinking from a water source. Would you rather drink from a garden hose, which would be like vaping 3.6 volts at 2.5 ohms = 5.184 watts, or would you rather drink from a water cannon, which would be like vaping 6 volts at 0.8 ohms = 45 watts?
I hope that helps a little.

So, what did you think of vapecom3. I have never been to one and would like to know.

Very nice set. I'm still a noob but I am a chemistry major and sort of diving into DIY juicing. Any help would be greatly appreciated from anyone!
Hi Dan, it was interesting, very very crowded and hot, the room was to small for the number of people that showed up. I went alone but still was able to meet some great people. I was able to talk to every vendor and that was great. I also got tons of juice samples. One of the main reasons I went is that it's so expensive to just randomly order juice, pay for shipping and then wait a week and then you may not like it. I found it great to ask each vendor what they recomended for my taste, then only pay a small amount or sometimes free to get some juice and try it right there.
I would go again in a few years.
