Once you start dripping even around 1.5 ohm you will edge it down more and more. Then you will buy a mech mod just so you can go lower and lower. I too am a flavor junkie and found my mark at around .8 ohm with cotton wick on most of my preferred juices. It's inevitable that when you drip and learn what the real flavors are and different flavors at different ohms and power you will play.

hey guys!
i see everybody dripping usually on a sub ohm coil
i want to buy a dripper for the flavor but i don't have a mechanical mod. i have an mvp and i can go as low as 1.5 ohms safely.
i'm not into cloud chasing at all. i want flavor, a little bit of throat hit and clouds come last.
can i get good flavor on a 1.5-1.8 ohm microcoil with cotton or do i need to get a mech and build lower coils?

Don't be fooled or influenced by the Sub-Ohm crowd. You don't need to be a Sub-ohmer to enjoy a dripping atomizer.

In my honest opinion to much is made of the Sub-Ohm coil building. Someone tried it, posted someplace (made a video of it) that the flavor and vapor was out of this world so all the Want To Be's (Want to be just like that other guy instead of myself) jumped on the bandwagon and now we have this = "You have to Sub-Ohm to get the most of of your Juice and your dripper". That is a Flat Out Lie.

Enjoy your new dripper, whichever you choose, with your standard ohm coil builds.

I usually drip at 0.5ohms.
I could (and i have) tried the same setup with a 1 and 1.2 build and it works ok, but the 0.5 build give more flavor more vapor more TH, the vapor feels denser and hotter.
So it can be done but it's settling for less.

Sorry but maybe some people like the flavor they get from their juice already, along with the amount of vapor produced, the temp of the vape and do not want a harder throat hit.

This isn't about getting any of the things you list. Fine if someone wants that they can Sub-Ohm.

All of what you list as a plus for you is a complete and total negative for me.

I've been dripping on an Igo-W lately and have found about a 1.7-2.0Ω coil to work very well. It compares well to the 306, 401, 510, 901, and eGo-Type B attys I've dripped over the years. Properly wicked and coiled an RDA will work very well on your MVP-2.

Is that single coil 30 gauge?

For dripping micro coils 1.5Ω-1.8Ω ribbon works best for me. 2Ω micro ribbon was too long of a coil and didn't feed the center, didn't heat up the whole coil fast enough.

I've been considering going bigger diameter and really high ohms with volts to match just to see the difference.
No, you don't need low or sub-ohms to find joy. I think that's just a fad. Personally I didn't like sub-ohm enough to give it much of a try, the lower I go the less I like it, that's why I tried the 2Ω micro.
