I think I may be one... Just built a dual parallel setup that ohm checked at 0.15 ohms.... Current batt0.3>ohms needed so I bought a segelie 150 to accommodate the low ohms.... OMG what am I doing? Buying a new box mod cuz mine wouldn't fire under 0.24 ohms..... There's your sign!
If you can read this you may be a cloud chaser

Why is it important to go under 0.3 on a VW device?
Seems pointless, but I'm not a cloud chaser. I wouldn't call this a sign of a cloud chaser though. It's be more the "shinyitis" than anything. I can just as easily get the same vapor at 1.0 ohms and higher watts as you would with lower than 0.3 ohms. That's the beauty of a VW device. Tossing the kanthal and rebuilding would've been a smarter choice and cheaper to keep it above 0.24 ohms, but it's your choice. Hope you enjoy it when you get it to fire a tiny bit lower ohms than yours can fire now.
Charles Manson once said" NO Sense Makes Sense" . So it makes sense. If it makes you happy then that's all that matters
I'd just like to know what you're using to measure 0.15 ohms because macro ohm meters are expensive.
My 510 ohm meter can read to .01, I know this because I had a piece of kanthal fall into my deck shorting the posts. Thank god I always check my builds before firing. It reads almost exactly what my ipv3 shows ohm reading at.
Whether it can read to .01 and whether it's accurate at that range are two different things. If you were building that low on a mech, I'd be more worried. As it is, a regulated mod is better for that.
This is like what I use when I need to measure less than 1/10th of an ohm

You're only guessing with a $10 ohm reader, but $4,000 bucks would be a bit much for just measuring an atomizer coil, don't ya think?!? Just a set of replacement leads for my test bench cost me almost 1k (yes I did something stupid)

Yeah I figured I'd get a lot more respect around here after quoting Charlie lolOnly the most reliable sources here
There are Fluke meters, and then there are Fluke meters. A 350 series Fluke is about $3,000 bucks.
Just for starters, a meter needs to be able to read a hundredth of an ohm to have any accuracy at tenth of an ohm, and thousandth of an ohm to have any accuracy at a hundredth of an ohm. They always round off the last decimal.
For our application that "rounding off" is no big deal above 1 ohm, but the lower we go ... the more critical it becomes.

OK to update this post my sigelei 150 and mutation xl v3 are in and my 3rd build on this puppy reads 0.135 ohms on the USA 510 ohm reader and reads 0.1 on my device. Dual parallel build 2.6 Id 6wraps 24ga vapes beautifully cooler vape than my old device at 0.25 ohms and about 1.5x's cloud production. I am happy with my purchase this thing rox!.... Edit I also found some really good juice at a reasonable price... Sub ohm vapes preffered vapes milfs milk(comparable to mother's milk) and silly wabbit (comparable to loopers) max vg are both excellent vapes and value at 40$a 120mil bottle
