Hello, ECF!
I'm completely new to ECF and actually forums in general. I'm quite familiar with them however, as I usually browse them. I started vaping around the beginning of December, 2013. It was an instant hobby. I started out with an Ego-T Upgrade and a CE4 Clearo but I knew right off the bat that I could achieve much more from personal vaporizers. I quickly got familiar with mods and different types of tanks, clearos, attys, etc. By February I was the proud owner of a Mini Lavatube v2, topped with an iClear 30. Still my current setup, but, yet again, I knew what I had couldn't possibly be the "height" of basic vaping. I scoured the internet on how to achieve more vapor production and flavor. What I first came across was sub-ohm vaping. Luckily I do a lot of research about things I take a liking to, as I soon after discovered sub-ohm is NOT the answer, as some seem to think. It all depends on the grade of kanthal you use, how many wraps you do on a coil, (not as much) the RDA itself in minor cases (airflow for example), the quality of battery you use in a mech, regulators in vv/vw mods, most of us know these things. As I currently stand, I'm well educated on all things mods and toppers, including RDAs, coils, Ohm's Law and how it applies to everything, batteries, and such, and how it all ties together. I would consider myself to be able to make the best vapor shop employee in my area, as there aren't any actual "gurus" here, save one employee at my favorite local vape shop.
That does it for my intro, now on to my questions.
), I know limits and use the ohm's law calculator to make sure I know what battery to use, what voltage to set my mod at, etc. Various common sense and info pertaining to various aspects and such. Anyway...As the final ohm reading for that particular build comes to .8-.9, what I'm most concerned about is if that build will work on my Lavatube. I've seen in some places, people talking about how they use RDAs with various builds on them, various ohm readings down to .5 and such, on their Lavatube, but then again I saw others say my Tube model wouldn't even fire on a coil with an ohm reading below 1.2. I tried to look into the specs of my model myself, but alas all they say about it is "Short Circuit/Atomizer protection".
I know of mods that will read a "short circuit" from a low-ohm coil, so I'd just like to make sure. If my mod won't take my build, I'll either just get some higher ga kanthal or make a couple more wraps on the coils.
I'd like to be able to use this build on my LavaTube to be able to change my voltage, therefore wattage based on the known coil resistance and max amperage output of my battery, knowing my safe ranges. But at any rate, if it won't work, I'm not too worried about it. I'll just wait a little longer for my Sentinel M16 clones to arrive.
Thanks in advance for the replies and help/inputs!
Vape on.
