Is it worth putting an ohm readout on a VW mod??

[mre777]

If i was to say build a mod with a dna 12, would it be worth it to put a display to check your ohms on it? I use a lot of rebuildables and geniuses style atomizers and i like the feature but isn't the dna 12 an adjust to taste kind thing? Just looking for some input here. And if anyone has some links to some nice ohm display setups and wiring in regards to the dna 12 I would appreciate it

in my opinion, not worth it.

It just adds bulk to a feature that you really don't need (integrated), and probably wont use.

what's wrong with just using an ohm meter while making the rebuildable?

even if the ohms varies over time, the DNA will adjust itself to those minor changes...

adjust to taste, then just keep vaping.

How often do you burn through coils

+1, really.

Ohm meters can provide useful information about the coils in various attys and cartomizers. Ohm knowledge is particularly useful for those of us who rebuild attys, etc. A lot of removing, checking replacing (+ adaptors perhaps) can be eliminated. Some of my coils often need a little adjustment to work effectively. Often all this takes is some slight adjustment which I might do via removing the mouthpiece and/or other construction and adjusting the coil with a needle. Sometimes they need a little playing...back and forth. It is easier to read it from the mod, more or less 'on the fly,' than unscrewing, getting out the Ohm meter, attaching probes, making a reading, making an adjustment and putting it all back and hoping the adjustment stuck. If not, repeat the preceding.

Having said that, I do no yet have a mod with an Ohm meter built in, but I hope to.

PS It seems that IE10 Preview Edition (or however it is termed) for Windows 7 has on the fly spell checking similar to MS Work or Outlook. I'm not sure if that is related to my previous installation of IeSpell or not.

Well my rebuild-able atomizers can last a while but i tend to redo them after about a week just cuz i like to tinker. I just got so used to the ohm check on the vvGriper. Im not sure what life will be like building with out it I tend to build while its on the mod so taking it off to check seems like a pain. I am leaning toward not putting one on it because of the features that come with VW devices like the DNA 12. Does anyone know if the DNA 20 has ohm check?

it will have 100%.
but, if you're making VW why you need to use it? dna 12 can check and adjust watts without your hands just set hiw many watts do you need (up to 11) and have a vape. i sure you making same coils each time at each rba, so ut's on your own
os. if your build wilk have only vv mode - yes, its needs for me

Not required.

VW is nothing like VV. When a vaper knows his sweet spot, it gets set and pretty much stays there. I am running 3 kicks, theyb are all set at 8W. Regardless what I fire on them, the output is 8W to include but not limited to RBAs

So do you just rebuild and go? Not even bother to check ohms? With VW i could see this as a very feasible option.

Too many people fussing with voltage and ohms. Back in the day before VV and VW yes it was a concern. Now, screw and burn I vape 8W it doesn't matter what I put on, the device adjusts and puts out 8W.

... an example. Why do folks insist on using LR atties on a VV device. Or someone vaping a set up (eGo tiwst) at 3.7V and wants to vape it at 4.4 although he states he is extremely happy at 3.7.

8 watts on three wraps of 28g is so concentrated it will probabaly burn the juice while 8 watts on 10 wraps of 28g the heat is spread out over a greater area and give a great vape. Constant watts with all attys does not equate to same vaper. There are many other factors but the main factor is the wire temperature and 8 watts on three wraps is much hotter than on 10 wraps of the same wire.

Read it BJ a while back, and yes it is correct.

It's the "because i can" mentality.

We live in a glutinous society.

This one bugs me more:
Vaping CAN be a low cost habit, in respect to the cost of analogs. but yet people buy $150+ mods and complain that a $1 carto wont last a month....

Even though your thread is very true and valid, it is pointless to keep bringing it up as a method of setting up "the sweet spot" when it comes to your average vaper.
Until there is a device that i can vape on by turning a dial that adjusts the coil heat. it is not something that i will think about.
I will continue to wrap my coils and use my VW device to adjust as desired.

BJ, dont take it the wrong way, but Watts do matter, if you wrap all your attys & tanks with the same gauge wire

 

[martinc]

If you have the provision to have it all (the info) why discard it?

I say go for the full enchiladas,that way you wont regret it later.

There is not anything I hate more than ''I should have...''

True and I have a couple of DNAs and love them, but even if you wrap the same each time, on ss genesis it is easy to get a short and only half your coils are heating. An ohm meter will immediately confirm this and that is the topic of this thread. I would love an ohm meter on all my mods and so would my wife, she is sick of seeing the multimeter on the coffee table.

 

[BuzzKilla]

OFF TOPIC IDEA:

We already have mods that can read ohms, watts, volts & amps. is there a formula that would be able to determine "heat" or some type of algorithm??? actually this should be left for the other thread....


ON TOPIC:

if your constantly adjusting the coil to fix shorts... you need to resolve your coil making abilities.
I'm not claiming to be a pro, but 5 min of fiddling with a new coil and i don't get any more shorts. It just keeps going until i need a cleaning, and even after a dry-burn and brush-off it is rare that i encounter a short.

So i don't feel an ohm meter is a necessity to be part of a mod.
If it is not something that you use at least twice a day, why carry around the extra bulk? BUT, if it doesnt add any bulk to your mod (software) it wont hurt... unless you have to do a million clicks just to be able to see an ohm reading (the provari dance).

 

[slimest]

Agree with Killa. Why to carry an electronic laboratory if you just can adjust everything once and then use? What is the purpose of vaping - just to vape or to enjoy displays? (I suspect different opinions )

 

[asdaq]

If the nicotine intake is too low, repeatedly clicking through menus might prove therapeutic. I agree with adding an ohmmeter only if it requires no additional space, like a DNA type device or MCU/PWM. I finally broke down and got a 1s-6s Voltmeter, but never to build into a mod, rather as a travel replacement for a DMM to check battery charges- resistance is set and forget.
