so i just put a build on my mod but it didn't fire because it only reads ohms down to .1 so i was wondering, are there any mods that fire on builds lower that .1 besides the snow wolf 200?
Did it surprise you that the build didn't fire? It should not have, if YOU made it.

Watch your speed Mr Jones.

Ok, if you made a .05 ohm coil, and wanted to fire it at 5 volts, it would be 100 amps of power. To safely use 100 amps of power, you would need a 6 battery mod to fire that sucker. relatively safe. Let's say you use a 4 battery mod running it at the max discharge of most batteries, you run the risk of it accidentally firing in your pocket.....unless you were using temperature control. Failure to vape safely risks the battery venting, which means toxic chemicals released, runaway heat buildup, and ruined mod and battery in the best case scenario.

Builds under .2 ohms should really be done in temperature control. Mods put that lower limit for a reason. What makes temperature control so different that it can fire real low ohms? Well, it fires what it needs within the mods parameters for a safer vape. If you try to push a mod or battery past it's limits, you're asking for trouble.

Resistance doesn't calculate into amp draw on a regulated mod....

Just sayin'.

It does, but it's just limited by the electronics. For him to run that sort of ohms regulated, it would require even more batteries, since most mods cap out at around 10-12.5 amps per battery. So, if he wanted to run a .05 ohm coil for a resistance build, the mod would probably require 8 batteries for a good vape....or pulse it so slow it's a bad vape. :)

It's a basic formula.

Amps=max wattage used/minimum voltage

Resistance does not play a factor, besides the mod being able to fire it.
