Mod with Ohms control?

    So I had a morph 2 that ended up breaking after a few months that had a manual menu Ohm control option that allowed me to increase or decrease the current ohms by up to 4 lower/higher settings. This meant that when the Coil wouldn't read correctly I could increase or decrease the Ohms manually.

    However I dread having to buy another Morph 2 because that one broke in less than 4 months

    I am in USA and really don't need anything fancy. Can I get mod recommendations that allows you to manually increase or decrease Ohms?

    Max budget is $60

    Thank you

    I’ve never heard of ohm control. Ohms is the resistance of the coil “ye canne change the laws of physics capt’n”

    That this thing had ohm control at all makes me not want to use it. This sounds to me like an absence of actual ohm detection at all and a sorta fake ohm setting to make the numbers work which is kinda 2010 lowball. Im not sure you’re going to find a lot of stuff that is new and that primitive at the same time. With the rise of disposables all sorts of chintzy stuff has come back though. Both Technology and politics working in reverse these days.

    If you want a DL build for $60 I can do that though
    Vandyvape Pulse3 kit and some fused Clapton coils would be a squonk kit that will DL well and have decent if not awesome TC. I don’t remember the capacity. Something close to 10ml. Takes single 21700 batteries so you’ll want 3 of those and a decent 2 space charger. Get you out of that whole “is it charged up yet?” Thing. Yes. It’s always charged, because when you’re vaping down one battery the other two are charging so just swap the batteries and it’s charged again.
    Batteries should be about $6 apiece so $18 for those, $50 for the kit, and $12 for the charger, which is a bit more than $60, but if you want instead just get one battery and watch it charge in the device. I hate that personally and $30 is totally worth it to not have to do that imho, but it’s not actually required.

    I think here you are actually referring to wattage control instead of ohm control. A mod can have VW, variable watts. Just do a search for "VW mods". I'm surprised that a Smok lasted you that long! A few months is a few centuries in Smok time.. A few good names that come to mind are Innokin, Eleaf, and ehPro.

    As the others have stated too, the mod you mentioned is your garden variety Variable Wattage type. You should have no problem finding something in your price range.

    Does argue against the “Smok is better now” thing I have been hearing lately. Smok mods at one point had a truly horrible reputation for just that reason. Everything they made broke in months. It was so bad some shops had to quit carrying them because replacing broken stuff was just too expensive. It was considered the worst of the worst. The Huffy of vape mods. Shops got a bad rep if it was their main brand. It sort of said “we are ignorant”.

    Let me make your day.. SMOK T-Priv 3, had it for 6 years, change the ohms to .020 up or down from orginal ohms. $50

    Smok seems to have a mixed rep currently. I cant tell if a 6 year old t-priv is an outlier or not. If it does last 6 years it’s nice. The question is will it? Smok used to have a rep for products that lasted weeks. Theyd die as soon as they were dropped once. Generally because of poor solder joints. I’d heard smok’s acquisition of wotofo fixed that, but id also heard it didn’t. Hard to know.

    I understand the "ohm control" question.
    Some mods provide this possibility (change the ohm value of your coil) mainly for temperature control accuracy.
    Some old joyetech/eleaf/wismec mods, once tweaked with Arcticfox firmware, give that possibility.
    Old pico 75, pico 25, Ravage, Espion, Rx75 for example.
    Only models with a classic micro usb connector.
    The hardest part will be to find one, and tweak it with Arcticfox.
    As Arcticfox is now a closed projet, you'll have to find somebody to send you the correct files for your mod and teach you how to install it.
    I can give some help if needed.

    I now some other mods can do that natively but i can't remember the ones ...

    Cool, but it still may be an outlier. If there ARE NO t-privs exhibiting the bad soldering issue THEN it is known to be fixed. Your statement implies it, but doesn't confirm it. I recall reading about people not having problems but recently I've been reading about people having problems again. I did NOT note which models unfortunately. It may be a line vs line manufacturing issue. SMOK may be mining their brand, but only with some manufacturing lines. Brand mining is by definition an attempt to screw the consumer by selling substandard products Masquerading as decent ones. It may be that SOME lines were fixed but others weren’t. I don’t know. I’m currently considering them ALL bad until I stop hearing about bad SMOK mods, or can confirm which types are ok and which ones aren’t.
