As for the risk... The concern is that the extremely high heat generated by sub-ohm builds can potentially break down or change the chemical properties of some of the flavorings used. Who knows though... Read the info and if you don't want to take the risk, then don't...
Yes, this is the concern I've heard about. A higher chance that it could change to formaldehyde. Is higher heat characteristic of sub-ohm builds? And back to the noob questions: that's something different still from drippers, correct?
Yes, If you do a search for Ohm's law, and keep in mind that if you think of a water hose, voltage is kinda like the "pressure" of the water... Current is like the amount of flow.. I.e. you can have a normal hose with very high pressure, or a giant pipe with very little pressure but a LOT of flow, or anything in between... As for wattage, wattage is a measurement of "work", or how much heat is actually being produced essentially... and it's a function of the voltage and resistance...
To simplify, the less resistance you have in the coil for a given voltage, the more "flow" or current you are going to get... hence more wattage... hence more heat.. So typically the lower the ohms, the more heat produced... Does that mean you have to build a dripper at sub-ohm? Absolutely not.... You can build it any way you want... You can build it at 3 ohm if you want... That's the beauty of any rebuilds... you can build it any way you want... assuming you stay within safe limits of course.
Alright, cool. Very good to know. You wouldn't by any chance know of similar calculations regarding heat, would you? What I mean is, the amount of heat produced by certain resistances? I'd rather be on the safe side of that one.
I would have to believe that there are too many variables to consider. Atty design, airflow, etc...
I agree.... every post I've read by him/her just seems to get weirder and weirder. Very childish... IMO
I typically run a fairly hot vape... usually between 0.3 and 0.5 ohms on my mechanical dripper set up (I use proper batteries and resistance check ALL of my builds before first firing...) Some people vape hotter than I do, but this is what works for me... I figure it this way, even if it is hot enough to create some formaldehyde, it is likely MUCH less than what was in my cigarettes... I don't look at vaping as a SAFE alternative to smoking, I look at it as a safER alternative... only a chemist could tell me all of the unsafe concoctions that I've inhaled over my lifetime of smoking, and I'm pretty sure that same chemist would tell me that I've reduced that intake dramatically...
If you're really worried about it, then by all means, do the research and run a cooler vape... you'll still get your nicotine, you'll still get flavor and vapor... vaping in general is subjective, so if you're happy with your experience, then that is all that matters.

Yep for sure. Always just considered it a safer alternative. However, I'd still like to mitigate the risks where I can.
Right right, fair enough. Just have to start playing around with it and use some common sense I guess.
So -- by the way -- thanks to everyone who has replied in this thread!
it has been extremely informative and helpful, and given more than enough starting points. Cheers!

Any time, Harvard... this is one of the most helpful, friendly forums I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of... please, continue to contribute your thoughts and experiences and to ask any questions that may come to mind... we all love vaping and the discussions of vaping, otherwise, we wouldn't be here!
It's all about personal preference, really.
My all day vape is a kayfun lite + with a 1.2 - 1.5 ohm coil running 13 - 15 watts (depends on the particular tank & juice) on a Cana DNA 30w device. It's warm but not hot by any means. With my drippers on a mechanical mod I run .7 ohm coil. I'm pushing 25 watts with that rig, so it's a little bit warmer but still not hot. It's what I like. You'll just have to play around with it and find your "happy spot".

I'm starting to see that! Incidentally, it has also been a very fine introduction to this forum.
Well... Technically yes... 1 watt is 3.41214 BTU/hour... So it can be calculated... And watts is Voltage^2 / Ohms...
So... If you were running a 1.5ohm coil at 5 volts... 25/1.5 = 16.67 watts... = 56.88 BTU/h
That's fine on paper but what about atty design (chamber size) and airflow? You start heating a coil in a confined space, the heat starts building, right? The greater the airflow, less heat and vice versa.
