Ohms- what are they and what do they mean?

[jmeldman]

Sub Ohming? Ohms in general? Any tips about where to learn about this??

Ohms is the name for a measure of resistance just like MPH is a name for speed
subohm ( used in our context) means the amount of resistance less than 1.0 ohms.
the higher the ohms, the less electricity will flow thru the conductor ( up to a certian voltage)
Lower ohms allows more current to flow thru the conductor, thus creating more heat...

Ohm's are a unit of measurement used to determine the electrical resistance of part of a circuit. Seeing as how e-cigs are circuits, we use said measuring units in coil building

K gang- assume i am a total noob- lol- what is the RDA ?? I am trying to build my own box mod and do not understand what the rda is and etc- the coils connect to the what? then the drip tip on top and the deal where you let the excess smoke out?

EDIT: Please, please, Hold off on attempting a Mod build until you're more familar with these basic concepts.

If you think of you water faucet as a resistance to water flow:
faucet turned off = open in ohms (infinite resistance).
faucet turned full on = short in ohms (zero resistance)
faucet set somewhere between full off/on = some amount of resistance
Electrical circuits work on the same principal except the resistance value is stated in ohms.
Water flow = current
Water pressure = voltage
Water flow control = resistance
Water output = watts

Lower ohms=More heat which in turn will produce more vapor, flavor, and nic will hit you faster.

Sorry others will have to help you with your questions but I can

you to ecf jmeldmanand tell you I am glad you are here. You will find the best part of ecf is the wonderful people here that are so willing to help you in any way they can. I know. Good luck and happy vaping to you.

Please wait with the box mod build until you understand more about the technical side of how vaping works and how oto stay safe while doing it. Here's a bunch of good links to information that will help you get started on the right foot: One Stop Reference Shop For New and Experienced Vapers.

Read all you can. Hope this helps a bit
