Nothing to apologize for. I answered it somewhat in hope that she reads it and maybe gets an understanding of what I failed so miserably to say. Though I suspect she has put me on ignore (which honestly if I irritate her that much she should do).I'm so sorry Myrany, I should have been clearer. I wasn't confused, I thought she might have been. It's rockin' post though and agree with all of it.
I have no hard feeling towards her at all.
Sub ohming just means that you vape a coil that is less than 1 ohm. For example temp control devices frequently vape very low ohm coils because of the lowered resistance of the different wire (SS, Ni etc). They are doing it on a regulated device that is not going to fire a bad coil and hence has no more risk than an above 1 ohm coil on a P1. In fact the vapor production may or may not be any higher.
The cloud chaser in the cereal isle are frequently (but not always) pushing the boundaries of what is safe. They are more what I call sport vapers. How much can I get away with types.
To lump both together and put ALL the blame of FDA deeming onto ALL subohm vapers is just grossly wrong. Deeming in itself has nothing to do with Subohm vaping IMHO. It is about money and crony capitalism as well as ANTZ.
The Cereal isle how much can I get away with types do not help the vapers cause(As they provide a convenient target for ANTZ) but they did not cause the deeming.[/QUOTE]
Doy do I agree with that. Some people really like subohming although I don't agree with TC as subohming. It usually means people who use coils less then 1 ohm that are Kanthal, Nichrome, SS. In wattage mode so cloud chasers.
In wattage mode they are still on a regulated mod that is going to not fire a bad coil. Cloud chasing is not necessarily a bad thing. Doing it unsafely or in a way to deliberately annoy those around them is.
I agree with that but like I say in this state no more of that except in your car or house. Your car will look like Cheech and Chongs.
Have you checked out some of the subohm attys now like the Aspire Cleito. Heard good things about that and it's cheap 18.99 and the heads are Kanthal clapton will vape at 50 or 60w.
I should probably clarify something.
I have 3 subtank minis set up with .5 ohm kanthal builds all on regulated devices.
I have 1 subtank set up with a factory made clapton coil also .5 ohm on a regulated device
I have the drip box setup with the factory coil at .22 ohm(I think) on the regulated dripbox mod. This one is going to get redone higher it is too much cloud for me.
I have one REO setup with a .7 ohm coil. Yes this is a mech but at .7 ohm it pulls less than half the ohms the high quality battery I have in it can take.
My other 2 REOs are at 1 ohm exactly.
So yes I am a subohmer. I want just enough vapor to satisfy my need to smoke but not enough to become a public nuisance. I also never vape in public except in my own car which my husband does not object to.

No most of my devices will not fire that high a watts. I say most because I am not sure what the VTC Mini's top end is.
Also I am about stocking up on what I have that I know I can sustain rather than chasing shineys at this point.
The one subtank I have with the .5 ohm factory clapton coil in it I only run at 20 Watts. It just has such GOOD flavor to it.
I would even give it a try at 18.99 with heat cups extra tank and 2 coil heads. Man that is a great price. 4 diff color cups. and a vape band
You can't Cheech and Chong your car here if your kid is in it. I've actually forgotten which ones they have passed here. Some are local. Can't remember if vaping is banned in your apartment or condo in the Bay Area. It's insane.
I don't blow much of a cloud (1.8 coil @ 3.7-3.9 with 80/20 juice) on a provari but the lower my nic went the more important it was to see something exhaled. Not volumes, just a little more than a cigarette. I works for me, myself and I but would drive many back to smoking. I never try to judge a vaper unless they're being obnoxious
Best thing in the world is run across somebody that's quit smoking and loves their setup.
Yep, every time I run into one that is not happy with their setup - I point them to ECF... Now that we have a local vape shop - they drive what is predominately used in the area...
Even before I took the jump into subohm I was vaping at 1.2 ohm. It wasn't until I did take the jump down that I realized that the slightly increased heat and vapor production really helped me with the lack of TH in a high VG (50/50) low nic 1 mg juice I vape most of the time.I don't blow much of a cloud (1.8 coil @ 3.7-3.9 with 80/20 juice) on a provari but the lower my nic went the more important it was to see something exhaled.

Even so my kanthal .5 ohm builds I only run at 14.3 Watts. The clouds really are not all that big at that low a level. LOL
But you last line is the most important. Everyone needs to find what satifies them at whatever ohm level it is.
I have tried subohming on these STM's but their coil heads suck. I don't have any 24awg Kanthal but I do have some 26 if I wrapped it at 5 wraps 3mm it would be .7. Hae you thought of trying those slotted SS coils. They are 5mm though. Not sure how they would work on a STM cause the legs are kinda easy to break they are really made for the velocity coil heads.
On the STM I wind my own Kanthal coils in the rebuildable deck. I really don't BUY coils. I was given the pack of clapton coils LOL.
I want to say I do 5 wraps on 2.5 mm with 26 gauge Kanthal. That puts me right at .5 or a tad over.
