Some time I made a coil that was too low in ohms but was lazy to make a new one so I used it anyway. The vape was too strong but after a while I've figured out that if I pulse my mechanical mod button I can regulate the power that way. After a short while I got so good at my art of pulsing that now it become a 2th nature and I can pulse out just the Voltage I desire. If you haven't yet, try it. Just pulse the button gently and soon enough you might even give up that Kick. For me it works best on bottom button mechs like Sentinel etc.

I've seen many posts by sub-ohm vapors who use this method when vaping. I call it "blipping" after the method used by WWI pilots to control rotary engines that lacked a proper throttle.

Just make sure you're using good batteries. AW and Panasonics can push a much higher amperage in short bursts as opposed to holding the switch down.

That is the Dumbest excuse I ever read for not doing something right.
A coil only takes minutes to wrap. Why chance blowing a battery?
Why advise others to get stupid and possible hurt?

Relax. I've never mentioned the actual ohms so don't jump in to any conclusions. In fact it was intended to be basic 2.4ohm coil that turned out 0.4 ohm lower = 2ohm. No danger here. I would have mentioned sub ohm if it was and personally sub ohms aren't something I'd recommend to most anyway because those can be unsafe without the right knowledge.

I've never heard of it before, but now that I have it makes perfect sense. Great point on the batteries!

What if someone tried to use your mod - Boom!

This is the dumbest excuse of a concerned post Ive ever read. What if some one read your post and assumed you took the time to find out all of the facts before you jumped down someones throat.
You dont know the resistance of the OP coil, type of battery used and so on. Building low ohm coils is not right or wrong having the knowledge and proper equipment that is whats right or wrong. Nagging dose not help anyone.

If this is such a concern to you how about learning how it can be done safely and give advise as to what equipment to use and why so you can educate people.

To the OP this dose work but it dose shorten the life of you battery from what I understand.

I generally use an atx psu to pulse my coils but i've done it a few times on regulated mods too. Lithium batteries dont just instantly explode when shorted out, they get way too hot to hold on to well before reaching thermal runaway temps. Of course overloading a battery will cause its internals to corrode somewhat which lowers the batteries capacity but personally i havent noticed any change due to pulsing.
