Just messing about and this was the end result .

Ended up on .4 ohms

Dont seem to be getting more vapour than with dual coil.

Awesome, Zegee. That's intricate work, you could be a surgeon! That must be on the outer limits of sub-ohm at 0.4.

What? 0.4 ohms??? That is nearly a dead short mate. I wonder why it did not blow your bat or explode it. It surely should have. If you have a 3.7v bat and use a resistance of 0.4ohms, you will pull 9.25 amps from the bat. My 220v fridge is 5.5 amps for goodness sakes. You seem to want a big hole in your face mate.
The lowest you can go is 1.5 ohm for any bat. That will pull just over 2.5 amps from a 3.7v bat.
I vape at 3.4v with a 3 ohm coil and get plumes of vapor and good TH. If you want more vapor, go for more VG in your liquid.
Remember this. V in VG = Vapor. P in PG = Punch like in TH.
Now stop being silly. Your face looks good enough on your avatar so don't mess it up.

Nick is actually right. At 3.7 volts, he will be pulling 9.25 amps. A fully charged battery however will pull 10.5.
Either way, 0.4 is clearly getting towards the red line. I would imagine most of us here are using the 10amp batteries.
The Sony 20 amp or better would be a safer bet if you really must push it.

Also not completely correct. A 3.7v bat will charge to 4.1v open circuit and under zero load. Now if you apply a load to it. ie. Fire it, it will drop to 3.7v. Once the 4.1v drops to 3.7v with zero load, it will be flat and drain rapidly.
Same as a car bat. A fully charged bat will be 12.95v and if it measures 12.75v under no load your car won't start.
Just a triviality.

Strangly, if I go lower than 2.8ohms at 3v then my juice burns and tastes like cr@p. Yet some guys Vape at 1ohm and 3.7v. Wonder how that works. Perhaps it is the juice.
