With the DNA200 you can get full 200w from a .4ohm build. I don't think the original poster realizes this judging by his comments and he will probably deny what i say is true, so here is a pic straight from the DNA200 data sheet.

I didn't bother reading the entire thread.

Not offended, but the information your posting can and will mislead new vapers. For vaping you choose what u like and it's entirely your decision, there is no right or wrong. To say DNA200 users are SOL is an overstatement.

It honestly seems like your getting into a who carry's a bigger stick argument, the lower the resistance you Vape at the bigger the stick you're carrying?

I have a kayfun lite plus that I enjoy tootle puffing MTL style at 0.8-1.7. I have RTAs that I build from 0.25 to 0.8 direct lung hit style. I have clearos with prebuilt coils ranging from 0.25 to 1.2.

The point of vaping, for me, is to quit analogs, whatever setting helps you is the right setting. There is no right or wrong resistance at the right or wrong wattage. Your acting as if there's a certain resistances and wattage that we should all bow to...but vaping isn't about who's able to sub ohm at the lowest resistance.

You want to fire at sub 0.1ohms? Go for a mod that does this, buy a mech mod, good luck finding a battery, and don't let it blow up in your face. The problem with the misinformation about exploding ecigs is because of your mentality, users feel they need to vape at 0.00001ohms @ 10000 watts so they can look cool in front of their friends.

Ok enough from me, I'll stop feeding the troll.

Herb, I hate to interrupt, but if you have anything to say to the above.... ^^^...

Mechs are too dangerous. Only people who believe in untrustworthy and completely replicatable devices would trust one.
Or someone that actually understands their gear.
:facepalm:
Apparently there are quite a few members in this thread that don't understand their gear or ohms law.
The fail is extremely strong here.

The DNA 200 does not leave anyone in the dark. Its a regulated mod. The max voltage output is 9 volts. It has an extremely low minimum resistance before it pops up the short error. I don't remember what it was, I think it was Pbasardo that tested it but it was lower then .05.

From a purely technical aspect, as long as it fires and does not display the shorted message it will fire up to a max of 9 volts or 200 watts whichever limit is hit first.

Forget about what anyone has said about this chip and read the specs. Its all there. It is a little vague about the minimum resistance. otherwise all other info is clear.

Not sure why there's a trend to build to MAX out your device, all this equates to is VERY bad battery life.

If your cloud chasing then your trying to brute force it. There is an art to tweeking your builds. seek balance in all things in the set up for maximizing cloud production.

The same thing goes for the vapor that just likes a hot vape. 150+ watts and a Dangerously low resistance build is not required and is terribly inefficient.
If I remember correctly the DNA 200 (don't remember what mod) even fired Pbusardo's tweezers (or was it screwdriver). That's some seriously low ohms...

Thanks for reassuring me they are NOT sol... I'll explain how I feel about that...:

I get a lot of premade coils and even coils that I build that are usually around 2 ohm, and some of them even at .15 ohm, produce decent amount of vapor. But it is nothing fantismal, there is simply not enough vapor being produced to allow me to feel as if I am vaping a "sub ohm" kind of ordeal. Now, honestly I don't understand why you ask, because if I want the decent amount of vapor I have to go with more power. Obviously too one of the reasons this was posed that they are "SOL": Most good mods fire down to .05 which is a lot more power than .15, as I see it anyway and I've been vaping for about a full year now too.

So I need the power, .05 seems like a hell of a lot more power than .15, and also I've never vaped below .1 ohm. So you tell me then: Why vape below .1 ohm?

Is it just to get a kick?... Or as I see it, do the .1+ ohm setups really kind of tend to start reminding oneself of "tootlepuffers" in general.... lol
Resistance doesn't equal power. On mech mods you'll get more power with a lower resistance coil due to the voltage being set (lowering with each hit though, of course). It's really watts that you're looking for (to keep it simple). On a regulated mod you can get the same watts with a .05 and a 1 ohm coil (as long as it's within the mod's voltage range). As a rule of thumb you're better of with a coil with more surface area, and therefore higher resistance.

Yes, I read somewhere that it will even fire with a screwdriver stuck in the 510.

I really hope that is ok and will not bite me later down the road.

    Resistance:
    • Very low resistance (<=0.1 ohm) from ether using: to large of wire, not enough windings, Ni200 or multiple coil builds (there is only SO MUCH space in our atomizers for coils/windings/wire)
    • 1-2ohm 'high resistance' from ether using: to small of wire, to many windings, wrong wire type or simple single coil builds
    In my world, it comes down to surface area, heat flux and mass of the coil. Higher coil masses require more power to heat up. Higher surface area can provide more vapor. Higher 'heat flux' (Steam Engine) IMHO can provide a more effective vape.

    I think ALL MODS have limits to both the current and voltage output. To high of a resistance and you'll be pushing against the voltage output limits of the MOD. To low of a resistance and you'll be pushing against the current limits of the MOD.

    Hence, most mods have a resistance "sweet spot" or range where full output power can be realized.

    Personally, I exclusively use TC mode on all the mods I have which support it (10 out of 13) and proudly "toodle puff" away at <=20W on single coil builds and <=40W on dual coil builds.

    It would be my opinion that unless your "cloud chasing" with %100VG 0MG juice there is really no need for using >50W much less 200W.

    (the 26650 mods and dual 18650 mods pictured are purely for battery life as the extra power the mods can output is never used)
