so is "high wattage".... because a mechanical user can't use an 8ohm coil at 18 volts.

High wattage is definitive of the power to the coil. That example is meaningless.

Mech is meaningless in this discussion. Subohm coils are not restricted to mech.

sub-ohm vaping - vaping on an atty that has a resistance of less than 1 ohm.
it is not mislabelled or up for interpretation....

Nope, not mislabeled. Just not that useful of a description, since it describes resistance and only resistance.

resistance is a variable in wattage, they are not one and the same.

Right and therefore it is only a piece of the total picture. Which is why it's not that useful of a description.

Which has no relevance to the resistance of a coil. This is not that hard of a concept...

nope.

just as "High wattage", doesn't tell you if a coil is "sub ohm" or not... which is all I care about... I have no interest in vaping a "super-ohm" coil... they don't work on my devices.

Not everyone uses your device. Your thinking is just extremely narrow and one-directional. If all you care about is yourself and your things, there's no point in communicating with others.

High wattage is device-agnostic. The reason a certain coil doesn't work well on your device is ... wattage.

I vaped 8.4 volts with a 5 ohm coil a couple of years ago. Nothing compared to SUB OHM vaping. High voltage vaping sucks! It is old news.

People didn't understand atomizer building a few years ago the way we do now. Rebuildables and especially RDAs changed everything.

Regardless, 8.4v on 5 ohms is only about 14w. That's not in subohm power territory, so, duh.

I think we need either a pic or video demo of how this works.. anybody?!

I'm still confused on how 15W is not 15W when vaped in different coil configs.

As a perfect example of how 15w isn't just 15w, slap a CE2 on a regulated mod and vape it at 15w, then try a rebuildable dripper on a mech at 15w.

It'll be pretty different how there are FAR many more variables involved than just "15w".

I though "sub ohm" wasn't descriptive enough?

Now it's too narrow a definition?

You really need to make up your mind.

here... can we agree to this?

  • A "Sub Ohm" coil is < 1.0 ohm
  • It is used to create "high wattage" vaping at lower voltages.
  • The are other ways to create "High wattge" vaping at higher voltages.


If any of that is incorrect... please correct me.

If the first one IS correct... this thread is useless.

Uh "narrow" means that.

True, but pointless. Again, just one-directional (and one-dimensional) thinking. Subohm coils can be run at a variety of wattages. My subohm coils fire just fine at 10w.

If the first one IS correct... this thread is useless.

Why? There is no guarantee that subohm equals high wattage. That's the point.

The thread is useless. All it says is vape at lower amps.

Now that's just made up.

Actually it means the exact opposite.

A "Broad definition" lacks specific details and focus

and "Narrow definition" is very specific.

and there is no guarantee "high wattage" equals "Sub ohm"...

Making "Sub Ohm" it's own unique and specific subset of High Wattage vaping... Thus requiring it's own name.

narrow - definition of narrow by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Definitions 2 and 3.

A non-substantive point, as the wattage is the functional value.

It's not a subset of high wattage vaping at all. It is an intersecting set.

It IS a type of High Wattage vaping

Not necessarily, and that's the point of this thread.
