resistance aim

[yrdeiyrdd]

what is better for vaping high resistance or low?

 

[bacc.vap]

It depends, what kind of vape do you want? What device/battery are you using?

 

[yrdeiyrdd]

if im a cloud chaser should i vape on high power ? low resistance ? what high resistance gives ?

 

[bacc.vap]

I'm not a cloud chaser myself, but they usually use very low resistance. You're definitely going to want to be familiar with ohms law and battery safety before attempting such builds. What equipment are you planning on using?

 

[yrdeiyrdd]

ill use ohm reader and the ohm calculator and ill build the coils my self with some tutorial from youtube
about the battery i dont know which type will be goot for me and for the resistance value

Hopefully someone with more knowledge in cloud chasing can step in and give you some more detailed help, but here is a battery chart to help choose what batteries may be good for the amp draw your going to need. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B423OSOvUSNvZmdxNE9FdjBla3c/edit?usp=sharing

jhow much amps power will be good for me ?

That really depends on your volts and ohms, but to play it safe I'd just get some good 30 amp batteries like these. SONY VTC5 18650 2600mAh Battery - Flat Top - 30A

you can achieve great flavor and massive clouds without having to go super sub-ohm. If you're just getting into the sub-ohm scene, I would shoot for 28 gauge micro coils wrapped around a 5/64 bit. Would give you anywhere from 0.7 - 1.4 ohms, depending on how many times you wrap; perfect resistance for breaking the sub-ohm barrier.

I'm a cloud chaser, also known as sub ohming because of the very low ohm we use. My RDA right now has a quad super nano micro coil wrapped with 30g kanthal at .38 ohms. If you are going to try sub ohming, make sure that you read, read, read. It can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing (burns, battery venting/blow outs, etc.). You have to use the right kind of battery in your mechanical mod (most PVs don't allow you to get lower than 1.4 ohm as they have a chip that they have installed for safety unless you go for the vaporshark which supports down to .5ohm). I use a HIGH DRAIN IMR 18650 battery with an output of 60amps, which supports ohms up to .1ohm although it is highly recommended that you don't go any lower than .2 ohm. With that being said, if you want more clouds, you want lower resistance.

what about a charger ? do i need 1 or 2 batteries?? i use panzer mech MOD Clone

Wow! smh

Another new user looking to cloud chase/sub-ohm without a lick of knowledge on the safety aspects?

You need to understand the dangers of batteries and battery safety before making any type of purchase. I suggest you read and understand the following blog entries by Baditude before proceeding...

Im not an actual "cloud chaser" but I build 1.0 ohm micro coils on my kayfun lite+ clone and using mostly VG liquid it really produces nice vapor.

I'm not a cloud chaser, but I play one on TV

Seriously, if you are going to get into that you need to do a good deal of homework for your own sake. It's clear from your posts you have not done that. Generally cloud chasers go with mechs and drippers building them seriously sub-ohm, and that's a game you don't want to get into without knowing what you are doing. Bad things can happen.

YouTube is your friend, and check with Badittude on battery safety matters. You came to the right place to ask questions, but please educate yourself before going down that road.

depends on everything, your mod, batts, juice, wire, wick, atomizer, air supply.....

So the best I can say, with the limited content is, you are correct high and low is the answer.

So the really low ohms are a product of having multiple coils. More coils means more surface area creating vapor. Using 5 finger math 1, 1.4 oHm coil equals total resistance. 2, 1.4 ohm coils equals total .7 oHm but doubles the output of vapor. 4, 1.4 ohm coils equals a total of .35 total resistance but doubles the output of vapor from the dual coil setup.

Airflow. There is a density point at which the vapor is not enjoyable and becomes too thick. The air mixture is really important when you get that many coils you will need more air.

I forget who it was but someone early in my questions and learning phase said "stop thinking in terms of volts and ohms start think thermodynamics."

More coils more vapor. More coils lower resistance. Lower resistance higher amp draw. So battery wise the sony vtc5 or the efest 30amp continuos 60amp peak are great for being safe.

Personally I wrap 28gauge @ 1.4ohms in a macro coils style with a 5mm inside diameter. To some people this is a huge coil and resistance. However, this coil has the same surface area as 4 micro coils. So it produces the same amount of vapor. Anyway I'm getting beyond where the OP is at.

Thick wire.

It's the thicker wire that you want.

thanks a lot all of you i read all the intarnet about sub ohm building i feel like im ready for purchase
so, i added to cart omega RDA , panzer mech Mod , sony vtc5 IMR18650 2600mAh ,XTAR battery charger match for 18650, atomizer OHM reader, 28 guage kanthal A1 wire and organic cotton and Dekang E-Liquid Melon Flavor 0mg Nicotine
did i done well ?
