Hello everybody, I remember reading about this a long time ago and now I cant find the thread.
Last week, one of my coworkers came up to me and showed me his new rig. He's been vaping for a month, maybe two. Mostly using cartotanks and some ego style stuff. Last week he shows me a RDA on a K100 running Dual coils. I didn't think much of it until later that day when I asked him some normal micro coil stuff(like diameter and ohms) Come to find out the store where he bought it built the rig for him. He had no Idea what his ohms were, what his batteries rating are or even how to build it. I was curious so I asked him If i could test it on my ohm reader and it came out at 0.5-0.45 ohms 8-o with what looked like 26 gauge. He was using a 18350... at least it was a AW though. I told him it was pretty dangerous to be using those batteries and why. I tried my best to lecture without lecturing (if that makes sense to anyone). He did seem genuinely concerned and almost upset that they sold it to him without any info or anything. I ended up giving him a 18650 sony just so he could keep on vaping his new stuff and not have to worry. Later in the week we spent a lunch rebuilding coils and today he actually returned my battery after he got himself a few of his own
. This is the 5th time I have encountered this in the last three months or so. Everyone but him pretty much blew it off saying "the store set it up so it should be fine."... The typical way I go about it is "oh that's a pretty cool rig, what ohms are you running in that?" The typical response: "Ohms? I don't know the store set it up."
Is this Starting to become common? It really makes me a little nervous if random e-cig stores are just handing out what I would call advanced setups to anyone that says "Oh, I like that one." without any education or even proper supplies.
