Seeing More Newbies going sub-ohm... Scary stuff.

[wheelie]

I don't care if someone sub ohms or not. But seeing who can blow the biggest cloud IS a juvenile activity. If a 50 year old likes to do it that doesn't change the fact that it's a juvenile activity.

I now want to sub ohms. You talked me into chasing clouds now. I want to be back to 50 years old so I can participate in juvenile activities again.

It's all about the clouds. Don't understand it myself. An adolescent thing I guess.

Oh come on man. Really? I'm an educated 40 year old business owner and I absolutely love a sub ohm vape. I didn't pay a shop to build my coils or set it up for me. I read everything I could find about ohms law and battery safety before I took the plunge. I absolutely agree with people who say you shouldn't be paying anyone to build anything for you. If you can't maintain/fix/set up your gear it's probably best to stick to the basics and the basics are fine for a majority of people.

I'm no cloud chaser but I do prefer the warmer vape I get from a mechanical @.9/.8 in comparison to building a coil on my Provari which will be around 1.4 In fact I seldom use my Provari as it doesn't provide the kind of vape I've grown to love.

To each his own.

But what about your dogs? Who will feed them when your hands are gone from partaking in this juvenile delinquency?
I beg you, think of the puppies!

What's a Provari?
Is that the regulated dinosaur that won't fire a sub-ohm coil? Are they worth it? Why are they so popular? Why does everyone recommend a Provari when someone asks about upgrading from an eGo? I have $50 to spend..... Should I get a Provari?
(I think I got most of the hot buttons in there)

Easy now. I'm just here for the fun.

A mechanical, and a ProVari,
Live together in perfect harmony,
Side by side on a black board,
Oh Lord, why...don't...we?

I seriously hope any Provari owners didn't take my post with more than a grain of salt.

Yes you are right. Better stick with my old man activities and use protected mods.

There ya go, fella. Let's get you all comfortable with a niiiiice high-res atty.

I don't speak for them all, but I was just trying to work some humor and some Stevie Wonder into this thread. I think it needed both in equal measure.

I was in no way offended, sir, if that helps.

Sub ohm vaping is SICK AS TITTS!

 

[wheelie]

Much better. If I hear a boom my beagle better have a rabbit in his mouth.

Only with 100 watts and 300 edit cuts!

Yeah. Why can't we watch the unedited 30+ minute review.

Yeah.......

I agree with your main statement. However that one line you have by itself in the middle really does read like you're talking about sub ohm vaping specifically. I can see why B1sh0p drew that conclusion.

Yes, I can see how it might be taken that way.

 

[edyle]

Ah, the sub-ohm debate rears its ugly head again.

Thank goodness this one is in the general thread and not taking over some new members thread

 

[Doghead]

Hmm, here's a good reason to order from fast tech: do it like I did- order your mechs and RBAs and you've got 2, 2 1/5 months to do your homework!
(I'll admit, the Chinese New Year was a factor- not FT bashing)

It's too bad people pushing regulated mods have made you fear sub ohming. Sub ohm vaping is safer than things you do everyday, like driving a car, taking a shower or eating a steak.

subohming is only safer than the taking a shower and eating a steak if you know Ohms law well enuf to do it safely....
Licensed Drivers had to take a test to prove their ability to drive a car on public roads....
there is no "test" to fail for subohming unless you want to consider trashing the battery, causing mayhem, and personal injury the "fail" part of the test....

The issue I have with all of this sub-ohm stuff with brand new vapers is the majority of the time the vendors selling and setting up the gear are not educating the customer, and the customer is not educating themselves on safety.

You can not use "just any battery" with a sub-ohm RBA on a mechanical and expect to be anywhere near safe. We've already seen this described in this thread where the customer was using an 18350 battery and it vented in thermal runaway. Both the vendor and customer are responsible to insure the right battery is used for that type of setup. It's not getting done in all cases and this is where my issue is.

This doesn't just affect the business or the customer, it affects all of us. We don't need the 11:00 news broadcasting about the e-cig that exploded and took off someone's fingers or face. It's only happened once so far, and that story gets repeated ad nauseum. Another one could finish us for good.

Those of us on this forum should take the responsibility to educate the novices. Give them a warning about safety issues, and point them in the right direction to educate themselves. This benefits the entire vaping community.

sorta off topic but the theory is the same ... I reload and shoot revolvers, and when I was at the range a newbie shooter next to me brought out his revolver and started bragging how his would do this that and the other ( he had a SW 38 ) while all along he was belittleing mine ( SW 44mag). He then proceeded to load his up and wrap his hand around the gun with his left hand firmly holding the cylinder. Luckily I caught him before he could pull the trigger. He looked at me with disgust and almost became indignant when I told him he shouldnt hold his gun in that manner. So I grabbed one of his unused targets asked to see his gun... I placed the target along side of the cylinder pulled the trigger and promptly blew a 3" long hole in the target from the tiny little gap between the cylinder and barrel.... then I told him that would have been your hand if I didnt stop you.... he said thank you and then spent the next 90 minutes learning gun safety....

Not really the same at all.
The gun worked properly, and was safe to use as it was sold to the customer. His technique was bad.

No vape shops should be building sub-ohm coils for someone using a 18350.
That is more like selling a new shooter a gun with a jammed barrel, loading it up for them and sending them to the range to try it out. It doesn't matter the user's technique, the gun is unsafe to shoot.
Just like the sub-ohm setup using an 18350.

Yes, the user needs to do research on their own, but what they are sold should be safe to use the way it was sold to them.
