I've read a bit about these devices here on ECF, let's see if I got this right...

They produce bigger vapor clouds at the expense of more juice used.. Correct? Are there any clearos out of the box that come ready to go with a sub ohm coil in them?

Nope. Anything below one ohm is firmly in the realm of rebuilding. If you want to rebuild, lean about mechs, battery safety, and coil builds. Start high, and work your way down.

In case you missed that:

Lowest stock coils in most clearo's is 1.5 ohms I think (somewhere around there), strictly for the fact that regulated mods have a safety feature that doesn't allow them to fire coils under 1 ohm and sometimes higher.

Sub-ohm can only be done with rebuildable atomizers and a mechanical mod. I wouldn't reccommend it for someone that hasn't owned either before or is just getting into them.

I gotta tell ya....you have NOT read enough yet and that is living quite dangerously ... no joking, if you want to keep your hands and face ... do a lot more reading ... like A LOT! more.
We do not want to see you in the head lines

E-Cig Battery exploded in Cloud Chaser face!!!

I saw this shared post on FB where some guy used the wrong charger ... HA! found it
Man experiences 'explosive' consequence from using e-cigarette | Local - Home

it's a story from local news station ... doesn't have nothing to do with sub-ohm, but rather 'not' following manufacturers instructions ...
Please don't go out and make 'headlines'

thank you

There really is too much involved to give you the low down in one post Vappers. Here's a great place to start reading: **Sub-Ohm Vaping** Discussion, Safety, Battery Info, & Warnings

The first four posts probably cover about 95% of the safety stuff. Then read about RBA and RDAs.

Vape safe :thumb:

Lots of negativity - (

The warnings are completely justified for the danger involved but only one poster gave up where to find some good info and encouragement.

Its like a secret community and many dont want you there. Lol

I would help more if i knew

But even though they are short n meanies :) on this page it really is dangerous and more info should be read where the one poster sent you.

Low one to mid one ohm vapes are great for me. No need to push the envelope but i do appreciate all the bold and smart pioneers exploring and pushing and experimenting !

However, outside of these select few pioneers who did it on there own most just used their information to do it themselves. I agree it cant be done in one poat but at least show thr man/woman where to go like the one poster did ...

its human nature to show negativity towards something that could very well end up with negative results.
for example: you tell the kid that the cookie sheet which was just pulled out of the oven is hot... the kid goes to the place the cookie sheet is cooling and out goes the hand.. your reaction is NO NO HOT dont touch ... too late burned fingers... yea.. you could have given the kid pot holders and taught the kid how to use them and hoped the kid would use them properly... but not likely

It's also pretty scary when this kind of information is posted in the NEW member's forum. Sub-Ohming is by far an advanced technique. I've shorted out a battery (faulty device got so hot I couln't open it up to get the battery out) and it's no walk in the park. Sub-Ohm coils bring you so close to a short that one tiny mistake and BOOM...

I agree with statements posted here. In addition. If you could, or do find a clearo that is sub ohm, it probably won't be able to wick fast enough to keep up with demand. Which I doubt you can find one anyway.

Anything below .5 ohms is getting into the realm of just showing off. There are ways to build coils and wicks that will be no different @ .6 or .7 ohm than @ .3 ohms. And your battery and wicks will last longer as well.

Most any battery will handle a 10 amp draw, so you can get down to 0.5 ohms safely, but you will have to rebuild, and that takes some serious study of how to build coils and proper testing of said coils when you do build, as well as the proper test equipment.

That being said, there is a plethora of instructional video's on youtube, and ecigarette review sites that can help you along the way. From the type of atty to use, to the type of coils and wicks to build with them. You can, in fact, rebuild coils in clearos and other "quick change coil" type atty's, but they will not run on most variable voltage, or devices with short circuit protection.

Didn't see any meanness in any of the posts. Sub ohm vaping is for advanced users, re-building standard ohm coils is also for advanced users, but when learned to build using a regulated device it is much safer. The main danger is ignorance, and not knowing what they are doing. Sure one could be told to use the xyz batteries and the Nemi this or chi yu that, and ribbon wire wrapped around that and ladde da, tipper tyler too, but one has to be accountable for their own vape. I know it's in the forum somewhere, because that's where I found it without having to ask anyone. I could run a search and post a link, but so could you and the op.

I could also give the key to my motorcycle to my 6 year old nephew, but I think he should learn to ride a bike first before he tries 119 ft. lbs of torque.
