lemmings jump off a cliff because other lemmings are jumping off that cliff
Once again, I can't understand why people feel the need to insult fellow vapers for their preferred vape.
If I went around making fun of people using egos and clearos, I'd be thought of as a jerk. But it's OK to go around bashing people for liking a bit more power than any other devices can provide. How nice.
Lemmings are blind followers. Most of the anti-subohm posts I've seen have been from people that demonstrate their complete ignorance in the realm of sub-ohm. If you bash something you don't know anything about, you're a lemming. You have no basis for your opinion and are just following others. I've seen more anti-subohm lemmings than anything else.
Personally I am of the opinion that someone that knows what they are doing can, via parts selection and building, achieve similar results across devices with difference configurations, for a given wattage, at least as far as vapor volume. Responsiveness, etc. may vary.
It may be worth noting that at 15 watts your VV/VW device puts the same amp draw on the battery as that .9 coil, in fact slightly more because of converter inefficiency.
And also that is barely touching what subohm can do, low subohm setups can go 30-40 or more watts, which no regulated setup is yet designed to do.
Thanks for mentioning this. I find it funny that people with regulated devices don't understand that they are drawing high current from the battery in order to boost the voltage. VV and subohm are accomplishing the same thing, sucking more power from the battery.
And none of the cheap VW devices on the market will get to 15 watts without stacked batteries. Ooohhhh another scary scary thing, stacked batteries, oh noes!
It seems like the haters are more obsessed with subohm vaping than subohm vapers are.
I like a powerful vape. I like an open draw. I like a warm vape. I like instant heatup. Sub-ohm fits this very well. Microcoils are great, but really you need cotton, as silica that thin will dry out too fast. I use cotton now and again, but personally prefer working with mesh or silica. With mesh or silica subohm works excellent.
"normal" resistance is garbage on a mech, to me. To get a coil to run on most VV devices, you must make the resistance higher than 1.2-1.3 or so. I generally hit about 1.5 with my non-subohm builds meant for regulated devices. With a single battery, the vape is anemic. It takes a long time to heat up, and the vape is still rather cool. With stacked 18350s performance wakes up quite a bit. But then you have a huge device, and are still fairly limited in power levels.
To account for the slow warmup, you can use thinner wire, but then you reduce other aspects of performance. Everything in vaping is a give and take, and subohm vaping best suits all the variables in my vaping preferences. I guess I'm a lemming for educating myself, and choosing something that fits my needs the best. Must be backwards day or something.
