sub-ohm is it really relevant???

I was just including VV/VW in the same statement. I didn't mean they would be under the same FAQ. There are a few of sub-ohm'ing thread repeats here, but there are a ton of VV and VW threads starting. At least the sub-ohm questions are a little bit more ranging in complexity.

Although I've not tried, or even researched them much yet, I have a hunch micro coils will eventually become more mainstream than sub ohm, just because of the facts that they are theoretically safer, can be used on a safer regulated mod, and are less demanding on batteries.

It wasn't that long ago that the "advanced vapors" were stacking batteries in their mechanicals to acheive higher voltage, and for the most part that practice has gone by the wayside via regulated mods. I predict the same for sub ohm vaping.

PBusardo's rant will hopefully bring some cloud chasers back down to earth. Let's not lose track of why we took up vaping. We hopefully got into this as a safer alternative from smoking to get the nicotine that we are addicted to. The cloud chasing is just a showboat experience for some people who have a need for gratification from others, not necessarily from their vape.

couldn't agree more, bad-it's just damn dangerous. sure, if you do the math and have a decent head on your shoulders, you can avoid many of the dangers. but you know, people are impressionable, and monkey see, monkey do. i don't want to read any stories about somebody getting hurt while vaping, chasing that room filling cloud for no reason. we've got to be smart as a community, and take the "buck wild" element out of vaping.

You do that by using good batteries, not by crusading against subohm. Check out the exploding mods reports ... see any subohm setups?

I agree. There are a long line of more dangerous issues than subohm setups, bad batteries sitting at the top of the list. The huge clouds might actually persuade some people to try vaping, and thus quit smoking, but on the other hand, it might make the regulators even more itchy to bring our hobby under control. Don't know if it's a good thing; but seems the regulations are coming no matter what we do, so maybe we should just enjoy it as much as we can, while we can.
