So I've read a lot about how dangerous sub ohm vaping is, how the battery can explode, etc. But my question is, that if I use an istick 50 watt to sub ohm aren't a lot of the dangers taken out of the equation? I don't go crazy low, usually right around the .5 ohm. My understanding is that unregulated mods are more dangerous, and the istick is regulated.

I sub ohm as low as 0.2 on an MVP 3.0 pro with no issues whatsoever. Except of course using a bunch of juice.
Yes, most of the dangers associated with sub-ohm vaping are in regards to mechanical or unregulated devices. A regulated device such as the iStick should have protections in place that will prevent it from firing to keep you safe if something is amiss.
Thanks for all the responses. I thought it was safe, but I just wanted to make sure. And like said above, it uses WAY more juice, but its totally worth it.
I get what your saying, but the 50 watt istick doesn't have removable batteries, so hopefully the manufacturer is using good battery's.

I use an iStick 50 w with a Subtank at .5 every day with no worries.
I use a mechanical all day, every day with builds as low as .01 but I stay around .03 myself and feel perfectly safe.
Probably because I build my own coils and have a preference to what resistance on what atomizer.
I also keep my batteries properly rotated and married. (The mod I use is dual 18650 batteries) It's important to keep married pairs together and rotated.

Hi @tron cat
everything can be dangerous if mid-used or used without the right knowledge.
With that being if you wants to sub-ohms with a regulated device you kind of protected by the technology on the mod.. but again, be mindful of battery Amps limitation and treat properly the device. For Mech Mods you got to learn a bit more but if used properly they are safe.
Don't be thrown off by comments on the web, learn your craft in places like this forum and in no time you will be an happy, knowledgeable sub-ohms vaper! Vape On!

You are correct that sub-ohming is more dangerous on mech mods. The reason is because batteries have an amp limit, a number written on the battery that can range anywhere between 20A to 35A. The danger is when you go above this amp limit.
Just use ohm's law to see if you are within a safe amperage.

Istick 50.... isnt that the one with the sticky button and is capable of flaming out???
They say that. But I've had mine since February and haven't had a single problem with it.
