Sub-ohm vaping?

[humangraffiti]

Hey guys!

Im currently waiting for my stingray clone and kraken clone to come, its gonna be my secondary mod so i might as well try new things with it right?

I read somewhere about sub-ohm. Can someone please explain to me what that is? What kind of coil set up do i need? Gauge? And would a vtc5 be good enough for it? And im ordering an ohm meter today too

Thank you so much!

Although not the only thing to consider... having parity between battery amperage and resistance, goes a long way to insuring safety. Run the target resistance through a Ohms law calculator, with 4.2v as a constant (if using a unregulated mechanical mod)... and you'll have a resistance based, amperage maximum draw value.

Add about 15-20% to that as a margin of safety... and you have the battery maximum continuous drain requirement.

Example: 0.5Ω @ 4.2v requires a maximum of 8.4 amps. Figure about 11 amps with a safety margin. An AW IMR 18490, rated at 16.5 amps continuous drain, would be the shortest 18000 series battery you'd want to use... and the safety margin would be substantial.

You could use a shorter Efest "purple" 18350, rated at 10.5 amps... and your margin of safety goes down a bit. Margin of safety is a bit subjective... the more you know, the more it's a value you can adjust. ;-)

Just do a lot of reading, and hit up youtube and don't start out with crazy builds. I'm having so much fun with the hobby side of vaping (which I never got with smoking). I'm still learning a ton and I wasn't afraid to ask, because it scared the crap out of me. I've also learned there's more to a "good vape" than going low. A lot of the builds you see on youtube where they're hitting .1,.09,.06 ohm (which to me are INSANE !!!) are just to make that video so people like me can bug their eyes out and say "holy %$#@" at the cloud.

Thanks! Still kinda gard to follow but im starting to read more about safety now
