Yes, Joking. Found it funny that the OP is Super High ohming and I'm one of the odd lot still on 3ohm's yet, lol.
May have been a bit of an overstatement. You just don't hear much about 3+ ohm coils anymore. I've got to crank it at over 6 volts to get a solid vape out of her.

So you think vaping at 1.5ohms is SUPER high ohm????????????????

Guess you just started vaping, like 3 months ago or less. 1 year ago it was CRAZY to vape at less than .5ohm. Now a 1.5ohm dual coil is super high and people are vaping at >.05ohm. I blame Facebook and Xbox, that's the only explanation. People are soooooooo Shallow with the attention span of a fly these days.

I consider it to be very high ohm. Two 3.15 ohm coils. Takes a lot of voltage to get it moving compared to the sub ohms I was vaping.

Just so you know, to anyone who has been vaping for longer than two years the thread title looks like a joke.

A 2 ohm dual coil is a standard resistance coil to a lot of people. High resistance would be above 3 ohms and low resistance is below 1.8 ohms.

I'd consider 10 ohms to be super high.

2 ohm and 3 ohm I consider normal.
1 ohm is a boundary.
5 ohm is a boundary; when i started vaping there were mods that took coils from 1.5 to 5 ohms, example this vamo:
$22.49 Vamo V3 Variable Voltage/Wattage Mod / APV - stainless steel / with extension part at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
so 5 ohms i'd consider high but not super high.

suffice it to say these days
subohm = less than 1 ohm
superohm = more than 1 ohm

    That's partially due to your less than efficient use of air flow & chamber size. A 510 atomizer bore is about 8.5mm with a restrictive air flow which makes them very efficient at about ~8 watts. (3 ohms @ 5v which is only 1.6a)

    That is true but times change. We either go with it or remain in the past. I typical vape at a standard ohm 1.8 which is high for recent vapers. I have some 2.5 coils that I can use if I want, but I prefer 1.8.

    Someone who makes a 100k looks like a lot to someone who makes 10k which may seem poor to someone who earns 1 mill. Perspective.

    I just wanted to let the OP know that some might think this is a joke thread.
