The epic cloud.

[Steam Turbine]

Alright. This is for the cloud chasers out there.

I was wondering how big of a cloud you need to be happy and satisfied.

I'm vaping a single 0.9 ohm coil on a genny right now with a AW 18490. This gives me 18 watt of power and a 4.4 amp draw (a few amp below the amp limit of this particular battery) This thing blows out serious clouds! This fills up a bathroom with vapor on a single draw.

What's up with the 0.2 ohm quad coil that is way past the amp limit of pretty much every batterie that are out there? What do you need? Fill up a stadium?

Sub ohms are bad mmmmkay.

I like to see others blowing big clouds, it looks unreal/surreal

and spooky

People who build nuclear coils to chase clouds are just lost souls who need to worry less about their resistance and more about the qualitly of their builds and their airflow. I challenge anyone to blow a bigger cloud with a sub ohm coil (even dual) than I can with a 1.5 ohm single coil.

There's more to it than simple vapor production. Tons of cool vapor with muted flavor is different than tons of warm vapor with punchy flavor. It just depends on what type of vape you prefer. I prefer a vape with huge amounts of warm vapor, and subohm builds work best in my opinion for that. Microcoils also work, but are restricted in wicks you can use.

And I think most people into sub-ohm vaping put a lot of effort into the quality of their builds and also focus on airflow. I don't mean this in a rude way at all, but you aren't the first, or only guy to have good airflow on his device. Most sub-ohm people have good airflow AND sub-ohm coils.

I like it a little thicker than analogs are. Its just something for me to relax and do instead of kill myself slowly smoking. The big clouds are cool but its novelty imo, not something id want to walk around doing. Id feel pretty silly honestly

There it is.
You started this one kind of late today.

Not particular about the cloud as long as it Taste good and isn't raining.

Don't really care about the cloud, just the quality of the vape. Plus, when I'm vaping in my office (which is where I am 75% of the time), I always have to wave the vapor out of the air when the door opens...could be the boss! So, no mushroom clouds necessary here.

I hear you Crxess, I stopped cloud chasing about a year after I graduated with a degree in meteorology and, still didn't have a job, unless I wanted to be a radio weatherman for little more than minimum wage.

I'll take flavor over cloud any day and, with most of my flavors, that's a lot of PG, not much VG, if any. (Oh forbid the nut here vapes 100% PG )

I know a lot of sub-ohmers are great builders.... but a very large group of them are also terrible builders who wrap a hideous 2/3 wrap around some wadded up silica and then vape it because they think that is going to make more vapor. We have all seen dual coil builds with 4 hot legs, one coil way too tight and one coil not hardly even touching the wick....

It looks like you're throwing up cotton candy in space!!

I vape at .5 ohms on a quad all day long, not so much the huge clouds but moreso for flavor. Doesn't hurt I can take a big of a hit when I want too, but most times it's just a quick pop and you couldn't tell it was quads unless I wanted to show you.

 

[Zipslack]

Personally, I don't get it. I like to have a nice, flavorful plume, but not obnoxious. Frankly, the cloud I get from my Evod and Ego with 50/50 equals or exceeds what I used to get from analogs.

 

[tA71ana]

I would love to get clouds like that, lol
I get pretty good ones with higher VG... I don't do sub-ohms, though.
My vape is between 1.7 and 2.5 ohms.. I like the vapor so much I don't fully inhale (like I did when I smoked), that way I get more cloudz

 

[minimalsaint]

I hate to think what the battery life is like on a quad coil @ .5 ohm. And how much more flavor can that thing actually give?
Besides- Cloud chasing is soooooo 3 weeks ago. The new thing is "no vapor vaping" where you just sit and stare at your device. I get nearly 150 hours before my voltage drops to 4.0..... In..... Credible.

For Eric:
Double your pleasure, double your fun.

Like BigBaby said though- even a 1.7 can rip clouds with the proper air flow. It's not all about lower resistance and I couldn't agree more with his post. I get the same results on a 1.6 even when my battery is running low on the mech. It's just silliness to think that you need crazy low ohms to achieve this result. All aside from the fact that I use less liquid and my battery life (and safety) is triple that of a sub-ohm user.

I laughed so hard at this my Cat looked at me like I was about to throw up a hairball
