The puff counter doesn't record the amount of time you are holding the fire button. So consider one second versus a 9 second pull.
Totally agree. Puff counter is useless for me personally. Sometimes I accidentally release the button and fire it right back - 2 puffs? No, I am still working on my first. When I build at lower ohms and larger builds, coil master can't fire, so I have to use my device, which continues to roll the counter.

Temperature, watts, longevity of a pull - all has to go into consideration, but definitely not puff counter.

    Out of resistance, wattage and surface area only the latter one really has an effect on the amount of juice consumed.
    • a 'sub ohm' coil can be made with very thin (small diameter) wire or with very few windings which vaporizes very little juice
    • a large diameter coil could be wound with very small diameter wire which requires very large wattage to heat up but puts out very little vapor
    • a large mass coil which requires enormous power to heat up could be threaded with very little wick providing very little contact area and vaporize very little juice
    While the above examples are generally exceptions lower ohms or higher watts does not automatically equate to higher juice consumption.

    Coil<>wick contact surface area is key - not power or resistance.

    There are people at ECF Rip through 30 mls a day. I Rip through 3.5 mlz.

    If it is a satisfying vape that keeps yoy off the stinkies its all good
    3.5 ml a day ain't rippin' its tootling :D Its ok I do 2-3ml a day 18 to 36 mg I call it cowboy vapin'. :tumble: Ok ok so I'm a tootle puffer it's still good :thumb:

    6 milligrams of nic? How many cigs did you smoke before vaping?
    Earlier smoking habits don't really correspond to the nic amount and liquid consumed. It's not necessarily the nicotine that was the addictive part for some individuals, and the nic from vaping is absorbed differently. For my own part I could pretty much go to 0 nic, but I like some throat hit (and I'd anyway include some nic due to the potential health effects).

    Sub ohm vaping will always result in going through more liquid in a faster time period.

    Probably one of the reasons I never even tried sub ohms. I'm cheap. LOL

    My only goal was to quit smoking. I'm pretty settled and still not smoking after 4+ years. My average per day: 5-7ml, 2.1 ohm, 3.3v. Typical tootlepuffer here. :p
    I'd like to point out that the key variable is power. Subohm vaping won't consume any more liquid if the watts are kept low (though low resistance coils often require more power to work well).

    A large mass coil with low juice flow would give horrible burnt hits if fired at high wattages. Coil mass and power go hand in hand.

    But does anyone subohm 0.5 ohms at 8-9W?? :?:

    Your mixing Apples and Oranges.

    Large surface area (coil/wick contact area) does not automatically equate to mass and hence does not relate to power.

    I'd agree that larger mass requires more power to heat up in a reasonable amount of time. While my 3rd example would likely produce more burnt cotton than vapor it makes the point that mass and power alone does not equate to vapor production.

    Well, you could wrap a .5 ohm coil with 30ga ss316l (1.5mm id, 4/5 wraps) that would be too hot at 9w and quite hot at 8w. Not saying that many would, but it highlights the fact that power and surface area is what we should be focusing on, not resistance. It annoys me when people talk about subohming without mentioning the other (more relevant) variables, and it may confuse new vapers by not giving them the relevant information.
