What is the point of subohming if you're not using a mech?

There really is no reason to. There are some subtleties with heavy gauge Sub ohm. But I can push similar clouds as many subohms with parallel 32g at 1.3.

What's baffling is 1.8ohm of 24g. That wire is massive you need a lot of power to heat it quickly. 80-100w I guess would do it.

Its a combination of the mass of wire and power it takes to heat it to temp efficiently. With the thick wire and all those wraps its a lot of metal to heat up.

Currently I use 1.3 ohm of 28g single coil at 30w and I can blow a respectable cloud with only a 2 second vape.

40-45 watts, 3 second hits with my istick50 it heats up relatively quickly honestly.

Well thats cool, seems like it would be a ton of wraps to heat up, 22 or so...

Well added to my last post before is saw you posted.. I guess usually to go 1.8 one would use 28. But if its a vape you like its all good.. You don't need sub ohm as you know, there's other ways to get a similar vape. It all depends on how you like it and how hot you like the vape.

Many of the mech mod vapers at the B&M's are not experienced/educated with using high vv/vw mods.

The beauty of a high vv/vw mod is that you don't have to build low sub-ohm coils to get a great vape. In fact, building low sub-ohm works against you. Higher ohm coils use more wire which means more surface area to vaporize juice. This increases both heat and vapor production.

With a mechanical mod you increase the warmth of your coil by building lower ohm coils. However, the electronics in a regulated mod boosts the power coming from the battery so the ohms of the coil no longer control the warmth.

Here's a good thread on the subject: My thoughts about sub-ohm and latest VV/VW devices...

I can't hit it honestly longer than 4-5seconds it gets too hot. Also the ID is 5mm so a few wraps less.

5mm, dang pretty big, I was guessing at least 3mm.

Right now I'm using a Subtank and have the RBA built at .8 ohms. I've run it through my mech mod and my eVic Supreme and from the eVic, I am getting a more consistent cloud than with the mech.

What are the drawbacks to using a vv/vw device with sub ohm builds?
