What SUBOHM Mod Should I get?

[dcfluegel]

maybe we need to do a flashcard type exercise for Axiom - start posting pics of new shiny things for 'em and see what response is... heh.

*denial*

Okay, I will compromise...I will remove the quote marks from "maybe" but keep the word

So, I cranked her up to 100 watts and got a lungful of scald-my-lips, blow-me-up-like-a-balloon vapor

Lol! I had my CLT with a pair of huge claptons on my ipv4 cranked up to 100W. Switched it out for my KFL, single 28G KA1 coil at around 1.4ohms and pulled the trigger. Kinda like sucking on the tailpipe of a top fuel dragster. Unless you have a crazy build with a ton of metal in it you don't need a lot of watts. I had to learn that switching from mechs too.

And there it is...

You can't have too many mods, unless there's no room left in the bed for you to sleep. And even then, what you really need is a bigger bed...

lol ... Okay, you guys win...I concede... I am in denial at most things in my life so I suppose I am in regards to this as well

 

[dcfluegel]

you CAN, however, have more mods than your lady wife is aware of... hypothetically speaking... according to my friend...

I don't know but I don't want to find out either

Yeah right, you sound as if you're speaking from experience.

I bought a Snow Wolf because I am a mekkie at heart and I never had a high powered regulated box, and because I knew I'd want to try TC some day. Buying the SW got me both in one box and price tag, and the reviews here on the board on the TC function were glowing. So the great day came, and Vape Mail dropped it on me. I slammed it full of VTC4s, bolted a Lemo 2 coiled .5 Kanthal on top, ran the watts to 35, just where my mechs would hit it, and had a vape. It was smooth and wonderful. So, I cranked her up to 100 watts and got a lungful of scald-my-lips, blow-me-up-like-a-balloon vapor. Three hits of that were enough to convince me high power is not where my vape lies. I ran it back down and haven't been over 40 watts since, although I'll probably run it up to 70 (the max) in TC mode if I ever get around to Claptoning some Ni wire. Not long ago I bought an SX Mini S to get TC into the car with me-- I think the SW is a bit too large for that duty, I only vape it here at my desk-- and haven't even considered buying the extension tube so I can run the watts out to 120. A single battery does me just fine, thank you. I'm glad I tried. I wouldn't have missed the experience. I love my SW, it's a great machine. It's super to know I have all that horsepower under the hood if I ever feel like tromping on the gas pedal. But that's not me.

lol that's funny...........Yeah too much power is not needed for sure.

Such a hard question. I personally love the Snow Wolf. I'll be uploading a review on it soon. But at the moment there are tons and tons up right now. It's a sexy looking box and functions great!

 

[DagMatt]

love my subox, but not the best box for use with a dripper - with the fixed 510 pin connection, can be a little finicky about other attys (it really likes its subtank, but sometimes not so much with other toppers) - kanger is supposed to be releasing a v2 with a spring loaded pin

I'm waiting for the elusive spring loaded v2 before I take the plunge, but it's been torture waiting since so many people love it.

i can neither confirm nor deny that at this time

I always just say "what? This? Honey, I've had this thing forever. You just never noticed it before". It kind of works. At least reasonable doubt.

Yeah, I rarely go above 35w on a .4 ohm build..... Lots of power really isn't needed for a good strong vape (good clouds/flavor).

They're dual FUSED claptons, meaning 2 strands of 26g N80 wrapped up in 36g N80. Not standard claptons. The 2 26g wires wrapped in parallel require more power. They also halve the ohms of a standard 26g N80 Clapton. Hence is why I have 8 wraps on each. Each coil comes out to a .36-.4 ohm coil and to get rid of ramp time they need higher wattages. More surface area and more wire to heat simply requires more power. You can have .2 ohm dual coils that run perfectly at 45w, but when you have more wire to heat up, getting the same vape you would at 45w, you will need more power.

But I don't wind claptons... 35W is plenty for the single stranded coils that I make.... Yes, I have a bit of ramp up time compared to when I run higher wattage's but I just hold the fire button down for a second or two until the coil starts producing vapor and then I start hitting it. I do however crank up the power when ever I really want to do some room fogging.
