I do, I do, I due believe in sub ohm. Even on me regulated mods, to get the 100-150 watt max output, one must enter the sub ohm zone.

My average build target is 0.40 ohms. That way, no matter if I am using an regulated or mechanical mod, can still get a damn fine vape. Although it is nice if I miss me mark on an experimental build, can still push it at over 9 volts to make up for too many wraps, or something like that.

Vape is all about balance, amount of wire, ohms, juice, amps, watts, skills, gear and experience. The gear don't make the vaper, the vaper optimizes their gear, or something like that.

Lowest build currently, is 0.15 ohms, highest is 1.14 ohms, which I'm firing at 9.2 volts :D like said, average about 0.40, a lot depends on which mod and rba is being built for, and their optimal vape value. Can generally hit target ohm within 0.05 of optimum. So now I look at wave function and harmonic balances when building, looking at every aspect of me vape, from mixing of DIY juice, # of coils and wraps of each coil, pulse modulation, always looking to augment the design an physics of me gear.

Ok, ya caught me, am a Vape Compulsive Obsessive kind of personality. :D Always building within the lines a gear safety and tolerance, but still acquiring the random burn or melt down, or something like that.


Vape long and Prosper.!!!!

Yeah, you've exceeded your current wicking, and/or air capacity, and are out vaping what your build can supply. Need to look at your wick densities, both through the coil and in the wicking channels, if applicable. Also air flow needs to be looked at, if one can't move the volume of vape being atomized, then heat up will occur. Air flow, Vape flow can be increased by larger air intakes, and wide bore drip tips, or a combination of the two.

Sometimes one hits the maximum of vape potential of their current gear, without modification. To get more potential, one can increase air intake, open wick cannels, wide bore drip tips, etc.... But, unless one has optimized it's current configuration, getting the drill and lathe out, should be done after serious contemplation.

Without knowing the rba being employed, tis tough to conjecture further.

Vape long and Prosper.!!!

I'm definitely a sub-ohm kinda guy... out of 5 currently running mods, I'm looking at a max .4 ohm and a minimum .16 ohm builds... but you better have the right equipment and information/knowledge if you're gonna do that... read through the link in my signature and that'll give ya a good start.

    Probably... so if your in the new members forum and unable to post in sub ohming forum we shouldn't ask if anyone here is building hot coils??? Why waste energy with a reply? Obviously as you can see from my join date I'm new here. No need to be a smart ......

    His point is that some in this section are still trying to figure out which is the positive end of their battery. Threads about extreme vaping is not in their best interest. Lets don't be suggesting things here that might get someone hurt .... OK.

    There are a lot of intermediate to experienced vapers that join and are currently a new member. If they ask a question here, I personally feel obligated to answer. Whether it be some slapping around or some serious vape advice. It's not like new members can't look in the other sub forums, and find the same info.

    I usually do try to get a read on their level of vape experience, hence some slapping do I distribute, but hopefully in a non-offensive friendly way.

    Vape comes with inherent dangers and risk, regardless of what watt one is vaping at, or the ohm's of the coil. And feel all questions are worthy of an answer. of sorts, :D

    I sub on a daily. My copper Manhattan on a .15 ohm for the last 3 weeks or so on my atty. It's just my preference, if you're thinking about it, please please please can't stress enough to look at battery safety, amp limits, and know when too low is too low. If you do know your stuff, then cool. But to answer your question, yes.

    Hello my fellow vape heads I do have a question; I use APVs (smok BEC pro, evic supreme and provari P3) and I would like to try 25 watts and over vaping...... I need some very clear answers.... what ohms is good for 25 and over???? I used a 2.4 ohm coil in a protank 3 got good flavor and some really nice clouds..... I KNOW I will not be able to pull mech mod clouds.... I also know I can do better than what I am doing.... I have been told the higher the ohms the higher the wattage.... I've burnt out high ohm coils on a vivi nova and my nautilus.........I was trying to vape at 20 watts and 7 volts..... will someone please help me understand???? live healthy and vape long

    acidvap, allrighty then, in todays vape world, the ohms is almost secondary, and the focus should be on wicking skills and air supply.. Because the clue at vaping anything over 15 watts is wicking potential balanced with air.

    This involves a fundamental understanding of wicking potential. Most dry hits are a wicking issue. In other words, for ones build, if they are experiencing dry/burnt hits, they are out vaping the potential of their build and wicking capabilities. When vaping high watts, one atomizes vastly higher quotients of juice to vaper. Therefore one must be able to wick an adequate amount of juice to supply the intensity of vape being produced.

    Also, besides wicking, whenn atomizing significantly high volumes of juice to vapor, one must be able to move that vapor with enough volume of air.

    Vape is all about balance, gear, skills, juice and equipment. When everything is in alignment all vape is possible.




    Vape long and Prosper.!!!

    Dice hit it right on the head... it's all about the balance!
    Let's just say that you've got a Kayfun... 1.8 ohm coil... cotton wick (maybe a little too tight)... 20pg/80vg juice at about 15W... good chance you're going to get dry hits because your wick is choked and Kayfuns don't have a whole lot of airflow...
    Now, let's say you've got a Tobh... 0.22 ohm coils... wicked with rayon... full 100% vg... modified airholes, big bore drip tip... that's about 80W... and a very satisfying vape... if you've done everything right. If you've got all of your ducks in a row.

    That's not to say that you cannot get a great vape from a KF... 2.2 ohm coil, wick with rayon (or cotton, just don't overstuff)... maybe up your pg ratio a bit... play with the wattage until you get it just right, and vape till the tank is dry... it's all about your experience and your ability to see what went wrong with a build that you didn't like so that you can improve it on the next build...
