why doesn't anyone make a vv/vw mod that wont cut of sub ohm

Safety. They could remove the 'cut off' altogether but may not have many long term customers.
Sweet avatar btw, really takes me back.

Sub ohm coils draw more amps than the electronics in most variable wattage and variable voltage mods can handle without damaging them. The more high end electronics can handle more amps, such as the new DNA30 can go down to .5 ohms I think.
Because anything below 1.0 ohm is recognized by the processor's safety circuitry as being a short. It's designed as a safety feature to protect the atomizer, the mod, and you. Most regulated mods have amp limits, also for safety purposes and limits to their power production.
ok makes sense guys, thanks!
oh and baditude, dang dude you have a lot of posts!

Yep! Mostly by "paying it forward" to help new vapers get a good start in vaping.
there's a 6 amp cutoff and a 20 watt limit. there are no limits with mechs aside from the battery itself. i vape at 40-50 watts and the only way to do that without a hassle to obtain rare electronic devices is through mechs, quality batteries, and subohming.
you may say that i don't need to vape at 30+ watts, but that's how i like it. most people won't like it, but there are many that do.
So there is no way to design a processor to safely regulate sub-ohms, is that it? Good topic here, wondered about it all myself. Something regulated with safety features like an MVP for sub-ohms would have a market, no? Is this a technological limitation or just something manufacturers haven't gotten to yet?
The Duke v1.4 can go up to 50 watts (10 amp limit) and power sub ohm coils down to .6 ohms.
I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, but my friends VTR fires great at 0.8. Don't know if it can go
lower, haven't tried..

There is. But it would be much more expensive since it would have to safely handle significantly more current.
BTW, the MVP 2.0 will fire a coil as low as 0.8 ohms, but the 3.5 amp limit means it won't put more than 2.8 volts through it regardless of what you have the voltage set at.
You need a coil of at least 1.4 ohms in order for the MVP to actually put out 5 volts when you have it set to 5 volts.
It's mainly due to the batteries used in mods like an MVP. They're not high output 18650s. The MVP has a 2600mAH flat pack battery that has a 3 amp limit. Companies may shy away from doing that because of the possibility of a catastrophic battery failure when draining large amounts of current.
I would like to add - unless you are after massive vapes there is really no reason to subohm with a vw/vv mod, proper building and tuning of the coil within the device will provide plenty of vapor at normal resistance for most average vapors. I run a Kayun at 1.3 ohms and it fogs out with ease.
but beyond the safety aspects it takes time to catch up and design things, sub ohming isnt really that old and you cant just whip up a proven and tested board with no research into if it is even going to sell.
the kick2 does subohm and the new DNA 30 will also, as well as a new China board coming.

Even if you are there is no inherent reason. Regulators to a large degree render resistance irrelevant.
