Raguri Rant - Sub Ohming and Newbies.

And as to Raguri's post. Spot fucking on, don't even get me started.

Reminds me of a post me and Danny K were involved in on facefuck the other day, new builder posted a pic of his third build which was a dual 22 gauge 7 wrap build. In fucking sanity.

I like my vaping,I like the devices I use,I like to vape at around 60-90 watts,to do this I used to use 18650 VTC4's but soon tired of constantly recharging them & the need to modify RDA's to allow cooler vapour.

I now run lipo cells(as I wasn't convinced of the authenticity of the vendors claimed stats for 18650's)which allow crazy amp draws safely,and to reduce the amp draw still further I use 8.4 volt packs.These allow 90 watts of vapour from unmodified attys for far longer time periods than the VTC4's.

Sam demonstrated cloud chasing to me,I decided it was the most suitable method to keep me off tobacco and as I used to be an apprentice electrician I had at least a basic understanding of the safest way to achieve this.


I have seen POTV posts stating "can someone tell me the resistance of x wraps of kanthal?" and further along the thread they reveal the thickness of wire,the former they use & that the reason they're asking is THEY DON'T EVEN OWN AN OHMS METER/MULTIMETER!

I have also seen posts asking whether a very hot mod/battery is safe.

I have nothing to add to this discussion other than....

do your research before trying to emulate Sam/use a sub-ohm setup.

This is it. Chegs is very knowledgeable in battery safety. Raguri in the mod/coil department. And both of them have written plenty on the subjects .
So if folk are willing to open there eyes and look, there is quite a vast pre typed knowledge base on here. Add that to an ohms law calculator and a coil calculator and bingo. Your safe.
 
Was in a vape shop t'other day who say that more people had asked to buy the sub tank that they didn't sell it to than that they did... that's good this particular shop are asking questions of new users of it and then on the basis of whether they could be sure those people know how to use safely are deciding whether or not to sell it rather than just making as much money as they can... better a lost sale than a user missing a few fingers or an eye...
 
Just for comparison there is another shop I know of selling them to new users with no idea how they work themselves. .. i.e. couldn't even tell me what the stock coils were built to and telling me they are like you can build your own coils... all this with no reference to safety or compatibility. .. I swiftly left thw shop in question and they will never gain any custom from me... or anyone I know who asks about vaping as I will tell people to avoid shopping there... and I do subohm quite happily. .. this place in question also do not sell ohms readers or decent batteries. .. and have recently heard of other local shops where they sell batteries that are not safe even with non subohm builds with sub tanks and the like... not mentioning names... but the decent shops know me and chat with me and gain my custom. .. the others don't
