Raguri Rant - Sub Ohming and Newbies.

[scrumpox]

They've been doing that long before the sub ohm stuff, and it still goes on.

This just last week. This will kill people.

Ha! I've got one of those ClearSmoke wallchargers still in its box somewhere ... anyone want it?

Yawn, to often people have grownup in the nanny state where risk assessments are required just for an adult to wipe a child's nose. I walked to school, my own children walked to school. I also used to attend various activities of an evening and walk home alone through unlit parks, my daughter muttered something about it being scary which I resolved by explaining THIS was why it was as safe as a lit footpath as it scared away the "bogey man too "

A little commonsense is all that's required, whether new to vaping or an old hand. It stands to reason that a coil of 0.09 ohms (that melted the big battery ) isn't going to work on an ego battery, yet still people will try it. I managed to singe off my eyebrows playing with fire, I also still have the scars on my leg from fire yet I didn't die and can warn others that petrol vapour might not be visible but it can still hurt you, or that melted plastic behaves like water when you throw rocks in it and splashes of molten plastic are seriously fucking painful on bare skin.

All I'm actually trying to point out is that some people will ask about safety and sub-ohm and some won't give a shit until they're in hospital. Unfortunately, we're following the USA and instantly looking for someone else to blame instead of looking at what's left of our face in the mirror and stating " well,that was a really fucking stupid thing I did "

So to conclude then, people will realise it's unsafe when half there face is missing. Well it took us 23 pages to get there, but I knew there was a solution. Why didn't we think of that. Cheers.

If you don't understand whats on there, you shouldn't be sub ohming.

If you do understand, the resistance is calculated from measured current and voltage, so its circuit resistance - battery internal resistance, wiring, connector, switch, 510 connector, rda AND coils.....

As an aside, take a good look at the wattage, then stop telling me your mech is firing at 200 watts. It really isn't.

That little calculation is what I've been using for a few days now, definitely dont try to fire it witg a round li ion cell.

gords1001 are you sure you understand the numbers?
It's a relatively minor point in the grand scheme but if you're measuring loaded battery voltage across the terminals then your calculated impedance does not include the internal resistance of said battery

I think personally its that people in general (not all cases) have no real "progression"....

Only a year/18 months ago the choices were limited....so you start of with a ce4, then progress onto an iclear maybe or similar, then a kayfun like atty.....its the same as a mod....ego/mvp2/mech/dna.....

Now the choices and prices are such that you can pick up a device and set up for very little money now and get instant clouds/sub ohm.....

I mean, how much was a stig dna20 when they first came out?

17 months ago when I started a Vamo scared the shit out of me. Then the Hana DNA30 came along around the same time I got into rebuilding

Sub ohming was very, very niche back then

 

[IrishHobo]

A perfect example of the dangers when using certain vaping items with little to no prior research was my first and only battery issue. Stacked 18500 ultra fire batteries getting hot and having an albeit minor vent was all I needed to get my act together and take some time to learn how to vape safely. Though it is no excuse this was quite some time ago when anything other than a cigalike was quite niche. Information is key but with anything there will be those who choose to ignore advice and recommendations and when it comes to sub ohming and high wattage vaping it will only lead to a bitter end imo.

Oh, fuck me! REALLY?
Well thank you professor for calculating ohms to 9 decimal places ... as I fire the 0.8ohm coil in my regulated 30W device the juice somehow tastes better now AND

I have just had the misfortune to witness a post on a FB group of a guy using a subtank on a bog standard ego 'for a laugh' and even videoing himself doing it. He couldn't wait apparently for his 'clooper' to arrive.

Following that a number of folk then suggested what he was doing was actually ill advised/dangerous. 'LOL' was the response. Shockingly though others shared in the general hilarity of the risk he was taking.

Another suggested he wouldn't have posted if the battery had taken his face off. 'LOL bet I would' he replied

Later we learn his battery 'died'. Well how amusing. Twat

Not everyone uses a regulated device, you get that professor?
