Worst fears about B&M shops confirmed.

Sorry to be a noob but can someone explain why sub ohm can be dangerous. [emoji53]

It can be dangerous because it requires far more Amps to power a .2 ohm cool as opposed to a 2.0 ohm coil for example, and a lot of batteries sold in the worse B&M's and all over eBay and the likes don't handle high current continuous drain, making them likely to turn into fireworks. When you're using a mech mod, there's no protection so you've got to know your batteries can handle what you're asking them to do.

Makes sense thanks for the info ☺

Don't ever be sorry for asking a question. Kudos to you for having to brains to ask such a question. You might just have saved your head getting blown off. Well done. Have some cake to celebrate. I am.

Christmas cake I hope

Though i stand firmly by my belief its down to the user to educate themselves

14 years of trying to get kids to understand electricity tells me that this simply isn't possible for a lot of folks.

It's in the interests of the vendors to recruit knowledgable and helpful staff if they want repeat custom and to avoid no-win/no-fee claims when things go tits.

Good point, had i walked into a shop as a newbie having never heard of a vape forum or subohms i wouldn't have come home and started googling battery safety without prompt from the product or seller.

I forget its only a minority of vapers who nerd out over it like me LOL

"When is this stuff ever going to be useful, sir?!"

I know where you're coming from but everyone knows that guns are dangerous, not everyone knows that a simple ecig can be as well.

I completely agree with this. Customers shouldn't have to search the internet for vital safety information on products they can buy on the high street - it should be on the packaging. It is NOT common sense that an ecig tank (with a 510 connection) screwed onto an ecig battery (with a 510 connection) is potentially dangerous.


People have been buying electrical goods for decades without having to worry about Ohm's law and continuous current limits and Li-ion chemistry. It's not reasonable to expect them to suddenly educate themselves about electricity just because they decided to quit smoking.

Its true vaping has changed a lot in the year i've been vaping - before subohm vaping was something niche you had to seek out niche gear to do it with and knowingly build coils in a certain way, and if you knew about it a year ago you were likely clued up from another vaper to a certain degree, now it seems sub-ohm kits are on the high street available to anyone on it so yh it definitely has become the responsibility of the vendor, backtrack much lol
