Hey there my mechanical keyboard and vaping family!
So, randomly eating pizza I have come up with the idea of giving daily vape tips on this thread.
Now I am not trying to boast like I have all the knowledge, but I have worked in the vape industry for more than a year doing research on my own as well as learning from the best minds in the industry. Their knowledge surpassed mine, and we bounced ideas and concepts off of each other daily. These tips are really meant for those of you that have started vaping recently and need some ideas on what to buy, what builds to build, and etc. Do not hesitate to contribute or discuss the tips given.
You do not have to follow these tips, but these all stem from experience from other vapers as well as myself.
So here we go!
Tip #1: You don't need to super-subohm on a high wattage device
Back when I started vaping over two years ago, sub-ohming started to boom. We had no choice but to sub ohm on mechanical mods as those are the only mods we had that could produce the clouds that we all desired. To achieve great lengths of vape production, we had to build 0.5 ohms or lower using 26-22 g kanthal, N80, or other types of specialty wire. The reason was that the power was being supplied directly from the battery (which we all made sure they were safe to handle the resistance), and because of this, we had to build low to get the full strength.
Times have changed and high variable wattage devices have emerged. The biggest misconception with these mods is that you had to build low to reach the desired power. Builders would build their atomizers to 0.2 and lower to reach 150 w or even 80 w. Through research and experience, many of us have found that this is a great misconception. Being able to add more power to coils that are higher resistance made the ramp up time much faster. Therefore, you can build 0.5 ohm coils and it would ramp up as fast as a 0.15 ohm coil using more power. This being said, you have more capabilities using higher ohm coils. A 26g 13 wrap over a 3.0 mm screw driver has much more surface area than a 22 g six wrap over the same size diameter. The resistance will be much higher, but because one has the capability of using more power, you can shoot 90 w and get a warmer much denser cloud than a 22g 6 wrap. The coils also cool down much faster so you don't have to worry about a burning hot atomizer when you touch to take off the cap. This really unlocks the capabilities and versatility in your builds. Now pair those high ohm surface area covering builds with wire like nichrome 80 or stainless steel and the ramp up time would be even faster (and much warmer). This concept of surface area coils that read higher is the reason why a Herakles can handle so much power on a 0.6 ohm coil.
