Looking at the charts, I would like to keep what I do in the green zone. What I cannot find is a chart that goes low enough in ohms to tell whether or not what I am doing is okay. My latest atomizer build is a .4 ohm on a Plume Veil. I use it with max airflow, side windows open full and top cap open allowing air. Excellent vapor production (for me anyway), at 7 watt - 1.7V (IPV2X mod reading). So where do you think that type of build would land in the charts. Safe to say I am in the green zone? I guess maybe I have developed some paranoia with this formaldehyde thing that has been floating around the internet. Does anyone know where to find a chart or calculator that goes from .1 ohm on up and indicating the safe areas?
Thanks,
Charles
I have tried this a couple of different ways in other threads, without really getting edumucated completely.
One more try. I generally consult that Power Chart 2.0 to identify safe vape ranges for different resistances.
Some say that those charts do not apply when there are two coils in parallel. I don't understand how. At the end of the day, the resistance is the resistance.
Anyway, is there a chart anywhere that can identify Safe vape ranges for different resistances - when the coil design is not single but dual, in parallel.
My clearo, by the way, is a dual coil Eleaf GS Air. I love what it does in the safe range, but when I occasionally cheat and push it up a bit, I Do get more vapor and flavor. But, I don't want to be doing it if it isn't safe. [aka firing hot enough to generate formaldehyde, etc.]
Eleaf says it is designed for 3.5v to 5.5v. But then again, any company citing specs is focused on selling, not necessarily my safety/health.
Anyone have a genuine factual answer?
I had this thought yesterday. I'm pretty sure that the mechanics for such an idea is not currently in place, but it would be cool if there was a weekly or monthly Hitlist chart for e juice, just like there is for music, movies and other things.
The chart would track the top online retailers and also some brick & mortars that participate. That would cover most places where people buy e juice I believe.
Wouldn't it be cool to see what the #1 selling e juice in the USA is for this week? Wouldn't it be cool to notice if an unknown, brand new flavor made its way in to the chart for a certain week?
Everybody has different tastes in juice, and some juices that people boast about is the same exact juice that other people hate. Reviews are 100% subjective, but this chart wouldn't be, because it would be based on sales data and nothing else. It wouldn't tell somebody how juices taste, but it would tell somebody how much juices are selling compared to other juices, based on their chart position.
I would be more likely to test a juice that was high on the charts, instead of relying on somebody else's subjective review. Either way, I just think that it would be cool to see such a chart, and to have it updated every week or every month, just for the sake of curiousity and entertainment. It would also be a good thing for juice manufacturers in my opinion, because it could help to drive more sales for popular juices.
vaparroos,
so here is a chart: http://i.imgur.com/6oraBGI.png
this charts says if i have a 1.2 ohm in my kanger subtank that i can vape at 6.0 volts at 30 watts and be ok, but i know that is not the case...
when i'm vaping at 1.2 ohm at 3.8 votls its ok, but i'm in the orange too...why am i still in the orange at 6 volts?
hope that makes sense...
Okay so not sure if this is the right section or not but its the only relevant place I could find. .
My first build was okay coils turned out fine but the wicking and position of the coils where terrible. So I decided to have another go.
Opinions appreciated.
Using smok xpro m80
Plume veil v1.5 clone
26gauge kanthal
Wrapped around a 2mil precision screwdriver.
8 or 9 wraps can't remember.
And reading at .46 ohms
P.s don't know why the coils look like there glowing purple but I promise their not haha.
Ok I'm hoping I don't get heat for these questions/statements but educating ones self especially with something that is still very new is important to me.
1. Read some articles on how there is second hand vape similar to cigarettes (99% better mind you) what are your thoughts? Vaping may not be as safe as smokers think, research suggests | Society | The Guardian
2. Formaldehyde found in builds running at high watts/voltage? But 0% at low/normal builds, what i can't seem to find is whats considered to high for a Mechanical Mod or even for a V/W, V/V Setup? My normal build for a mech mod is twisted single coil 24 gauge 6-7 wraps, usually gets about 0.28 ohms and single coil 8 wraps of 24 gauge puts out 0.73 ohms on my flavor builds.

Let me clarify I enjoy sub-ohm and cloud chasing. It's not rocket science and can be as safe as any other vape. My annoyance is with TC coils being sold by Kanger and such at .2 ohms. You can daily read on here someone wanting to play with low ohm coils that have no understanding of ohms law. Add to that people tend to believe if it's made from a factory and it fits a mod then it's safe. I'm just waiting to read about someone placing a TC coil on a mech using a AW bat with a 10amp limit thinking they are safe because everything seems to work together. They don't know any better and I have no quarrel with that, it's part of learning. It's companies and individuals selling products with no regards to wether the person understands the risks and to make things worse half the people working at vape shops don't know any better either. I talked to a couple guys working that said learning ohms law was a waste of time to just use the calculator apps. Those apps build complacency and complacency is one of the most dangerous things in the world.
I looked around and couldn't find anything like this so I decided to make one..
It isn't done yet but I figured I would throw up what I had in the hopes that it could help save everyone some money..
The lowest and highest prices in each column will auto highlight (green and red) to make it easier to find
Please Note:
- Prices are subject to change and this is only meant to be used as a reference to find the best pricing available
- These prices do NOT include shipping (that is something I will add later)
I will also be making one that has wicking material, flavoring and Bases (for DIYing) along with DIY supplies.. If there is anything else you all would like to have a comparison chart done on let me know, I have plenty of time and I am bored lol
I was thinking about putting this on google docs so the community can update prices as they find cheaper ones, but ill hold off for now just to see if this is something everyone would like
Enjoy
Here's a short vid I made to comprehensively, yet simply explain what you need to know about batteries and resistances to keep you safe

So no mine didn't melt haha but I was wondering what the best build would be for a plume so I could prevent this? I normally go with a .3 ohm build 24 gauge 7 wrap so yeah thanks guys!
I rebuilt a new coil 1.4 ohms. I am having this issue even with 1.2 ohms I have a 20 watt istick. So I know a lot of people have this harsh hit (not dry just hot) and a longer drip tip solves the problem. But for some reason I am barely getting any vapor production even at a higher watt and open air flow. Anyone have ideas if I am too vague please ask away.
