iheartvape Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) In an effort to help reduce the overly repetitive question threads that have been popping up, I would like to ask that members read the following questions to yourself BEFORE posting your question. If you answer ANY of these with a YES, please research, and fix that issue prior to asking your question. Not only will this aid in reducing similar threads, it will most likely avoid the detrimental blow to your ego that will almost surely follow if your question is asked in absolute disregard to the above, and below.... 1. Are you unfamiliar with or did not purchase an Ohm meter prior to attempting to rebuild coils? 2. Are you unaware of Ohm Law? 3. Are you unfamiliar with the size, make and capabilities of your battery? 4. Is your primary focus of vaping solely to produce the biggest cloud humanly possible while absolutely being ignorant to your own safety and situational awareness? 5. Have you been vaping less then a day and already are a rebuilding guru who sub ohms using sticks and sweat, and only cares about the cloud? I honestly started this off seriously, but decided to have fun with it. However the first 3 questions are real and should be able to be answered with a NO prior to starting a new thread with a silly question that can be answered by yourself by simply doing a little research.

Tam Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Pssst! You have two #3s in your post. Also, I like the first look better with the semi-bulleted list. Makes it easier to take in instead of the wall o'text. Great points, though! Mtdobies 1
iheartvape Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Yeah I noticed and fixed it... lol. Apparently I should add a number 6 that mentions spell check and ability to count to 5..... lol Tam 1
Bebop Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Lol. Something should be in there to suggest that a minimumof 4 hours of personal reasearch should be done in the applicable forum before posting a question READ THE STICKIES!!!! Edited May 21, 2014 by Bebop12 Tam 1
Bebop Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Although I might add a few of the stickies could do with a little updating to bring in to modern times.. I wonder if that's possible?
3Rutez Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I brought the chili and baby powder. Let's get this cloud contest started!
Tam Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Forget baby powder, I got a keg of gun powder! Bring it, 3Rutez. iheartvape 1
3Rutez Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Whoa! You are a hardcore cloud chaser. Watch out for sparks!
Happy Vapor Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I'm gonna sit waaaay back with my pop corn and watch. This is gonna be good. Let the sparks fly.
Bebop Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Know what would be cool? A new sticky - sort of a "quick guide" . You know something that summarizes the basics and then refers you to deeper locations for details.. That would be sweet, hint hint *cough comp cough* Edited May 21, 2014 by Bebop12
Earthling789 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Stickies are good... and I agree that some could use an update, and I like the Quick-Start Guide idea Search is an underused tool (although I'm guilty of not digging too deep in the searches, too)... And points #4 and #5 seem to be an issue lately, don't they (not just on the forum)? Noob's chasing huge clouds is not something new though... just like guys who drop $15K on a fancy, over-powered sport-bike (without learning how to ride first) with the sole purpose of popping wheelies and doing 'stoppies' because they look cool on youtube "SQUIDs", in the bike-world... And when one of them gets hurt doing something stupid... they give the rest of us a bad reputation... iheartvape 1

They haven't even mastered riding the tricycle yet and want to zoom down the road on a full tour Harley. Yeah. Not happening with any good results.
Jeffb Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Somebody make a sticky worthy post and I will hereby sticky it. ........ does that sound dirty? iheartvape 1

Tam Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 An ohm checker is the little round piece that goes on a checker board that is very zen... 3Rutez and Compenstine 2
Compenstine Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 OHMs LAW ... OHM's LAW Teaching Aid AMPEREs measures how many electrons go past a point. OHMs measures resistance to the electrons flowing freely. VOLTAGE measures the push on electrons to force them through resistance. You already understand Ohms Law? Oh! E=I*R Tam 1
Compenstine Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 The three main terms used in electricity are; (1) Ampere or Amp, which denotes the measure of current flow. (2) Volt, denoting the measure of electrical force or pressure. (3) Ohm, a measure of electrical resistance. The relationship of these is expressed in Ohm's Law which states that Volts = Amps x Ohms. By knowing any two of these parameters, the third can also be calculated thus: - Volts = Amps x Ohms Ohms = Volts divided by Amps Amps = Volts divided by Ohms Also: Watts (Power) = Volts x Amps
Bebop Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Ohm Cheka leka leka Ohm Cheka leka leka Ohm Cheka leka leka Ohm Cheka leka leka I'm here all week, folks. Tam 1
