I have a zenith v2 clone and I was looking for some recommended builds for me to get the fattest clouds i can get. I'm pretty new to rebuilding but I have to start somewhere. Thanks [emoji1]
Best build for cloud chasing?

What battery are you using and what is its amp limit?
Do you have an ohm reader?
How many coils have you built already?

I just purchased an ohm reader and I have a Sony vtc 4 and as for the amp limit I am not sure. I'm waiting for my shop to restock on vtc 5s
If you're new to building you probably shouldn't start by cloud chasing.
As it goes, the lower the resistance of your setup, the hotter the coils get, and the more vapor is produced.
As baditude said, before you go on this (dangerous) quest you should have the best batteries (Sony VCT5's) and an ohm reader to check the resistance of your build. Once you have these items, spend a lot of time with ohm's law to know where safety begins to go out the window.
It's kind of like rock climbing. You don't want to immediately jump into scaling El Capitan in Yosemite before you even know how to work a belay. You're going to have a bad time.

See, this is the reason I asked the above questions. Knowing the amp limit of your battery is CRITICAL information when you build a sub-ohm coil for cloud chasing. You didn't have the info necessary to sub-ohm safely. You have no business cloud chasing yet.
You need to do more research before you cloud chase. Not knowing what you are doing is dangerous. First learn to build some normal resistance coils; once you have that perfected then you can try something below 1.0 ohm. (BTW, your Sony VTC4 has a 30 amp rating.)

The shop I bought the vape at built me a 0.5 ohm vape. How do I find out the amp limit? Should I know when I bought it because they did not tell me. They didn't even give me a box for the battery
/sigh.
Read what baditude wrote, he gave you the answer. And make sure you read all the links he posted aswell.
You're far from ready yet. You've to learn your stuff. Read up abit you've alot to learn.
Then you can ask questions.
I'm not trying to sound like an idiot I'm honestly not sure where to start so I'll start by reading those links.
lol perfect.
The vape shop should have at least told you the amp limit. Normally, they won't come with a box because they're bought in bulk. A quick google search will produce results. Be safe man, you don't want a battery venting ----> detonating in your face.
See this is what drive me crazy about a lot of B&M shops out there. They are building these new vapers sub-ohm builds and not educating them at all as to any possible dangers.
No no, everybody has to learn and start somewhere. Just about 963.27 pages of literature and 413.82 minutes of youtube videos and you'll be ready.
Yea that's a great start, read up on those links posted.
Then you've alot of information at the rebuildable forum aswell.

You're fine. Everyone is pleased that you are here asking questions instead of blowing your face off with an unsafe coil build.
An unfortunate accident on your part affects all of us as a vaping community because of negative media attention. So it is in everyone's self interest that you vape safe.
Sorry if I came across as being critical of you. I guess I have to learn that people don't always know that cloud chasing can be extremely dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. You see other people blowing clouds and say, "Hey, I want that too!". Not realizing that a lot of education and proper gear is necessary to get there. This cloud chasing stuff is NOT plug & play easy.

@ OP, I spent hour, no, days reading on this forum, researching on the internet, watching reputable youtube videos, etc. before I even bought a mechanical and an RDA. I'm now what I would consider to be quite knowledgable on Ohm's law, battery limits, and most importantly, SAFETY. I spent a week and at least 30+ hours of actual research before I added anything to 'my cart'. Since you already have the stuff, I suggest you put it down, and do the same.
I don't mean for that to sound rude or disrespectful, I would just hate to see you post in a day or two with a hole in your hand or your face covered in burns. It just isn't worth it.

Edit: Also on cloud chasing, it is indeed fun, but just please be careful. I just watched Rip's "Cloud chasing 101 part 2" And he builds a .06 or a .09 coil using a VTC5.... All while saying "Safety is number 1 blah blah blah use VTC5's blah blah blah" While I do enjoy his videos, this upset me. A .09 coil build is pulling 46.66667 amps on a fresh battery. WELL above the 30 amp limit. While VTC5's do have a 60 amp pulsing limit, IMO this still isn't very smart. Especially to be showing off to people who could be misinformed.

And here is a person who has come to learn. Very cool my friend, I wish you the best of luck on your quest.
