Is anyone building and distributing sub-ohm coils with big wicking capabilities? If not why?

Replacement coils that are available (from what I can find) are all 1.5ish and above.
2 response posts... two suggestions of caution and research. A definite trend... wouldn't you say Brooksie? ;-)

Visit the links in my second sig line. Read and read again - practice and practice again - question... until you have no questions.

Safety and satisfaction with rebuildables must require an investment in your education. Do not be discouraged. If you want it, go to it... and do it right.

honestly, if you can't build your own sub ohm coils and have the knowledge of using them safely, you shouldn't be using them.

I agree 100%.
Even the slightest effort to educate oneself about sub-ohm vaping will render you dozens of warnings about the danger involved.
Be safe. Educate yourself. Learn to fly before you attemp to be a pilot, or you might run into some serious problems. ;)

it kind of drives me a little angry about new vapors wanting to sub ohm because its cool or something. this inst high school, you can actually get hurt if you don't know what you are doing you could actually blow up a battery. this is a controlled explosion but this could be inside your mod if you arent careful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTzEHsJVZhA

Jeremy,

Sub-Ohm coils have to be built; you cannot buy them. For what you're running (the Aspire Nautilus and iClear 30s) you actually want coils that fall above 1.8(ish) ohms. These tanks use small coils that are comprised of higher-resistance (smaller) wire which works better in those kinds of clearomizers.

Sub-Ohm coils are best utilized in something like a Dripping Atomizer, where you have much wider airflow capabilities and a larger deck to build on.....You also need to make sure you're running the correct battery. Sub-Ohm vaping is best done on a "mechanical" mod, which does away with all the circuitry (like on your VTR). With a mech mod, you have just a battery that's pumping electricity directly to the coil(s), no circuitry involved. You VTR will sub-ohm, but I think it has something like a 5 amp limit.....

Here is a pic of my Atomic Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer running .4-.5 Ohm Dual Coils....

All great advice but why isn't anyone building these and selling them just like regular kits? All parts include and extra coils to buy. If it can be done by someone at home it's only a matter of time, don't you think?

We are talking about a $2B industry here.

It would not be practical because you can buy material to make 1000 coils for under $10, I change out my coils at least three times a week. Plus the sky is the limit when you build your own. DO NOT BUY sub-ohm coils from anywhere just build them, the research aspect is a important step in sub-ohm coils which comes along when you build your own.
