Low Ohm Mod Recommendations?

I’ve been in the world of mechs for quite awhile now, but have been thinking it’d be nice to pick up a good Variable Device to have (the last one I picked up was the RX200 when they first came out).
I never got into the whole TC thing, so, that’s not a must, though it seems about every VV/VW Device I’ve seen nowadays has that regardless.
The main hang up I seem to be running across that made me think to throw a line out here for recommendations is that I run RDA’s and very occasionally RDTA’s, and my builds typically run between .08-.12, so, I’m looking for a device that will fire that low in Wattage Mode (Not in TC Mode). I have a Twisted Messes Box that fires down to .05, so I know they’re out there...just seems that the standard most use is .10 in Wattage Mode. It doesn’t have to be tiny or stealthy, but I do stand and walk around all day for my job and would prefer something to fit comfortably in a front pocket of some jeans. Preferably looking for a 2 battery device, though I’m not opposed to having a device that can run multiple battery configurations as long as it is still possible to stay in a pocket comfortably or at least has a 2-battery configuration option to slim it down while at work. It seems like most options out there are 150+ in regards to max Wattage and that would be fine...just not looking for a max of 50 or 75, as I need a bit more Wattage for the warm vape I’m accustomed to. As for aesthetics, it’s not a big deal, though something more neutral would be preferred to having a crazy neon splatter effect colored box...just something that will work with most color variety RDA’s (such as copper/black/silver RDA’s).
Price range is not a huge issue, but I’d rather not have to drop $300 on a mod, at the same time.
Any recommendations you guys have would be great, as with trying to research blindly with so many options out there nowadays is proving problematic. Thanks in advance!


You're not drinking water are you?! You realize that stuff is found in antifreeze!?!

It will fire down to pretty much a dead short:
Ohm Resistance Range: 0.007Ω - 3Ω

I have fired it just fine at .07 before.
You have to do an update which is simple and it's 171 watts with dual 18650's

Right now there is a HUGE sale and it only costs $47.30 shipped.

In fact I am buying another one at that price before I hit enter to this post :)

There is a very large thread on this device on the forum and everyone loves it.

G2 or voopoo drag.
Honestly it is a toss up between the two.

What i don't understand is why build so low regulated.

L9w ohm is required to get both coil mass and wattage for unregulated devices... but low ohm is not required of Regulate devices to ahieve wattage from high mass coils.

The only reason I ended up that low was because i was trying to fit some 22ga stainless into an RTA.

I tore that back out and went back to my usual 316l ss staggered fused claptons that come out to 0.15 ohms

I love 316ss so much that I'll deal with the lower ohms instead of using kanthal.

I can taste the kanthal now
I guess i spoiled myself:)

I get why low ohm... . I just never really got the desire to use thick wire to get there.... I always find 2 or 3 thin wires a better vape than 1 fat wire..... but then I also don't like the vape of wrapped wire builds. I also find adding a few wraps as affective as going to thicker wire.

As we know vaping is individual. We all have our own route to satisfaction.

It’s not really a matter of needing to or having to build that low...it’s more along the idea that I want it to have the ability to go that low.
Sitting down and building exotic coils to me has ended up to be more of an addiction than the nicotine I vape for. I’ve said before that even if somehow vaping was banned or I quit vaping I would probably still grab my tools and drill and have fun tinkering around with coil building just because it’s a calming and relaxing hobby for me.
That being said, I like using my Alien Coils that I build and the range they always end up at falls around the .08-.12 Ohm range. And back when I was using regulated devices and I got my RX200, it was a pain having to deal with a mod that wouldn’t fire below a .10, because, typically my Aliens before being fired read between .07-.08 but after working out hot spots and getting even glowing, the ohms would bump up to .11-.12, so, in order to use the coils I preferred to build and use, I had to build on the RDA, then break out my Twisted Messes Box (because it fired down to .05) to use to warm up the coils and get them working like they were supposed to and in that process, the ohms would bump up over that .10 limitation so that I could move the RDA over to my RX200 to use...and that’s just a problem that I can avoid having to repeat if the mod I get will fire down low enough that I don’t have to play musical chairs with the RDA every time I want to replace the coils.
Like you said..preferences differ from person to person and I’m just looking to avoid a problem I had in the past by making it a non-issue right out of the gate.

Sounds like you are a candidate for a PWM (? ) type device..... or a VV or big lipo box.

wow, great price. guessing they might be discontinued if they are being sold that cheap. I think I paid $65 or so when I bought my 4 g2's earlier this year.
