What is Sub Ohm?

Sub-ohm is a significant part of today's vaping and is very much appreciated by vapers around the world. In this post we will explain what sub-ohm is and the advantages and disadvantages, we will also touch on how to get the best experience.

A subohm device produces more vapor and more flavor than another type of electronic cigarette. Subohm gives a strong throat hit depending on which tank you use.

Two factors when it comes to Sub Ohm Vaping

When talking about Sub ohm vaping, there are two factors that come into play, below you will find the two factors.

Coil resistance

Coil resistance is crucial for sub ohm vaping. Coils with a larger surface conduct more current due to the lowered resistance, thinner coils have the opposite effect as it does not require as much power. It is usually characterized that a coil has sub ohm characteristics when the ohm number is below 1 (example: 0.15 ohm)

The new Mesh coil is shaped like a net and has a larger surface than a traditional coil and the heat is distributed over the large surface resulting in greater vapor production, a recommendation if you are going to start subohma.

Watts

Watts are the power that the electronic cigarette generates and the more watts that are generated, the more heat will be produced resulting in greater vapor production from the coil.

In the context of vaping, this term refers to the power generated by the batteries in your vaping device. Sub ohm units require more watts and shorten battery life as they draw more power.

Choose the right devices for the best experience

Not all e-cigarettes are compatible with this type of vaping and an electronic cigarette must meet some requirements to be classified as a sub ohm device, below you will find types of tanks that are suitable for sub ohm vaping .

Sub ohm Tank

This type of tank is compatible with coils that have a resistance lower than 1.0ohm, for example a 0.3ohm coil, all coils below 1 ohm are classified as sub ohm coils.

Example of a Sub ohm Vape Tank: Vaporesso NRG S Tank

Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (RTA)

An RTA tank is usually compatible with subohming depending on which coil you use, RTA is a very interesting part of vaping, if you like technology and DIY then RTA is a recommendation if you want start with subohming.

Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer (RDA)

Similarly, the RDA is a very exciting and fun alternative to the traditional vape tanks on the market. With an RDA, you can produce large clouds and improve the taste experience considerably.

Example of an RDA: Hellvape Dead Rabbit V2 RDA

Choose the right electronic cigarette for your purpose

If you are looking for a new electronic cigarette that is compatible with sub ohm vaping, you should look out for the max wattage the vape mod is capable of running on and which coils are included (the ohm resistance).

Choose the right e-liquid for your sub-ohm device

It is important to choose e-liquid with the right VG/PG content. E-liquid with a high VG content is suitable for subohm vaping and the recommended content is VG 70 / PG 30 for this particular type of vaping.

What is VG?

VG stands for Vegetable Glycerin and is the substance that makes the e-liquid either more viscous or thinner depending on the VG content of the e-liquid, the more VG the liquid has, the better it is for sub ohm vaping.

What is PG?

PG stands for Propylene Glycol and gives a stronger throat hit when vaping, also here depending on the PG content of the e-liquid, the more PG content, the stronger it will be for the throat.

It is something to keep in mind when sub ohm vaping as this type of vaping creates more clouds and can irritate your throat a lot if the PG content is too high.

Pros and Cons of Sub-ohm vaping

You have to weigh the pros and cons against each other, if you like big clouds and abundant flavor production, then sub ohm is the right type of vaping for that particular purpose. There are also MTL devices that are more aimed at the authentic cigarette experience, if you are more interested in electronic cigarettes that do not create as much vapor and are more focused on a tight airflow, you can view our range of MTL devices at the link during.

So what exactly is Sub Ohm vape?

basically sub ohm vaping is a set of devices that are compatible with each other to produce a greater amount of vapor and improve the taste experience as the more vapor created the more flavor it will result in. If you are going to start with sub ohms, it is important that you understand ohms and VG/PG levels, once you understand that, you can go ahead and test sub ohms.
