Nowadays sub-ohm vaping is no longer a new trend, partly due to so many sub-ohm devices becoming available on the e-cigarette market. When it comes to sub-ohm vaping, your first impression must be the ability to vape huge clouds. This is true. As a vaping enthusiast, chasing clouds is definitely your thing, meaning sub ohm e-cigarettes are there to satisfy you! But when you first get access to these sub-ohm devices they can be a little daunting. We are here to make sure you have an enjoyable but safe sub-ohm vaping experience!
What is sub-ohm vaping?
To put it simply, it means vaping on a device that comes with a resistance level of less than 1.0ohm. If higher than this, then you should have a regular resistance for vaping. As the coil resistance gets less, it allows a higher current to flow through, which makes the coil heat up quicker, thus resulting in the e-liquid being vaporized super fast, and finally bringing you a huge vapor cloud and great flavor.
Is sub-ohm vaping dangerous?
If you are active in various vaping communities, you’ll find that sub-ohm vaping is quite a popular yet controversial topic. So is sub-ohm vaping actually dangerous? Honestly, it can be. Usually if you follow some basic safety rules and get hold of some proper first-hand knowledge, sub-ohm vaping can be both safe and enjoyable. But if you are completely new to ohm’s laws, don’t start sub-ohm vaping straight away, it can cause serious accidents such as fires and explosions. So if you are really addicted to the big clouds, please think hard, and do a lot of research on safely vape on sub-ohm device before you get started.
Recommended sub-ohm atomizers
Generally we don’t encourage beginners to go too far when choosing sub ohm tanks. So an atomizer with a coil resistance at 0.5ohm~1ohm would be a better choice. So far, there are many products in this range. The really popular ones are Aspire Atlantis, Kanger Subtank, and Eleaf Melo. (UD Zephyrus is also a good choice if you are quite experienced).
About batteries and mods
Undoubtedly, batteries and mods are the most important element of your setup for sub-ohm vaping. Actually there are too many devices on the market that can be used on a sub-ohm atomizer. But there are still some tips to be aware of:
- Make sure the connection diameter of the battery matches with the size of your atomizer.
- Pay attention to the compatible resistance of the battery you are choosing, see if it fits with your sub-ohm tank.
- Do not overload the battery and please replace it regularly.
- If you like mechanical mods, then please keep them clean including all threads, vent holes, contacts, etc. And do not use cheap, poor quality ones.
It is no denying that sub-ohm vaping can bring you much fun and many people love it. But before you rush into this new world, please make sure you are well prepared. As always, keep safe and have great vaping fun!
