What is Sub-Ohm Vaping
A fair question. In simple terms sub-ohm vaping is the act of using low resistance coils which allow for your wonderfully cheap e liquids to be heated quickly at a higher temperature. The reason this method of vaping is so popular is that it allows you to enjoy more intense e liquid flavours, such as the cheap menthol e liquids, and some seriously big vape clouds.
The coils that you want to look for are those that use less than 1.0 ohms. Anything over this level is considered to be just normal vaping as opposed to sub ohm vaping. Once upon a time sub-ohm devices needed to be built by hand and were something only the most advanced vapers opted for. These days anyone may enjoy sub ohm vaping and there are a number of ready to go devices geared up towards this type of vaping experience.

Top tip: If when sub oh vaping you find that your battery is getting overly hot, switch the device off and let it cool down.
You also need to ensure that you drop the level of nicotine strength that you are used to. A maximum of 6mg of nicotine is suggested. The reason for this is that vaping at a high temperature will amplify the strength of the nicotine naturally.
