What is sub-ohm vaping?

Sub-ohming is vaping on a device where the coil has a resistance typically below 0.4 ohms. The coil will contain larger wicking holes to increase the airflow. You will be able to use more power, and the thicker wire means that more surface area is in contact with the e-liquid-soaked cotton.

The reason that advanced vapers ‘sub-ohm’ is to have the ability to increase the power output from their devices, creating more vapour and flavour from their e-liquid.

Typically, sub-ohm vapers favour the direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping style. When the vapour is inhaled straight into the lungs, it increases the amount of vapour they can take in each puff. They also choose high VG e-liquids to increase vapour production even further.
