What is sub-ohm vaping?

It’s a style of vaping that uses a coil with a resistance below 1.0 ohms. This allows more electrical current to flow to generate higher wattage and, as a result, much larger vapour clouds and more intense flavour. A sub-ohm vape is best paired with high-VG e-liquids (with lower nicotine strength) for an enjoyable experience.

How do I know if my vape is sub-ohm?

The best place to start is to check the coil itself. The resistance (in ohms, Ω) is almost always printed on the coil’s metal casing. If it’s less than 1.0Ω (e.g., 0.15Ω, 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω), you’re sub-ohming. Your device manual will also specify this.

Is sub-ohm vaping dangerous?

When used responsibly with a regulated mod from a reputable brand, it is not inherently dangerous. A modern sub ohm vape kit will have multiple built-in protections against overheating, short circuits, and over-discharging batteries. Risks, however, can arise from user error, like using damaged batteries, incorrect coils, or the wrong type of e-liquid.

Can I use a 50/50 e-liquid in a sub-ohm?

You can, but you probably won't enjoy it. Sub-ohm coils are designed for thicker, high-VG juice. A thinner 50/50 liquid will likely flood the coil, causing problems like gurgling, spitback, and potential leaking. The higher PG content also creates an extremely harsh throat hit at high wattages. For the best experience, stick to 70% VG or higher.

Where's the best place to buy sub-ohm kits online?

Always look for an established, specialist vape retailer like Alectrofag to buy a sub ohm vape kit. These shops deal directly with major brands, guaranteeing you get an authentic product and access to genuine replacement coils and parts.
