What is subohm vaping?
Vaping in general has been around for a good 6-7 years and everyone was happy with the way things were.
Since around 12 months ago or so. New vaping mods,batteries and atomizer ,have surfaced on the market which essentially give more vapour and to some a better vaping experience.
Subohm vaping is very different than the usual vaping that most vapers know. Basically what us vapers do is take a drag, inhale, take the usual dose of nicotine then exhale as you use a normal analogue cigarette.
The first difference in subohm vaping (one of many) is in the way you inhale. With a usual electronic cigarette vapourette, you do what is called mouth to lung inhale. You take a puff / drag, then inhale the vapour, then exhale.
With subohm vaping you do what is called a lung inhale which is a direct inhale straight to the lung. Shisha / hookah users will be familiar with this technique.
If you are going to use a subohm atomizer, you also have to use a liquid with a lower nicotine content. Usually from 3m up to 12mg at the most. The reason being is that with love inhale the nicotine hit is a lot stronger compared with mouth to lung inhale.
Vaping at subohm also requires a different type of battery and atomizer. Usually much bigger than the batteries and atomisers we use for standard shall vaping.
The atomizer itself is different. Bigger and can absorb more liquid too to evaporate a larger quantity. Subohm atomizer operate at higher temperatures too which is measured in watts rather than volts.
When subohm vaping was first introduced, you could use both voltage and wattage, but these days it's all measured in watts. Bear in mind also that with a subohm atomizer, you will be using more liquid than you would with a standard atomizer.
As for batteries, also known as mods, they are again bigger than the standard Ecig ones be it straight voltage manual or even variable voltage / wattage one. The reason being is....subohm atomizers need a lot more power to function properly than standard atomizers hence a bigger sized battery. Subohm atomizers drain more power out of the battery as well.
Subohm vaping starts at 30watts and goes all the way to 200watts these days. As they become more popular, chances are the wattage will even go higher.
There is nothing quite a variety of subohm devices today so you will be spilt for choice. From a fairly decent small size to some really boxy bulky ones and / or anything in between.
My advice to you is always go for a branded type such as eleaf istick, Joyetech, Aspire, Smok, Innokin, Kanger. There are also cheaper ones on the market but you have to take your chances if you so wish. Usually with cheaper ones, you will almost definitely find that it leaks, gives a burnt taste, etc...
In conclusion. Subohm vaping is not for everyone even though it is gaining popularity. You got to love it and enjoy the tonnes of vapour these mods produce as opposed to the standard ecigs.
If you are switching to Ecigs as a means to end and to just substitute the analogue cigarette, the I would suggest to stay with the standard Ecigs (battery and atomizer)
