Sub-Ohm Vape Coils are high-performance coils with resistance below 1.0Ω, specifically designed for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping. Operating at higher wattages (typically 30-120W+), these coils produce significantly warmer vapour, dense clouds, and intensified flavour compared to traditional MTL coils. The "sub-ohm" name derives from their resistance rating—anything under 1 ohm qualifies.

Our comprehensive collection features coils from leading manufacturers: Aspire, SMOK, VooPoo, GeekVape, Vaporesso, UWELL, and Innokin. Available in various resistances including 0.15Ω, 0.2Ω, 0.4Ω, 0.5Ω, and 0.8Ω configurations. Choose between advanced mesh designs for superior flavour and traditional wire coils. Compatible with sub-ohm tanks and high-powered vape kits—ideal for cloud chasers and experienced vapers.

Understanding Sub-Ohm Vaping

Why sub-ohm coils deliver exceptional performance for DTL vapers.

What Makes Coils Sub-Ohm?

Any coil with resistance below 1.0Ω is classified as sub-ohm. Lower resistance allows more electrical current to flow through the coil, generating significantly more heat. This increased power vaporises larger quantities of e-liquid rapidly, producing dense clouds and intense flavour profiles.

Below 1.0Ω High Power Rapid Heating

Direct-to-Lung Vaping Style

Sub-ohm coils are specifically designed for DTL inhalation—drawing vapour directly into lungs, bypassing the mouth. This technique maximises vapour volume and delivers fuller flavour on exhale. Requires open airflow systems and high-VG e-liquids for optimal performance.

DTL Technique Open Airflow Cloud Production

High Wattage Requirements

Sub-ohm coils demand substantial power—typically 30-120W+ depending on resistance. Your device must handle these wattages and possess sufficient battery capacity. Most sub-ohm setups use dual-battery mods (18650 cells) to supply adequate power for sustained vaping sessions.

Sub-Ohm Resistance Ranges

Matching resistance to your preferred vaping experience.

Resistance	Typical Wattage	Vapour Production	Flavour Intensity	Battery Consumption	Best For
0.15Ω-0.2Ω	80-120W+	Maximum clouds	Very intense, warm	Extremely high	Cloud chasers, competitions
0.4Ω-0.5Ω	40-70W	Large clouds	Intense, balanced	High	Everyday DTL vaping
0.6Ω-0.8Ω	25-40W	Moderate clouds	Enhanced, warm	Moderate	RDTL, transitioning vapers

Lower resistances require higher wattages but deliver warmer vapour and bigger clouds. Check your device's wattage capacity and coil manufacturer recommendations. Use high-VG e-liquids (70/30 VG minimum) with all sub-ohm coils for proper wicking and performance.

Benefits of Sub-Ohm Vaping

Massive Vapour Production

Sub-ohm coils excel at cloud production. High wattage rapidly vaporises substantial e-liquid quantities, generating dense, billowing clouds. Ideal for cloud chasers, vape tricks, and those who enjoy the visual aspect of vaping. Produces clouds significantly larger than MTL devices.

Dense Clouds Visual Impact

Enhanced Flavour Intensity

Warmer vapour temperature amplifies flavour profiles dramatically. Larger coil surface area—especially in mesh designs—vaporises e-liquid evenly, extracting maximum taste. Flavours become richer, more pronounced, with greater depth. Particularly effective with fruity and dessert e-liquids.

Rich Flavour Taste Depth

Warm, Satisfying Hits

High-power operation produces noticeably warmer vapour compared to MTL vaping. This warmth enhances throat sensation and overall satisfaction. Many vapers find DTL more fulfilling than cooler MTL draws. Adjustable airflow lets you fine-tune warmth and cloud density.

Warm Vapour Satisfying Draws

Adjustable Airflow Systems

Sub-ohm tanks feature sophisticated adjustable airflow. Wide-open airflow produces maximum clouds with slightly cooler vapour; restricted airflow concentrates flavour whilst reducing cloud size. Experiment to find your perfect balance between flavour intensity and vapour production.

Customisable Experience Airflow Control

Faster Nicotine Delivery

Larger vapour volume delivers nicotine more rapidly than MTL devices. Use lower nicotine strengths (3mg-6mg freebase) with sub-ohm coils—higher strengths become overwhelmingly harsh. This efficient delivery satisfies cravings effectively despite lower nicotine concentrations.

Efficient Delivery Lower Nicotine

Mesh vs Standard Wire Sub-Ohm Coils

Mesh Sub-Ohm Coils

Utilise flat mesh strips instead of wound wire. Dramatically larger heating surface area provides even vaporisation, eliminating hot spots. Superior flavour reproduction, faster ramp-up times, and typically 30-50% longer lifespan versus standard coils. Now industry standard for sub-ohm vaping.

Even Heating Superior Flavour Longer Lasting

Standard Wire Sub-Ohm Coils

Traditional kanthal, nichrome, or stainless steel wire wrapped around cotton. Proven technology delivering reliable performance. Often more affordable than mesh equivalents. Still preferred by some vapers for specific flavour profiles. Works excellently for beginners exploring sub-ohm vaping.

Traditional Cost-Effective Reliable

Which Sub-Ohm Coil Type?

Mesh coils generally provide superior overall performance—better flavour, longer life, more even heating. Cost slightly more but justify expense through extended lifespan and enhanced experience. Standard coils remain excellent value. Try both—most vapers prefer mesh after comparison.

Mesh Recommended Both Perform Well

E-Liquid Compatibility for Sub-Ohm Coils

VG/PG Ratio	Viscosity	Cloud Production	Flavour	Throat Hit	Sub-Ohm Suitability
70/30 VG	Thick	Excellent clouds	Smooth, rich	Mild	Minimum recommended
80/20 VG	Very thick	Maximum clouds	Very smooth	Very mild	Ideal for sub-ohm
Max VG	Extremely thick	Massive clouds	Ultra-smooth	Minimal	Cloud chasing only

Critical: Never use 50/50 e-liquids or nic salts in sub-ohm coils. Thin liquids cause flooding and leaking; high nicotine becomes unbearably harsh at high wattages. Use 3mg-6mg freebase nicotine with 70/30 VG minimum. Browse our high-VG e-liquid collection for compatible options.

Sub-Ohm Vaping Tips for Beginners

Start with Higher Resistance

Begin your sub-ohm journey with 0.6Ω-0.8Ω coils at moderate wattages (25-40W). This provides DTL experience without overwhelming vapour production or battery drain. Gradually progress to lower resistances as you become comfortable with technique and power requirements.

Always Prime Thoroughly

Sub-ohm coils require meticulous priming. Saturate cotton completely, fill tank, wait 10-15 minutes before first use. Start at lower wattage, gradually increase. Dry hits burn cotton instantly at high power—proper priming prevents premature coil failure.

Use Low Nicotine Strength

Never exceed 6mg freebase nicotine with sub-ohm coils. High vapour volume delivers substantial nicotine rapidly—12mg+ becomes extremely harsh and unpleasant. Most sub-ohm vapers use 3mg or 6mg. Nic salts are completely unsuitable for sub-ohm vaping.

Invest in Quality Batteries

Sub-ohm vaping demands high-drain batteries. Use authentic Samsung, Sony, or LG 18650 cells rated 20A+ continuous discharge. Cheap batteries cannot handle sub-ohm power requirements safely. Purchase from reputable suppliers only—counterfeits pose serious safety risks.

Follow Wattage Recommendations

Check coil packaging for manufacturer's wattage range. Start at minimum, increase gradually until finding your sweet spot. Exceeding maximum burns cotton; operating below minimum produces weak, unsatisfying vapour. Each resistance has optimal power range.

Manage Battery Life Expectations

Sub-ohm vaping consumes batteries rapidly—dual-battery mods typically last 4-8 hours of moderate use. Carry spare batteries or external charger for all-day vaping. Lower resistances drain batteries faster. Consider battery capacity when selecting your sub-ohm setup.

Sub-Ohm Coil Lifespan & Maintenance

Usage Level	Typical Lifespan	Daily ML Consumption	E-Liquid Impact	Replacement Indicators
Moderate Vaper	1-2 weeks	5-10ml	Sweet liquids halve life	Flavour diminishes, clouds reduce
Heavy Vaper	4-7 days	10-20ml+	Critical—daily changes possible	Rapid flavour loss, discoloured liquid
Cloud Chaser	3-5 days	15-30ml+	Essential to avoid sweet liquids	Burnt taste, gurgling, leaking

Sub-ohm coils consume more e-liquid and typically last shorter than MTL coils due to higher power operation. Mesh coils last longer than standard wire. Avoid sucralose-sweetened dessert flavours—they create excessive coil gunk. Replace immediately when flavour deteriorates; don't push worn coils.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wattage should I use for sub-ohm coils? +

Always check the coil packaging for manufacturer's recommended wattage range. Generally: 0.15Ω-0.2Ω coils work at 80-120W+, 0.4Ω-0.5Ω coils at 40-70W, and 0.6Ω-0.8Ω coils at 25-40W. Start at the lower end of the range, increase gradually until you find your preferred balance of flavour, vapour, and warmth. Never exceed the maximum wattage—this burns cotton instantly.

Can I use nic salts with sub-ohm coils? +

No, never use nicotine salts with sub-ohm coils. Nic salts contain 10mg-20mg nicotine concentrations designed for low-power MTL devices. At high wattages with massive vapour production, nic salts deliver overwhelming nicotine levels causing extreme throat harshness, nausea, and potential nicotine overdose. Only use 3mg-6mg freebase nicotine e-liquids with sub-ohm coils.

What VG/PG ratio works best for sub-ohm vaping? +

Use minimum 70/30 VG for sub-ohm coils. Higher VG ratios (80/20, Max VG) work even better, producing denser clouds and smoother vapour. Never use 50/50 e-liquids—they're too thin for sub-ohm coils, causing flooding, leaking, and poor performance. The thick consistency of high-VG liquids properly wicks through larger coil ports whilst preventing leakage.

Are mesh coils better for sub-ohm vaping? +

Yes, mesh coils generally outperform standard wire coils for sub-ohm vaping. The larger, flat heating surface provides more even vaporisation, eliminating hot spots that burn cotton. This delivers superior flavour reproduction, faster ramp-up, and typically 30-50% longer lifespan. Most modern sub-ohm coils now use mesh technology as standard. Both types work well, but mesh represents current industry standard.

How long do sub-ohm coils typically last? +

Sub-ohm coils typically last 4-14 days depending on usage intensity, e-liquid type, and wattage. Moderate vapers achieve 1-2 weeks; heavy users may need weekly changes; extreme cloud chasers might replace every 3-5 days. Sweet, sucralose-containing e-liquids significantly reduce lifespan by creating coil gunk. Mesh coils generally last longer than standard wire. Replace immediately when flavour diminishes or burnt taste appears.

Do I need a special device for sub-ohm vaping? +

Yes, sub-ohm vaping requires a device capable of firing at resistances below 1.0Ω and delivering adequate wattage (typically 30-120W+). Most sub-ohm setups use dual-battery box mods (18650 cells) for sufficient power. Your device must have proper safety features, high-drain batteries, and compatibility with sub-ohm tanks. Single-battery pod systems generally cannot handle sub-ohm power requirements safely or effectively.
