Why Choose Sub-Ohm Vaping?

Massive Cloud Production

Sub-ohm coils generate more heat at higher wattages, vapourising e-liquid faster and producing significantly larger, denser clouds. Perfect for cloud chasers who love impressive vapour production. The combination of low resistance coils and high power output creates thick, voluminous plumes.

Intense, Rich Flavour

More vapour means more flavour delivery per puff. Sub-ohm devices bring out the full depth and complexity of e-liquids, making every flavour taste bolder and more satisfying. Many vapers consider the flavour from sub-ohm setups to be astonishingly superior to standard devices.

Smooth Lung Hit

Despite the power, sub-ohm vaping delivers a smooth, satisfying lung hit rather than harsh throat sensation. High VG e-liquids combined with warmer vapour create a mellow, comfortable inhale even when taking large draws directly into your lungs.

Sub-Ohm E-Liquid Requirements

Choose the right juice for optimal performance

High VG E-Liquids (70/30+)

Sub-ohm kits require high VG e-liquids—typically 70% VG / 30% PG or higher. The thicker VG consistency handles high temperatures well, producing dense clouds and smooth inhales. High PG liquids are too thin and will leak, spit, or produce harsh hits in sub-ohm devices.

70/30 VG/PG 80/20 VG/PG Max VG Smooth Clouds

Low Nicotine Strengths

Because sub-ohm devices produce so much more vapour, you need lower nicotine strengths to avoid harsh hits and excessive nicotine intake. Maximum recommended strength is 6mg—most sub-ohm vapers use 3mg or 0mg. Never use high-strength nic salts in sub-ohm setups.

0mg 3mg 6mg Max Freebase Only

Shortfill E-Liquids

Shortfills are the go-to choice for sub-ohm vapers. These large bottles (50ml or 100ml) contain 0mg high VG e-liquid with space to add nicotine shots. More economical than 10ml bottles and available in every flavour. Add one nic shot to 50ml for approximately 3mg strength.

Benefits of Sub-Ohm Vaping

Impressive Cloud Production

Sub-ohm kits produce significantly larger, denser vapour clouds than standard devices. Perfect for cloud chasers and those who enjoy making a visual statement. The combination of low-resistance coils and high wattage creates thick, dramatic plumes.

Enhanced Flavour Intensity

More vapour equals more flavour particles per puff. Sub-ohm devices bring out the full complexity of e-liquids, making fruity, dessert, and menthol flavours taste richer and more satisfying. Many vapers describe the difference as astonishing.

Warm, Smooth Vapour

The warmer vapour from sub-ohm coils combined with high VG e-liquids creates an exceptionally smooth, comfortable inhale. Despite higher power, the throat hit is mellower than MTL vaping—perfect for extended sessions.

Full Customisation

Advanced sub-ohm kits offer extensive customisation—adjustable wattage, temperature control, airflow adjustment, and multiple power modes. Fine-tune every aspect of your vaping experience to match your preferences exactly.

Satisfying Direct Lung Hit

DTL vaping delivers vapour straight to your lungs for a deeply satisfying experience. The open airflow and high vapour production create a full, rewarding sensation that many vapers prefer over the restricted draw of MTL devices.

Lower Nicotine, Same Satisfaction

The increased vapour production means you can use lower nicotine strengths while still feeling satisfied. Many sub-ohm vapers successfully reduce from higher strengths to 3mg or 0mg, helping those looking to decrease nicotine intake.

Sub-Ohm vs MTL Vaping

Understanding the key differences

Feature	Sub-Ohm (DTL)	Mouth-to-Lung (MTL)
Coil Resistance	Below 1.0Ω (typically 0.15-0.6Ω)	Above 1.0Ω (typically 1.0-1.8Ω)
Wattage	40W-200W+	8W-25W
Cloud Production	Large, dense clouds	Smaller, discreet vapour
Inhale Style	Direct to lung (like breathing)	Mouth then lung (like smoking)
E-Liquid Type	High VG (70/30+), 0-6mg	50/50 or high PG, 6-20mg
Throat Hit	Smooth, mellow	Stronger, more pronounced
Best For	Cloud chasers, flavour enthusiasts	Ex-smokers, discreet vaping

Direct-to-Lung (DTL) Vaping Technique

Unlike MTL vaping which mimics smoking, DTL involves drawing vapour straight into your lungs like taking a deep breath. Take a smooth, slow drag directly into your lungs, then exhale. The open airflow on sub-ohm devices makes this natural and comfortable. Start with lower wattages and work up to find your sweet spot.

Key Features to Consider

Wattage Range

Higher wattage means more power for bigger clouds. Most sub-ohm kits range from 80W to 200W+. Choose based on your preference—80-100W is plenty for most vapers, while cloud chasers may want 150W+ for maximum output.

Battery Type

Built-in batteries offer convenience with no separate purchases needed. External batteries (18650/21700) provide longer life, swappable power, and often higher output. Dual-battery mods last longer between charges.

Coil Compatibility

Check available coil options and their resistances. Mesh coils are popular for even heating and excellent flavour. Wide coil compatibility means more options to fine-tune your vaping experience to your preferences.

Adjustable Airflow

Airflow control lets you customise your draw. More open airflow produces larger clouds, while slightly restricted airflow can enhance flavour concentration. Most sub-ohm tanks feature adjustable airflow rings.

Tank Capacity

UK TPD regulations limit tanks to 2ml, but many include bubble glass options for extended capacity. Sub-ohm vaping uses more e-liquid, so larger capacity reduces refill frequency.

Build Quality & Durability

Look for robust construction—especially if vaping on the go. IP-rated devices (like Geekvape's IP68) resist water, dust, and drops. Quality materials and solid build ensure longevity and reliability.

Tips for Sub-Ohm Vaping

Prime Your Coils Properly

Before first use, saturate your coil by adding e-liquid drops directly to the cotton and letting it soak for 5-10 minutes. Start at lower wattage and gradually increase. This prevents dry hits and extends coil life significantly.

Use Only High VG E-Liquid

Stick to 70/30 VG/PG or higher for sub-ohm devices. High PG or 50/50 liquids are too thin—they'll leak through coils, cause spitting, and produce harsh hits. High VG is essential for proper sub-ohm performance.

Keep Nicotine Strength Low

Never exceed 6mg nicotine in sub-ohm devices—3mg or 0mg is ideal. The massive vapour production delivers far more nicotine per puff than MTL devices. High strengths will cause uncomfortable head rushes and harsh throat hits.

Stay Hydrated

VG can be dehydrating, and sub-ohm vaping uses more e-liquid. Drink plenty of water to prevent dry mouth and throat irritation. Many vapers find keeping water nearby helps maintain comfort during longer sessions.

Match Wattage to Coil Range

Every coil has a recommended wattage range printed on it. Vaping below range gives weak flavour and vapour; above range burns the coil quickly. Start at the lower end and adjust to taste within the recommended range.

Maintain Your Device

Clean your tank regularly, especially when changing flavours. Replace coils when flavour diminishes or tastes burnt (typically every 1-3 weeks depending on usage). Keep battery contacts clean and check for e-liquid buildup.

Sub-Ohm Vape Kit FAQs

A sub-ohm vape kit is a high-performance device that uses coils with resistance below 1.0 ohm. This lower resistance allows higher wattage output, generating more heat and vapour. Sub-ohm kits are designed for direct-to-lung vaping, producing significantly larger clouds and enhanced flavour compared to standard vape devices. They typically operate between 40W and 200W+.

Sub-ohm vaping is generally better suited to intermediate and experienced vapers who understand battery safety, coil care, and e-liquid requirements. However, modern sub-ohm pod kits with smart modes and simpler operation make the transition easier. If you're new to vaping, starting with an MTL device and progressing to sub-ohm once comfortable is often recommended.

Use high VG e-liquids—70/30 VG/PG or higher is essential. The thicker consistency handles high temperatures well and produces dense clouds. Nicotine strength should be 6mg maximum, with 3mg or 0mg being most common. Never use nic salts or high-PG liquids in sub-ohm devices as they'll cause leaking, harsh hits, and potentially uncomfortable nicotine overdose.

Yes, sub-ohm devices use considerably more e-liquid than MTL setups because they vapourise liquid faster at higher wattages. A 10ml bottle might last just a day or two of heavy sub-ohm use. This is why shortfills (50ml-100ml bottles) are popular with sub-ohm vapers—they offer better value and reduce constant refill purchases.

DTL (direct-to-lung) means inhaling vapour straight into your lungs like taking a deep breath—this is how sub-ohm devices work. MTL (mouth-to-lung) means drawing vapour into your mouth first, then inhaling into your lungs—similar to smoking a cigarette. DTL produces larger clouds with a smoother hit, while MTL offers a tighter draw with stronger throat sensation.

Sub-ohm coils typically last 1-3 weeks depending on usage, e-liquid type, and wattage. Sweeter e-liquids can reduce coil life as sugars caramelise on the cotton. Signs of a worn coil include diminished flavour, muted taste, or burnt notes. Proper priming, staying within recommended wattage, and keeping the tank topped up all help extend coil lifespan.
