SUB-OHM KITS

What are Sub-Ohm kits?

Sub-ohm kits are the next step up from the humble pod kits and are ideal for those looking for a more powerful experience, capable of delivering intense flavour and voluminous vapour clouds over a standard pod kit or disposable vape. 

While quite often being user friendly, sub-ohm kits tend to be more suited to experienced vapers since they require some basic vape knowledge including: kit maintenance, battery safety (if using an external battery sub-ohm kit) and a general understanding of how vaping works.

Sub-ohm kits are mainly suited for RDL (Restricted Direct Lung) and DTL (Direct to Lung) vaping so if you are more of an MTL (Mouth to Lung) vaper, then you’ll probably want to stick to the likes of a pod kit. 

These kits provide an opportunity to explore lower resistances with sub-ohm coils that provide much higher and denser vapour production, and the mods that come with the kit can range in power outputs from 80W all the way up to 300W. This gives you the option to try a whole range of different coil options, allowing you to find one that fits your vaping preferences.

Ideal for vapers looking for a more intense and customisable experience, sub-ohm kits offer plenty of benefits, although it’s important to understand the basics of battery safety, device maintenance, and appropriate e-liquid use to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. 

Whether you're an experienced vaper who revels in high power and big clouds, or someone looking to explore the world of sub-ohm vaping for the first time, these kits provide a versatile and powerful option you won’t find anywhere else.

Built-in Battery Sub-Ohm Kits

Built-in battery sub-ohm kits combine the power or sub-ohm coils with the convenience of a built-in battery pod kit. However, unlike traditional pod kits, sub-ohm kits are famed for their wonderful flavour and vapour production that vapers around the world adore. 

A popular choice among experienced vapers seeking larger clouds, more intense flavours, and a warmer vaping experience, sub-ohm kits are designed to operate with coils that have a resistance of less than one Ohm (hence the term "sub-ohm"). Due to the increased size of a sub-ohm kit, the built-in batteries are much bigger than the ones found in a standard pod kit, meaning you can go longer without recharging and enjoy less interruptions during your vaping sessions.

Geekvape has an excellent option for this in the form of the Aegis Solo 3 (S100). Plenty of power, compatibility with the Z series coils and multiple power modes, it’s a great place to start with built-in battery sub-ohm kits.

External Battery Sub-Ohm Kits

External battery sub-ohm kits offer the ultimate in customisation and flexibility. They range from the more standard 18650 up to 20700 and 21700 batteries. Due to their high capacity and power output, 21700 batteries have become increasingly popular in recent years, and it's these features that make them a perfect match for sub-ohm vaping - many kits on the market even accept all three battery options, which provides ultimate flexibility.

Most modern sub-ohm kit mods support on-board charging, typically via a Type-C USB charging port, however it’s always recommended that you charge your batteries with a dedicated charger - you can find a selection of these on the Ecigone website. 

Remember - always purchase batteries and chargers from reputable sources such as Ecigone as sadly, there are many counterfeit or fake batteries and chargers on the market.

Vaporesso produces wonderful external battery sub-ohm kits, such as the Vaporesso GEN MAX, an ideal starter sub-ohm kit with plenty of intuitive features and a powerful chipset.

What E-Liquids Should I Use For My Sub-Ohm Kit?

As a rule of thumb, sub-ohm kits usually work best with a 70VG/30PG ratio e-liquid. These will provide excellent flavour and vapour production. However, if you’re using a low resistance sub-ohm coil such as 0.3 Ohm or below you could opt for an 80VG/20PG e-liquid which will increase the vapour production even further, and is more suited to higher wattages. At the end of the day, it all depends on what you’re looking to get out of your vaping set up.

Ecigone have an extensive range of premium e-liquids that are perfectly suited for sub-ohm vaping of all levels, but if you have any questions or you want some advice on the best e-liquids for you feel free to get in touch either via our live chat service, through the ‘Contact Us’ page, or give us a ring on: 01246 260010 where we will only be too happy to help you.

What Types of Coils Are Suitable For Sub-Ohm Kits?

There are plenty of coil options to consider when picking one for your sub-ohm kit, but realistically a lot of it comes down to personal preference. You can expect to see Ohm ratings from 0.8 Ohm down to 0.1 Ohm, but keep in mind that the lower the resistance or Ohm rating, the more power will be required to drive the coil properly.

So if your number one concern is battery life, then picking a high Ohm coil such as 0.8 Ohm would be a good choice.  But, if you’re after  massive vapour clouds, then a low resistance coil such as a 0.1 Ohm would be a great choice. If you want to strike a balance between the two, then something like a 0.4 Ohm or 0.5 Ohm coil would work perfectly.
