Do the E-Liquids marketid as "Sub-Ohm" actually make a noticable difference?

No, just more VG. They can say cloud or competition and sell bathtub brew for premium prices and people will buy it...
I agree. High VG and muted flavor for cloud chasing. I've tried a few that would be fantastic if they would use more PG and ad a little more flavor for us mouth to lungers. It's getting harder and harder to find decent new juices for old school vaping.

PG costs more than VG and nicotine costs more than PG and VG. There's also the flavorings. They figured out they can sell low nic, low flavor and high VG e-liquid for the same price as 50/50 standard non sub ohm e-liquid and make a lot more profit...

Yep. I believe you nailed it. I'd also ad that sub ohm setups use a LOT more juice and of course that's what vendors want as well.

You also have the equipment and batteries which don't last a long time. Sub ohming has been great for profits...

And big clouds attract young people = new customers, who possibly would not use ecigs out of health considerations ... and this is good for producers and vendors alike.

Many who sub-ohm do it because they enjoy the large "clouds." What better way to market to a sub-ohm vaper than to add more VG to the mix, and label it as a "sub-ohm" juice.

And increase the price, like saying it is sub ohm professional competition 5 star magic joose...

It's max VG, no where does it mention competition use, for one, serious comp juice would be un flavored and 0 nic, it doesn't cost anymore to buy PG than VG, it is simply a niche product directed toward PG intolerant vapors or ones who enjoy a more dense / less throat hit vape and actually it takes more flavor concentrate to make max VG than 50/50 in the same recipe.It is geared toward the sub ohm realm and my feeling is you wouldn't want any more than 6 mg/ml nic and if your not influenced by that or your devises won't support them then max VG probably isn't for you ............

That's too bad. Can't win a competition without the special cloud juice. I know I'm going to stock up. I'm getting ready for the world championship this December in Prague...
