It seems that in discussion of tanks, only sub-ohm tanks are considered. I think I'm starting to accept that my love of vaping declined severely once I transferred to sub-ohm. It's just too harsh, too hot, kills the flavour and eats through juice. That's my personal view of it, but is it the standard or do I have other good options?
Is sub-ohm vaping the new norm?

No. Hobbyists tend to post the most, so most things on here are from them. People that just want to get away from smoking have found satisfactory equipment and go about that business and don't want the hobby side of it.
That being said, the are a lot in the middle, too.

@alex8039 I'd suggest sticking with what works for you. You're not alone in the fact that sub-ohm'g just doesn't do it for you.
I actually feel sorry for new vapers cause they're no longer being presented with the basics- everything is about subbing which does them a disservice.

Yep. I use the Subtanks with 1.5 or 1.2 ohm coils and turn down the airflow and use a more restrictive drip tip. Works perfect for me.
I've used the .5 ohm coils in the past and it chewed through the juice like crazy for very minimal gain IMO.
I disagree with the other posters....I think subohm IS becoming the new 'norm'. All it takes is walking into any brick and mortar shop to see what is being pushed. The reason? Sub ohming makes more money. They keep pushing new RDAs , higher wattage devices, lower ohm coils, multiple coils per "coil" , etc, etc. It is all about money.
It is sad, because after 3 years of vaping, I'm not convinced the best vape comes from sub-ohming. Sub ohm was necessary back when we vapes on mechs....because you couldn't regulate the wattage/voltage. The trend SHOULD have died once we all switched over to regulated box mods, but it just got worse.
I think vaping around 1ohm is perfect, give or take [0.5ohm to 1.2ohm ish]. I think the best vape will come from improvements to air flow and coil design, not by increasing wattage or lowing ohms.

You're right but people on forums tend to forget not every vaper frequents a forum so they'd have no clue about any of the stuff (coils, tanks, etc etc) we talk about here.
When I bought my 1st setup, it was me finding a B&M & going to them. Their knowledge of vaping, was horrible & the products they sold were triple the prices of what could be gotten online but back then I didn't know anything about buying vape gear online.

Totally depends... I think stainless steel delivers a lovely clean flavor ...
It's pretty hard to build a SS coil above 1 ohm and make it fit an atty
The whole 6-8 coil pre-made coil head craze is also beyond me.
Tried a T8 from smok and wasn't impressed , not even by the size of the cloud @ too many watts.
None the less, my single coil taifun also does not impress the local youth whatsoever...
I recon their taste buds and brains are still lacking some development.

I don't really Know if Sub-Ohm vaping is the New Norm? Or really Care to be Honest. I Build and set Wattages to what I Like with a given Tank.
If someone likes the Hit they get from a Low Ohm Build, that's Great. Or if they like Higher Ohms, that's Great Also.
I say Run the way you Want. Even if that is Not the Direction that most of the Herd is Running.

I'm still pretty new to vaping, I'm about 5 months in. Minus my first two weeks, sub ohm vaping is all I've ever done. When first buying equipment, I wasn't really making a conscious choice thinking "ok, should I get gear that is below one ohm or above one ohm?". I just bought what was relatively new gear from online. It just happened that this ended up being a sub ohm tank with a .5 coil. So from my perspective, it does honestly seem like the norm, yes.
Although my set up for my first two weeks was from a local B&M, I walked in there not knowing a thing. I asked for a starter kit, and they sold me an Evod variable voltage clone. For 40 bucks mind you, but I didn't know any better. That was definitely not sub ohm, resistance was like 2.5 I believe. It was an enjoyable vape, but I knew there was more out there, and I wanted to see what it was all about. And I'm glad I did venture out rather quickly. Turns out that I much prefer the vape from my zephyrus v2, built around .35 ohms at 42 watts, than I do say my sisters endura t18 with 1.5 ohms at 15 watts. Both are nice, that's just what I personally prefer. Everyone is different though and that's a-okay with me.

While Sub-ohm is popular, I have to believe it is a Small part of the overa all Vaping community. Remember, we are talking Millions of Vapers at all levels.
Op, you are in a Forum and even if you seek out other Forums, Facebook Cliques, Youtube Tank Videos - You are still dealing with a tiny portion of the Vaping community.
A portion however, which has access to everything going on in the Vaping industry and all the latest advancements.
Don't let things intimidate you. Simply discuss that which is of interest and avoid that which is not.
When seeking help, be specific in needs and politely correct or ignore inaccurate responders.
Tons of Tanks for light Vaping, just don't expect the mainstream Large coil head tanks to work.
Look at tanks like the Mega-One, Kanger Subtank Mini with 1.5ohm heads and others which offer Higher Resistance - Restricted air flow Heads.
A Build-able tank which works great from light lung to Tootling is the KS Tank.
Odd design that looks Great on some Box mods and has full Air flow adjustment, Liquid flow adjustment and a simple single coil chamber designed like a Dripper.

The way the industry is evolving I don't think there really is a norm anymore. I guess vapers will just have to find what suits them and what keeps them away from smoking.
I don't know if it's the new norm but it seems like it. I don't care for it myself. I build everything 1.25 or above. Every time I've subohmed, it's been to hot. I do think it's a good thing that devices are capable of subohm if that's where someone ends up wanting to go, they don't have to buy new equipment but I'd always recommend someone start high and then go lower if they need it.
I kind of think it is the new norm, but only because it seems everywhere I go on ECF a high number of folks are doing it. Not to mention all the new gear, i.e the MVP pro kit, comes with sub tanks. Needless to say that there is still a huge number of vapers, like my fiance and I, who tootle puff you could say. We use the MVP 2.0 and 20watt with Aspire ET-S tank at 1.6, 1.8 and 2.1 Ohm heads(coils). That's our sweet spot.
Whatever helps you stay off the stinkies and satisfies your needs, I say go for it.

1 ohm plus is still viable... I am enjoying my 1.5ohms at 30watts wih my aromamizer... The clouds and flavor are surprisingly the same as my dual build @.45 ohms
You have many other options today, there is really no standard. Have a look at the Tootle Puffer Gear thread and have at it
The whole sub-ohm 'thing' has changed lately too. A couple/few years back sub-ohm was all about mech mods and getting more than around 15-20 watts into your vape. That required low ohms because mech mods use resistance to set the watts, the lower the resistance the the more watts you get. That's not the case anymore but that concept is still rampant in the vape world and vape company marketing is not doing anything to 'rock the boat'.
Hope that thread helps. Vape on
Low ohm coils are less efficient. More watts are needed to turn electricity into heat. This puts more stress on the battery and runs it down faster. Using very low ohm coils at very high watts shows you are daring because those are the setups most likely to vent a battery. Because those setups wear out batteries faster buy off brand or even fake batteries to increase the chances of a probelm. If you want to prove how tough you are make thsee mistakes with a mech mod and get yourself on the 6 oclock news and then get yourself a tort lawyer and try to find somebody to sue for your wreckless behavior.
It's no accident that most of the accidents involve young men.

I see 2 or 3 vapers a day with sub ohm tanks on average all across the country.
Other vapers?
Maybe a couple a month.
This past month, 1 was a cigalike (very rare) and 1 was an ego and protank setup. That was my total of non-sub-ohm-tank-sightings in the past 30 to 40 days.

I did sub-ohm with the 0.2 OHM Kanger coil that came with my Toptank mini. Used my regular 12MG juice and got a crazy nic buzz so switched down to the 3MG. Took the coil out and switched back to 1.5OHM within 1 day, just didn't like sub-ohm at all. Too hot and harsh and a waste of juice.
I see kids walking around New York blowing huge clouds, I guess it's the norm for them

I see non-subohm vapers using subohm tanks. Sometimes I ask and they are using high ohm coils and mostly-closed airflow. Some have no idea, it is just what the B&M sold them.
The higher ohm tanks/clearomizers are not produced as much anymore as the industry changes towards the hobbyist need. But, the older ones are still around and often on sale or at lower prices.
For me, I look the middle ground of 1ish ohms. A little of both worlds and not to hot.
