Is sub-ohm vaping the new norm?

[coolerat]

I see alot of vapers and work with alot of equipment.

I haven't seen a non "subohm" set up in a very long time. However I know for a fact many are being used over 1 ohm so not subohm.

I also see alot of people using say a Melo 2 which is pushed heavily by a local shop, with a .5 coil which is subohm but they use them at like 20w which would make it a tootle puffer.

If I had to guess I'd say tootle puffer class gear worked for a certian class of smoker and they used it to quit a couple years ago and now they have moved past vaping and gone completely clean. Or back to smoking or whatever. Now vape gear has gotten good enough that its working for the heavy long term smokers and we are driving the bus.

Honestly these days whether you smoked Virginia Slims and use a Provari or Rez cigs and use a RX200 I think there is vape gear to help every smoker quit so these days smoking is a choice.

Personally the reason I think sub-ohming seems to be so prevalent is it
is the most visible form of vaping. You can see some one holding their mod
from a block away. You know when someone is using there mod from even
farther away. You know when someone is about to use their mod by their
body language.(the pose) I am sort of reminded of a similar cultural
phenomenon I observed as a younger lad. We called them motor heads.
Have you seen my new.....

You want to see it burn some rubber?

When I joined here sub ohm was the devil. I was at 2 ohms 8 watts until I got a device with more watts and airflow and higher capacity batteries. I still don't like the .5 setups but between 1 and 2 is good. I no longer need the tight draw like a cig but too much flow doesn't do me well.

I love my sub ohm. I'm vaping on an original aspire atlantis on a 0.5 ohm coil at about 35 watts . Love the direct lung hit . Been sub ohming since August last year and find it a satisfying vape . Each to their own I suppose. Do what works for you.
Vape on and live long.

It is for me, but then again I vape a mech and it delivers the vape I enjoy that keeps me from smoking. All this talk about subohming to be or look cool is ridiculous to me. Lets face it if you think what you're vaping is going to somehow make you cooler you're losing that battle already.

I subohm, but I wouldn't call it the "new normal." Plenty of people like to vape in the lower powered range. Probably well over half of us, in my opinion.

My first couple of weeks were spent above 1.0, but subbing has been my "normal" ever since.

Yup , that is very true .

Would anyone out there suggest a subohm tank to someone who calls them 'thingys'? See it often on this board..

 

[PaulBHC]

I have 3 on the Kanger Subox Mini kits. Bottom fill, lots of coil options, comes with RBA unit. The new top fill kit is probably replacing it.

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?

I agree with you that most things are geared towards subohming. That is why I still prefer to recommend a subtank, since they offer a .5 AND a 1.2 ohm coil. I went to the local B&M, and they are still selling the Kanger Subtank at a premium price even though newer Kanger tanks, and other tanks came out on the market. They say the Subtank is still one of their best sellers and I believe it's the higher ohm option and the fact it can go regular ohm is the reason. As I am typing this, I am vaping a .66 ohm Cuboid/Goblin mini at 20 watts.

However, I have seen people who want to get into vaping mainly because they see the huge clouds. I know 1-2 non smokers who want to start vaping because of the clouds. I think that's where the big sellers are nowadays. I still recommend Nautilus tanks for people quitting smoking, and I still recommend 1.2+ ohms as well.

I wouldn't recommend one. But like I mentioned earlier, most of those people who want to start vaping "thingies" are more interested in the looks, not the taste.

That is exactly why we never saw many vapers in the early years. Vapers that aren't interested in calling attention to themselves are happily vaping all over the place, producing more vapor than they did smoke but not enough to be noticed.

I used to drive a wicked big block Dodge four door that would eat up most anything on the road, but you wouldn't notice me at a traffic light unless I wanted you to when the light changed.

I quit smoking with Evods and Ego twists. Yeah, I've chosen to wander a far ways up the path from there, but how you define contentment and satisfaction from vaping shouldn't be measured by how I chose to define it.

Be yourself, Vape happy!

hype.

ohms is a property of the coil not the tank.

You should experiment with differnt coils to find what suits you.

It is boggling my mind a bit, with these comments about sub-ohm vapes being so hot. When I run an Atlantis .5ohm on a IPV mini at 20 watts, the vape seems cooler to me than the surrounding air.

Except that the tank has to be designed to allow enough airflow for a proper vape.

That's wattage, not ohms.

And a tank system that allows for a wider range of ways to vape is merely a much better tank than one that only operates in a smaller limited range.

Yeah. Seems like more than a few in here have tried to sub ohm on equipment not dialed in to it. I used to do the same & never understood it either.
