Just from my own personal perspective, I liken going to a sub ohm vape to when I started vaping. Not being sure if I got it set right or was doing it right. Staying with one thing thinking I would get used to it. Getting comfortable with it but wondering if there was something I could do or change to make it better.
I bought my first sub ohm set up and at first I felt the same as the op. I couldn't imagine cranking the watts up or opening the air hole all the way or even mostly open. But playing with it, giving different settings some time rather then changing after a couple hits, I started to hone into the settings for me. And now I am enjoying it so much, I am adding to the collection of sub ohm tanks so I can eventually eliminate my regular tanks. Not to mention I had some juices that I tried but just didn't care for that are quite nice on this set-up.
So, no, these are probably not for everyone. But I wonder how many give it a try and give it up before giving it a full "test drive".
