Question on sub ohm

[angie124]

I have always used a mini nautilus so don't know to much about sub ohm. Was thinking of getting a kanger subox. Everywhere I've read people seem to use high vg when sub ohming. I have always preferred higher pg.
how does the subox perform with high pg? Would it be to thin and leak.
I believe pg carries much more flavour than vg ?? I know vg with sub ohm would give a good throat hit like pg but would you lose flavour ? Anyone help

You lose flavor and throat hit with sub ohm tanks. They are meant for high juice consumption and clouds. I'd stick to the Nautilus if you want throat hit and flavor...

 

[angie124]

Really. Ok. Thanks for the advice. Was going to buy a subox today.

 

[stevegmu]

I'm sure you will be told it is the greatest thing ever, but if you want throat hit, flavor and vape high PG, like I do, it just isn't the right tank. I tried one a couple days ago at work. Flavor was muted, draw airy, and not in a good way and no throat hit...

There is no rule stating you need to use one or the other. The sub ohmers are generally looking for clouds which vg provides. But you could fill your tank with pg just the same.

I sub ohm with 50/50. The high vg is liked for clouds, but yes, PG carries more flavor. I get decent clouds and flavor. I sub ohm on rta's and rdas, typically between .9 and .24, because I find the sub ohm vaping more satisfying than tootling. No leaking off my stm with 50/50. Wicks ok with high vg as well. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the kanger, but it's a decent starter in sub ohm dabbling!

The Kbox mini is a good power supply.

I Vape 60/40 16mg/mL most of the time and have a Subtank. I have no problem with leaking even with 70/30 mix. It is a noisy tank and the airflow is not very good for flavor.

I don't use it very often because I prefer Kayfuns.

Sub ohm tanks are generally designed to produce more vapor, if you vape high pg with big vapor you get a big throat hit. High VG give you less of a throat hit. I like 75/25 or 70-30 vg/pg I find it a good medium for me.

I like a 80/20 or 70/30 VG/PG vape myself. I like a airy intake as thats how the flavor hits me. Low airflow with any VG/PG gives me almost zero flavor.

We are all differrent. Ya gotta find what works for you. Everyone that tells you the best way for flavor is wrong cause they ain't you.

If what you have satisfies you, then keep going. If you feel like its lacking, just not doing it , like when you moved from a starter kit to a nautilus. Then I'd suggest looking into sub ohms but I would suggest a dripper to start with. High vg on a dripper compensates for the lower pg. I would just start reading up on ohms, batteries, mods and such before you buy anything.

+1 ... you're not going to beat a dripper for a satisfying vape in my opinion. If you're not comfortable building coils then there are a number (too many) choices in tanks that have passed the current Kanger. I did love mine however and still use it on occasion.

I don't understand the never ending quest for more and more. Do many vapers develop a tolerance over time?

Your body will absolutely build a tolerance to nicotine over time, no matter how you consume it be it by smoking, chewing, vaping, ect.

I smoked over 20 years and didn't smoke more and more as time went by. Most sub ohm vapers also use very low nic levels...

It's also a different type of addiction... questing for the perfect vape

I just don't understand how more and more vapor is a better vape. I've tried it. I get more throat hit and flavor from a carto tank than a subtank. Must be something about blowing clouds...

 

[studip]

I actually like variety. I love my Kayfun (clone) and use it quite a lot. Say 30%. In general though I'm reaching for a dripper. All on tubes.. because for one, that is a much smaller profile than any tank on a regulated mod pretty much no matter how mini they make it. I don't really care about clouds so much... don't don't care either... but for me it's about flavor. Can't beat a dripper IMHO

 

[stevegmu]

I have genesis style auto drippers I run with 1.8 ohm coils at around 4 volts. More flavor than I have gotten from any other set up I have tried. Can't be about flavor...

Or... new vapers don't know about that, because it's not blasted at them from every reviewer.

This is probably the case, along with the never ending quest for more clouds. If cloud chasers would just work on their cardio they could blow clouds with conservative setups...
