The term 'sub-ohm' describes the resistance of the heating element (the coil) as being less than one ohm. Sub-ohm coils tend to heat up more quickly and produce more heat overall than coils with more resistance, and they will generally require more power from the battery source and better airflow and juice flow from the tank to prevent overheating and burning the liquid. Tanks designed for sub-ohming take this into account.
Sub-ohm setups will usually produce bigger clouds of vapor, and sometimes more or better flavor depending on the juice, but the drawback is they use battery power more quickly and they use a lot more juice than setups in the 1 to 2 ohm range.
Hope this helps.

Yes,it helps a lot!Very clear answer!I have one more question for you:you said something about the liquid,wich is the best liquid for sub ohm and 1.8ohm or 2.0 ohm?I mean mg nicotine and VG or not.(with fruits)

I'm glad I could help on your previous question but I won't be much help with this one because I don't use sub-ohm coils. Here's my take on it though.
Basically all juices will work with coils in the 1 ohm to 2 ohm range as far as pg/vg ratios and nic content, but my understanding is that more vg is better for bigger clouds of vapor when sub-ohm coils are used. That's just what I've heard, so I don't really know.
As far nicotine content, sub-ohm vaping uses a lot more juice so it seems reasonable that if someone was going to vape 20 or 30 ml of juice in a day that they might want less nic in that juice compared to someone vaping 2 or 3 ml per day, unless they want to feel like they're walking around with bees inside their head. :D

In the end it's about what works for you, but I would definitely say that sub-ohm vaping is not a good place to start for most people simply because it's a lot more complicated.
Maybe someone else will chime in with more info.
Best of luck, and keep us posted
