Who needs sub ohm?

[jmw2309]

I have just binned off the .7 ohm build in my squape and replaced it with a 1.5ohm. .35 kanthal 2.5mm with the last of my KGD and wow! The best vape I have had since starting this new hobby.

I will keep the low ohm stuff for the dripper but with the way this is performing with the freshly mixed lemon sherbert I won't be using the dripper! Sitting happily at 13w without the squape becoming hotter than the earths core and without such insane juice consumption. Happy days!

jmw2309 - sorry to be a potential wet blanket, but I trust that your Lemon Sherbet isn't made from CCW concentrate, as that is deemed as unsuitable for vaping due to oils in the flavouring.
On your original post, I have never vaped below 1.2ohm. Perhaps I should at some point to see what all the fuss is about, but 1.2ohm is good for me, and as a bonus my Vamo will occasionally fire the coils as I test them for ohms!

[jmw2309]

Nope not CCW. It's a pure perfection concentrate that is ok for vaping.

Sub ohm is cool for utilising high power devices which was my aim. The clouds are good if that's for you but I don't find much difference in flavour. The lowest I tried was .3 ohm in my dripper but it was a bit too intense and only good for the occasional toot and drank the juice.

I might go down to 1.2ish on next build but am very happy with this so far.

For some reason my vamo still fired 1ohm coils although I never used it for that tbh.

Some attys work better at higher resistance! There's a time and a place for everything IMO.

Drippers are useless with anything over 10pm, you just don't get the flavour or vapor production on them, where as a tank, kayfun, squape etc I prefer around .8-.9
But the orchid I run around .5/.6 dual coil and that's the sweet spot for me.

Different strokes for different folks and all that jazz

Not had a Squape, but in general it's wicking and air-flow (not just volume of air, but how it flows round the coil) that limit the max power and the flavour, also some juices don't do well a higher temps. There are other important factors like type of wick and coil, but wicking and air flow are the most important IMO. Maybe it is a Squape V1 I have read the air flow is on the tight side that is your limit.

[jmw2309]

Yes it is a squape v1. A little tight on the draw but I like it. It works well at sub ohm but does like to get quite hot and uses an awful lot of juice!

I'm not real sure of the benefits of sub ohming but there must be something, I'd love it explaining, not all the ins and outs of sub ohming but why it appeals so much to alot of people.

I see vaping not just as a cessation method now but as an interest/hobby aswell. I could have managed with a spinner and an evod and mail order juices if I'm absolutely honest but I've got a couple of VW devices and a nemesis, a couple of drippers, quite a few clearo/tanks, various concentrates for mixing and plenty of wire and wicking materials for building. It seems the more involved you are with the interest/hobby side of it the more likely you are to look into the various methods of vaping, sub ohming being one of them. It doesn't appeal to me though (for now) I'm quite happy with a kayfun built at 1.6ohms full of home made red astaire tooting at around 8/9 watts.

I keep looking at box mods now though, and the way they're being produced if I decided to try one it will probably be 30/50w+ capable of firing 0.2ohm. What's the next step after that ? probably going low ohms.

I am using an ipv2 for everything now which fires to 0.2ohm although I have not tried it quite that low. It has not put a foot wrong so far and my Hana dna30 does not even get a look in now.

My aerotanks are 1.2ohm and vape lovely but I am using the squape for experimenting with. (My twisted coil attempt earlier was shite)

I'm with you on the hobby side of vaping... as I got more and more involved I was searching for a better and better vape. And for me that's sub-ohms.
I just prefer the warm, dense, vapour you get off a low ohm build. Once I had experienced it I knew it was what I had been searching for since beginning my vape journey.
That's why I rarely use a tank nowadays. Drippers and mechs for me 99% of the time.
Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a higher ohm build on a regulated box, but it's a much cooler vape.

If you want to try I have some .8 dual protank Coils you can have ! Not for me ... Far too warm and not enjoyable ! Il stick with my 1.8

For me, I vape sub ohm because I enjoy the warmth of the vapour and the flavour from the thick dense clouds.
Its also just kinda progressed from when I started with an ego and cargo.
Its much more of a hobby than something to stop me smoking.

When vaping subohm I will often use 0mg, maybe 3mg now and again for that real "nic kick" you get.
I suppose as it's became more and more of a hobby it's just kinds progression and tinkering with different builds.
I use to build daily, constantly watching youtube videos and following builders on FB and IG for inspiration and pushing the boundaries.

For some people they are happy with an MVP and a protank, others will want to tinker, build and try new things all the time... Im one of those who when I have a hobby it pretty much takes over my life.. And it's the same with vaping

Well that's my little ramble of why I like to vape "sub ohm"

I feel like I'm at some kinda addict recovery meeting...

"hi I'm Marcus and I've been subohming about 22months daily, I've tried getting clean but just can't break the habit" hehe

Warm thick vape is obviously right.

Just to add, if you're using mechs, the way you control watts (power) is lowering your resistance.

Hence, if you want high watts on a mech...

you sub-ohm

Thank you jaysey, that's a very kind offer, but I have a dripper on the way from China which will take dual coils and I might just bite bullet, get a high discharge battery and then give it a go. I have loads of spare Protank heads here which I could recoil too, might just give it a go over the weekend to see what all the fuss is about Thanks again though
