Sub Ohm Vape Kits

Sub ohm vape kits are a high-powered type of vape kit built for DTL vaping. Bigger clouds, stronger flavour, warmer vapour, and a completely different draw to any pod kit or MTL setup. Also called DTL vape kits, they run coils below 1.0 ohm at higher wattages and the difference in vapour and taste is massive.

We stock sub ohm kits from Geekvape, Vaporesso, Voopoo, SMOK and Innokin. Box mods with external batteries, compact sub ohm pod kits, and everything in between. Pair them with high VG shortfills at 0mg or 3mg for the best results.

What Is Sub Ohm Vaping?

Coils below 1.0 ohm, higher wattages, and a direct to lung draw. That's sub ohm vaping in a sentence. Lower resistance lets the coil fire harder, which is where the thicker vapour and stronger flavour come from. Most sub ohm vape kits sit between 80W and 230W, but 50W to 100W is where most people end up day to day.

The draw itself is completely different to MTL. You inhale straight into your lungs rather than pulling into your mouth first like you would with a cigarette or pod kit. Much more open and airy.

Sub Ohm Kits vs MTL Pod Kits

It comes down to what you want from your vape.

	Sub Ohm Kits	MTL Pod Kits
Draw style	Direct to lung, open and airy	Mouth to lung, tight like a cigarette
Vapour	Thick clouds, warm	Light vapour, cooler
Flavour	Intense, especially fruity and sweet	Good but less punchy
Nicotine	0mg to 3mg (freebase)	10mg to 20mg (nic salts)
E-liquid	High VG shortfills, 70/30 or 80/20	50/50 nic salts
Battery	Larger, external or built-in, 1500 to 5000mAh	Smaller, 400 to 1800mAh
Size	Bigger and heavier	Pocket-sized
E-liquid usage	Goes through liquid faster	Lasts longer per fill

If you want clouds, flavour and warmth, a sub ohm vape kit is the one. If you want something discreet for nic salts, browse our pod kits instead.

What E-Liquid for a Sub Ohm Vape Kit?

Sub ohm vape kits need high VG e-liquids. That means 70/30 or 80/20 VG/PG ratio shortfills, mainly in 0mg and 3mg nicotine.

70/30 VG/PG - most common for sub ohm vaping, good mix of flavour and cloud
80/20 VG/PG - thicker vapour, bigger clouds, slightly muted flavour
0mg to 3mg - where most sub ohm vapers sit

Nic salts don't belong in a sub ohm vape kit. They're made for low-wattage MTL vaping, and at sub ohm wattages you'd get way too much nicotine per puff. Stick with freebase nicotine shortfills or high VG e-liquids.

Sub Ohm Mods vs Sub Ohm Pod Kits

A sub ohm vape kit usually comes with a mod and a tank together in one box. But some kits sell the mod on its own. That's worth knowing if you already have a tank you like, or you want to pair it with an RTA or RDA for rebuildable coils.

With a full sub ohm mod you get the most control. Adjustable wattage, swappable external batteries, and usually more coil options. Geekvape Aegis and Voopoo Drag are two of the most popular. If you're buying your first sub ohm vape kit, get the full kit so you've got everything matched and ready to go.

Then you've got sub ohm pod kits, which are more compact. Still run sub ohm coils and hit harder than MTL pods, but the batteries are smaller and the tanks hold less. Good middle ground if you want DTL vapour without carrying a full box mod around. The Voopoo Argus range sits in this space.

Wattage and Coil Resistance Guide

Every sub ohm coil has a recommended wattage range printed on it. Stay within that range and your sub ohm vape kit will give you the best flavour and coil life.

Coil Resistance	Typical Wattage	Vapour	Best For
0.15 ohm	60W to 80W	Very thick, warm	Cloud chasers
0.2 ohm	50W to 70W	Thick and warm	Flavour and cloud
0.3 ohm	40W to 60W	Good balance	All-round sub ohm
0.4 to 0.5 ohm	25W to 45W	Medium	RDL crossover

Start low and work up. Running too high burns coils out faster and tastes harsh.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a vape kit that runs coils below 1.0 ohm at higher wattages. You also hear them called DTL vape kits. The result is thicker vapour, bigger clouds and stronger flavour compared to an MTL pod kit.

More vapour, warmer draw, stronger flavour, and you vape at much lower nicotine strengths (0mg to 3mg). The trade-off is bigger kits, more e-liquid usage, and you need to understand coils and batteries.

Geekvape Aegis and Voopoo Drag are the two most popular at Ecigone. Both take external 18650 batteries, have adjustable wattage, and run a good range of sub ohm coils.

High VG shortfills at 70/30 or 80/20 in 0mg or 3mg. Sub ohm e-liquid needs to be high VG so it wicks properly at higher wattages. Don't use nic salts.

Yeah, noticeably. Higher wattages burn through liquid faster than MTL kits. Most sub ohm vapers get through 5ml to 10ml a day depending on how much they vape.

The mod is just the battery box. A sub ohm vape kit comes with the mod and tank together. If you're starting out, buy the kit. If you've already got an RTA or RDA you like, grab the mod on its own.

Yeah, they're a solid middle ground. Smaller than a full box mod but they still run sub ohm coils. Voopoo Argus and Geekvape Aegis Boost both sit in this space and they sell well for a reason.
