About sub-ohm vape kits
Sub-ohm vape kits are advanced kits that offer vapers the ability to adjust and refine their experience. Their name comes from the fact that they are designed to be used with vape coils with a resistance of less than 1 ohm. These low resistance coils mean that sub-ohm vape kits can withstand higher power and wattage levels, which allows for the production of denser clouds and more intense flavours.
Sub-ohm vaping explained
Sub-ohm vaping is an advanced form of vaping that offers enthusiasts the ability to create a more intense and customisable experience. Through a range of features such as advanced temperature control, adjustable airflow, and a wide range of potential coil configurations, sub-ohm vape kits allow vapers to adjust their setup to match their personal preferences.
Sub-ohm vape kits usually offer a DTL (direct-to-lung) inhale and most sub-ohm vape kits work best with high VG vape juice with a low nicotine strength - we would recommend 6 mg/ml or lower. Sub-ohm vaping usually results in a larger cloud production and an advanced vape kit typically has quite wide airflow passages to allow air to circulate well throughout the coil.
Key features of sub-ohm and advanced vape kits
There are some advanced features that most sub-ohm vape kits have in common:
- High power output: advanced vape kits more often than not have high power outputs of 60 watts or more. This enables the device to produce vast amounts of heat quickly and therefore vaporise high VG e-liquids, which are thick in consistency, effectively to produce large amounts of dense vapour.
- Adjustable wattage & temperature control: sub-ohm vape kits may offer adjustable wattage so you can perfectly set your device to match your coil’s best range, increasing to produce more vapour quicker or decreasing to prolong coil life and reduce vapour production. Temperature control is a setting for advanced vape kits that allows vapers to set the exact temperature the coil reaches, for a more precise vaping experience.
- Operating modes: advance vape kits can offer several operation modes such as variable wattage, temperature control, ECO for improved battery life, SMART to detect the best wattage for the inserted coil or memory modes to allow vapers to set their favourite settings and recall later.
- Display screens: large display screens can often be found on sub-ohm vape kits to allow users to see their remaining battery life, operating mode, wattage or temperature settings and more. These screens tend to be larger than those found on intermediate and starter vape kits as they display a wider range of information.
- Battery options: some advanced vape devices offer built-in batteries that are rechargeable, whilst others are for use with external rechargeable batteries. External batteries allow vapers to switch batteries out anytime reducing the need to wait for your device to charge before vaping again.
- Cloud chasing: advanced vape kits and sub-ohm vape kits are most popular with vapers who want to produce large amounts of dense vapour clouds, known as ‘cloud chasers’. This is due to these kits producing high amounts of power, heating the sub-ohm coils to high temperatures, making them ideal for use high VG e-liquids.
- Sub-ohm vape coils: each advanced vape kit is compatible with sub-ohm vape coils, usually with a 0.4 ohm resistance or lower, providing the perfect setup for vaping through high VG e-liquids. Find out more about high VG e-liquids from the Evapo blog: understanding VG and PG in e-liquids.
Sub-ohm vape kits for intermediate vapers
If you are looking for your first sub-ohm kit as a way to transition into sub-ohm vaping, we would recommend having a look at devices like the Vaporesso Armour G pod vape kit or the VOOPOO Argus Pro 2 pod vape kit, as these are all sub-ohm devices that remain user friendly and are a good transition from a starter kit to a sub-ohm vape kit.
Advanced sub-ohm vape kits for experienced vapers
If you are looking for a more advanced sub-ohm kit, you might want to consider something like the VOOPOO Drag 5 kit or Geekvape Aegis Legend 3. These are more advanced sub-ohm vape kits that offer the user many variables, such as external batteries, large wattage outputs and other changeable options such as variable wattage or temperature control.

Sub-ohm vape kits FAQ
What are sub-ohm vape kits?
A sub-ohm vape kit, also often referred to as an advanced vape kit, is a device which can facilitate sub-ohm vaping and uses a sub-ohm coil (a coil with a resistance of less than 1 ohm). These devices are best used with high VG containing e-liquids for producing dense vapour clouds and are aimed at experienced vapers. They will often have a variety of features that allow the user to adjust the power output, airflow, and other settings to best suit their preferences.
How do I know if my vape kit is sub-ohm?
If your device offers a range of advanced features, such as bigger batteries, adjustable airflow, variable wattage settings, and temperature control, and is compatible with sub-ohm coils, then it would be classified as a sub-ohm vape kit. All of the devices in our sub-ohm vape kits category are sub-ohm and advanced vape kits. If you are looking for help finding the one that is right for you, we are happy to help either online or instore.
Are all sub-ohm vape kits for advanced vapers?
No, some intermediate devices are also a form of sub-ohm vape kit as they offer some of the sub-ohm capabilities found in advanced vape kits. Advanced vape kits usually come with a choice of coils which are exclusively sub-ohm, often below 0.4 ohm.
What wattage should I use for a sub-ohm coil?
Each coil will have a recommended wattage range on the box and usually also printed on the side of the coil itself. This is the range at which the coil will perform at its best & we highly recommend sticking to this range to prolong your coil’s life. Running it at a higher wattage than suggested will likely cause it to burn out faster or to even burn out straight away. Running it at too low of a wattage can cause leaking.
Are all sub-ohm vape kits the same?
No, sub-ohm vape kits can vary widely because they are designed to offer the user a larger scope for adjustability. They can have different maximum power outputs, different battery types, and may use a tank or pod depending on the device.
Who are sub-ohm vape kits for?
Sub-ohm vape kits are suitable for anyone who has comfortably made the switch to vaping and now wants to move on to the next stage. It is important to have a good knowledge of how vape kits work, as sub-ohm vape kits have more settings and require more maintenance than starter vape kits. It is also important to bear in mind that advanced vape kits are designed to offer a DTL vaping style, not the MTL vaping style offered by most starter kits.
They are advanced vape kits offering more control over the vaping experience, with a wider range of coils and adjustable power, airflow and temperature settings. Enthusiasts who want to be able to tailor their experience to enjoy denser vapour clouds or more intense flavours may enjoy a sub-ohm vape kit.
What type of e-liquid should I use for sub-ohm vape kits?
If you are using a sub-ohm vape kit then a high VG e-liquid is the best choice. This is due to the higher temperatures that sub-ohm coils are able to produce. High VG liquids are thicker and better able to withstand high temperatures, which means that they will not vaporise too quickly or burn.
What nicotine strength is suitable for sub-ohm vape kits?
When it comes to sub-ohm vape kits, we recommend a nicotine strength of 6 mg/ml or lower. This is because advanced vape kits like these are designed to heat e-liquids to much higher levels than starter kits. Because sub-ohm vapes are designed for DTL vaping, higher nicotine strengths can feel uncomfortable to use.
Do advanced vape kits have built-in batteries?
Some advanced vape kits have built-in batteries, whereas others utilise external batteries that can be removed to charge, allowing the user to keep multiple sets of batteries.
Whether you opt for a vape kit with a built-in battery or external batteries depends on your personal preferences, if you are often out and about or do not always have access to a place to charge your device throughout the day an external battery may be a great option, as you can take a spare set of batteries with you to swap out whenever needed.
Can new vapers use advanced vape kits?
We do not recommend new vapers use an advanced vape kit, as these devices are not specifically designed with new vapers in mind. Starter kits are designed to replicate the feel of smoking a cigarette, making it easier to make the transition from smoking to vaping, and they also facilitate the use of 50/50 e-liquids in any nicotine strength, allowing you to select the strength that best matches your previous smoking habits.
Can I customise my experience with an advanced vape kit?
Yes, one of the biggest bonuses of using an advanced vape kit is the fact that you will be able to customise your vaping experience. Most advanced vape kits offer a wide range of adjustable settings, including adjustable airflow, variable wattage, and different vaping settings.
Can I use nicotine free e-liquids with an advanced vape kit?
Yes, you can use nicotine-free e-liquids with an advanced vape. These devices are designed to be used with high VG liquids and are best used with low nicotine strengths, including nicotine-free options. With advanced vape kits there is more of a focus on flavour and vapour production, creating satisfying experiences for those who want to vape without intaking nicotine.
