Everything You Need to Know About Ohm and Vaping

Ohms is a unit for measuring electrical resistance. The resistance of your coil determines its wattage range. Coils that have a high resistance level like 2.5 ohms have a lower max wattage range like sub ohm coils resistance coils like 0.3 ohms. This is a basic introduction to the difference between ohm levels and their advantages and disadvantages.

Features of a Low Ohm Coil

• Warmer vapor

• More vapor (more heat by means more vapor)

• You will use up more e-liquid

• Low ohm coils can bring about battery failures.

Features of a High Ohm Coil

• Longer battery life

• You will use less e-liquid

• Provides cooler vapor

• Produces less vapor due to less heat reaching the coils.

Most vaping devices designed for newbies come with coils that have a high resistance level because they are easier to use. Sub-ohm vaping tanks are mostly reserved for experts. The Atomic Dog Vapor online store is a great place to buy coils and other vaping products.

Other FAQ Regarding Ohm Levels

What Levels are High/Standard or Low Ohm Exactly?

For newbies, usually, a low ohm coil would come in at between and 1.5 and 1.8 ohms. A standard coil would be around 2.4ohm and 2.8ohm and the higher ohm begins around 3.0 ohm. There are marginally higher or lower levels for coils. There are also sub ohm coils which have a resistance below 1 ohm like the  Smok V8 Baby Mesh Coils.

What Are The Downsides of Low Ohm Coils?

There are disadvantages and benefits to using low ohm coils. You will get more vapor which is great if that is your thing. However, the higher heating levels can shorten the shelf life of your coils, use up your e-liquids quicker, and drain your battery life. However, new vaping devices are being released every day that are built to minimize the effects of using a low ohm coil. You will find many sub ohm devices on the market with excellent battery life, low e-juice consumption, and coils that last long.

Do Different Ohms Have an Effect On Flavor?

While low ohms are known to deliver bigger clouds of vapor, this doesn’t really translate to flavor. The richness of the flavor you will get from a vape juice depends on the quality of the e-liquid and other factors. This doesn’t mean that that heating an e-liquid at different temperatures won’t affect the flavor.

What about Very High and Very Low Ohms?

It is highly recommended that you do not play around with extreme ohm settings. People who have been vaping for some time choose sub ohm vaping. A lot of safety measures and precautions must be taken when vaping at the resistance level. One of the most important things is to vape with a high-quality device and read the manual to ensure you are using it properly.

You will find a lot of information on this subject at online vape blogs and forums as well as YouTube videos. Always the directions given by the manufacturers to maximize the efficiency of your device and guarantee your safety.
