Sub-Ohm Vaping the Electronic Cigarette

The electronic cigarette is a device powered by a battery, which simulates the action or sensation of smoking a conventional cigarette but without the combustion or burning of tobacco. This action of inhaling the vapor (of the liquid) produced by the electronic device is known as Vaping or Vaping.

To activate the e-Cig (as it is also known) it is necessary to press a button, this in turn activates the battery and it heats the resistance, atomizer or coil that is inside a container or cylindrical container (which is filled with liquid).

The resistance to heating causes the liquid impregnated in the cotton that surrounds it to heat up and transform into steam. The resistance is nothing more than a spiral-shaped wire which is surrounded by organic cotton, and this cotton is moistened with the liquid to vape also known as e-liquid.

Types of Resistors

There are several types of resistors ranging from 0.1 Ω (Ohms) to 5 Ω (Ohms).

For vapers, any resistance less than 1 Ω is considered to be vaping in what is known as Sub-Ohm vaping. Any coil less than 1 Ω will produce:

• Greater amount of steam
• Best throat hit
• A more intense flavor
• And depending on the taste it also produces a hotter vapor, which is what simulates the heat produced by conventional cigarettes.
• The most popular resistors for Sub-ohm vaping range from 0.15Ω to 0.5Ω.

For Those Who Are New to the Electronic Cigarette

If you want to quit smoking to switch to vaping, it is recommended that you do not start with very low resistances. It is preferable that you start with a 1.0Ω or 1.5Ω resistor. These will give you a similar feeling to that of tobacco.

The degree of nicotine you choose for your liquid or essence will depend on how many cigarettes you previously smoked. If you smoked a pack a day, it is advisable to start with an e-liquid of 12mg or 18mg of nicotine concentration.

Then it can be changed to lower resistances that will give it greater flavor and vapor production.

But you must take into account that if you change to resistances less than 1Ω you should lower your nicotine level to at least 6mg of concentration in the liquid, since these Sub-ohm vaping devices are very powerful and if you use a higher degree of nicotine you can experience dizziness or a little headache.

It is nothing serious but it is preferable to avoid high concentrations of nicotine. And the purpose of vaping is to gradually lower the level of nicotine to lose the addiction to this substance.

Electronic Cigarette Types (Mods)

There are several types of electronic cigarettes, these are:

• Cigar or Pen Style (Photo at the top of this page)
• Mods or Box (they are rectangular or square and of various sizes)
• Mechanical Mods (Not recommended)

They are called Mods because over the years the industry has been “Modifying” them from the Pen type to the current mods.

This equipment already come with many safeguards such as internal protection microchips that regulate the electrical current from the battery to the atomizer. They allow manual variations of the power of the output watts and some of the voltage.

The Mechanical Mods

They do not have power regulator chips and the current passes directly from the battery to the atomizer without any type of regulation or protection.

The Batteries

Electronic cigarette batteries are of various kinds and their capacity is normally measured in milli-amp hours (mAh). The higher the mAh of the battery, the greater the capacity and the greater the durability.

Some e-cigarettes come with batteries built into the device and others come with batteries that can be replaced to be charged separately. (Like the ones in the attached photo). The most common are lithium.

Special Care with Batteries

Great care must be taken with electronic cigarette batteries, but only with those that are removed from the device to recharge them (Photo). They should not be carried in your pocket, purse, or anywhere they may come into contact with other metal (such as keys) as friction with other metal can cause the keys to explode.

For the batteries that are incorporated into the equipment (which are not removable) they do not have any problem or special care.

Benefits of the Electronic Cigarette

Definitely the electronic cigarette can help you change your life and stop smoking tobacco that is a deadly and evil habit. There are more and more studies that show that vaping is 95% less dangerous than tobacco. This study by Public Health England proves it.

When you quit smoking and switch to vaping you will notice the following benefits:

• Frequent coughing is completely eliminated
• The phlegm in your throat disappears
• You will feel more energy in your body
• Goodbye bad breath
• Your lungs will start to clear
• The bad smell of tobacco will disappear on your hands and clothes
