On the surface, sub ohm tanks and regular tanks do not have many differences. However, they also have characteristics that determine whether the vaping experience you encounter is good or bad. Professional vapers with many years of experience know the pros and cons of this type of tank, they often consider it a secret and only share it with people who are serious about using and improving vaping. Regardless of the industry's perspective on these atomizers, we can still point out the clear differences between sub ohm tanks and other types of tanks.
Difference 1: Amount of essential oil
Since sub ohm tanks are typically used with high-powered box mods, the amount and type of e-juice can vary greatly from what you’d get with a regular atomizer. Since high-powered box mods are designed to produce large clouds, they typically require more e-juice per puff. Sub ohm tank users typically stop once or twice to refill, and heavy smokers stop even more often. That said, different amounts and types of e-juice can produce different throat hits. Sub ohm tanks typically produce stronger lung hits.
Difference 2: Air vents
Another huge difference between a sub ohm tank and a regular tank is the type of airflow and adjustability. Regular tanks only have about one or two airflow holes, and starter kit tanks usually have quite tight airflow holes to create the feeling of smoking a cigarette. Sub ohm tanks usually have at least three airflow holes, which can be customized to the user's preference. Usually, they will open the airflow holes all the way to increase the ability to create smoke. Customizing the airflow holes plays an important role in adjusting the rate of smoke production and the flavor of the tank.
Difference 3: Type of essential oil
The type of e-juice used in a sub ohm tank is a little different. Since more e-juice is used per puff, the amount of nicotine in the e-juice needs to be less than that of a regular e-juice. You will see that vapers who use sub ohm tanks often use e-juice with a nicotine concentration of less than 6mg, because they say that if the nicotine concentration is higher, they will feel a bit sore and uncomfortable.
Furthermore, sub ohm tanks are often designed specifically for high VG e-liquids. While e-liquids are usually higher in PG, the best e-liquid for sub ohm is VG because it is thicker and can produce more vapor. VG also has a slightly sweet taste, so many vapers find that VG e-liquids taste a little better.
Sub ohm tanks and regular tanks may have a lot in common, and what we’ve outlined above are just the key differences between the two. Knowing these differences will help you choose the one that best suits your vaping preferences. Choosing the right atomizer is crucial to your vaping experience, and knowing the other three differences can help you make an informed choice.
