Sub Ohm Vape Kit or Sub Ohm Pod?
A sub ohm vape kit used to mean a box mod with a glass tank. A sub ohm pod kit does the same job with a plastic pod that clicks on top, so it is smaller, harder to break and cheaper. What makes it sub ohm is the coil: anything under 1.0 ohm, usually a mesh coil between 0.15 and 0.6, driven at 40W or more so it can vaporise thick, high VG liquid in a direct to lung draw.
Choose by battery and power. The Innokin Coolfire P60 and VooPoo Argus E40 are compact daily kits; the Drag X3, Drag S3 and Aegis Boost 3 sit in the middle with 3000mAh cells and 60 to 80W; the Vinci E120 and Smok RPM 100 are the cloud chasers at 100W plus. The Drag kits and RPM 100 take a removable 18650, so you can carry a charged spare.

Sub Ohm Pod Kits FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What e-liquid do I use in a sub ohm pod kit?
High VG liquid, usually a 70/30 shortfill with a nic shot at 3mg or 6mg. Nic salts and 50/50 liquids are too thin and too strong for a sub ohm coil and will taste harsh.
Are sub ohm pod kits good for beginners?
Not as a first kit if you are switching from cigarettes. The draw is direct to lung and the nicotine is low, which feels very different from smoking. Start with an MTL pod kit and move here once you want more vapour.
How long does a sub ohm coil last?
One to two weeks. Sub ohm coils work harder and drink more liquid than MTL coils, so prime each new one for five minutes and keep the pod topped up to stretch its life.
Which sub ohm pod kit has the best battery?
The VooPoo Vinci E120 with 4500mAh and the Smok Nord 6 with 3800mAh are the largest built-in cells here. The Drag X, Drag X3 and RPM 100 use a removable 18650, so a spare battery gives unlimited run time.
