What is Noob vaping?
Noob– A new vaper, due to a quick learning curve required to even start vaping, people are usually a real noob for only 1 week. No Resistance Wire– Conductive wire that is used in RBAs to complete a circuit to the atomizer coil. This wire does NOT heat up. NRT – Common acronym for Nicotine Replacement Therapy Jump to top O
What is the best ohm coils for vaping?
Of course the vapor tends to get warmer and warmer as you go from 2.0 Ohms to 1.0 Ohms, however not as warm as with sub ohm coils. So, if you are a smoker trying to make the switch or a vaping beginner then a device with 1.5 – 1.8 Ohm coils would be advisable, however, in the end everything depends on personal preference.
What is a modmod vape?
Mod– Short for modification. This originally referred to modifying a flashlight or a battery to be used in vaping, but is now commonly used to refer to any vaping device that is not a cigalike. Mouthpiece– The end of the e-cigarette the user puffs on, and places to their mouth. Some mouthpieces come as a drip tip or cartridge.
How many coils does a vape cartomizer use?
Cartomizer–Single Coil – A cartomizer that uses only 1 coil. This is usually the standard. Cartomizer – Dual Coil – A dual coil cartomizer that uses 2 coils. Because of its’ dual coil design, it is able to produce twice as much vapor.

What is a cartridge in ecigs?
Cartridge: Similar in shape to a filter for a traditional cigarette. This plastic tube contains absorbent material soaked in eLiquid. Cartridges were popular in the first generation ecigs and have since been mostly replaced with cartomizers.
What does ohms mean in atomizers?
Ohms : Also identified with the symbol Ω , ohms is the measurement of resistance. Applied to electronic cigarette atomizers, the lower the ohms, the less resistance. This equates to a hotter coil which creates more vapor.
What is a box mod?
Box Mod: A vaporizer typically in a box or rectangular shape. Box mods can be above-ohm and sub-ohm and tend to have variable voltage, variable wattage. Newer box mods have temperature control. BVC: Acronym for Bottom Vertical Coil.

So I am going to purchase a kanger subox mini very soon, but I am confused because the page says that you have the option of OCC or RBA for it. There is a part that mentions making wicks but I am not sure if that is only required for one of the two (occ or rba ).

You can buy pre-made coils (OCC), or you can build your own in the RBA section. Your choice. I only use the latter. Some don't like to mess with it, and just pick up the pre-made ones.

The kit will come with 2 OCC coils, a .5 and a 1.5. It will also have a RBA deck that has a .5 ohm coil already installed and a extra coil, cotton, extra screws and screw driver. All you have to do to use the RBA deck is wick the coil.

Have also just recently found out that you can use the ProTank 2 coils as a substitute in the SubTank mini.

Thank you everyone for you replies, I did go ahead and buy 2 5 packs of the OCC coils in .5 ohm resistance, but after I expire those I think I am going to try to learn how to build my own coils and build on the RBA deck, especially sense it seems like it is A LOT cheaper in the longer run.
What is an ohm in vaping?
What is an Ohm. First of all, ohms represent a unit of measurement for resistance, and when it comes to vaping they translate to how difficult is for the electrical current from the battery to pass through the heating coil. The lower the resistance, the faster a coil heats up to a certain temperature and controlling this value is key in delivering ...
What starter kit comes with coils?
On some of these devices you can also experiment with sub ohm coils, which are either included in the box as spares or can be bought separately.
Is sub ohm vaping good?
Sub ohm vaping can be very rewarding, but at the same time it has a few downsides. The first is that it's mostly suitable for direct lung inhales, which is a style of vaping not that familiar to smokers or beginners. In order to fully enjoy the big clouds you need to draw the vapor straight into the lungs, which requires a very airy draw on the tank or atomizer.
What is the battery in an electronic cigarette?
Battery (batt) – Commonly known as the most important part of an electronic cigarette, it provides powers the heating element that turns the e liquid into vapor. It comes in two different types: automatic and manual. Manual switched batteries have a button to activate rather than being activated upon inhalation. They range in sizes and most have an LED light at the end that lights up when it is activated.
What happens if an E liquid leaks out of the clearomizer?
Leaking – E liquid can leak out of the bottom of the clearomizer/atomizer/cartomizer and onto the battery, which in some cases can cause damage to the device and causing a shortage.
What is joules in mods?
It is equal to the energy transferred (or work done) when applying a force of one newton through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N. m), or in passing an electric current of one ampere through a resistance of one ohm for one second.
How many ml is a unicorn bottle?
Unicorn bottle – E-liquid bottles that hold 15 ml or 30ml with an easy to use tip for dripping. Great for carrying liquid when traveling or out on the town as an alternative to the shorter, fatter bottles.

What is a vape device?
Vape devices use simple circuits that contain a battery, a switch and a heating coil. The circuit is effectively a controlled short, with the power output from the battery used to create heat.
How to get the perfect vape experience?
After all, with most entry-level vape kits, all you need to do is: Check what wattage you can use with the coil in your device. Adjust your wattage and airflow until you get the vapour, flavour and throat hit you need. Some people want to know more to get the perfect vaping experience.
What does wattage mean in vaping?
To put it another way, watts is essentially how much power your vape produces and voltage is how much power is put through the device. So, as you increase the wattage the voltage also increases and vice versa.
Why do vapes burn out faster?
You will need to increase the voltage to increase the wattage and get a better vape. Because lower resistance coils use more wattage, they tend to generate more heat. This means they often burn out quicker than a higher resistance coil would.
What is the resistance of a sub ohm coil?
The term sub-ohm, while still used, is not as relevant as it used to be. Coils below 1 ohm are common, and coils with a resistance of 0.8 ohms are often used for Mouth-to-Lung vaping. Even lower resistance coils, such as 0.15 coils, are often used for cloud vaping.
What does ohm mean in atomizers?
An ohm (Ω) is a unit of resistance. Essentially, the lower the resistance of your coil, the more electricity will flow through it. Increase the amount of resistance and less electricity will flow through. So when you use a lower resistance atomiser, and more electricity flows through, you will find the following:
