Best Sub Ohm Tanks of 2017 for Flavor & Clouds

With the ever increasing and growing popularity of vaping you will find that there are more options available to you than ever before.

When you are looking for the best sub ohm tanks, there are many things that have to be in the running.

Sub ohm tanks are not the easiest type of tank to use with vaping which means that they are not for everyone.

Many who try a sub ohm tank fall in love but there are still a small amount who do not prefer this style of vaping.

One of the great things about sub ohm tanks is that they feature replaceable and rebuildable (for most) coil heads.

This means that you can replace them when something goes wrong.

Sub ohm tanks can be vaped at less than 1 ohm resistance. The most common coil resistance is .5 ohms but it can be as low as .2 ohms.

If you want to be able to use the coils at this level you have to make sure that you are choosing a mod that is going to work at that level.
