The Shift from Sub-Ohm Vaping

There’s a shift from Sub-Ohm Vaping to Mouth-to-Lung Vaping in the UK The vaping landscape in the UK has seen a significant shift in recent years, with a growing number of vapers transitioning from sub-ohm vaping to mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping. This change reflects evolving preferences and a desire for a more traditional smoking experience. Understanding Sub-Ohm Vaping Sub-ohm vaping involves using a device with a coil resistance below one ohm (Ω). This allows the device to generate more power, resulting in enhanced vapor production and intensified flavour. Sub-ohm vaping has been popular among cloud chasers and those who enjoy large vapor clouds. The Rise of Mouth-to-Lung Vaping Mouth-to-lung vaping mimics the experience of smoking a traditional cigarette. Vapers draw vapor into their mouth before inhaling it into their lungs, similar to the way one would smoke a cigarette. This style of vaping has gained popularity among former smokers who are looking for a more familiar experience. UK Figures and Trends According to recent surveys, almost 3 million adults in England now vape. The shift towards MTL vaping can be attributed to several factors, including the desire for a more traditional smoking experience and the availability of devices that cater to this style. High-powered pod systems and MTL devices have steadily gained popularity, surpassing traditional vape mods and pens. Conclusion The vaping industry continues to evolve, with vapers in the UK increasingly favouring mouth-to-lung vaping over sub-ohm vaping. This shift reflects a broader trend towards devices that offer a more familiar and satisfying experience for former smokers.
