Ok, so first off...
I really like the Subox Mini, as the title suggests.
But, I have been having loads of problems with it so far.
I am not really into sub ohming, I am more of a mouth to lung inhaler. Knowing this, I ordered a bunch of 1.5 and 1.2 ohm coils, both the vertical and horizontal models.
Something I am confused about though is that I cant seem to vape at higher than 8 watts without that burnt cotton taste. This seems odd to me since everything I read says people are using .5 ohm coils at 25-30 watts.
If people can vape at 25 watts with a .5 coil, I am confused as to why I am getting a burnt taste at above 8 watts with a coil that has 3x the resistance.
I am also having severe issues with all types of the pre built coils dry hitting. I prime and prime, I drip juice on the coil when its new, and I get 4 or 5 good hits then BAM... nasty burnt cotton taste (at 7-8 watts)!
I have been through 4 coils in 3 days now..... Not ideal since they are $3 a piece.
The juice I have been using is a mixture of two juices (because I ordered a bunch of 12mg juice right before buying this setup and 12mg was too strong.
I am using 1 part 50/50 12mg mixed with 1 part max vg 0mg. Both juices are very clear colored because I dont like what dark juice does to the equipment.
I came from using a nautilus mini with a mvp 2.0. I never had any of these issues with that setup but I think the ceramic wicks were irritating my lungs so I wanted to try something different. That and the battery was getting pretty worn out.
When it works correctly, its fantastic! I really want to solve the issue, please help!
