Hi Steve,
Welcome from Ontario, Canada!

 

[GoBlue88]

Yeah wow thanks. I was thinking of switching to a rda. But wasn't too sure. Apparently they don't play too nice with the 30W iStick but a 100W iStick should work perfectly




Thanks lol interestingly I wanted the kangertech sub box mini but they were out of batteries so I went for the eleaf

Oh they play nice

I'm also new here. I lurk mostly due to 3rd shift. Read up on various things but rarely reply.

Ah yeah. The important thing is that your here welcome!

Oh they play nice

Oooooooooo. What wattage are you running it at?

I'm hanging around 18-20 watts. 80VG:20PG Juice, and any more wattage and I can't drive and vape due to the size/density of the cloud, and it will tick off people at the bar. The trend is towards making as big of clouds as possible in vaping, but that doesn't have to be the case for you. It isn't for me (at least for my every day vape setup)

@GoBlue88, what's the build on your Sapor to run on an iStick 30W?

 

[GoBlue88]

About 8/9 wraps kanthal a1 28 gauge 2.4 diameter 1.6 ohms

 

[SteveF90]

Ooooooooo. Would it be possible to have a .5ohm build on there?

Thanks, @GoBlue88! I recently got an RBA (mostly on a whim while it was on sale), and built it the same, except 26 gauge, 1.3. I wasn't sure if others built RBAs that weren't subohm.

I tried building my RTA down as low as .5, but I think that was too low. I don't know if one would consider 0.8 to be subohm, but I found that to work better within the iStick's wattage range. Usually I build about 1.1, and run it around 13-15 watts.

Nice! Yeah it seems like the tendency for people who build is to build real low, but you certainly don't have to.

I'm planning on setting up an RDA to subohm at high wattage, but it'll stay at home and mostly be for occasional use. For everyday use im happy at 20 watts and not subohming.

Yes fires down to .4 ohm.

The i stick 30w that is.

 

[SteveF90]

Really? That's odd because my iStick with my subtank mini reads at .7ohms where the coil in the tank is .5?

Hmm you'll probably need someone more knowledgable than me to help you with that discrepancy. Could be gunk buildup on the coil? I really don't know just shooting from the hip.
