Most Likely a Loaded Question from the Ill-informed

[tjcraig]

I tend to rant and go off-topic so I'll try to make this question as simple as possible to answer.

I've been using the the Kanger Subtank Mini on the ipv Mini II for about three months now and overall I love it. When I first got my eGo starter kit years ago I didn't care about cloud production and was only concerned about the throat hit being similar to the strength of a Camel filter so the transition would be easier. Now that I've been using this tank I have to admit the clouds have grown on me and it wouldn't be the same if they were taken away. My only problem is that I'm using the 1.2 ohm coil and I'm running through these things, on average, every 4-5 days and I'm starting to wonder (and hope) if there are cheaper options I should look into, but I don't even know where to start. I'm assuming the answer I'm going to get is rba's and if that's the case can anyone point me in the right direction for a dummy guide? Any and all advice is much appreciated!

You're actually doing pretty good (4-5 days on a coil), there are worse options out there , stick with it or consider rebuildables.

Yeah, I would say 5-7 days on a subtank coil until they start tasting icky and not producing good vapor, was my experience. Especially with a higher powered device, I would imagine.

I haven't tried one, but I have heard good things about both the Lemo and the Delta II with rebuildable head. I have an Orchid RBA tank and I like it OK. If I can build coils, pretty sure anyone can.

You are at the stage where your best option is an RBA.
They seem intimidating but they aren't.
Do some research, brush up on ohms law and pick up the right tools (ohm reader, kanthal, screwdrivers, etc).

safety first!!! Educate yourself on batteries and whatnot, and build something!

wrapping a coil isn't surgery, just takes a bit of practice.


if you have a local B&M, ask them for a demo.

you already have the Subtank Mini. which is a rebuildable device. the Sub Mini comes with 1.2 and 0.5 premade coils. but also has an additional rebuiladble atty. start looking into a few simple supplies and youll be good to go

Those heads are very easy to pull out the wick, dry burn the coil and re wick. Check youtube,there are a bunch of videos. No need to replace constantly or make new coils. Its a five min operation and even the finest Japanese cotton costs as much as 2-3 coils for enough for a lifetime. I got a box of 60 pads for $12.

doesn't the subtank mini have an RBA section? All you need is just use the RBA section on your subtank mini. (if it is the mini, the mini has an RBA section, the subtank NANO doesnt). All you would need to buy is kanthal wire and some cotton.

Yes, it does. Add to this list, an ohm reader.

SubTank should be an easy tank to keep in your Collection as you progress. It offers you 2 opportunities to build to your preference.
The build deck is fairly simple to learn and manage and The Coil heads are fully buildable.

26ga. Wire and Cotton/Rayon will do the trick on either

Yes the answer is rebuildables.

Get yourself a simple rda. Whatever else you might get, get an rda.

Oh, and you have the subtank mini; the subtank mini comes with a rebuildable head!! All you have to do is use the rebuidable head and wrap your own coils;
get a few rba heads and you could prewrap a few heads ready to go.
If you get yourself a 10pack of rba heads you could afford to vape on a fresh head everyday and rewick/dryburn heads on sundays.

And check youtube for videos about rebuilding

You already own a rebuildable so... buy these 3 things: 26g kanthal, cotton or rayon, and an ohms meter. Watch some youtube on rebuilding the subtank mini and save tons of money, improve your vape experience and call it a day on ever buying stock coils again. Next level bro! Lol.
