Subtank Mini - Vertical vs. Horizontal Coil?

[yo0123yo]

Still semi new to vaping and have had my subtank mini for around a month and I have seen some unique builds lol, something that interests me and caught my attention is the vertical coil and to have the wicking around the coil instead of going through it. Has anyone tried this in the subtank mini? Pros/con's?thanks so much

Check out the vertical coils in the kayfun and should be about the same wick and build.

Yep. I've done vertical rebuilds of the OCC coils both with kanthal (0.5 ohm) and in the ni200 coil heads (0.15 ohm). Works like a dream. Air flow is better, wicking seems better, wattage handling is a bit higher (for the kanthal... temp handling is better with the nickel), and flavor is outstanding. Tried it with the RBA, but the results weren't as nice. Awesome, awesome build. It's how I vape on all of my Subtanks, now.

Yes I have done it since that is what I do in all my Kangers and Nautiluses. Now I would like to experiment with inserting the cotton after the coil is in so if I want to change it I won't need to change the coil as well. I make it a point to leave a blunt needle standing inside the coil at all times so the air hole is never blocked. Works a treat.

Vertical coils all the way. I took some ideas from Rip trippers chimney coil build for the Delta 2 and it works great. Wicking is always the toughest part for me. Too much, dry hit. Not enough and you flood. Experiment can be fun and stinks at the same time.
