New Kanger Box Mod- The Subox

[hashtag]

Maybe around 25 or so on the first one. I had some dark juice on the second coil though and I'd say about 15 ml.

Yeah it should last longer. Look at the color of the juice in that picture I posted of the nintendo controller mod, it doesn't get much darker than that and that's 80% VG. It's in an atlantis in the pic but I use that in my subtanks as well.

As far as the popping some pop is normal but if it is spitting juice in your mouth then you should turn the wattage up a touch. Spitting is indicative of it not cooking the juice as fast as you are sucking it in.

I first tried the stock .5 ohm vertical coil in the new tank, but it was very dry vaping. Me no likey. Broke out the RBA then and wicked it up how I like and that's way more my kind of vape. Poppin' juicy just right!

Yeah I don't mind it a bit juicy as long as I'm not drinking it. I have my RBA in use on a temp control build right now though so I am back using the .5's in my subox.

Sweetened juices will make it gunk faster. That's the trade off: sweeten it the way you like it, or not have to dry burn and rewick as often. I have a nasty sweet tooth, so...

The cotton was getting all burned up which forced the changed. The coil seemed ok at the time though.

Thats about how dark the juice turned towards the last half of the tank. It was Puffs from The Clean Vape.

There's no juice getting into my mouth but it sounds like a bowl of rice crispies sometimes.

Does it still pop if you turn it up a few watts? It's nothing to worry about either way I'm just curious if it is a heat thing or something else.

Sacrilege you heathen!

If I turn it up and take a strong drag the popping is it a minimum. I keep the watts pretty low and take long slow drags. I think this plays into both the popping on the RBA and the .5 vert coil getting burnt up at a faster rate. Also with the RBA I noticed there is a lot more juice gathering in the space right below the drip tip, that little stainless well so speak that the tip sits on.

With the RBA at 1.4 ohms and 14 watts, I was getting some dry hits towards the end of the drag so I turned it down to 12 watts and it seems to be doing OK there.

Gonna say you're underwicked. Try wicking a little heavier next time.

Received my VCT5's from RTD Vapor yesterday. Just put a fully charged one in the 'Box. Very curious too see if there is an appreciable discharge rate difference between them and the HE4's.

I'm pretty sure this has come up before, but as I recall any VTC5 sold today is not made by Sony. There's a blog post on Battery Bros that has the details. There is also a post on Reddit that confirms this as well.

Yes, I am aware of the scuttle. But this is RTD Vapor we are talking about here. They are one of, if not the highest rated batt vendors out there. Would they risk all that to peddle some phonies? They seem to pass muster according to the "how to spot a fake" blogs.

Yeah, I'm aware of RTD's reputation. It's just that when you see (what looks like) official correspondence from Sony that they no longer make the VTC5, I'm not sure what to make of it. Does RTD have some authenticity documentation on these VTC5s? I'd like to try one if I knew they were real.

You could probably contact RTD and ask them about any questions you may have concerning this.

 

[ephilbe]

I didn't inquire. Prob worth an email. I'd be curious what you'd come up with. Even though Sony stopped producing/marketing them to unauthorized vendors, doesn't mean that there isn't still new old stock floating around out there. Hoping that is the case in my situation.

There may not be an issue with the Vtc5.

Well then, there we go.
Thanks blivey.

 

[blivey]

My tests showed the VTC5 lasting about 10% longer than the HE4 (down to 3.2V at 20A).
