What do you guys prefer for the subtank, 26 or 28g kanthal? I'm going to order some soon.
I was impatient, went ahead and ordered 28g. I'm sure it'll do the trick. Got a spool of that, a coil jig thingy, some cotton, and cutters all for $18! Boom.
I have to honestly say I've had the best luck now for a year and a half --building my coils with 28 guage
Not too much metal here to heat up and not too flimsy that it won't hold it's shape.
I have 32 guage here in my collection but it is too thin for drippers.
I use the 32 guage wire mostly for rebuilding pro tanks and such.

Cool, that's good to hear. I've used the prebuilt coils that came with my subtanks, this will be my first time building my own. It's funny, a couple weeks ago I would've told you I don't care to build my own. Well, changed my mind lol. I'll still use my occs too, obviously for my nano. I paid the price I would for a pack of occs, for everything I need to build an almost endless amount in the rba. Only 10 little squares of cotton, but it's probably a lot also.
Yes the cotton seems to last for ever----I bought a small pack of Ko gen do about 4 pieces 2 inch by 2 inch--and
it has lasted a long time. I find that the type of cotton for me anyways doe not matter that much.
It makes a difference how much I use in a coil or whether or not I have air in the tank or
leave my fill plug out on my RSST.

I don't know how good the cotton I got was honestly, hope it's fine. I have a fasttech order for some good highly rated cotton but it keeps getting pushed back. It says tomorrow, if it gets pushed back again I'm going to cancel it.
Why not just split the difference and go with 27g? I get mine from Lightning Vapes.
Didn't think about it, or see it where I ordered. I got 10m roll for $4, so no big deal. I got free shipping on everything I ordered from the same seller on ebay.
i use 26ga but you will be fine with the 28. i have some cotton squares from fasttech and it is good.
I'm going to use some ebay cotton, fasttech taking way too long to even ship.
Dan,
Do a search for cotton labo on Amazon. It's Japanese organic cotton. You can get a package of 200 medium size cotton pads for under $8. They're fulfilled by Amazon, so if you have Amazon Prime you'll get them in 2 days. Each pad gives me 5 wicks.
That's exactly the cotton that got pushed back on fasttech for me. 200 pads. So I'll just wait for it! I have enough to last even if it takes a while. If I order from amazon it's another $7 with shipping. I don't have prime.
Edit. Found it on ebay $6 shipped. Refunded from fasttech and order placed on ebay boom! Cheaper than ft. May take til July 30 though lol.

Thanks! I had a vision...
Now you're making me nervous, @SUPER K.
What exactly are your concerns regarding the glass? I can tell you with certainty that the color is only on the outside. No view window is the only caveat for me so far as the metal tanks go. Although with TC, it would be less of an issue for me running a tank dry.

I break stuff is my only concern with the glass. We have an etching chemical at work for glass. I'm going to experiment with a spare glass to see what it looks like. I'd still love to see Kanger add a viewing section to that sleeve,I don't have TC and don't really know much about it.
