Vape mail RULES!!!The mailman came! 1.5ohm coil primed. Tank juiced up. Just waiting on the battery to charge!
Welcome to ECF! looks like you got yourself all set up, you aren't trying to quit smoking you already did!, just don't ahve a stinkie and vape vape vape
Welcome my friend. Nice choice of the equipment. I would buy one more battery for sometimes we are confronted situations 2 batteries are not enough. In fact you should always keep spares of whatever you can think of (It may seem paranoiac but experience my friend)
With subtank mini please dampen your coil before first use. Even put it on the mod and after dripping liquid fire 2-3 seconds repeatedly and drip again wait until you are sure the cotton is soaked.
With RBA unit they coiled but not put cotton in it. Have 7mm cotton cut from the sample cotton round it between your fingers and pass through the coil. (You have to watch the videos of doing this.) And dont throw away the suare ones because they can be rewicked and recoiled too.
Bon voyage my friend welcome among us.

I was thinking that 2 batteries would be enough, but you're probably right. I will purchase a 3rd on my next order.
For dapening a new coil, do you mean connecting it to the Base without a tank, and connecting the base to the mod. Then you are firing it and priming it without a tank to make sure the wick is saturated? I believe this is the first that I have read of priming that way, and I want to make sure that I understand correctly before I try it.
Thanks for the great advice!
Last night on the car ride home I chain vaped almost the entire commute on the Subox. I vaped way too much with 18mg i have been using in the EVOD/T3S and got a little woosy. I was playing with the air flow setting, and the wattage most of the ride, trying to figure out what I like best.
A bunch of people on the forum say that smokers directly inhale cigarette smoke into their lungs. I have never done that. I always took a few short, strong puffs and then inhaled. So mouth to Lung may work better for me.
On the EVOD/T3S I have to inhale straight into my lungs to get enough vapor. With the Subox, even on low power, it produces so much more vapor, I think I prefer going Mouth to Lung. With a short puff, 19watts is giving me a bunch of warm vapor that I like that is comfortable to then inhale.
Another huge difference is the Airy draw on the subtank even on the lowest setting. I don't think that is a bad thing, it is just so much lighter than a smoke or the T3S.
So far I am enjoying my new tool!
yes my friend before using a new cotton coil we have to damp the cotton otherwise it is burnt. Look at all the complaints, leaking because they dont put cotton on RBA unit or get dry hits or burnt taste. simply not saturating coil before use.
Make sure you watch videos concerning how to use subtank mini.
Yes... I understand what you are saying. I primed the coil using the method on the instructions. 4 drips in the top of the coil on the cotton, and a drip in the 2 holes on the sides. I just didn't do your method with firing the coil without a tank. I will try your way on the next coil.
I also understand about needing to wick the RBA.
Thanks for your advice!
I am still using a lot of EVOD style tanks. Been vaping over a year, now.
Evod style tanks for me: are bang on easy to maintain, are affordable(cheap as in at most $10 USD), do what is advertised.
I tried a Kanger Aero Tank and found a lack of enjoyment from it. At the time I could not warrant paying $3 per coil head. I have fumble fingers ergo lack capacity/patience to do the whole rebuilding thing. Am gradually learning it though.
Found the T-Dux series of evod style tanks recently. I bought a couple T-Dux 3 tanks that use dual coils. Like them a lot.
If you're not looking into doing the sub ohm thing in hurry you may want to reconsider what was called 'newbie' gear for you. You may find that 'newbie' gear actually will suit you better. I use coils ranging from around 1.8 - 2.4 ohm resistance. I find they do well on an Innokin MVP2 mod at ~6-8 Watts or ~4-6 volts. I use Innokin batteries as they seem to be affordable, good all around quality. Recently bought a Smok X-Pro M22 battery, it does okay but still not parting with the Innokin batteries.
All in, I use 'newbie' gear just fine even after having explored a bit. Still intend to explore further but at my own pace. Not really into 'latest & greatest' for the sake of 'latest & greatest', no need to be. This is only my view though, ymmv and all the usual standard disclaimers apply.
Thanks for the information! For now, I am going to continue puffing on both the evod/t3s and the subox and see how things develop. Its possible, like you said, that I end up favoring the EVOD style and decide that I want to go forward with that style setup. I am not in a hurry to purchase anything more. The only thing that I would like to add is a dripper for sampling, but that's it.
Between the 2 devices, I think that I have enough gear to keep me going in case something breaks, so I do not go running to the convenience store for cigarettes.
I also have my 9 flavors from Vape Wild steeping. I only ordered 6 but they gave me 3 free samples! I need to stop by a local vape shop for juice to last me until the VW juices are good to use.
My friend with my method you will get rid off any bad smell (if there is ) with cotton or wire. Anyway do it as you like. It is not a big matter. It will be a must with your own coils.
So far, so good! Today is my 3rd day without a cigarette, and this has by far been the easiest 3 days without cigarettes that I have ever had!
Had my first dry hit today
and still trying to get rid of that taste. 
Cleaned my tank, replaced the coil two times, and still taste/smell it! Must be in my lungs or just in my head....
Just wanted to update everyone. So far so good - no cigarettes in over 2 weeks. Stopped by a local vape shop for a Black Friday sale. I purchased the a small clone SMPL mod and Clone Derringer as a nice compact backup device. I am also expecting some vape mail with some 28g Kanthal and some Cotton.

Wow, how did you switch that fast?
I've been vaping for 3 months, still can't let go my cigarettes. Good for you. What's your secret?
For me, vaping doesn't give me the dryness and bitter aftertaste. Cigarettes do. Especially after meal. How did you get over that?
