[Delik821]

I always do this and for me it is the best build ! 1.4 ohms and the flavor is great

.25 ohms 21 watts 2.29 volts tripple twisted 26 guage kanthal. I like twisted in the rba!!!

If you like twisted, you can try quadruple twisted coil 32 ga Kanthal around 1 ohm and 20 wattu. Heats up really fast and flavor is the best for me !

Some lovely builds over here! I'm getting the subtank mini and want to get into rba.

How often do you rewick/make new coil?

Do any of you experience dry hit from long drag with subtank mini plus rba? How do you solve this problem?

I have been getting dry hit from a 4-5 sec drag, spaced ~2.4mm coil @ 0.5ohm, about 20w only, using Rayon cotton.
The strange thing is that it seems dry hitting only on one side?

Pancake wicking fixed my dry hit issues. Give it a try.

thanks rossoman, i will give it a try.

 

[ahwest]

tried the pancake wicking just now... first attempt, probably too less rayon as i get a lot of spit back... second attempt, i use more rayon at the tails, spit back is less but still there and i have to up the watt to 32w or so, but the flavor is strong and warm which i like, i got quite some nic buzz after a couple drags, do I still need more rayon at the tails to eliminate the spit back?

Im trying a 28g twisted then folded and reverse twisted back on itself, comes out to 3.5 ohm im up in the air about it I think it tastes funny. I usally use a 28g triple twisted at about 4.0 ohms and love it......

I have found my favourite coil build for the Subtank.

1.7 ohm, Twisted 32awg coil.

The first picture is a 1.7 ohm coil that I wanted to switch out (every week).
It was working great, but thought I could improve it.

AND I Have.
I found that if I build a tighter coil I get a better vape with this build.
Still 1.7 ohm, twisted 32awg coil

I use this build on top of my MVP2.0 or my iTaste134. So no mega power is needed.
Depending on the juice I hit this coil between 8W and 12W.
Usually I find 10W (4.1V @ 1.7ohm) is where I find it works best for most of my juices & flavours.
I find this build gives me the best vape... it is thick and flavourful without being too hot.

Why does your Kanger tank head have those grooves in the bottoms of it? I've got the subtank mini and I need to find out where I can get a bigger version of it.

My second coil build ever. Vapes really good.

Just put a piece of kleenex over the flash, it really helps cut the reflections. You can tape it over the flash to take multiple pics. I use this on my camera for face shots also.

I have 2 Kanger sub-tank minis running at all times. Love having two flavors. Been using the same basic build for 9 months. 22ga. single wire and/or 26ga. twisted wire. Both are built using 3ml 4 wrap with coil jig. I use only "Cotton Bacon" to wick with. They always come in at around 0.04 ohms. I fire em at 30w to 36w depending on juice. I use 70/30 vg/pg and some 80/20 vg/pg. Best flavor, clouds, and satisfaction guaranteed. Happy vaping trails my friends.

dual ribbon stovetop coils, aka hurricane coils. 5 wraps of 0.5x0.1 nichrome80 ribbon wire on a 1/16th screwdriver comes out to 0.8 ohms. Really good flavour build. Like RBA good.

Just started vaping and built my first coil for my kangertech subtank mini, went with 28g Kanthal A1 and made a twisted coil because I didn't want to make a basic coil as my first, had a little bit of spitting so moved the wick about and put a tiny bit extra in to stop it flooding, now vaping at 20w/0.7ohms and very happy with my first build

 

[TrikStari]

My build (first coil build on any rba ever. .25mm Kanthal 5/6 wraps, turned out 1.9ohms. Not bad for the first. Made it too fat though so the airflow isn't amazing.

Hey! someone else with a Kangertech Subtank on an Eleaf iStick. Nice to see.

Why does everyone's RBA decks look bigger than mine? I couldn't imagine using some of these because of issues I had with contacting the barrel, and the sheer lack of room in my own Kanger Subtank Mini (is it because it's the mini?)

The three versions of kanger rebuild deck are all the same size. Until I started building on kayfuns, when I went from building on 22mm RDAs to the kanger rba deck I felt like I needed a microscope to help me.
