Suggestions for new setup welcome

[retired1]

OK, while I'm aware of all the latest and greatest goodies hitting the market, the majority do absolutely nothing for me, or my vaping style. However, I haven't really kept up with tanks.

First, I vape to replace smoking. I don't view it as a hobby and I've gotten tired of the hobby aspect as far as rebuilding goes. So.....

1. Must be capable of TC
2. Must be small. (The smaller, the better.)
3. Accompanying tank should use stock coils. I'm tired of rebuilding. Again, must be capable of being used in a TC mod.
4. 18650 or smaller preferred. Not really wild about everything getting "bigger", including batteries.
5. Tank must support MTL. Direct lung hits? Nope nope nope. Not for me.

The setup needs to be compact. Think Smoant Knight or Tesla Stealth. I'm partial to this type of mod due to it protecting the tank.

This is going to be a "daily driver" which also means it's going to get used at work (including the occasional trip to the can to get a "fix"). Therefore, clouds are definitely not a consideration.

I really like the size of my Tesla Stealth with the Freemax Starre(the coils are great for flavor and which can use Atlantis v2 coils), the Tesla Nano 100 is small with TC. but for MTL the Aspire Nautilus X Compact might more to your taste and I believe they make SS coils for them.

My favorite mod is the Pico 75watt. The kit comes with the Melo 3 that is fairly decent. The Triton coils (not the mini) will fit the Melo also. I use a Toptank mini on mine. Hope you find what your looking for.

While I don't actually have one, (I like the extra battery life of a dual battery mod) the istick Pico seems to be a popular choice. I know a few people that have them, and they seem to be an almost bulletproof device, with all the modern conveniences.
Haven't been shopping for a MTL tank lately, but the old standby Nautilus mini is still a good choice (I have one in my rotation that's over 2 years old) but (just checked in a couple places) the only coils available are kanthal.

MTL, a single 18650 is fine. I'd go with the Pico 25 mod. Small and a good rep on the original and follow up Picos. Does TC reasonably well for the price point. It also accommodates 25 mm tanks which offers more flexibility than the 22 mm limited original Pico.

The problem you'll run into is finding a mtl tank that uses a TC coil. The only one I can think of is a Triton mini Ni 0.15 ohm coil that can fit the Nauti series (except the Nauti X) or a Triton mini if you can find one. Most of the factory TC coils on the market for any tank are geared towards more airflow than a tight mtl.

Maybe someone knows of a factory coil mtl setup that offers TC coils, but outside of the Ni Triton mini coil I'm drawing a blank.

SS coils are available for the iSub tanks.

 

[Eskie]

SS coils are available for the iSub tanks.

But do they offer a good mtl experience? If so, a great solution.

 

[Letitia]

Haven't had one but see them recommended often for mtl and they are given high marks in the mtl tank best of category.

I'd suggest the Pico 75 watt as well.I've been using one for a bunch of months and it works well in TC and VW modes.

For devices, everything I have heard is that the top two boards for TC are the Yihi and the DNA boards. So maybe look at devices that fit your size, battery count, and price concerns that use those boards. Personally I just ordered the HCigar VT75D (dual battery DNA 75C device). It is supposed to arrive today so no personal experience with it yet.

For a MTL tank with replaceable coil heads, I am anxiously awaiting the two new tanks from PBusardo and Innokin due out end of Oct. One is an RBA but the other is a replaceable coil head tank.

Coming soon: New MTL tanks

Good luck.

SS coils are available for the iSub tanks.

I've got an iSub. NOT an MTL tank.

 

[PJReid]

The iSub V is a TC tank. It comes with 0.5 SS coils that are suitable for mouth to lung vaping if you restrict the airflow. There are probably better choices - I don't know - but for drop-in SS coils, I don't think there are a lot of options. Others, sure, but not a large variety of choices.

The Pico 75 TC paired with either a Nautilus 2 or a Toptank Mini. The TTM tank does MTL well with the 1.2 Ohm coils for it. You'll need a narrow bore drip tip and you'll need to close the airflow to your liking, but once you do you're good. The Protank II drip tip works great, BTW.

The Nauty is strictly a MTL tank. A lot of ECF users who are MTL vapers use that tank.

I have the Target Mini and I've been enjoying it as a mod for on the go mtl. You can use tc on this mod. The tank called the guardian tank comes with an option to either use it as non-mtl with a .5 coil, or you can "convert" the tank to a mtl tank and use the .6 coil from the recommended 8 to 13 watts. Both coils are made of stainless steel.

How small do you want your mod to be? I'm not a fan of Picos (seems like I'm the only one in the world) because I don't care for that battery cap on top and it just doesn't fit right in my (S/M size) hand. If you want a side-by-side, let me page the two people who are experts on the subject--they'll be able to tell you what works and what doesn't: @Katdarling and @DPLongo22

If you want a smallish (mini) mod with tank on top, I really like the Wismec Presa 75. Joyetech eVic Primo Mini and/or Wismec Sinuous P80 are also worth considering.

If you want a smallish mod with a DNA chip, this one comes highly recommended and is very well priced:

MTL tanks with TC coils? That's tougher. Eleaf GS Airtank, Nautilus, and eGo One tanks all come with TC-capable coils, but I don't know how good they are--I use them with Kanthal coils. Subtank mini comes with SS coils, but they may be too airy for you. I agree with Scott's suggestion--Phil's tanks are supposed to be MTL and one version comes with premade coils. Should be released soon.

Coming soon: New MTL tanks

Here is something I will be buying, it's the authentic vape cige sd nano 60 watt. My favs are the olc stratums , I have 3 and they are just the perfect size imo, but they are super expensive and hard to get, but someone turned me on to the vape cige mods and they are basically the same size and shape and reasonable. I bet the kabuki tank would look sweet on top

OH ..... never mind

Like I said in my original post, I like the Smoant Knight/Tesla Stealth designs as they protect the tank and reduce the overall size of the rig. I've used both in the past (belonged to someone else) and I liked that design.

R1, my suggestion for a somewhat protected tank would also be the Rolo as Beamslider just mentioned.

I don't use any TC coils, but I see you've had recommendations there, too.

The only other mod I love (for nearly completely hidden tanks) is the XVO. Not cheap, but for me, fabulous.
