    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    I figured out the issue with the res fluctuation. It was going all over the place, like up to 2.8 for a second. I figured the one of the screws was loose. Not sure if it was pos or neg, but I tightened it up and now I'm sittin pretty at 0.9 again. Home sweet home :banana:

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    Well my first attempt at rebuilding yielded the exact resistance I was shooting for. 26g kanthal wrapped around a 3.25mm crocheting hook. Came out at .9 ohms. That was until, I ennealed and wicked the sucker! The res went up to 1.2 after that. No complaints though. The vape is still tastier and...

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    I chose the 26 because it seemed popular with both the RBA and OCC heads for subtank users. Hopefully the cotton I ordered is in fact organic and free of chlorine as they say. I don't wanna spark up and get a lungful of unwanted chemicals. What does LMK mean by the way?

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    I'm waiting on a spool of 26g A-1 and some organic cotton balls. I opted for those instead of KGD because the best priced kgd on amazon ships from Japan and I couldn't see myself waiting that long since I've only got the 1 pad provided with the subtank. I'm certain I could probably get my hands...

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    Well I was thinking that it would only be fitting. Since everything is held together by frequencies. Some twisted clapton coil things I've seen seem to be taking advantage geometrical idealogu. Then crown coil would be fun to try down the road, if I ever get an rba with 3 posts as opposed to two.

    Thanks for that excerpt. I wonder if using some sacred geometry in coil building would yield good results. Has anyone tried a flower/tree of life coil? Or a vesica pisces coil? Or is the circle pretty much as good as it gets in concerns to how electrical current travels through resistance wire?

    How do you use a pin vise exactly? Put it in a drill chuck and wind the kanthal around it? Also, how do I remove the caps from the top of the OCC heads? The rounded corners and tiny size make it difficult for my sweaty hands xD! I've seen the rip trippers vid where he used the screw driver...

    Maybe I was mistaken...I think the latest batch of Sub minis comes with a sub ohm coil on the RBA deck? I've heard that people get them straight out the package ranging from 0.5 -0.7 . When I read the specs on the MVS store I probably just misunderstood which coils were which. I see the two...

    Subtank Mini

    All 510s leak...it's just a part of vaping. Its more of a codensation issue for me. On the battery pin, just your vapor condensing onto the cool metal. Although, I'm not sure if you're having leaks from your airflow ports or what...but I also had that issue. The seal on your tank must be real...

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    You were right Mac! This tank is amazing :D. Only cons I can come up with are how it threads onto my iStick 30w. Also, all these videos shot with Macro lenses made me think I was cutting the right width of OC wick lol. Man, oh man I dun goofed and brought the 1.2 ohm coil down to 0.7 because I...

    That's a beautiful coil there man! I'm curious...Since I've never seen an rba deck up-close. Do the leads wrap around the screws for xtra leverage of do they just get wedged underneath them?

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    Well... I caved in and purchased the Sub mini. The juice capacity of the nano was not going to sate my needs. Plus, I've heard that the Subtank series burns through juice easily. The fact that my Mini is coming with an RBA deck is definitely worth it in my eyes. I think I'll try my hand at...

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    Hey MacTechVpr! I'm on MVS right now looking at a subtank nano... Should I buy it? It says minimum draw required to fire the coils is 15W. I like the battery life I get with my current set-up. How much of a blow will my battery life take if I start sub-ohming?

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    Yeah I've noticed the leakage. How concerned should I be about it? It seems its more condensation than actual juice dripping onto the battery pin. I clean it out with a rolled up piece of toilet paper every time I refill my tank. It's almost like tiny dew droplets get in there. The threading...

    irritation in the lungs triggering asthma?

    Are su Are subtank coils difficult to rebuild? I have a protank 3 atm. Looking to graduate to something with more airflow and more kick to my vape. You should reply with a message. Don't want this thread getting off-topic.

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    Sorry to be so short with the reply in advance. Can I purchase organic cotton at walgreens? The closest CVS here in northern nevada is a half hour away. I'd be spending more in gas than on the actual cotton lol. I do have a protank 3 btw. I think it's fake though. The scratch off code returned...

    irritation in the lungs triggering asthma?

    A netti pot helps withs with asthma ss well. I think it builds back your mucus membrane of your nasal passage so it can trap particles in the air more efficiently.

    Can someone breakdown a dual-coil calculation to me?

    I was thinking of using a q-tip but I wasnt sure if it would be rigid enough. If I used a regular Bic light to oxidize the wire, what would u reccommend I soak the coil in afterwards to remove carbon residue? Would rubbing alcohol work or would that mess up the kanthal?

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    Well I am going to need to rebuild my PT 3 coils soon. The two that came with it are going to burn out in a couple weeks and I want to have a couple coiled wicks ready to replace them. I vape with my iStick 30w and my pt 3 around 4.0 - 4.2v. I notice if I go upwards of 4.4 I get a real nasty...
