Advice for IStick30

[Tony64]

Hithere!
My name is Tony, I'm from Belgium and quit smoking cigs 50 days ago, thanks to the e-sig it was no trouble at all this time!
Today I got my istick 30, I really like it.
I had an Apollo Valliant VV/VW with a Kanger Protank 2, and put the PT2 on my Istick.
When experimenting a bit I put the istick to 20 watt and when firing it up got a burnt smell and taste guess my coil is wasted now?
What's the best tank I should buy for my istick?
Before with the protank 2 I vaped at 8 watt/3.8 v/1.8ohm.
I am considering a Kanger Subtank Nano or a Aero tank 2.
What do you folks recommend?
Thanks & greets

20W is far too much for a ProTank 2. Yes, the coil is likely burnt now, I doubt you'll be able to get that taste out of it (unfortunately).

A lot of people have been liking the Nautilus Mini or Kanger Subtank Mini/Nano. If you want an airier/more cloudy draw, go with the Subtank. If you want a tighter cigarette-feel, go with the Nautilus.

I recommend the Subtank over the Aero Tank.

Hope that helps!

This sure helps nyiddle, thanks alot!
Guess the coil of the Protank is ready for the bin, I'll replace it.
I haven't looked at the Nautilus yet, I'll do that. The choice will be harder with more tanks to choose from.
Have a great day!

I agree with nyiddle. I have a few Nautilus Mini's and a few of the Subtank Mini's. Loving them both. I vape the Nautilus at 12 to 15 watts and the Subtank Mini 1.2 ohm coils at 15 to 18 watts.

I agree with all of this. The only thing I'd add is: Subtank Mini/Nano > Nautilus > Aero Tank.

I use a istick 30w as my work setup and I really like an aspire atlantis on mine. I go to 30w's and love the vapor and favor.

Eleaf Melo if you want to sub ohm and not break the bank. Nice little tank, lots of flavor, great price. Coils are cheap too. Or if you have a bit more money you can get the subtank mini. Rebuildable deck. The stock coils arent terribly hard to rebuild either. Great option if you like to tinker too or even plan on getting a higher wattage device and want to experiment with say .3 ohm coils.

OT-Are all Sub-tanks airy, loud and you have to lung hit?

I'm a huge fan of the Subtank Minis with the 0.5 ohm coils on my iStick30. They hit like (very tasty) tanks with every decent liquid I've tried!

 

[djsvapour]

The iStick 30w is more accurate than the 20w version, but even without the extra (unplanned, badly controlled) power of the 20w, you might find anything over 8-10 watts too much for a Protank 2.
My opinion comparing Aerotank v.2 to Subtank(s) not using the subohm coil (so, not the 0.5ohms) is that the subtank is superior.
As caferacer says,

1. Subtank (Nano, mini)
2. Nautilus.
3. Aerotank.

In my estimation, unless you want to mouth to lung only, the Aerotank is not the best choice. Actually, I think it is quite inferior. Looks nice ( ) vapes quite nice, but not great coils.

I love my Nautilus minis! Make sure you get the BVC (bottom vertical coil) replacement coils. Much better than BDC (bottom dual coil).

 

[Tony64]

Thanks all for the great info!
Think I'll go for the Subtank Nano, don't really care for rebuilding (yet ;-)) so that has to be the best choice for my iStick 30.
The Protank 2 that I use now has a bit limitations on my mod I think...
