Nice write up Q. This should be bookmarked for sure.

Q ~ Outstanding job. We are very lucky having you part of the family. Sophia Rocks!

 

[V4Vendetta]

I run a similar setup as Q except my coil sits higher as I mount it in the cup with the drill bit on the coil and my coil is probably a bit smaller. 1.5mm diameter micro coil on 28 awg mated with 32 awg NR. Run the cotton down the side to the bottom of the cup (like Ithaka wicks).

That is a kick ace set up Q! I'm definitely going to try this in my Sophias tonight...thx!

 

[chadsmo]

I've got one of these in mine right now

If you don't feel like watching the video it's basically a micro coil with ribbon wire where you overlap the ribbon.

Nice write-up Q, thanks for taking the time!!

I've had my first for a bit now and love it. I'll probably order another in the coming months with the long built in drip tip.

Billi , can you PLEASE consider making a steel tank for the slim tank. Even if it was a limited production run to test the waters and gauge interest. If you did I would probably buy two of them. On the side in a nice large font with maybe a deep engraving similar to the GG stuff you could do a By Leo. I happen to think it would look amazing and I think it would sell very well. Basically I just want my Sofia to look like a Penelope / Euforia, the all steel thing is popular for a reason. Perhaps even a small clear window to see the juice control but I don't think it needs it.

Sure, it's a great idea! I 'll check it out

 

[Billie-cig]

Q, that was awsome! Thank you! It will also help in details

Another update BTW, I checked with Fedex. they gave a 21 euro minimum per order.Going for the next one!

After reading these thread for a couple of days, pulled the trigger and ordered a slim tank and Sophia. You guys make it hard to
resist

Let's see if you can resist a second.

Getting close. The USPS is crying no money. And it shows.

Awesome, thanks Billi I look forward to your findings! Let us (me first lol) know.

you won't regret it!!

qorax, just got 28g Kanthal A-1 in the mail, and tried your setup in my Killer in the SnP with the new SS tube, as an alternative Pluid Machine, now that it looks like my 3rd Ithaka with SS window has been devoured by USPS Sorting Facility Gremlins.

Great. Freaking. Vape.

Better than dual coil, my last config.

CAUTION:
It's not your ability to make sub-Ohm coils ~ what matters most is what batteries you use to run it. For sub-Ohms you must have 10Amps or higher discharge rate, else it could be disastrous. Higher the better ~ eg. the 30Amps Sony linked above.

DISCLAIMER:
It is recommended to use a coil having resistance of 1Ω and above. Sub-Ohm resistances are not recommended for any user of any device. Because, not every battery currently in the market can safely sustain / handle such loads. Even an experienced user cannot always be certain / confident of the Amp limit of his batteries.

Great write-up and photos, but I'm (not so) young and dumb, and am trying to learn? I am slowly understanding the relationship between volts, ohms, and watts. But I do not yet understand the wide range of watts people are vaping at? Granted, the current gear I am vaping with is not the best, but at anything over like 8 watts my juice tastes worse/burnt, not-so-good... Depending on mood, juice, and whatnot I seem to bounce between 6 -8 watts most all of the time. So by going sub-ohm - what exactly is the goal? And, in 'watts', in this example, what are/were you vaping at?

 

[Jojobo]

Peter, I am with you...I don't really understand the need or love of sub ohms...my hubs on the other hand...hmmm....he likes it. Of course I don't vape tobacco juice either so I am not sure if that plays into it at all.
I usually vape between 9-11 watts which is usually 1.2-1.5 ohm coil on a mechanical device.

Usually, sub ohms are used for very thick liquids.VG is a lot thicker that PG so when you vape heavy VG liquids you need more heat to vaporise them.Of course if you try the same setup with PG, you will taste burnt because the rate of vaporising the liquid will be faster than the rate thet the wick replenishes.As for the "relationship" between ohm,volts watts: With a few words ,watts are the result of volts, Ohms and Amps. For more details, here is a link with the calculator and all the mathematical calculations and information you may need.
also here is the volt-ohm chart :

8 Watts is a usual watt reading for e-cigs so you are in the right place
Of course, other people will offer extra info as well

Awesome, thanks Billi I look forward to your findings! Let us (me first lol) know.

We checked it out
Since quartz-pyrex tubes must be a bit thicker (so the don't break when you cough) we can fit them only on our GV telescopic tank and the new 22mm tank we will release.But we will make SS 304 tubes for the D-Base tank and slim tank so they will be safe and unbreakable

Fantastic ! Whenever those are done I'll order one with a slim tank.
