coil builds

[Lincoln Whitby]

Hi guys, new dude here. I'm using the Kanger subtank mini, on the rba deck. I have a few questions, of course.
Firstly, has anyone or is anyone using a dual build on this one ? Is it working well ?
And secondly, what builds are best for cloud-chasing and/or flavour intensity ?
I'm using 26g Clapton and organic cotton.

Thanks in advance

the kanger rba decks are pretty small for a decent dual coil setup

as for cloud chasing, you could do a clapton build, but it won't be as cloudy as someone who uses a dual or triple coil setup

as for flavor, i do a 4/5 wrap spaced, 2.5 mm dia round kanthal at around 12 watts

Hi and welcome to the forum.

You could do a dual coil build on the STM, however there are some disadvantages to it.

First the RBA only has single airflow right in the center. No matter how you'd position your 2 coils, there wouldn't be a firing coil right where you want it: above that hole. This really impacts the flavour.

Second, the juiceholes are on the side, this can complicate proper wicking, and cause leakage.

Third, you'd most likely place the 2 coils parallel into the posts, causing lower resistance and needing more power.

Fourth, you're using clapton, there's not a lot of space in the RBA, you'd end up with 2 rather small coils with narrow ID and little cotton.

I'd get an OBS Crius, Kayfun 4 or Lite Plus 2, UD Zephyrus 2, FeV 3, Orchid v6, GT-T 2, something in that range (only mentioning some that i tried) if you want to go dual-coil.

When using Kanthal i do a single coil build on the STM, 24 Awg, 5 to 6 spaced wraps around ID 3mm, which gives me an average 0.5 Ohm resistance, @25 Watts, tight above the air-hole for max flavour. steam-engine.org/coil.asp is your friend ;-)

Hi and welcome. The STM deck is pretty small for a decent dual build. If that's what you want, I'd suggest getting an RTA. It's a lot easier to do. You don't say what mod you're using it on, but 26ga is also pretty good size for that deck.

Only viable dual coil on an STM RBA is a parallel build (2 seperate wires just like a dual coil). The Subtanks are not super cloud chuckers, they are more flavor with a decent cloud, the RBA is a bit more restrictive as well, it is a tank, designed for out and about. Want massive flavor and massive clouds, look into an RDA.

couldn't get a build on my toptank mini's rba since it broke when I was trying.

If you want a dual coil setup I would suggest looking into an RTA with dual coil option, there are tons of them out there.

The kayfun lite plus is almost the same type of deck (but larger) than the toptank mini's rba...tried doing a dual coil build in there but was too much of a pain.

If you want clouds get an RTA with a velocity style deck...if you want more than dual coils check out the Smok TF RTA G4 deck or the yet to be released Ijoy tornado (6 coil)
