Tried a test on the new Subtank coils against the older coils.Both coils where .5.On two Subox's at 25w and filled with Trifle heaven and (drum roll please).The older coils are way better,used the both of them for at least two hours,just in case the newer ones needed longer to break in.The older ones give a lot more flavour

Hopefully Kangertech will make some changes to the newer coils.Just in case I ordered a white Subox and two packs of 1.2 coils from Sweet Vapes

Sent whilst eating humble pie
Glad you didn't order any of the 1.5 vertical ones! I'm hoping they'll change my order to the original 1.2ohm OCC ones. (The white Subtank is on a different order).
I put Doughnut King in two Subtank minis with one of each coils ..no contest! :)

Ah - so you stick an 18650 in it - but which ones? Got a few left over from vamo/lavatube days. I doubt that they'll be up to it.
And if you like to vape,say, a 1.8 ohm coil on 4.2 volts, what temp would that be? (Told you I was a tootle-puffer!). You need all sorts of new coils too? OMG! :)

One or Two 18650`s, depending on which mod you buy, The SMY50TC does take two. I use the Sony VTC 4`s pipe, From HERE

TC mods work totally differently to the mods you are used to mate, so as Bob pointed out a while back, you would put the mod on it`s highest watts, then you adjust the temp to your liking, usually somewhere between 400-440 ° :)

Hope everyone's having a great weekend.

I've slowed down on the tablet taking, I don't like feeling constantly light headed and sleepy. So now, I'm just coping with the back pain and popping pills when it gets too much. My finger is healing up nicely though, so that's a bonus :D

On the vape side. Nothing in the mail and I think my last FT order may have gone missing, but I'll wait a bit longer before chasing it up.

I have ordered quite a few new enclosures though for box mods, which should arrive on Monday. Also a "breadboard" so I can draft out some new ideas I have for regulated devices. I've been looking at PWM modules, lipo battery builds and even MCU builds. I can use the breadboard to do a test fit for my ideas before soldering everything up in an enclosure.

Can't sit for much longer at the laptop though, that's the only downside still at the moment.

Time to get your feet up Ian, and kick back mate. Thats if it`s not too painful. :(

Well Terry's being doing well with the answers, thought I better put in my :2c: if you build your own coils then you will need Ni-200 wire, 28 or 29 AWG is probably a good one to start with, but you won't be aiming for 1.8 ohm, but more like 0.1 ohm, and as Terry said ignore the volts or wattage - just ramp it up to full and then use the Temperature to adjust the vape, normally 400-450°F is what you would need, it will alter the wattage applied to keep the vape regulated and stop dry hits and cotton burning if it runs out of juice

Hiya Bob,

I did mean to mention about the NI wire etc, but forgot. :lol: I`m not sure if pipe builds his own though, preferring to buy ready mades.

Aspire Triton

Apparently, Aspire is releasing a new tank tomorrow - rebuildable, or coils at .3 .5 and 1.8

Aspire - Aspire Triton

I lost my affection for the Nautilus as the coils were unpredictable for consistency and the tanks could gurgle at times - hopefully we'll see some reviews before too long.

Ah well, if @e-pipeman doesn't coil, then his only options tankwise are the Subtanks, Nautilus & Mini and Atlantis, coils for the latter ones are only available through Vaporshark, but retailed over here.

Yes, not an awful lot of choice out there ATM !

It'll hold half a dozen tanks, if you take the basket out, and when you empty it a quick wipe round with a tea towel does the job.

I actually read the instructions for once Bob :laugh:
Says it is more efficient without the basket,do you ever bother putting a few drops of washing up liquid in?
