After a few more emails, I can tell you, they have increased the airflow on the Starre Pro, increased it more, :shock:
The temp coils also use dual Nickel NI200 sensing wire and the same medical grade ... organic cotton at 0.15ohm.
I have to tell the wife I need a temp control mod now, oh dear..

Seems like a snowWolf is needed

Ordered myself a SnowWolf 200w temp control box mod so at least I can tell you how the Starre Pro's temp coils are when I open the new thread :thumbs:

Shes a beauty ..

Freemax will have two options of nickel coils.

.15 ohm coil = Dual Vertical Coil
.25ohm coil = Single Vertical Coil

I'll hopefully be ordering my Snow Wolf 200W and Starre Pro by the end of next week.

I didn't mention the single coil as I'm loving the dual atm.
Should be a great setup, I'll be giving my views on the SnowWolf tomorrow when it turns up. My only concern is the weight of it but we'll see.

starre tank is one of the best tanks on the market now, def better than aspire atlantis (excellent vapor production, muted flavor), kanger subtank (subtank, mini, both leaked or broke on me, wont be buying kanger for a while), vct pro (great looking tank, but the vapor and flavor wasn't as good as the freemax starre), haven't tried the atlantis 2 since i am really happy with the freemax tank

i think atlantis has the best tank design but freemax starre... i haven't gotten a dry hit since... my first pull, main reason i got it :)

Same, it just works so good, really looking forward to getting the pro version, dry hits on the kanger coils happened a lot, never had a dry hit or a coil flood with this one, nothing. It's awesome..

My finger is twitching over the fire button on (what I assume) a V1 for £20....

Has anyone rebuilt the coils successfully?
Personally I'd spend the extra and get the pro, never thought to rebuild them as they last so long and are great in flavour, if the rest of the coils last as long as the first on then a 5 pack of coils will last, 17 weeks

The Pro has more airflow right? I thought it had a bucket-ton of airflow already?

Yes, from an email, I was told it has even more airflow, I thought that though, geez, it already had the biggest airflow of all the tanks. Can't say for sure until my pre-ordered one comes..

You sig is so cool btw , move along, move along :thumb:

I've taken one apart. They are an engineering marvel that would be EXTREMELY difficult to replicate.

They are spaced coils and not microcoils, and the dual coils are wrapped together rather than one on top of the other.

This is about the best picture I can find of one. Notice how the two separate wires are coiled together, and the spacing between each wrap...

That would be a nightmare to replicate. I can't imagine being able to do that by hand and avoiding shorts.

The UK may do something like that but it ain't gonna happen in the US. The US will go after nicotine and juices, but there isn't a government body that has the authority to ban or regulate electronic devices that don't contain nicotine at the time of sale. They could regulate prefilled cartomizers, bottles of juice, and nicotine solution, but not mods, empty tanks, or coils.

Ive been looking at the starre for a while now. So far my arctic is my favorite between my subtank mini and isub. When i get the money i plan to get an evic-vt and the starre pro. Juice guzzling isnt going to be a concern for me any longer. Ive got all the stuff i need to diy my own juice in the mail. If everything i hear is right about the starre it should be phenominal, especially with the revisions from the original.

I just break the coil down carefully torch the original coil and rewick with kohgendo.

Use this tutorial for the Atlantis to completely disassemble the coil, but reuse the original coil instead of building a new one.


I have even tried using nickel in like this but vapor and flavor sucked and got the tank hot. I'd like to see if a stock nickel coil uses fused resistance/non resistance wire aswell

The real problem is they use resistance non resistance wire so it will never vape right using straight kanthal. That's why I just rewick. Works great.
