help with sub ohm setup?

i find that those old tanks just dont have enough air flow, and the older coils just dont wick good enough to support the juice wicking fast to keep up with how quick subohm coils burn juice. Definitely wont work in an aerotank, and the aerotank mega is just a janky tank imo. if you want a subohm tank the kanger subtank mini and aspire atlantis are ok for starters. Those new tanks, the coils wont fit in your old clearomizer/tanks, they are different coils.

i mean it was decent for when it came out, but if you want to try to subohm you're going to want something newer. Those old type of coils just dont wick well enough for subohming, and youll probably kill the coils within a day by burning the filler because youd end up taking dry hits a lot. Basically you wont get a good experience out of trying to subohm on old clearomizers. It's possible but wont be anything different from 1.5+ coils, youll just get dryhits more and only be allowed to take real short drags.
the coils are still pre-built coils for the atlantis and subtank, theyre still clearomizer/tanks just different type of coils, but they are pre-made coils still.

1: What is subohming?
2: No......... actually I'm not sure; I assume you are asking if the kanger subtank atomisers will fit in the aerotank; I believe the answer is no, but if kanger did their job right it would have been yes..........
..... wwell, just checked the pack of subtank rba heads I have and they don't fit anything I have but I don't have an aerotank.
They're not fitting the miniprotank/evod thread.
3: Istick 30w is a good setup for new vapers.
you will get 'decent' 'clouds' , but theres more to it than just buying something puffing on it then blowing maaasssive clouds bro.
RDA's are where you want to head if that's what you're aiming for, but youre going to have to do some research to figure it out. There are many threads with info on it in this forum. Gona have to learn ohms law, battery/mod pairings, see which RDA's are good for what you want to achieve, and which juice pg/vg fills your needs.
good luck

Get the rda; it will answer all your questions.
The more watts, the more clouds, but you can end up with too much heat too.
Getting mucho clouds without mucho heat is the good thing.
If you're into the kanger products, the subtank (or atlantis or similar) is what you're looking for. Those old tanks and coils will not perform and you'll just throw it away. I did (protanks, not aerotank)
You'll have to define "clouds".
I use 1.0 ohm coils for the most part in my Lemo between 18-30 watts, and it'd decent, but not gonna keep up with the higher power more exotic setups for sure.

you need one with good airflow to get what you're trying to achieve. im not familiar with the istick, but you also need an ohm-checker, kanthal wire, wicking material. Just do your research and look up on what to do. youtube how to rda or something at least.

For supplies, I started a thread on the subject a while back. Good comments on that (including talk about rayon which works pretty well).

For an RDA, you can pick up something decent - I use a tugboat v2 which is a great all-around RDA - good mix of flavor and vapor, good airflow, easy to build on, single & dual coil support. I learned to build on it and it wasn't too hard. Decks like the plume veil are easier for dual coils because they they have 4 posts instead of 3.

Yes, some RDAs have less airflow, and are more designed for flavor, like the Magma.
Others have a ton of airflow and can make huge clouds like the Doge.
If huge clouds are what you're looking for, a Doge with a Sigelei 100W will surely do it. You will need some wire (26 and 24 gauge would be good for starters). Wick (organic cotton or rayon), an ohm meter, something to wrap coils on like drill bits, wire snippers and some good scissors. A digital multimeter is good to have as well.
Batteries and a charger.

My istick has a ohm reader on it, I know right now it doesn't sub ohm so I would be limited to 1 ohm coils at 20w I'll go check the drippers out and see if they have good airflow then if I like rdas I'll invest in a decent battery
just make sure you dont get the cheapo ones with like 1-2mm tiny airflow. they get hot fast and the airflow is so restricted you wont get any vapor out of it.
I think you should at least have a base understanding of RBAs, what products are out, the basic concepts etc etc before just diving in. I mean sure, I can tell you exactly what to get, Roxy pointed you in a great direction but its more FUN and BETTER FOR YOU if you do research and watch videos. You should be abel to know at least what you want to buy, to many people IMHO want to jump into RDAs and they cant even name a few drippers or tell me about batteries.
First, read all blogs by Baditude about batteries EVEN if you do not currently use them due to having an istick. Second, youtube has some GREAT videos that will get you into the world of dripping. Lastly though my friend, if you use a regulated mod you will get a better vape (IMO) with a .8-1.5ohm coil then an extremely super sub ohm coil like a .25ohm one. You can create clouds the same size with a higher ohm coil on a regulated mod as you can with a lower ohm one. I was using my Dark Horse RDA with a .9ohm coil today at the vape store and the production was better then my friend running the same atty at a .3ohm on the same box. My coil had more wick to wire which is good. Have fun my friend, this is fun.

You can run higher ohm coils at higher voltages with regulated boxes and force the wattage and if your gear is set up properly you still should not get a burnt hit. I was using a Sig 100w Plus at 85w with that .9 ohm coil I spoke about earlier and my vape was a tad warm which I enjoy but other than that she kept up. Thats the best thing about drippers IMO. Another thing I love is how a "cloud atty" can (IMHO) be turned into a flavour atty by shutting down the air flow. I get some of the BEST flavour EVER with a Dark Horse RDA these days.
The prebuilt Subtank coils are the square ones as pictured above. The rebuildable is cylindrical.
Alright I went an bought a omega rda anyone know about these? It fires for like 2 seconds on my istick then says protection and stops.. do the 3 screws need to be screwed down all the way? It came with two little wicks so I put cotton all around them to make sure there's a lot of juice so the coil doesn't burn
Hey Dennon,
check out the following sub forums, you`ll find allot of info, tips and tricks and it will be much quicker for you then trying to walk you through this one post at a time, :?)
RDA
Coil Builds
Rebuildable Atomizer Systems
Have fun.
PS, the Omega is a good stater RDA, it`ll get you started and help you start to make decisions on where you want to go with subbing.
