Just got my sigelei 150w

[pownstar69]

Just got my sigelei 150w plus a kangertech subtank plus on a 0.6 ohm coil, needless to say this set up is beast! However one question how the hell do people vape above 40 watts it just tastes what I can only describe as burnt dog .... to me ?? How do they do it even sub ohm I can't do it? Is it the juice I use? Completly confused ?

The subtank gives an awesome vape for a tank, but to make use of all that power you just purchased you need a good RDA. I don't think there are any tanks that can handle much over 30 or 40 watts. Others will be along to chime in or correct me

 

[pownstar69]

I am new to this tank it takes a bit of getting used to its so different to the aspire, how do you mean I need a good rda?

He's referring to a Rebuildable Drip Atomizer. You can build pretty low coils on them to really take advantage of the power the Sigelei offers.

I personally enjoy my Sigelei with the Mutation X RDA, great airflow and pretty painless to build.

To vape with higher power you need massive airflow and fast wicking to keep the coil(s) cool (among other things). IMHO, most tanks just don't have the ability to provide enough airflow.

You can build pretty low coils on them to really take advantage of the power the Sigelei offers.

With regulated, high power mods like the Sigelei and the SMY180 you don't need to build super low to use their power. Steam engine actually has a section on it (http://www.steam-engine.org/modrange.asp) which will show you the sweet spot for maximum power for your mod

Hi,

It could be that the juice you are using is too thick? I used a 50/50 blend juice on a subtank mini at 40 watts with no "burnt" taste (unless i'm chain vaping, i'll get a burnt hit around the 4th or 5th hit)

 

[pownstar69]

Optimal resistance
Resistance range for maximum power 150 W 0.1 – 0.482 Ω
Median resistance 0.213 Ω
Sweet spot 0.347 Ω
When it says sweet spot is that based on a curtain wattage?

My current is showing 0.6 is the subtank in rda good or is it pretty much the same as having a coil in?

 

[pownstar69]

Plus the juice I use is 50/50

To utilize more power you'll need to build a lower ohm coil. I don't know what a Kanger Subtank can handle as far as subohming goes. I have a .3 ohm dual coil build in my Mutation X on top of my Sigelei which is pushing 60+ watts.

How often do you have to drip on that rda? What has the biggest well to not have to drip every 3 drags etc?

It varies. On my MX I drip ten drops and get five to seven drags before my wicks are dry. If I take shorter drags I can pull ten or so times before a redrip. On my Tobh, I "paint" my wicks and get about the same vape time. Both have moderately deep juice wells.

Edit: You should check out the Aeolus. It may sound more like your cup of tea. You can dump a good amount of eliquid into that since the airflow comes from the top.

 

[pownstar69]

I will check that one out I'll check out the mutation x, I have also just seen tobh and a cats one, the more I am using the subtank plus the more I am starting to dislike it, it's giving me a horrible cough, I have airflow on the smallest cause the biggest is just too much

Even though the Subtank is sub-ohm, its limited by the size gauge of wire used for its coil. And I think that 40 Watts is way to much for the coil (I am assuming your using the OCC coils). If you are using the replaceable OCC coils, look on the side of them, they will have what resistance they are and what recommended wattage to vape them at.
I have a Subtank Mini and the 0.5 ohm OCC coil is upto 22 or 24 watts (if I remember correct). So you may want to look into this, enless you like burnt dog vapes!! just a suggestion!

 

[pownstar69]

Thanks for that I would have never seen that says between 15-30W I'll try 15 and work my way from there but this cough it is giving me is awful but I don't know if it's just so different to what I am use to

 

[MoDmAnDaN]

I have two Sig 150s and three Kanger Subtanks and yes, 40 is to much for the pre-built coils 28 watts seems to be my sweet spot with 80/20 ratio juices. The only other "tank" I use is the Joytech Delta 2 and because they have better juice flow, I can vape them at 40watts.

 

[pownstar69]

I feel like I new vapour again! So going rda is a whole new ball park

Chiming in here!! The Maganus tank by Vapeston wil handle 150w with the 0.5Ω coil installed. It's just me that can't handle the 150w!! 75w is really nice on it.

 

[Nacholad]

I also have taken a liking to the mutation x. Though I recently bought a new rdA that had a much larger well and amazing airflow from the posts as well. Highly reccommend the doge as well

There are certainly lots of RDAs with large juice wells! Currently, I own a Magma RDA (which is a bit old school now...). If take off the top cap, coat my cotton with juice, and then fill up the juice well, I can puff on it for about 15 minutes! Honestly, the only people who are having to redrip every 3-4 drags are those that run very high wattage or people with older RDAs. Here are some other RDA's with deep juice wells. I will state that the Magma is likely the most noob friendly RDA, but here is a list of some newer designs:

Marquis RDA
Veritas RDA
The Big Dripper V2 (an authentic product that costs only $60! It has the steepest learning curve out of all these RDAs though.)
Doge V2 (more for clouds, but should be quite easy to build! By the authentic, it's cheap anyway lol)
Kennedy RDA (The authentic is a bit pricey, but I have yet to see reviews on the clones.)

I hope this helps put you in the right direction!

I very much enjoy my Infinite clt3 at 95-120 watts. At that wattage I get 10 good drags before I get even a hint of a dry hit. The capacity an RDA can hold is based a little on the juice well and alot in how well its been wicked up.
