Does anyone know what RDAs are compatible with the sub box mini? I've been vaping for about six months and am looking to spread my wings into the rda. I'm looking at the mutation x v4, will this rda work on my mod?

Also, keep in mind that the Subox will only fire 0.3 ohms and above. Its very easy to build <0.3 ohm on an RDA, especially when doing dual coil builds.
As far as size, 22mm diameter, so it fits flush with the mod, 510 connection and you're good to go!!!

Thanks that's what I've seen and read while researching around on this RDA. I've received alot of good other recommendations on RDAs I hadn't seen to, so I have lots more things to consider and look at...haha I like the cigarette ticker I haven't had a cigarette the whole time I've switched to vaping and it's great.

Vape on! I've noticed I've been able to run again, and don't run out of breath just walking up hills. Not to mention the flavor...all the FLAVORS, haha.

Haha seriously in the military we run damn near everyday so it's definitely nice to not be dying at the end of a run, and yes the flavors are pretty ridiculous...I'm impatiently waiting to try the new cosmic fog streak.

I use the mutation v3 glass cap with my sub box mini. It works well and is really easy to build on. I do a .5 ohm build with dual coil twisted 26 guage kanthal. It gives a good balance of cloud and flavor. The standard mutation x v3 deck is big and gives good room to work but there is also a mutation XL V3 with a monster size deck if you need more room

When it comes to the kanthal is there a preference? 24, 26?

Just wanted to let you know, my son just joined the Marines. He just shipped out to Paris Island 2 days ago.

For drippers around .2 ohms, I prefer 24 gauge. for tanks, I prefer 26 (.5-.8 ohms) or 28 gauge(1.0-1.6 ohms) depending on the tank. for things like protank 2's, or stardusts, I have some 32 gauge. I have some ribbon wire on the way, and I've yet to experiment with anything like clapton coils, or some exotic ones... but I don't think I'm really into the exotic coils to be honest. Those are my preferences.

varies depending on the build you are trying to do - there is an excellent tool/ calculator at Steam Engine | free vaping calculators that helps you figure out what you are doing in regards to coil building... it is also going to depend on whether you are doing a dual coil build on your rda - for example, on my mutation x v3 right now, i have a dual coil build using 26g kanthal with 6 wraps each wrapped around a 3mm post - ohms out around .4 for the dual build

Sounds awesome, I've been doing this for what will be 12 years july 21st. I have enjoyed most of my time..haha but only in the military will you get to see things normal people wouldn't I don't regret any of the time I've spent. And thanks for the info much appreciated

It actually surprised me. I smoked a pack per day, and it's been over 2 years since my last cigarette. The ticker reads over 16,000 cigarettes avoided.... the money isn't the thing that shocks me most, it's the idea that if I took 10 minutes to smoke a cigarette, that's 160,000 minutes... or 111 days of straight smoking and no sleep or anything else....

I got my banner from here:

Got it so smaller kanthal smaller ohm builds. Thanks for all the responses


Well, I don't like to use the term "smaller ohm".. it gets confusing. the higher the gauge number, the thinner the wire gets. The gauge number, from what I understand, is from jewelry making, where they would pull silver through ever so smaller holes. The 32 gauge meant it was pulled through smaller holes 32 times.. thus, it's a very small and thin wire.

Ohms is a measure of resistance.. the higher the number, the more the wire resists electricity passing through it and converts it to heat. So, a smaller wire will get hotter with less electricity. The problem is, smaller wire means less area that gets hot. So, people usually use thicker wire that resists electricity less, and requires more power to get hot.

This is where Ohms law comes into play. I think of the good ole fashioned water pipe scenario. Volts is the speed of the water, watts is the quantity of water, and ohms is how much the pipe resists the water.. or.. the pipe diameter.

So, if you wanted one gallon per minute (10 watts for example) running through a 1" pipe (1 ohm), the speed the water travels will automatically be determined (3.16 volts). Take a look at an Ohms Law Calculator to give you an idea.
