No. But that is a kit that ships with .5 ohm coils. Probably the battery is optimum for those coils
You can try playing around with the airflow on the tank. Lower airflow is usually better taste. Can't change the wattage though so not a lot of flexibility with the device.
I did that and you're right, less air is better. But still flat taste. Oh well, will have to wait for new coils.
Taste, flavor and coils are totally subjective. With that said, you started on the 0.5 coil, and often, what we start with tends to be preferred, I agree with Beamslider on the airflow settings, that may help you, though your coils may not be tasting good not due to their resistance, but because you can't adjust the wattage downward, so they may be giving you poor flavor, and even burning your coil and juice more rapidly.
Can you take the coils that you haven't used back? Also, ordering authentic coils online can be less expensive, so since you know you like the 0.5 coil in that tank and on that power source, you might be able to purchase them more cheaply (often in 5 or 10 packs) and have a store of them for when you need them.
Best of luck, and welcome to ECF.

I feel they are wrong.
The point of the subvod is to vape using the set power of the battery (3.7v) combined with the resistance of the atomizer (0.5ohms). That makes a vape up to about 27 watts.
Two words combined (sub-ohm and evod) make the word Subvod.
If you put a 1.2 or 1.5ohm in it, then lower vapor = lower taste. However, if you could set the tank to minimal airflow and use a slimmer drip tip, you could mimic a mouth-to-lung inhale e-cig which some people like just as much. A tighter dispersion of flavor onto the tongue can taste just as good.
Not necessarily, but what lower ohms will do is provide higher power (watts) at the same voltage. Since the SubVod is non-adjustable, it's only going to output one voltage and so, at that voltage, the lower-ohm coil will push more watts, which vaporizes more juice. It's not rocket science, the larger volume of vapor simply delivers more flavor molecules to your taste buds. However, with a different device, you'd be able to adjust the power setting independently, so it could ramp the voltage up (boost) or down (buck) on either coil, such that it's pushing the same wattage through either one. In that case, the difference might not be so pronounced.
Give the coils a little while to break in. That fresh cotton taste might be masking your flavor a little.
So, thought I'd share some observations after using the new coils for a few days. Both coils used with tiny airflow open...about a quarter.
1.5 ohm nichrome coils are bleh.....no flavour, no clouds, just hard work. Am wondering, can I test them on my incoming Ijoy Captain? Would they perform better? How many watts should I try at?
1.2 ohm nichrome coils are average, again flavour is an issue...you can taste most juices from a distance but not so pronounced.
I ended up ordering 0.5 ohm nichrome again.

Yeah its more about preference, he probably suggested the tight draw coils because thats what most smokers prefer to quit with to mimic smoking with then move on to sub ohm. Or because of battery life... I'd go through a subvod battery fast at 0.5 ohm
Yeah, I go through maybe 7000mAh in that time and only vape 3.2v/15w on simular coil lol.. heavy vapor. I got a 0.5ohm SS Kanger SSOC coil in my new kit and read like 0.72ohm or something so you may notice a difference with each. They have always been hit or miss with coils... like they add a extra wrap or two by mistake quite often. If the RBA sold separately fits the Nano tank I'd look into that when your ready... you can build some twisted higher awg/ohm coils that will taste better, preform just as good and use less power.
Yeah, pretty sure thats what comes with it. SubVod Mega is the Mini tank.
Correct. Alas, there is also a Subvod Mega that comes with Toptank mini (22 mm). If that's what the OP has, RBA will fit. *sigh*
Kanger is really terrible at naming their products. Always has been. OCC coils? Then SSOCC??? Seriously, Kanger? And then it turns out that ss refers to the coil body, not the wire used, so maybe they should now start renaming them again: SSSSOCC, NiSSOCC, etc...
I really don't know how new vapers are supposed to figure anything out. It's so bloody confusing.

Super confusing. Mine is the normal subvod...I'm not even sure what tank it is...toptank, or toptank nano or toptank mini.
And choosing coils was a nightmare...they have kanthal, steel, ceramic. Ni-something, Ni-something else....
Check the diameter of the battery (and tank), If it's 19 mm (or so), it's a Nano. If 22 mm, it's a Toptank mini.
I feel your pain. Kanthal is used in power mode. Stainless steel can be used in both power and Temperature Control mode (TC). Ni and Ti--only in TC. Don't even bother with them. The only coils you can use are Kanthal and/or ss. Stick with Kanthal coils.
Maybe this video will help you?
Good luck!
