I look for the 1.2Ω to be on sale :- )

Could well happen, Kent. But I think the 0.5 won't be, as they're still fine for chasers. And while many of my tubes won't go down to 1.2, they are easy to rebuild higher. Easier than the Kanger single bottom coils, and they're pretty easy as well.

That's why I restricted the post to 1.2Ω :) But yeah... there's a widening of recognition of m2l vs lung inhale and the market has and will continue to adjust to that. I wouldn't be surprised to see 1.8Ω OCCs at some point... ie. for the Subtank - there already is for the T3S and the Aerotank stuff.

I saw that. They've already listed white too. But did you see the shipping date? June 30th. Ouch. That's an eternity to a bunch of overgrown, mature teens like us. However, we do control the checkbook and I also saw that YUMMY RED defender ...

I just saw the shipping on the white kit - June 18, so yeah.. most likely others will have them sooner but maybe not at that price. HG is high on the kit and the parts which puzzles me.

I'll be looking for the 1.5Ω OCC replacement coils - so far haven't seen anyone who sells them, even though they are selling the new Subtank and KBox mini separately now. If someone spots the 1.5Ω coils, give me a heads up :- )

I havent sen anyone selling the new blk/wh subtank mini's separate yet, where ya see that... I NEED a black one lol

Kent, what about the 1.2? Any dry hits? Never bought a Subtank in the first place because of the airy draw. I'm a tootle puffer of sorts, I like my ohms low but restrictive airflow. Even the GS air, the first days after using it (the old model with the screw) I found it too airy. Not to mention the new GSM!
I'm going to give them a try with Ni coils first...

I have a 1.2 in my subtank nano at all times and have never had a dry hit. I do use 50/50 though.

The new subtank has a smaller one hole that is better than the earlier version - I like the restricted airflow as well and I've used that setting although you can restrict it even further going between that setting and do a 'half a hole' :) It's what I do on the GS Air M's and have three holes (out of four) scotched taped off on the Lemo lol....

I have not had dry hits on the 1.2ohm from the earlier Subtank but I had teeth shattering pops from the 0.5ohm coils from 'cold starts' each time. Phil said 'add more cotton' but that didn't fix it. Didn't have that with the 1.2ohm or the 1.5 on the new one.

I sometimes fill the holes with loose paper towel balls. When washed they go away and you can even push them in with a toothpick...

Consider this your "GRAB!". This weekend, we're shopping some of those recent sales/savings (and this absolutely-horrific week) away. They don't call it a Fun-Fund for nothin'!

I need it bad.
(...and yes, I'm talking mods here!)

@Katya: THANKS FOR THE EASY-SELECTION PICS!

The only decision we are to make, @Katdarling, is "2 purple" or "1 purple, 1 blue". And I might not even be up for that much, so you just might have to wrack your pretty head all by yo'self. Sorry, but I'm "decisioned" out. If you asked me right now though, I'd say, "Two - purples, please."

With maybe a Subber on the side, thrown in for good measure.

:smokie::vapor::party:

Laterz, gatorz...

Purple Blue, Blue Purple. Heads....... you win. (Tails, you win as well.) :D

The weekend, we begin the decision making process, Pard. And that may very well turn out to be no decision at tall. ;)

Sorry hon, but my pretty head is wracked beyond wracked, too. We'll figgur it out tho. I garran-tee it.

Love,

George~


Can you imagine what a green would have looked like?

I love your love for the green, aik! We've GOT to find you something hot in green.......

ummmm.......lemme think......

Well, peeps. The latest mini mod to hit the shelves in the States is HCIGAR's HB Mini. It stands at 87mm x 39mm x 23mm. Has an easily replaceable 18650. It steps down to 1.7V for the low-wattage vapers and runs up to 9V/30W. At $32.99, not a bad choice for those who don't need/want greater than 30W or temperature limiting.

HB mini-HCigar VW MOD-Shenzhen Hcigar Technology Co., Ltd

Hcigar HB Mini 30 Watt

There aren't many reviews out yet. This is the one I found most helpful. Good Luck!



Yaay, alden!!!!!!!! Always on top of it! Here, have a (H) cigar.




Woah ho! Good job on those finds.

I neglected to say that I want the black waves Defender. And sadly (sniff sniff) I can not find one anymore. Oh fooey.


That's why I restricted the post to 1.2Ω :) But yeah... there's a widening of recognition of m2l vs lung inhale and the market has and will continue to adjust to that. I wouldn't be surprised to see 1.8Ω OCCs at some point... ie. for the Subtank - there already is for the T3S and the Aerotank stuff.

Me too...and...me neither...

It seems the new 36Watt Defenders do NOT offer the "black waves" choice. And the sites that still have the 25Watt Defender for sale are all OOS for the Black Waves... :shock:

The technical name is "peacock" finish. (Let me know, too -- I :wub: mine and wouldn't mind a spare, especially if it's the pre-36 watt version)

Vaping Greek unveiled the mystery of the black piece of sticky that comes in the Subox kit... It's not to wrap your driptip, it's to wrap your battery in in case it's some other color to show through the cutout on the K vent!!! Thanks Dimitris!!!

It's been in almost every 'unboxing' video except Phil's. 3:35 into the first one I posted here:
