Low ohm builds on a Kanger Subtank Mini?

[BornRuffian]

I have the Subtank Mini and have been using only the pre-built 0.5ohm coils, but I was wondering if a lower resistance coil could be achieved using the rba deck.

Has anyone experimented with different resistances on the deck?

What were the specs on the coil (wire gauge, coil diameter, # of wraps etc.)? How did it work out?

The lowest resistance coils I've tried on my Subtank Mini are .3ohm. My non-expert opinion would be that as long as you're using a battery that can safely handle lower ohms, it would be technically fine... I believe I used 28ga kanthal, and I think it was 4 or 5 wraps...? I'm pretty sure diameter was 5/64".

Edit: In terms of quality of vape, it was good. Not a tremendous difference in flavor, but I am getting surprisingly gigantic clouds off of it.

I have the iStick 50W so firing the lower ohms won't be a problem. How many watts did you usually run the 0.3ohm builds at?

I usually build mine a build higher in the ohm range. More wire surface area usually means more vapor/flavor if you can run enough power through it to heat the extra wire. That's why I like VV/VW boxes. You can really tailor your vaping experience to how you like it that what. I also prefer to build vertical coils in the RBA. Tends take a longer time and can be a huge pain(wicking it right is hard), but their is virtually no air restriction that way if you build with a coil diameter 3-3.5mm.
