New here and already a Question about the Subtank Mini

[Molchi]

First at all:

Hi, my Name is Peter, i'm from Germany and i'm new to the Forum. I vape since November last Year, i vape only MTL on a nautilus and a Subtank Mini, and there I already have a Question.

Sometimes the STM feels a bit airy for me, so i browsed the Web and found that there was an older Version of the STM with a 1-sided Airflow. Now i thought that 1 side = tighter than the new 2-sided. Is this thought true? And if yes is it possible to still get the old Base anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

Howdy and welcome
An easy way to see if you’d even like the old base I’d to plug up one side with a piece of tape or chewing gum or something and give it a try

 

[Molchi]

Thats what I already did, and it felt ok, the problem is that i don't know how big the holes on the old ones are, cause if they are double the size then it would be almost the same i think

Not sure v1 or v2 but one of the old bases is like this

 

[Molchi]

Yeah that helps i guess. This should be the V1, the 1 hole is as big as the 2. on the V2, so it should be almost the same, time to try to tighten it up at the inside airhole under the coil then

Thanks a lot

 

[Beamslider]

The v3 ones can be closed a lot. Slot on both sides but you can make them very small.

 

[Molchi]

Do you have a FT-Link? Seems i am too stupid to find them

The toptank and subtank have interchangeable bases.

 

[Molchi]

Thank you so much, didn't think about that

 

[Beamslider]

You're welcome. Actually a nicer base...It is a few mm shorter

 

[Molchi]

Yes looks nice, think at this price i will try it, i was about to tighten the airhole under the Coil with cable end sleeves, but putting on a new base is so much easier

Hello Peter, welcome to ECF. Glad you found the solution. Beamslider is great at helping with such things.

So maybe get some JB weld and permanently fill the holes?

Hello and welcome to ecf

 

[Bonskibon]

If one hole is too much air for you.. you can still close it off to half a hole if you need to.

Hi you are getting excellent advice so I will just say welcome. I hope the solution works out well for you. I don't love fiddling with airflow all the time either, so hopefully the new base will work out better for you. Best of luck, and welcome

Wooden Tooth Picks can work wonders sometimes when it comes to Air Inlet Holes.
