For those of you who are new to the Subtank mini, you might like to try the Aspire "Replacement" BVC (non nautilus) coils OR the ProTank 2 coils. Both fit without modding.
I do use and rebuild horizontally the Subtank coils because going vertical is an effort in frustration for me. The RBA is also easy to do. However, I like having the options the other coils give me.....The ProTank 2's I do rebuild with 30 Kanthal and cellu cotton.

Like many times.
Good morning, Porchers! I hope everyone slept well and is poised for another blessed day -- as we all are, having been able to give up stinkies, by vaping!
@bigbells, were you able to find the report from the CDC to which Motley Fool referred? I was unsuccessful ... If you do/did, will you please post a link? TY!
@Rotowoman, lucky you, that you aren't a bit nervous about coil wrapping! I was a wreck! The few tools I use are a coil winder, itty screwdrivers (for tightening down), ceramic tweezers ('cuz I fiddle with the coil while pulsing), and a little wire cutter thingy or nail clippers. And a magnifying glass, cuz I can't see what I'm doing. I test my coil on a regulated mod, so even though I have an ohm meter, I don't use it. Oh, wait. Not entirely true. I use it as a stand
@Kenna, thanks again. Order in
My almost 82 year old Dad arrives, this morning, for Thanksgiving. He's got energy enough for the next 10 people! I'll be lurking more than anything else. Didn't want folks to think I'd gone missing, again!

If and when I find it, I'll post it. I read a lot of articles on electronic cigarettes at the CDC website and skimmed through a lot more, concentrating on articles published within the past 2 years. The only thing I found that even remotely resembled the spirit of the things that Motley Fool said were said by the CDC was a fairly recent Dr Faralinos letter advising against reactionary prohibitions of vaping paraphernalia. Nowhere did I find anything positive published by the CDC itself.

Good morning, Birdie! Enjoy your goodies, & especially Thanksgiving with your Dad!
Nevertheless...
Didn't know dat, thanx!
I have sum non-Nauty heads I purchased by mistake a while ago. Fate?
me too, super thirsty yesterday and today. I wonder if it's cuz I turned the heat up. I always drink a lotta water, but it's just not quenching my thirst yesterday and today.
Have any of you used the Kanger subtank mini V2 rba deck and could you give me suggestions and thoughts on them. I was perfectly happy with the old ones once I learned how to use them and had no problems whatsoever. Just wondering about the large holes on the sides now and how you go about wicking so you don't get any flooding.
Can you explain the difference. I just got my subtanks recently so I might well have the V2.
EDIT: The holes on the sides of mine are big. I haven't had any flooding issues doing the wicking like Rip trippers described in his video on building what I assume is the V1. The cotton ends up covering the holes on the inside quite well.
The only time I see anything resembling flooding I suspect is me filling the tank too full and some getting in the air channel. Right after I fill it I get a couple of drops that seep out of the air flow adjustment holes. A quick wipe and that is done with until the next time I fill the tank so it is not an issue for me really.

As mentioned get one the those coil masters few of them around, some wire , something to cut the wire , ohm meter or a reg mod.
Something to hold the coil in place when securing it to the atty.
Sometimes you can use the coil tool and sometimes you can't depending on the particular tool and the atty.
Decide on what resistance you want - single or dual coil , gauge and type of wire you're using.
Use the steam engine site or other site or app to find out the wraps you need for that wire and diameter.
Depending on the tool you get choose the diameter for the build, thread in some wire and start turning for the required wraps.
On most of them seems best to do one more wrap than needed then pull the coil off and put it back on grab one end with some pliers or similar and pull a wrap off. I pull from the end where the wrapping started as the first wrap can be not as good as the following ones.
Then use something to hold the coil/s on as you secure them to the atty. After coli/s secure then test on an ohm meter or reg mod to make sure no shorts and resistance is correct.
At this point I give mine a pulse on a mod and see how they glow. If not good then some slight strums , scrapes with say a flat head screwdriver or similar along the coli/s helps. Pulse again and strum again until you get an even glow from the inside out.

I do this also. Great explanation! Also strumming the coil like you mentioned, or using rod you built on to run back and forth on the inside......ques em up great for duals especially!
I am not a You Tube lover at all , i really hate watching videos and much prefer to figure things out with a pic tutorial . I like Phil because he's actual "normal" , being normal is a good thing imo , very rare these days though .
Welcome to the porch Herb! I'm just the opposite, I love the videos. Shows me exactly what to do, and a verbal explanation for anything I might misunderstand from pics. and I'm really good at misunderstanding! But with you, just tell me, don't care for all the showboating!
I just can't pay attention that long , they are wayyy tooo long . When there is loud music thats an instant no go as well , i think if your part of this current generation you will probably love these videos , i grew up during the 70's and 80's , you know when wearing a pair of pants around your waste was the "in" thing to do .
Just different times.
