Yeah... I lot of people Quit Smoking using Pre Mid-2014 Hardware.

Don't get me Wrong. I would love to see the Predicate Date moved to May 2016. Sure would. But with So Much to Lose, basically Everything, I would be pushing for Less in a way to get More.

I quit in May 2013. Tried a cigalike and went straight to an ego. I really like what I'm vaping on right now a zmax v5 and I think that came out in 2013. I just got it this last month though. Plus didn't isticks come out in 2013? And provari was around back then too, right? Anyway, any mods that came out in 2013 is better than closed systems.

Do you guys think we will still be able to order from FT, GB, and such after August? I know there is no crystal ball but just hoping to get some feedback.

I sure hope so! From reading here, it sounds like much of our vaping life will be dictated by the states we live in as well as by the FDA. I'm in Texas, a pretty business-friendly state, so I am hopeful the FDA is the only thing I'll have to worry about.

Thank you. Are the replacement glass and parts fairly easy to find for the STMs?
As above, very easy.

The STM and Nautilus are likely the two easiest tanks to find glass, o-rings and any other part you can think of than any other tanks. Kayfun might be close.

If you have a couple of hours to kill, search "Subtank Mini" on Fasttech.

Sure is. In my review i said the Nebula Wine was a cross between the STM and Kayfun.

Flavor of a Kayfun
Appearance and ease of build of the STM RBA.
Stop talking about the wine. .. I haven't ordered mine yet! ! Jk... thanks for the heads up on this tank. . I can build an stm for I'll be able to handle this tank. .. whistle and all!!! :) ;)

To Me. The Subtank Mini is just kinda a great RTA all the way around.

Easy Deck to Build on.
Can run Pre-Made Coil.
Good Price.
Good Vapor/Flavor.
Easy to get Parts for it.

Thanks for this! I wish I had tried them sooner. Before a month or so ago, my experience with tanks was pretty much limited to Nautilus Minis. Since I'm a MTL vaper, I didn't realize I could use the SubTank if I didn't sub-ohm. Thank goodness I know better now!

Thank you. I'll do it! I want to get some Kayfuns and Kayfun clones too.

I've seen several posts mentioning STM's on this thread and I'm not sure what those are. I'm trying to stock up myself, and if STM's are good, I might want some of them. Are STM's Kanger SubTank Minis?

Thanks in advance for a response.
Yeah kanger subtank mini. ... toI bad you missed out on the bevapehappy sale a couple of weeks ago. .. I'll have new stms for years and years.

My first rebuild was a STM. The RTA deck comes with a pre-coil. I wicked that badly and it still tasted great. Sputtered a bit. Broke the coil and wound my first hand-made coil. Wicked it and it was better than any stock coil I have used on this atty. This stuff is not that hard. Highly recommend. Easy to build. Taste great and holds up for a long time. Picked up three at $10 on sale. Comes with extra glass and seals. You can't go wrong with this unit. MTL vapor @ 1.8 or so...

Yes... Mid-2014 would Include many Mods. As well as Many Atomizers.

Like I said, I would Love to see the Predicate Date be May 2016. But if it was Mid-2014, it wouldn't be as Devastating as things are Today.

And for the tootle puffers, it can run on PT2 coils and Aspire BVC coils, the one's for the clearo's, not the nautilus ones. :)

the coil restricts the airflow for a perfect MTL experience.

I have a freakshow mini. I liked it alot. I haven't used it in awhile due to going back to tanks when I got my subtank minis. But I'm glad i have a few rdas if I need them.

In the same class is the Mako Shorty, Bambino, Freakshow Mini, Dinghy, Shorty.

Basically look at the short RDAs 18 mm tall (not counting 510 and drip tip) and less anf get the one with a build deck you like.

My two faves are the Dinghy and Freakshow Mini for flavor.

When i drip i use the Rogue just because it has top airflow and will not leak like a sieve if i accidentaly over drip.

I had no idea those coils would work on it. I am so happy to know that. The Aspire BVCs are cheap!

You can build it for about Anything you like. I know Many people who Build there Subtank Mini's at 1.5 Ohms or More. I myself build it many times at 1.1 Ohms. Hits Get.

That, and I have about 350 of these Coils in my Vape Drawer.

$3.54 Pre-Coiled Wires for Rebuildable Atomizers (100-Pack) - 29 AWG / 0.3mm dia. / 1.1ohm / 12*12mm leads / 5 loops at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

So it is a Snap to just pull out a Coil, Wick and Prime it, and away you go.

I hated the STM until I tried the Aspire coils in it, there is a trick where you can get the tank full all the way too ;) Use a plunger the same size as the inside of the chimney, insert it, fill to about 4/5 to the top, and assemble the base, pressing the coil to the plunger till the threads are seated. Holds about 5ml that way :)
