sub ohm kanger single coil builds?

[joose junkie]

(protank/aerotank coils)

i was wondering if anybody has tried it. i usually build them with 32, but i just got a fresh roll of 28 for my vulcan. im just wondering if i would get any nasty tastes? (im using natural cotton) and if anyone has had any problems? im shooting for 0.6

Bump for an answer cause I don't have it....lol

i have not tried it personally, but unless you make NR legs for securing the coil to the rubber grommet.... you quite possibly would just end up melting the rubber and end up smoking/vaping rubber.


from what ive gathered in the threads about protank coils - 1.2ohms is probbably your best bet on going low without causing damage.

i have been experimenting a bit with building sub ohms for kanger coils to put in my protank 3. i switched out the standard base and bought an aerotank air flow adjuster for better air flow. i also just completely skimped out on the flavor wick as i get dry hits pretty consistently with it. but even afterwards i get the occasional cotton burn. right now im at 0.6 to 0.7 ohms, and im wondering if my mod (stingray x with 2500mah, 30 amp efast imr) to cause something catastrophic? (such as tank getting welded into adapter)? ive heard of such things through rumors with em, and they're giving me the jeebies.

and i know the single coils arent usually compatible with the protank 3, but they seem to fit snugly in the base, and i solved the problem of the rubber gaskets around the stem by getting a dual coil gasket, flipping it and setting on top of the original one.

Interesting. I always thought that going sub-ohm on a Kanger coil would burn insulator. Ora re you using NR-R-NR wire? No hot juice splatter through the drip tip? Sorry, not answering your questions, but I am curious.

 

[joose junkie]

the insulator will burn unless you take a pair of nail clippers and clip the thick top neck of it. and as far as hot juice i havent had a problem, but it will happen if you flood the coil. and no im just using plain old kanthal from my local shop.

just a few pics

Cool, man.

I don't think there is enough airflow to keep the coil cool (maybe there is with the newest AFC).. I got some 0.8s and 1.0's for my Aero V2, nothing but a burnt taste and vapor that's way too hot on my mechanical, even with a deep lung hit like my drippers.

Btw, I'm from WNY too

I took a kanger airflow adapter and drilled it out to 1/16. Built myself a side by side dual coil inside my protank head and it ended up being .6 ohm build. It vaped quite well considering it was small diameter coils. I use hemp fiber and its a mighty hot vape so you have to take hard fast pulls or you'll burn the wicking. I just wanted to see if I could do it and I did and it worked fairly well. It was way too many beer ago so I not sure of what kanthal nor diameter if my wrapping tool. I just know it did what I wanted it to do and then set it on the shelf.

This is amazing, but certainly do it once project. I might try it but I've no idea how to hold the coils in place while pushing the insulator in. Did you twist the legs together, at least?

 

[Alter]

I cut 1 coils legs longer than the other so I could tell from the bottom which is which, used 2 long sewing pins taped together to hold both coils in place and was simply just careful not to cross or twist the wires together. One coil would have set in the bottom at 10 and 2 o'clock thus the other at 8 and 4 o'clock then with my original wrapping tool( probably a small allen key off of one of the drip attys I have)) I then raised the coils up a bit one at a time so they were level to make it easier to try to wick.
Bottom line is that if I want to deal with dual coils I would build a dripper and enjoy dual action more than with a protank but .6 is a bit low so I would hang around 1 ohm not to burn the rubber insulator. If you do burn the insulator then angle cut the top lip off and keep using the rubber insulator. I have several I've had to cut and still use them without issues

hey, one of the locals! but yeah i had that problem until i just scrapped the flavor wick period. with the kanger v1 airflow gadget and that wick removed, i actually get really airy hits, and the flavors not bad either except for the first few draws on a new one.

and yes, im 19. i know i look young, i get it alot.

 

[joose junkie]

and i know what you mean. its kind of a pain in the nuts, but anything above 1.0 kind of doesnt work for me anymore, lol. one of the posts snapped off my caterpillar rda, so im stuck with my pt3 and aero v1. but im getting a new one tomorrow, so my troubles will soon be over.
