Sub tank mini on a tube mod

[vappindaddy]

Hi everyone, I was wondering why I never see anyone rocking a sub tank on a tube mod? I don't see any reason you couldn't. Is it just because most people prefer the control of vape quality on a box mod for tanks like this, or is there some safety thing that I don't know about? Thanks for reading, and for your opinions!

The box is far more popular, no safety issue at all..

It is also possible that many of the old mods can't even run the 1.2ohm coils.

I can run a mini Nautilus on a Vamo, but no subtank even if it's not sub...

I know my batteries can easily handle the 0.5 ohm coil I'm using in my subtank, so other than just personal preference is there any reason I couldn't use a mech mod with it though?

I don't see any reason why you couldn't. Remember, the subtank comes with a .5 AND a 1.2 ohms in the OCC coils, and you have the option to put the RBA head in it to turn it into a rebuildable.

I'm running a subtank mini on a Stingray X right now, which is indeed a tube mech mod. Works flawlessly. Great vape with the .5 coil or the rebuildable section.

The only thing I would worry about would be a hybrid mech, because the 510 pin on the Subtank full size is spring loaded and the Mini/Nano might be a little short. But if you're using a hybrid mech, you probably know what will be safe and what won't

Thanks for the answers guys, I just wanted to make sure there weren't any safety issues I wasn't aware of

You can always get a vamo v7, 30 watt. I always have a Vamo for coil building since you can check for shorts without fireing the mod..

I would have to say put it on whatever you want as long as the device and battery are within safety standards for the specific levels you will be vaping at. The box is just the new thing, but no more safe than a cylindrical shape.

A mech has the potential to overpower the Subtank. On a mech with a freshly charged batt you're pushing between 30-35 watts at .5 ohms. I don't own a subtank but most claims I have heard say that 20-25 watts is the sweet spot.

No problem at all, considering the usual 'safety' aspect.

I infrequently have a short vape at 35 watts... why not... and none of my regulated mods go over 20w. That's where a mech is ideal.

I'll bear that in mind... good comment.

(I've not yet tried the 0.5 subtank on a mechanical mod).... maybe I'll find a battery on the way down (not fully charged)...

box modes are awesome but fragile..
sometimes I run subtank with my anatolian mech.
no probs if you have 1ish ohm coil

I'm running the Subtank Nano on a SMPL mod w/ no shorting. When you screw the coil head into the Subtank base, the Subtank 510 pin then protrudes out far enough to be effective with the hybrid cap.

Great vape.
