Greetings all!
As nickel builds/temperature control are relatively new to most of us vapers, I thought I'll start this discussion to gather input from you folks who are using nickel with temperature control.
I'm doing this as I myself have been struggling to get the limited information about nickel "how tos".
Please, for those who are on prebuild nickel coils, this thread is solely for "rebuilding with nickels only."
I'm running nickel builds on my subtank mini rba alongside with my new ipv4.
I've tried various setups searched from all over youtube and the internet. So far, there isn't a video by the big reviewers like riptrippers or pbusardo on rebuilding the subtank mini.
From what I gathered, the 28g ni200 seems to be the 1st choice for majority of the people. I understand that everyone has their own preferred build, what works for one might not work for another.
I've tried 28g, 5 wraps, 8 wraps, 9 wraps, 12 wraps all on 3mm diameter screwdriver. However, I'm unable to achieve that satisfying vape I get from kanthal. My vape seems dull. Not as sweet as kanthal. I've heard from some friends that flavour on nickel is not as good as kanthal.
So the questions.
1. Please share your setups. (Awg nickel used, wraps, diameter, ohms, temp set, wattage.)
2. For good old kanthal, one simply dry burns away the gunk. How do you remove gunk with nickel? I've tried torching it and it ruins the coil. I've also tried coating some eliquid on the coils so the chip fires without getting dry coil warning but it dosent really remove gunk.
3. Is kanthal really better for flavour compared to nickel?
I hope you vapers out there who are on nickel builds on subtank minis will be able to contribute. I would prefer vapers on subtanks to contribute as I believe its one of the more popular sub-ohm tanks today.
Like I say, everyone has their favourite setup. I hope these input will allow the rest of us to try new builds to see what suits us best!
