SubTank Mini RTA Deck

[tobaccokills]

I have been using 26 Gauge Kanthol doing simple single coil builds on this deck (My first rebuildable). Would anyone suggest a different gauge. I guess my main question is would one gauge coil last longer than another.

 

[dhood]

That's what I use on mine. Generally about 5 or 6 wraps. the coils last a long time but I have to re-wick every other day or so.

 

[Wolfenstark]

I used 26g on the subtank mini.
No different gauge wire wouldn't last any longer under the same use.

 

[tobaccokills]

Sounds like i need to try just re wicking every few days instead of replacing the coil and wick lol

 

[Wolfenstark]

With the kanthal wire you can take the wick and out rub the coil down with some rubbing alcohol or give it some dry burns and get rid of the gunk.

The time people use the same coil varies from person to person , I've read some change after a few days and others have used them for two months or more.

I use 26 and 24g coils. I don't change them until they are noticeably inefficient. It takes a month or more for me. Cotton I change every 4 or 5 days. I use delta 2s and lemo 2s but it's a similar setup especially comparing to the delta.

26G here too. I rewick every couple of weeks, the coil I have in now is 3 months old and still working fine. I dry burn and rinse with water between re-wickings.

26-28 gauge would be perfect. All depends on the ohm rating you want.

Just don't build too low especially on a. Mech mod. Battery venting can be scary.

 

[Wolfenstark]

Oh yeah I'm a 26G here also.

As long as youve got an ohm reader and a quality battery, and you know basic safety, you should be fine. The danger is when people use rewrapped batteries and don't have an ohm reader.

I have an ohms reader but don't use it. My Istick 40 TC is almost as accurate as my ohms reader. I have built so long I have a pretty good idea of the ohms rating before I put the coil in the tank. Or atty.

This is very helpfull for coil builds i think Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

I was referring to the mech mod safety comment. You use an ohm reader to check for shorts before you put it on your mech.

I'll be the oddball. I use 32g A1. 5/4 wrap over a toothpick. Comes around 1.8 ohms. I usually harden it by spinning it on a drill first. It makes it easier to work with. Wick changing really depends on what liquid I use. 50/50 unflavored I can go for a month without wick changing. 25/72 NET will last only a few hours.

Coils last forever. Only time I make a new one is when I damage one getting the wick out.

It really depends on what you are after as a vaper.

26 gauge as well for me. I usually do dual coils with 7 wraps wrapped around a 2mm screwdriver comes out to about .37 ohms. Tight fit between the posts but I get a great vape from it.

 

[ashtrayogdc]

Twisted 28 with 3mm id comes out to .7 and vape it at 20 watts. Works pretty good.

I sold my Subtank mini and kept the big one, using the RBA in it with the juice channel Dremeled out some. This work really good but I've order one of the v2 mini RBA heads for it. I'm to understand that I may have to shorten the chimney tube a mm or 2 to make it fit properly in the 25 mm Subtank. Anyone have some experience doing this?
I'm not caring if the OCC heads no longer fit right.
Oh ya, using 26 gauge Ti

You shouldn't have to shorten it. My understanding is they are interchangeable between the two tanks.

Another 26gauge KA1 here also. Works good in the subtank.

Hey, i hope you love your subtank mini coz i did! Maxed it out before i got my Zeph. What i used on my subtank mini was 28g 10 wraps 2.5mm diameter. I went for the high ohms 1.1-1.3. Coz i was using a kbox mini at the time and the batteries are fragile. So high ohms low wattage and higher voltage for me at the time.

When i got my ipv4s i started to take it to the next level, drilling the wick holes, making different coil setups, really going sub-ohm builds. One i could share with you is, u may go dual coil on this by coiling your coils instead of the usual horizontal coil setups i did parallel. Meaning the coils wicking pass is not aimed straight to the wick hole. Like this,

So u get more airflow, no hard draws, more clouds, more flavor. Its a little tricky to do. But worth the try if you would wanna get some crazy ideas.

I wish you all the best!
