Keep the builds coming! I got a Subtank Mini coming in the mail and i love seeing some inspiration!
Subtank RBA builds? show em!

Ok, so new revelation. I turned the airflow control to the second of middle airflow hole and dropped down to 20w. The flavor has again increased. And when I say increased, I mean it is a much cleaner, more crisp flavor. Not overwarming taste, no burnt or alcohol taste that I sometime get with this particular banana flavored juice. The vape is also much cooler. While the cloud production. Did drop significantly, the satisfaction I get from this vape in terms of flavor and comfort is unbeatable compared to anything else I've tried. Definitely found a repeatable setup I'm gonna stick with. I absolutely love this tank with this build. And hey, lower power and airflow means longer battery life and less juice refills. Another plus

Curious, is that a crack that I see forming on the insulator? On the left side?32 gauge twisted wire, .9 ohms

Right in the middle of this enlarged picture? Someone had a clear insulator break in that same spot and suffered a major short.
It's funny how the finish looks smooth to the eye, but with my Nokia Lumia's camera.....it appears pretty rough. Cameras too sensitive

I love that twisted wire! Is the overall concept of the twisted wire being that you can use smaller gauge, wrap less wraps and still have a "low" resistance?
for example (just using FICTIONAL numbers), using twisted wire 32 ga with 6 wraps gets you .8 ohm vs that same 32 ga NON-twisted wire would be like 10-12 wraps to get the same resistance?
I guess wrapping my head around it (pun intended!), since smaller ga wire is usually easier to bend and wrap then your larger gauge wires are, then using a twisted wire would allow you to use smaller gauge (easier to work with) but still get into those low resistances without so many wraps. Is this correct thinking?

No crack
Just some piece of lint the camera picked up
Kanger is currently replacing the clear insulator with a brown one made out of the 3M PEEK material
The sub tank minis came with peek insulators already I thought. My full size sub tank didn't, but I don't like the airflow on that one so I only use occ heads in that any ways

The purpose of twisted wire is to give more surface area in the coil contacting the wick..... You get better flavor
Wrapping a twisted wire is actually harder then straight wire, when you twist it, it becomes a bit springy

When in the process do you burn (temper) it?, or does it even matter?
The clear one was supposed to be peek but whatever it was made out of it was too brittle. There have been breaks that resulted in shorts but thankfully everyone was using protected batteries so there were no battery explosions; that I've heard of anyway.
Some say not to torch, but I do
, takes out a lot of the spring.Torch after twisting, prior to wrapping coils
I use mine on a regulated device. If it does end up cracking, no worries, it will read as a short and won't fire
I won't worry about it until it does crack, I can always use the occ heads to I get a replacement piece. (I've been doing twisted wire in those as well
