Subtank suggestions

[maxthackray]

Hey guys. Im new to this forum but ive found it useful in the past. Hopefully you guys can help me.

Ive got an atlantis with 0.5 coils and my coils get wrecked after one fillup of 80% vg liquid. Theyre not cheap to replace so im looking to upgrade to something that can handle high vg liquids.

Any suggestions? Are there things i should look out for when looking, like large wicking holes or something else?

Thanks for your help

Well it's not necessarily the vg always. Some sweeter juices and certain flavors are rough on coils regardless of vg ratio. I use subtank minis perfectly fine with high vg juices though, to answer your question. Most others have moved on to newer subtanks.

Not sure what "coils get wrecked after one fillup of 80% vg liquid" means DryHits, Poor Vapor Production, Leaking?

Hello and welcome!
I suggest a Sense Herakles, Sense Cyclone, Horizon Arctic or Uwell Crown.
BUT...since you like your thick juices, you would benefit greatly from a nice RDA. The flavor and vapor is unmatched in an RDA. To that end, I suggest a Kennedy, Magma, Derringer, Hellboy or Tugboat.
Please come back and let us know what you picked up.
And as always...Vape On!

1: rebuildable
or
2: unflavored

Your question carries the answer in it. Yes I would suggest subtank mini. But if you can get a taifun GT II it will be fine too. With them you can subohm or use upper 1 ohm all the same.
I have both and no complaint so far.

I suggest rebuilding. I do. There's a learning curve, certainly, and you'll drop a few bucks buying tools and wire-- less than a new Crown or Herakles-- but once you have it you'll be down the road. If you want to try, my current favorite tanks that can be bought authentic without raiding the savings account, are a Lemo2 for single coils and a Fogger V6 for dualies.

I also don't think you will find a manufactured coil that will handle high vg well. I think the velocity rda is one of the best and most versatile of them all.
Or maybe check in the liquids forum. I think some people add a little distilled water to high vg juices.
Good luck!

Basically the coils get clogged up and pretty much dont work anymore. I really have no idea. I know that the v1 atlantis coils arent 100% organic cotton but woukd that have anything to do with it?

 

[maxthackray]

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Really helpful. Will take a look into buying something. Can some exain what rda means? It was mentioned in one of the threads above.
Thanks

RDA = Rebuildable Drip Atomizer (aka dripper)

ETA
EHPro Kayfun Lite Plus V2 22mm RBA Rebuildable Atty
Bought 2 of these Very Happy. Great RTA (Rebuildable Tank Atomizer)

If the juice you are vaping is dark colored or sweet either of these will 'clog up' a coil faster. I have vaped Reduced Pg (100% vg with the only Pg being in the flavoring and/or nicotine) juice for over a year without any issues.
You may have just gotten some poor quality coils. It happens.

I recommend the Magma, derringer, Veritas. Freakshow Mini, Rogue and Darang.

I can also recommend three RTAs with better flavor than the Magma. To get great flavor vabd convenience of a tank.

First place in my heart is the Goblin Mini. Equal in flavor to the Freakshow Mini. The only rda that beats it is the Darang

Second place is the Orchid maybe 1/2 step behind the Freakshow Mini.

Third place is the Kayfun Nano but very close to the Orchid.

If you deal with Fasttech you can get a clone of any of the RTAs for $13 or less.

orchid about $13. GMini clone for about $9-10. Kayfun Nano all you need is a Kayfun Lite Plus or Monster base if you want more airflow, the base will be $4.xx, and a bell cap kit will cost $5-6

Thought id let you guys know that ive decided to go for a billow v2. Im going to have to get used to building coils but should be ok. Im pretty good with technical stuff.

Annoyingly my smok m65 decided to fry itself the other day so have to get a new battery too which is a pain in the ..... Going for a istick 100w mod.

Would love to hear you thoughts on these two!

Thanks again for your help
