The Kanger subtank mini - I like it but..

,,it's going to get some getting used to.I think the problem is that the chimney is relatively short... not much space between the coil head and bottom of the mouthpiece. The result is a much warmer - i would say hotter - vape than I am used too. I have a Kanger Geni Mini and even on that small tank there's a longer distance between coil and mouth piece. On the 1.2 ohm coil I have to keep the istick at 10 watts, 11 at most or else it's too warm for me. Sub-ohming will be a learning curve!

Try getting a new tip. My buddy got a copper one on his nano and he says it doesn't get hot and his vape is cooler, which he prefers. Also, make sure to experiment with the airflow. When I first got my mini the wide-open option was bizarre to me, but now it's my only preference and I can't go back.

No rule that says you must vape at high wattage.

I vape my Subtank Minis at less than 10 watts with .5-ohm OCCs on my iStick30s. Works for me and my battery lasts longer.

And technically you aren't sub-ohming if you are using a 1.2-ohm coil.

Actually that is exactly what I meant... already the vape is too warm for me and I'm not even sub-ohming yet..... LOL pleasures yet to come.

I was thinking of that. I saw some pretty looking long tips, very much like a cigarette holder, and thought that might work better for me As for the airflow, yes, it felt strange at first but now I already feel the flavour is much better with a wider airflow.

Oh, I gotcha.

I see a lot of folks saying their vape is too warm or they get dry or burnt hits and I always think "turn it down". Might be that folks get too caught up in the wattage numbers. Best way to find what you like is to sart low and increase. If it's too much - stop and back it down a notch. That's your number. I know that Kanger gives a range of recommended wattage depending on the coil resistance, which is fine, but it's not etched in stone.

You'll find your own sweet spot I'm sure.
