@MikeADore I honestly didn't even think about that! May not be a bad idea. My partner had a GS-Air tank and we both didn't really like it, though. We may have just been unlucky with the coils we purchased, and sort of stopped using it after two boxes that could have easily both been duds. Some were OK. Might be worth a shot again. I know the GS-Air range is really fairly popular and the price is right.
@Kenna not a bad idea, but IMO "beauty" rings are anything but
Still, a distinct possibility to be able to use what I already own at least. Also, good to know about the KFL + v2. I have some reading to do.
@kad2371 Actually, I think I do know where to get them if I want to go that route. I still have a couple lying around too. I just never really loved rebuilding them; I never found them to work so great that way, and a lot of times any burnt taste stayed around even with cleaning and removal and rebuilding etc. But yes, thank you, that's good to keep in mind!
@wvducklady I would highly recommend the nano if you like your Mini. At first I just got it because I figured it would be good to have cross-compatibility with the coils (and it is) but it turns out it's a slightly different vape IMO. Because the base is smaller, so are the airholes. Wide open on the nano is more restricted than wide open on the Mini, and so on. It gives a really good vape with the most current coils, so much better than the originals out of the box IMO. And yeah about the clapton! Good luck trying to fit that into the RBA, but I'm sure you could do it if you unravel the ends especially. The prebuilt .5 clapton coils are really excellent and hold up so so so much better at higher wattages than the original .5s. But of course that's no tootle puffer gear!! That being said, the (comparatively) "higher resistance" coils-- the 1.2 and 1.5s-- pair very well with the more restrictive airflow of the nano. I actually have a 1.5 in there right now
Out of pure curiosity, is your STM RBA the same as out of the box, or did you drill out the channels or make any modifications? Mine is the same as out of the box and works just fine, but definitely does better with slightly higher resistance builds.... it doesn't wick quite fast enough for anything much lower than .8ohms unless I go 50/50 or more PG.
And then just as a general comment I did find a list of tanks/RBAs with their diameters, so I have a few other ideas now though some are no longer really available or otherwise out of my price range.
