Cool vapes? Easy A subtank mini with 1.2 ohm coil at 12 watts.
or a GS Air2 tank with a 1.2 or a 1.5 at 10 watts or so.
Also a 40+ year smoker who likes cool vapes.

sorry on the TC, I don't do that. May someday and may never although I do have a couple of mods that will do TC.

As long as your TC mod is happy with that resistance, why not just go ahead and try? TC is going to adjust the power delivered to hit your set temp, so it will possibly exceed tootle numbers, but if you wind up liking the vape, well, then you like the vape, and we won't disown you. ;) If you don't like the vape, you're out the cost of the wire, and could pif it on.

Well you can run TC that way if you wish. Because your going to set a certain temperature that you don't wish to Vape over. But at .15 ohm you 'll be running higher wattage to reach your temp, than if you even went with a .5 or .75 Coil. Since you really seem to want flavor and a cooler vape.
Just a thought

The 30g Ni200 wire is like working with thread it is very soft and can be hard to get a wick through. I twisted my 30g Ni200 up to make it a little firmer.

If you get Tempered Ni200 it is much better, but twice the price. The tempered stuff is almost like Kanthal to work with.

The 8 wraps of 30g on a 2.5 will give you 0.15 ohm, I found that 8 wraps of tempered 28g on 2.5 for 0.1 ohm provided a better vape than the 30g stuff does and is easier to work with. Ni200 coils have to be spaced so depending on the atty you are putting it in there might not be much room.

What you set the temperature to on the mod dictates how hot or cool the vape will be, you just have to play with the settings till you find what you like.

Also Ni200 and Titanium coils can NOT be dry burned like Kanthal & Stainless Steel can, just something to keep in mind.

Thanks for the replies everyone...

My venture into temp controlled vaping have been dashed for now, :( the B&M I frequent didn't have any nickel wire at this time,his resupply comes next month.On a postitve note though I ended up getting his last two Kayfun 3.1's at a sale price ($40 for both).

I wrote this for the Aussies but folks here might be interested


I have a couple of vapeprods just sitting in the cupboard, after I gave up on using them with aspire coils. Too many little thing that were wrong to bother with.

This morning I was setting up one of my cerotanks to taste some of my new mint and I had to make a decision between a protank coil or one of my precious BVC coils :D while I was recoiling a protank coil I remembered the vapeprod and wondered, as the threading is the same whether the protank coil would fit. Firstly it didn't the small collars around the Kanger coils are too big to drop down the tube. So I got my sanding guru (hahaha) to take a bit off the collar.

Well that worked.....the 510 connector screw held the coil firmly in place. Now all I needed was a bung to manage the airflow. The actual SS bung is designed to sit atop the aspire coils and the chimney of the protank coil was in the way. So I tried the coil without the chimney and that just flooded in an instant, I tried all sorts of bits I had lying around but nothing quite worked.

Taking a breather and looking at the genuine SS bung I realised that if I turned it upside down if fit snugly over the chimney and the orings were able to do their job of sealing the eliquid in the tube.

Now I know that most of you won't have a spare vapeprod lying around and they are not cheap but I did and it's nice to get them working and in rotation giving me a genuine rebuildable fuss free solution for my Billet Boxs. Protank coils have to be the easiest coils in the vaping world to rebuild.

So some pics of the process showing how the pieces went together



I have them setup in both a tank and the Billet Box ( boro ) and they vape quite differently so I will need to tinker with the wicking to get the right flow in each device. I was also not really careful with my treatment of the coils while tinkering so I will recoil/wick tomorrow. Very pleased with the end result.

Wow...You do some really neat stuff !!!

:p I do like to tinker. I was saying to Kat that my current setups are so reliable and consistent and I don't really stick with these sorts of playing. It's a challenge to work it out and know that I can use it if I have to.

Everything you pull apart and put together gives you a better understanding of how to troubleshoot your own favourite gear.

Will do for sure! Tanks!

He did! I don't think he thought much of your present one though.
He wouldn't if he liked the other one.
Not many like the current one. I was very disappointed. Well not too much did not expect much from our govt.
We do have the best government that money can buy. And therein lies the problem.

It makes sense to me, as well.

What a great question to pose, to everyone!



What do you like that is simple, fuss free, has longevity (replaceable coils, batteries etc), and that you are still using 2 years after they were released? And that deliver nicotine vape to you consistently and reliably?


Discuss!

Protank minis and Evods with a 5 pack of coils (any resistance) some cotton and a roll of 30 gauge wire.

Rip the insides of the coils out and make your own (much better in my humble opinion).Making coils is easier than one thinks,I'm 59 with bad eyes and shaky hands and after my 2nd or 3rd recoiled protank it was easy peasy lemon squeezy.

I'm kinda new to kayfuns but I think they're my new go to tank,I can see me using these for a long long time and easier than the protank recoils.

I have a subtank mini but didn't like it til I fiddled lots with it so it don't count.I also have an Eleaf lemo that still needs fiddling and it's not there yet.I was hoping to use it for my venture into temp control so I'll play with it in a month or so.

I have 3 mods an eVic (11 watt),IPV mini (30watt) and my new Aspire Pegasus v1 and a spinner battery all 4 still work.The eVic still works a treat,the IPV mini still works but has a stripped battery cap.My new Aspire Pegasus,well it works BUT.....it wasn't what I was hoping for.

That's exactly what I mean. If you use the same thing (whatever that thing is) you understand what it is, how it vapes, what you need to check if it feels wrong and it just works.

I think @tj99959 has the best sig line quote.


The biggest and most common mistake is buying product after product searching for that perfect vape
instead of learning how to get that perfect vape from the products you already have.

^^^ Yes,Yes,Yes....I'm a firm believer of this and do practice it....Plus I like to fiddle :)

Thanks SNM, I've pondered a coupla Evods mostly because I do like my PT2'S and I tried my friend's Evod this week. It wasn't bad at all. Hers had been living in the bottom of her purse, untouched, for a year. She just retired (yippee - a fellow retiree to play with!). She wants to quit smoking so charged it up and brought it with her for our visit this week.

"Here, try it.", she said.

It was covered in bits of tobacco, kleenex and Lord knows what. Egads, mine are spotless. I reluctantly took a vape and figured I'd excuse myself to the bathroom immediately after to scrub my mouth with soap. Hey, it was quite nice...decent vapor. Got me thinking. ...

Anyhoozle, she and I are heading to her local vape shop next to have a look around.

Juslookin' :)

On an unrelated note...... My Provis made it to my local post office (apparently) at 10:21 this morning. However, I don't know if my route guy is already out..... And of course, this is supposed to be coming to MY OFFICE, so if I don't get it today, I'll have to wait until MONDAY?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

O.k. Update. No delivery to my office today, so I figure I'll swing by the station (which is conveniently on my way home) because each time I try to call, the autobot "claims" that "We're sorry we can't take your call. We're busy assisting other customers." (yeah, right...)

Walk in; one other customer in line, so 2nd "worker" asks if she can help me. "I hope so", says I. Explain that I've been tracking a package, and that it arrived at this station at 10:21 this morning, but never came out for delivery. Would it be possible for me to just pick up.

Welllllllllllllll Apparently someone was trying to do as little as possible for the next 30 minutes of her shift. "Explains" that "it's probably still bundled in shrinkwrap where it will get torn down tomorrow and go on its truck.

Hrmph. "Thanks" for your "assistance" :sneaky:

I guess I'll be going into my office tomorrow (tax season - SOMEBODY will be there and will get the mail......)
