Thanks for the help! I got a couple more questions for y'all but I don't wanna burn you all out so I'll wait a week or so. Again, thanks, I would've NEVER figured that crap out without y'alls help, there's NO WAY!

Hello and welcome. Don't feel like you can't ask questions as there are always a bunch of us sitting on our porch, feet up, vape in one hand and Ipad in the other just waiting for a question to be asked. :smokie:

Right NealBJr, youre right! The kits came with some stuff I never seen, or used. But I wanted to, I just didn't have a clue how, where to start, or what to do! But wouldn't it be better if we were able to build coils by ourself? Or would they never be able to compete with the real ones that come already made? I now the people at the vapor store build their own. SO, there must be a little something to these RBA's.
Is there a good technique I should use to get these TRV4, RBA coils, somehoe able to function as well as a real one? It seems like rocket science right now to me but, once I get it, I got it from there, on! Like I'll never forget once I get it down!
If y'all wanna try to show me, I'd be grateful as could be! The 1st one has just been sitting here, untouched, put up, for a while now. Like months! And the 2nd one I have, I just bought the TRV4 kit that it came in only a couple weeks or so ago. The parts are practically brand new!
Thanks for any recipe so to speak!

Go to YouTube and search for "TFV4 build" and start watching the videos on how they build their coils. It's not as hard as it sounds, but the videos will show you better than I can try to explain it to you.
Everything I own is rebuildable and I make my own coils for them.
Watch the videos, see if it's something you want to do, then we can show you some tools to make it easier, as well as give you some tips and tricks.

Don't let building a coil intimidate you. Watch a bunch of videos then give it a go. Any monkey can build a coil but the wicking of that coil...that's the technique. Cotton acts differently than rayon and so on, once you get the wicking down, you are on your way.
The TFV4 is one of the more difficult attys to learn to wick with, it has to be just right. Kanger subtank mini is a super simple coil build and wicking to learn on, in other words there are oodles of easier attys to learn to rebuild on.

Once you get it down then you will be making better coils than the standard ones for much cheaper. Not a TFV4 person myself so speaking in a general sense with that. There are good tips there already but wanted to add that if you are having difficulty making perfect coils then you can get (for quite cheap) tools like coilmaster or kuro koiler that you pretty much just stick the wire in and twist a few times. Either way the wick is the tricky part, especially with a tank, if you have a little patience to stick at it for a few attempts though then you will get find the balance required to prevent leaking and deliver juice fast enough.

Can Kanger mini subtanks work with the pioneer ipv5?
Yeah no issues there. Subtank mini is a pretty good tank with a good rebuildable section that is fairly easy to learn to rebuild on but it is a tank that is meant to work both with standard coil heads and a rebuildable section. If you are looking specifically to buy a new tank with the sole purpose of getting into rebuilding and are pretty set on the idea then it might be worth considering a RTA (rebuildable tank atomiser) that is dedicated to being rebuildable. The pro side of this is you get something usually easier to work with and often better results (obviously this does to an extent depend on the one you get) and the con side is that if you give up on it then it is useless. In my mind (and it depends a lot) a decent cheap RTA like a serpent mini or something similar would be worth considering as an option if you were both going to get a new tank and pretty sure about getting into rebuildables.
