New Setup - not working as expected...

[toejam]

Ok so after alot of deliberation I stumped up the cash and went for a Sigelei 100W box mod and kanger subtank.

0.5 ohm coil inserted and tried changing wattage between the recommended 15-30W

I'm not getting anywhere near the amount of vapor I expected and the draw seems some what harsh

On the plus side the flavor is incredible to my previous vamo/zmax and nautilus setup

The videos online the guys are getting incredible vapor production.


Any ideas what im doing wrong?

[geordie_vaper]

what pg/vg ratio are you using?

[toejam]

at the moment 70pg 30vg

[geordie_vaper]

on the video i will guess the chap using the tank will be using a high vg juice, also you will be getting a big throat hit of high pg juice at low resistances and high wattage,

if you want the clouds like the video get some high vg juice

I'd say that's your problem straight away.
Higher pg = more throat hit / higher VG = more vapour.
Try a minimum 50/50 mix see how that works for you or for silly vapour 10/90 mix

[toejam]

thanks guys, I naively thought it get silly clouds not matter what the mix and wanted to try my new juice!

I have 100% vg base Avant Garde strawberry flavour so ill give that a go and give you an update!

Thanks again

[Q]

When all is said & done why are you vaping?
is it for the flavour & satisfaction (sounds like you've got that)
or are you just wanting to show off with clouds???

[toejam]

well I am abit of a show off

but I was getting bigger clouds from my nautilus (which I smashed on the floor yesterday)

and the throat hit was almost unbearable chain vaping

Just loaded up with 100% vg and ill give an update in a few mins

[toejam]

ok that is 1000 x better

Looks like I need to order some more VG heavy juices

Subtank is a great piece of kit - vape is a little warm for me but nothing I cant get used to

Thanks for the input and help guys

The guys on the video will also be taking lung hits, that will give a lot more clouds

Also as your technically now subohming is much higher temp 0.5 ohm coil you might find lowering your nic will lessen the harshness on the throat.
You'll still be getting a big hit but because you will be getting more vapour you'll get as much if not more nic at low ohms.

Sorry if that was odd way of saying it gremlin fighting me for the remote control lol.

[monty]

I'm not speaking from experience with the sub tank but I understand to get the most out of it, you need to master the lung hit.

Ok so I got 100w plus mod with sub tank and bugger me its big compared to my hana clone and rosev2 clone,

Just had a vape on it and felt like razor blades hit my throat, thinking of doing diff pg/vg mix at lower nic

lower nic certainly made a difference for me, got a bit light headed before i dropped down!

Another quick question as I dont want to start a new thread....

Sigelei 100w box mod is reading volts at 3.0v on two fully charged 18650 batteries.

Zmax is reading each battery at 4.2 + 4.1 respectively. Why is the sigelei reading both (together) incorrectly?

Both batteries are Efest IMR 2000mah 18650s.


Is 2000mah ok? been trying to clarify this for the last half hour some sources recommending higher drain at 1600 mah would be safer.

Not using this until im satisfied im safe.

im using vtc4 batterys from myepack, is your zmax single battery?

I would of thought as sigelei is dual batt its evening the power out between the 2.

Single battery = all power
dual battery = spreading power
