OK tokari I think I sussed it. The problem here is that you can't chuck 50/50 at it to get the nic level you want without diluting the flavour sooooo... Take 20ml of the 80/20 juice. You have (16ml of pg and 4ml of vg in there) and 1.8mg/10ml of nic so 3.6mg total in 20ml Add 12ml of the 100vg juice. (Now 32ml total = 16ml of pg and 16ml of vg flavour) so 50/50. Still the same amount of nic in there 3.6mg. So strength is now 3.6mg in 32ml so 1.1mg/10ml or 11mg as you call it. To get it down to 6% you would have to dilute with pure 50/50 and that would thin the flavour. or add 20ml of the 100vg juice to 20ml of the 80/20 to give you 40ml of 40pg/60vg at 8% nic or 8mg. that should work Of course that could be total bull poo poo. Can one of you mixologists please check my sums? Thanks for this GeoffUK. I think I will find a darkened room as my head hurts after trying to figure things out.

the 54mg nic, is it pg or vg? The nic is PG and I have about 50ml of the 80pg/20vg and 70ml of the vg.

Hi All,
I am awaiting delivery of a Kanger Subox Mini kit on a slow boat from China. I've been trying to read up on juices to use in it, especially using the 0.5ohm OCC coils. I am more than comfortable with recoiling and rewicking coils to the appropriate resistance.
I normally use an 80%pg/20%vg 18mg mix in kayfuns/Russians as my preference is for a good throat hit rather than producing clouds. From what I have read and understood, I will have to use a greater VG mix with a lower nic content to get best use out of the subtank, especially if sub-ohming. I was potentially looking at going to a 50/50 pg/vg mix with nic 6mg - does this seem right for a startting point?
Also, I have some 80%pg/20%vg 18mg RY4 which I like and some 100%vg 0mg RY4 (bought by mistake!) of the same make (I also have 54mg nic + PG & VG liquid for mixing). What I can't get my head round is what ratio of each would I need to use to end up with something roughly around the 50/50 6mg I want to start with. I assume I might have to add more pg/vg to get the ratios about right? If I do an equal mix, would I end up with a 54/46 pg/vg mix at 9mg or is it not that simple?
Or am I better just starting from scratch and making my own?
Any thoughts/suggestions would be gratefully received as I am seriously confused!

How about the MVP2? I get about 2-2 1/2 days out of mine and is fairly indestructible.

I sometimes get this and have to turn back the switch slightly to release the locking ring. This doesn't happen all the time so doesn't really bother me.

Trying to get between 1.5 and 1.2. It's ok, I'll just order some new wire and get various thicknesses, always good to have a few in Sent from my Nexus 7 using proboards I get 1.4Ohms with 8 wraps of 0.3 Kanthal around a 2mm drill bit.

I had a similar issue with my FT clone, only this was with the vent holes on the bottom. The holes on the inside of the tube hadn't been smoothed out so a battery got stuck on them and so couldn't connect to the switch. Had to get the dremel to them and smooth them out.

I was a 35 year 20 a day smoker. Started vaping in May last year to see what the fuss was about and stopped within a week! Had a fag about a month later and only had a couple of drags before thinking this is disgusting (the taste and the smell) and stubbing it out. Not looked back since

Just wanted to say that I have dropped my MVPv2 on concrete, accidently brushed it off a table onto laminate flooring, dropped it mud, kicked it along a pavement after dropping it. Apart from some scratches to the paint, it has no dents and still works perfectly after 7 months! This is why it is my daytime mod, it is nearly indestructable. I do know that I wouldn't want to put my SVD or my Nemesis clone through all that and still get them working. Oh, and the battery is still lasting about 2 days of moderate vaping.

edit : btw I also thought micro coils are smaller - hence all my questions - and micro - ehm does mean small For my normal evod/protank coils I use 0.2 kanthal A1 wire wrapped 5 times around a 1.5mm drill bit. I then stick a bit of cotton wool through it, altho' I do need to use glasses and a magnifying lamp to see what I'm doing! This gives me a coil of about 1.8 Ohms. Conversely, my "micro" coil is about 8 wraps of 0.25 Kanthal wrapped around a 2.5 drill bit which gives me about the same or lower ohms. This about the same width coil as a normal one so still fits ok in the head. As others have said, the beauty of the micro coil/cotton wool combo is that you just whip out the cotton wool, give the coil a dry burn to get rid of the gunk and then stick in some more cotton wool. I can get about 3-4 weeks out of a micro coil depending on the juice. For my Russian clone, I use 0.3 kanthal wrapped about 7 or 8 times round a 3mm drill bit & get about 1.4 ohms. I like this cos its a doddle putting the cotton wool through such a "large" hole compared to my normal evod/protank coils. Also, I've started wrapping around an M2 bolt (1.5mm, 2mm and 3mm in diameter respectively) as the the threads are really fine and once you get the wire wrapping into the grooves between the threads you get a really tight coil that can be left as is or squished to make a micro coil. Just grab some wire and have a go - what have you wasted but a couple of quid on a spool of wire?

Hello and welcome
Can't knock the JacVapour stuff as they got me off the cigs (and are quite useful as a super stealthy vape). I keep one in my emergency out and about stash just in case. After about a month on them I moved up to the Evods kit from myepack, swiftly followed by the mini protank kit x 2 from the same vendor.
Never looked back since!
