they are ruddy close to a dripper with a tank and i would suggest adding a wee goblin to your cart as well for duel coil fun

Hey, I just found this one in white to match the mod  www.fasttech.com/products/2330301

Duel coil fun?? What the heck does this goblin achieve then?

Looking at all those chimneys though I wouldn't have a clue how to wick the thing

Added to my wish list whilst I check it out on youtube

My 'ol man is gonna have a heart attack when he sees all my new toys, he already thinks I've gone nuts

subtank is single coil that takes occ heads as well as a supplied rba the goblin is rba only but a lot quieter in use and can give better flavor in my opinion

Apparently, it achieves severe loss of juice. From the fill screw.

I don't have one as it is bottom fill. But nice looks and a great vape. Apparently.

What I need is someone to come over to Tenerife and show me how to do all this rebuilding stuff - I feel quite alone and out of it over here

I'm sure I'd get the hang of things if only I could see some experts actually doing it in front of me and then correcting me when I give it a shot and mess it all up

No probs toots

You cover my expenses and I'll come

Need to see piccies first.....

I thought I'd have some takers on that suggestion

Actually, I can provide the accommodation in my rental Apartment just round the corner from my place. I rent it out for holidays but I could give someone a freebie week in there in exchange for some help with rebuilding tanks etc   Sleeps 2 people. You'd have to get your own flights though, still works out a cheap holiday with free accommodation wouldn't it.

The Subtank mini is probably the easiest RBA to coil 

Have a little squint at the guide in my sig.

This is seriously pricking up my ears toots. Not Had a holiday for 6 years now. I can afford the flights, and if I can shop and cook food, I could maybe accept your offer. Which is gonna lose you money, unless there is a rent fee.

t.b.h. toots the concept of "sub-ohm" is irrelevant to me these days.

A year ago, I might have made a 0.8 coil to use on a mech mod for some dripper vaping, but even that can now go on a 30w iStick.

Clearly, if people want to vape (oh, I don't know..) maybe 20-25 watts or more, then the coil needs to be under 1.0ohm to make sense.
I often find myself vaping the either the 1.2ohm and 0.5ohm at the same power. The 0.5 seems to be better for air, for me... but I don't need it for my style of vaping.

Do you mouth to lung inhale? That could be an issue... quite a lot of the (fantastic) sub-ohm tanks on the market are direct lung inhale really.

PM coming your way tim

if building the coils is looking a bit tricky then just buy 50 or more ready made ones from fsattech for a couple of dollars
www.fasttech.com/p/2210100
then its just a matter of securing them to the atty base and wicking them

I don't really know if I mouth to lung inhale or do a direct lung inhale, probably mouth to lung inhale as I think that's what most people do.

I tend to have my isticks at the lowest wattage of 6 watts - anything higher and it seems to give a burnt taste to me, but that is with either a 1.8 or a 2.1 ohms coil.

I'm also not into blowing big clouds either - but what I do want is good flavour - that is key to me.

Right

Much as I would love a low cost holiday in Tenerrife, I'm probably not the person to ask with building tutorials (yes I can do it, but its not pretty and why bother when Slowtech can give you pre made coils for pennies)

But there is a big difference between the iclear16s that you are using now and a sub tank mini. And its not the ohms (been mentioned before now but on a VW mod the ohms are largely irrelevant - honestly if you gave me a 1.2ohm and a 0.5ohm sub tank coil I wouldn't be able to tell the difference at say 20w - because hey there isn't much pf a difference - the power being output should be the same).

The difference is the draw and the airflow. The sub tanks and indeed all the current crop of sub ohm tanks work on lung inhales. If you try and mouth to lung like you probably do now on an clear you will cough up a lung doing so. Now once you learn to draw differently (basically you just breathe in) a whole different world of vaping emerges and yes it does taste better and hits harder. But if you don't like it the sub ohm tanks are a waste of time.

Its all in the draw

You are mouth to lunging currently.

These tanks need power to work well - 20w+ - it won't burn if wicking well trust me

The flavour is much better lung inhaling but it takes a while to get used to it - once you crack it you won't vape any other way.  Trust me lol
