Sub-tank help please.

[prr]

Don't throw the heads away Pacer I can recoil them for you at pretty much whatever resistance you want.

Just done some at 0.5ohms for a member and have a stock of 1.2 ohms microcoiled with cotton wicks donated by glen, so when you want them done let me know.

are the heads difficult to recoil once opened up

[prr]

My pleasure Trevor, (no rhyme intended) glen sent me five heads and i've recoiled them at 1.2 ohms ready for any members who want some doing.

[prr]

Gary Horder they are easier than protank heads in all honesty, if you get problems or can't be assed give me a shout.

Pacer, assume you've thouroughly juiced up the wick in the Subtank first. It's cotton wool in the OCC heads so you must thouroughly wet them first.

More airflow will also help as above. If the drip tip is getting hot have you ant non metal DT's to try ?

I'm not sure what you mean by 5.8 watts and 2 volts, you can't be at both these values at the same time with a 0.5 ohm call. What mod are you using it on, ideally you should be running the 0.5 head at somewhere between 15 and 25 watts.

Obvcouse you can run both at the same time Greg, for instance I'm running a .63 ohm @ 30 watts and it's coming out at 4.3 volts all electronic cigarettes work off Amps, watts and volts  
edit - sorry just realised you seen what pacer meant just thought I'd clear it up, ignore me haha

I think you've missed my point, the key word is values. See my later post why those values aren't possible and how the Istick works at low settings.
using ohms law is a good idea of course but you also need to understand any limitations of the devices capabilities.

ok this will sound daft Pacer
but the harder you suck the faster the air travels over the coils keeping them and the vapour cooler
when i started to play with really low sub ohm drippers i started off on 100% vg with no flavorings or nic just to get used to lung inhales and how hard to suk so it wasnt stupidly hot
tbh the sub tank drip tip is not the best and it cant get ruddy hot i got these large bore tips from fasttech and they help no end(when getting large bore tips make sure that the hole at the bottom is big as well)

www.fasttech.com/p/2330602
both have big holes both ends and dont get to hot
www.fasttech.com/p/2147702
that however has a small hole at the bottom so makes it a ruddy tight draw and a pointless wide bore
and tbh i would avoid any drip tips with afc as you cant seem to fully shut it off

just my findings hope it helps

Very helpful decoy thank you, funny as last night in bed I was thinking are all tips the same size and how would I go about buying one. I did think it was rather wide so didn't want to buy one and it didn't fit.

This chap makes it look so easy, Gary Horder I have no chance with my mince pies and dexterity.

[Pacer]

Paul, Would you be able to do the vertical heads or would you renew them as horizontal?

I personally don't like the horizontal ones but finding it hard to buy them.

I'm also finding that these heads don't last anywhere near as long as my Davide BVC heads, I seem to be going through a Kanger 0.5 head every other day, whereas the Davide coils would need changing around every 8 or so days.

Tagging prr

[prr]

Trevor I do them as horizontal microcoils wicked with japanese cotton or rayon, did a couple for a local friend and they work pretty well. beacause they are microcoiled the are very robust and can easily be rewicked. I find vertical coils a real pain in the a-se to stop shorting or getting a very tight draw. Pacer

[Pacer]

Thank's prr will send you some to do for me in a week or so if that's ok ? let me know how much cash to enclose in the packet please. Just to clarify you can convert vertical to horizontal?

[prr]

Pacer no cash required, assuming they are the usual square type subtank heads, then no problems bear in mind your generosity with your comp nothing whatsoever is required or wanted

[TillyFTW]

My advice would be to re wick with some koh john doh cotton. For whatever reason this guy makes the best cotton out there, probs slave labor in some chinese field but who cares when it tastes so good. Plus he sounds like a martial artist
