Time for new toys

[Deleted]

My recommendation for what it is worth would be:
Joyetech evic mini
Innokin Isub S
Standard kanthal 0.5 ohm isub coils rather than the Clapton's (this seems to be the general consensus about the Clapton's)

I've actually just cancelled and requested a refund for the 4 packs of Clapton coil heads I bought in FT's CNY smash n grab . . . . the one I have tried is ok, but nowhere near as flavoursome ( or I think lasting ) as the standard coils.

The type of coil possibly best suited for a dripper?

If you can get the same flavour or better from the standard coils that seems the way to go then. Especially when they require significantly less power. (?)

They certainly do for me Ewol . . . . standard .5ohm coils I run at 20.5w, the same ohms with the Clapton then I used 37.5w.

that's a lot of power for a small Clapton(power jump wise)and tbh I don't think the standard occ heads will go much past 30 due to the wicking
the prob with some claptons is for the 1st few pulls its just getting up to temp
might be worth giving it another shot at 30 watts but as ive yet to try one I cant honestly say.i am going to have to find one know simply because I want to see whats inside because I'm surprised you and others don't like it

After having used the iTaste 134 for about 2 years now, maybe it's time for new toys. I'm planning on getting the following:

Innokin Disrupter
Innokin iSub Apex 5 Tank
Innokin iSub Clapton Coils

Is there anyone out there who has the same and can tell me what they are like?

have to say that the Disrupter Is a bit daft and long in the tooth now(not a fixed batt but you can only get them from us till we stop making them)
evic mini with new batt is cheap and updateable software
I have the 3ml apex and the airflow bit is a bit of a waste of time go for the isub s with 5ml
wouldn't panic to much about getting coils as they last yonks' and my local band m shop sells them for £2.50 a pop(need to see if the have the Clapton ones in)

and just to be nosey what tanks do you use now

I started it at 30w decoy . . . . then gradually upped the wattage until I found a level that suited me, guided by these suggestions:

www.ecigclick.co.uk/innokin-isub-apex-5-tank-review/

Just tried it again at 30w and the vape is floppier than a floppy thing having a floppy day!


I wouldn't say that I don't like exactly, it's just that the performance and vape is so much superior from a standard coil for me.

I'm now looking at the Cool Fire 4 Plus, especially as the battery appears to last longer between charges.

I have to agree with Perpetua not a fan of the claptons with the isub range the biggest surprise for me is the 
2.0 coils at around 14 w very tasteful and nice clouds without them being OTT

I've still yet to try the ones I bought @broadblaster . . . . another thing on the ' to do ' list!

well I got a occ Clapton and its not that good on the 1st tank
tastes v metallic,a bit like they have used dirty wire
bedding it in at 30 watts for a tank and then see if there is any improvement

not overly impressed


ok tank emptied and refilled

the taste has gone and the flavour is good tbh but ive cranked it up to 50 watts
considering the coil is only .2 ohms it should run at around 90 watts to use 4.2 volts (it don't like much over 50)
DO NOT use this on a mech mod it will dry hit

I think they have fubared by not making the coil at a higher ohm as I think all coils should work at 4.2 volts

you might want to have a look at some rebuildable mtl tanks ,the erl is v easy to build on just in case you don't like sub ohming
I tend to use 3 diff nic mg
protanks and alikes 18+ mg
rebuildble mtl (kayfun,erl ect)around 12 mg
sub ohm under 6 mg and down to 3 mg if being silly

yes you get a good vape from SOME subtanks but they are not the be all and end all and a good mtl tank is defo worth a try

[doctorjellybean]

In the end I went with my original choices: Innokin Disrupter and iSub Tank.

Can one use a Kanger Protank 2 with the Disrupter? I'm only asking because I have a bundle of wicks and coils for the Protank.

Yes, and 510 tank will be fine with the disrupter. Just adjust wattage to suit the tank you're using.
