Blackspur BB-DB146 Titanium Coated HSS Drill Bit Set These can be bought as an add-on item ofr £2.79 per pack; 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.2, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 4.8, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, so 2 packs of these would be good plus reviews are fine. Otherwise there's this: Irwin 10503991 HSS Tin Pro Drill 15 Piece Set Titanium Coated ... just 1 of each, £15.48, and lots of great reviews. "The Professional HSS Titanium coated jobbers drillbits with its 135º split point grinding ensures perfect centring and reduced drilling pressure. It has a Titanium nitride coating that reduces friction and resists wear. It has increased drill speeds of 40-60% compared to traditional bits without significantly reducing the life time of the drill bit. TiN is a poor conductor of heat, so the heat generated during the drilling process is diverted into the chips and coolant and less into the drill bit. TiN has a low coefficient of friction, resulting in less power being consumed." Sounds good.

The vice looks great kittyvape ive booked marked it myself to remind me I need something better than my grips. The drill bits I can only see one size you would use for an atty and that was the 2mm you might use the 4mm but that would be it. Try to find a pack that has 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 and 4mm as I cant see you using any bigger or smaller on an airhole. But yes titanium would be better. You may find they have a set that go from 1mm to 5mm all in .5mm steps. They useually do. Like the vice ...I want one. that's great! It is a really nice vice; good reviews. I'll look for those sizes instead. I should have thought of that, lol, with having the coilmaster etc. |

Good points decoy the more expensive titanium bits are much better, and are less likely to snap if the bit seizes in the hole (which can render the atty only fit for the bin). You may also consider a vice of some sort or at the very least some adjustable grips(like mole-grips or clamps that will let you hold atty in place) Dont ever hold atty in hand and try drilling even the smallest hole(it doesnt work I tried it  ) one slip when putting any sort of pressure on it and it will be in your hand. BE CAREFUL WHEN TRYING THINGS FOR 1st TIME. Its a learning curve. oops, don't know how I missed your post, lol, but thank you. Value my mitts very much, and had bookmarked a nice hobby vice a while back, so can add that to the drill/rotary order easily ... link. Would these bits be okay? link
You're absolutely right about being careful. |

just a wee heads up most attys/tanks are made of stainless steal/ss ss is ruddy hard to drill and has the nice trick of blunting drill bits just to add insult to injury if you still try to drill it with blunt bit it will heat up and get harder so if your going to try drilling out air holes be gentle and use titanium bits if you buying a drill look for one that comes with 2 batts if poss and defo variable speed as well as clockwise and anticlockwise turning lol, yes, that's not cool that it makes it even harder work.  Thanks for advising; I'll make sure I get titanium bits, for sure, and that the drill/tool fits that description. I forgot: should put vice on list too! |

With that juice control on goliath I have just been leaving it half open. I have found if i give the tank a small twist as if i was about to take atty appart, the control ring can be moved easier and i then just tighten tank after to lock it all down. Let me know how you get on, and if you need a few pointers on how to achieve something your welcome to ask me. I may not have the answer, but If I can see a way Ill tell you what Im thinking. Thank you very much indeed hijack. Really appreciate, and will certainly ask when I do buy the rotary/drill and get at the Kayfuns. Sounds good about the juice control, and glad you've found a good way to use it. I've been finding that I have to just about loosen the entire setup to get it to move, and it's still difficult [focalecig clone]. Hand-sanding it a bit the other day was starting to make a difference, which inspired me to look around for a kit/drill, as well as knowing twisting wire will be far easier. Thanks again. |

i have 5 x V1 subtank rba's the big redundant ones.. so if anyone wants one chuck us a quid to cover large letter postage and i will send 1 one to you.. just gathering dust here.. Cheers you're a star, phatfil tbh, it was a pack of 5 I'd ordered from FT (will go and remove that), but feel a bit greedy if I take the full 5 from you immediately. If it's really rare for anyone to need one of these, as everyone's upgraded, I'll go for it now, but can leave it until the morning if someone else may need one as well.  quest over, lol. Really appreciate. |

kittyvape Yes the new RBA the one with the holes in the sides for wicking will fit in all Subtank Mini's and the Plus. Yes but not in the v1 subtank, sorry I'm a little confused as the v1 subtank rda is what this thread was about Sorry, gm111, it was me asking about that, just to learn more about the different tanks. Still on my quest for the v1 subtank rda, so you're right. |

The Subtank Mini and Subtank Plus both take the same kind of RBA, both versions of Mini/Plus are interchangeable. The original Subtank the 25mm version has it's own type of RBA which will only work with that tank it will not work with the Subtank Mini or the Subtank Plus. The RBA that comes with the original Subtank is too wide to fit into the Subtank Mini also the chimney stem inside the tanks are different lengths. When the original Subtank was designed there was no plan to make a 22mm version and so the RBA was designed to fit the the larger 25mm tank. You can see there is quite a difference in dimensions.  Thanks Get Off My Cloud Confusion cleared ... interesting to know the Mini and Plus take the same kind of rba; that stands for the new Mini too? Like the bigger rba on the original Subtank a lot; nice to work in that much bigger space. |
