If you look at the subtank (and mini/nano) docs, you'll see that the 0.5 ohm coils run best at a higher wattage than the 1.5 ohm. The 0.5 ohm run best at 25W-30W, the 1.2 ohm at about 15-20W. As for the runny nose, don't worry, many people have had that when quitting the deathsticks. I guess it's one of the bodys ways of expelling all those toxins. On a positive note, it only lasts a few weeks and you'll catch far less colds and flus. Thanks thatguy  You know when you notice things but don't take them in or know what they really mean, lol ... looking at the docs was one of those times. Thanks for drawing my attention to that. Definitely 34w with the 1.2 was great, really strong flavour, and have had to drop down to 24w with the 0.5, yet not such a strong flavour, which is a shame. Can get some 1.2's. Thanks about the reassurance. Glad to get rid of the toxins, for sure! |

So with the 0.5 I would be needing to switch the watts down anyway? But it should be the same strong flavour? Sorry, in some areas get a total brain-tizzy, lol. No, watts is the heating power and if you had an unregulated device like a mech mod then you would have to use the ohms to get the heating power you wanted. But with Variable Wattage devices they take care of all the that for you and ohms shouldn't make any difference as long as they are in the range your device can fire (many won't fire below 1 ohm or 0.5 ohm). So between 2 coils if you put the same watts in they should heat the liquid the same, but they can be different physical size so that heat could be concentrated in a small contact area or more spread out and that is why they can vape differently. It all sounds confusing, but roughly speaking you would stay at the same watts between different coils for a consistent vape, if you swapped tanks you may want to go up or down. Thanks VapingBad Same watts between different coils ... thanks for nice clear explanation. Might I have hit a bad coil? that would be odd for that to happen with Kanger? This one really does taste a bit 'off', and I can't imagine I got vaper's tongue the second I swapped coils, lol. Testing the 1.2 back in just now, although not sure if that one had burnt out (such a newb). |

Firstly whhhhhhhhy are you getting coils from Amazon and shop cigarette naughty lady. myepack.co.uk/kanger-subtank-coil-head.html £2.20 www.vapeescape.co.uk/Vaping-Spares/Tanks-Accessories/SubTank-Mini-Nano-Spare-OCC-Coils-5.Html 12.95 for 5 OK now we have sorted that Tease-smiley Due to the nature of the tanks they need orings and the liquids we vape are highly flavoured. This will often mean that you have a smell of your last liquid in tank even after a thorough wash. I tend to have 1 tank only for minty,menthol,anisseed vapes as its virtually impossible to mask those with other juices even after soaking in vodka,Milton etc. Fruit flavours tend to blend and are not noticeable as long as you have a frsh wicked coil. Also try and have a tank for dessert flavours like custards etc. Thanks igual, lol Tease-smiley myepack it is then! Great tank allocation there; wish I'd thought of that, lol. Will do. Need to not use the eGo and eShisha batteries I think; got so spoilt by the iStick, it's maybe better to get a good extra tank for the 50w. Need to win the lottery soon, to cover costs, or would buy lots of Nanos and 50w's, lol. With being so new I'm not even out of the blister pack, I'd just thought a rinse would sort out any niffs.  Warm soapy water dip, dry, leave is what everyone mainly does? |

What flavours Kitty? Aniseed and menthol hang on. Thanks tim Various stronger fruits mainly eg blueberry, sasparella I can still smell after washing. My own first mix is boston mud pie and that seems okay [but is the one that's dropped in flavour as soon as I switched to 0.5 coil), but did a couple of new mixes today (double chocolate mint, and cinnamon coffee cake, all Capella) and keep getting 'off' tastes in the 2 Aerotanks. (Was trying not to have to empty out the Nano just yet.) Thanks for the clear explanation. So with the 0.5 I would be needing to switch the watts down anyway? But it should be the same strong flavour? Sorry, in some areas get a total brain-tizzy, lol. |

Hiya  Seem to have got into a tizzy, lol. Was doing fine yesterday with the 1.2 coil for the Nano, nice rich flavour at 34w (own first mix, 22% flavour), but then ordered 5 0.5's (genuine) and the flavour seems to immediately have dropped or tastes a bit 'off' if raise/drop (same mix) from around 24w; still not nice rich flavour. Can't get my head around ohms/volts, difference between 0.5 and 1.2; tend to just experiment. Went for iStick 50w for battery (and very glad did), and Nano for price (another lucky choice, lol). Also finding washing doesn't remove previous flavour enough, and frustrating trying to get a clean taste especially when have just begun mixing and am having to wash tanks a lot (Kanger Nano for iStick 50w, Kanger Aerotank for iStick 10w, and an Aerotank EMOW I have been trying to use on a cheapish eGo battery and and eShisha Club Stellar Apollo battery ... had to try these 2 batteries, as Aerotank EMOW hasn't got a 510 thread and too deep for adaptor). Have just washed the two Aerotanks in warm soapy water, dried, left to dry overnight, but can still smell some flavouring on them, grrr! Only had Kanger Aerotank for 2 days, Aerotank EMOW for one day, and sometimes bad taste. Also, have seen some 1.2 coils for the Nano at £3.99 at shopecigarette, and am amazed. Had just paid about £13 on Amazon for 0.5's! 0.5 or 1.2 SubTank Coils One other quick question, is part of dumping the stinkies and starting vaping (about 3 weeks now) to have a runny nose a lot? Is that a brief stage? Great to be here and able to ask these things. Really appreciate. |

aha, definitely need to wake up a bit more, lol ... just put it down to lowest it can go (3.3v) and no burn. None of the wonderful flavour of the iStick 50w at 34w, but the mini was only bought as a filler-in when charging the 50w. Thanks Tweak it up a little more, until you start to notice your vape being not as pleasant Kitty . . . . . thanks Perpetua, will do  |

My mix burns using Aerotank/istick 10w, but can vape it on iStick 50w with Nano great! You can always turn the setting down on the mini iStick kittyvape . . . what voltage are you running it at? Start low and work up, is normally the best way. aha, definitely need to wake up a bit more, lol ... just put it down to lowest it can go (3.3v) and no burn.

kittyvape - just to clear up any confusion, it doesn't matter whether you vape a new mix immediately or leave it for days or weeks, the strength of the nicotine will be the same, it's only the mellowing and mixing of any flavours which will usually improve with time. Thanks chykensa Have just tried it, and I think I can just get away with the 18mg. May even drop to around 16. More flavour drops is a success; look forward to it mellowing and improving. Capella are great; glad chose them first. My mix burns using Aerotank/istick 10w, but can vape it on iStick 50w with Nano great! First success!  |

It's funny that I also got nic sick when I mixed my first few batches of juice at 12 to 18mg although I was used to vaping 24mg. It makes me wonder if some of the 'not-so-expensive' juices have actually far less nicotine in than indicated due to it being the most expensive ingredient. Could be an interesting debate Very interesting point indeed, scs.  I think you definitely could be right there, as I was very careful with measurements, yet it almost seemed as if the strength could be '28-30', maybe even more than that. All the more reason to mix, for sure! I'll reduce until I hit the usual 24mg feeling, and it will be very interesting to see what number that ends up at. Saving some VG nic too, lol, so it's all good. |

My wife and I started at 18mg when we quit, and I smoked 35 a day at the time , and we had no cravings at all at that strength. I would try a small 5 ml batch at 18mg ( that's 5 ml in total, ie Nic base/ VG / PG/ and flavouring) not 5 ml of Nic . Good luck, and post again if you have any questions. Thanks car147 Glad the 18mg works so well for you. I was on 20-25+ old holborn roll-ups before, and definitely am finding (in my so-far 3 weeks of vaping) that the stronger flavours are what I like plus am amazed I seem to be using about 5 ml a day, lol. Thanks again. |

Yeah igual kittyvape has a few 1 ml syringes coming from me (royal fail pending  ) Ditto what everyone else has said about mls rather than drops and also try making a min of 10-15ml when experimenting. remember baby wipes if you get it over your hands - easy and quick way to get it off . Cheap as chips too (I get mine from savers - one packet lasts ages!!!!) Have you googled nic OD kittyvape? Just for symptoms what I have done with nic OD in the past Up the water intake (find it screws your blood sugar first - yes this is the time you are allowed to have strawberry milk ) Don't vape for 2 hours! Next two hours minimal vape Jobs a good one. Nic kills in 4 hours if it does kill. Half life is 2 hours Worth knowing Hiya and thanks. Very kind to send.  Totally agree about the baby wipes; thank goodness for Tesco's cheap and cheerful range, lol. Yes, I'd googled nic OD when I got so poorly after the order delivery, and been delighted to see the recommendations included chocolate too, lol  Can vape chocolate, and chocolate is nic medicine?! ... vaping really is cool. Guzzled some water and Dairy Milk lastnight and soon started to feel a bit better. Hadn't known to not vape then low-vape, so thank you very much. Hadn't felt like vaping for a while, but hadn't waited 2 hours, eek. Still alive this morning, lol, so at least it seems it was only a couple of drops ott nic, thank goodness. |

7.2mg I think she said. Also might be worth mixing in a bigger batch as trying to make 5 mil batches will never be that accurate as you end up with fractional measurements. If your useing an aerotank might be worth getting a unicoil from virtual vape. This will give you a nice vape than the stock coils and can be rewicked multiple times. I noticed your useing the volt reading. Might be easier to use watts on istick click 3 times. For mixing I use a 1 mil syringe a 2.5 mil and a 10 mil all with widebore needles Thanks igual I apologise for mistyping the iStick 50w details as 'v' instead of 'w'. The mini iStick only is showing me 'v', but it was 13w I was using the mixture at with the iStick 50w. I think you're right that 10ml mix would avoid any fractional error; that must have been what had gone wrong. Thanks for advising the unicoil; just looked it up ... I've never rewicked/recoiled, but it certainly sounds great and would be another initiation, lol, plus very happy that I could ask/learn. It was a 2.5 ml I used, with a widebore on. |

Had given bottles a shake, but maybe immediately vaping the Boston Mud Pie wasn't the best thing to do, as it may not have settled. Have just chanced another try, and it may have settled a tiny bit, but I can only take a few draws and the nic is getting a bit much. Maybe if I aim for 20mg, it'll be better, and able to use it freely, rather than little draws occasionally ... I'd try mixing at 18mg myself kittyvape and just keep a small stock of 24mg eliquid in, for when you feel the need for a more intense nicotine hit. If you're wanting to ' chain vape ' then a lower strength will be more forgiving, that you'll notice less. There aren't many flavours that you can use immediately, most benefit from a little steeping/blending time to be at their nicest - even if you've bought freshly mixed eliquid from a Vendor, it's been mixed for a couple of days at least. Thanks Perpetua Sounds a good idea about mixing lower. I'm surprised how much eliquid I'm getting through, lol ... near to 5ml a day at 24mg (shop-bought). I'm sure you're right about mix it a bit lower, as then, even if an extra couple of drops get through, it's a decent smoke, plus possible to 'chain vape'. Will definitely not immediately vape a mixture again. Have sampled the ott-nic boston mud pie this morning, and the flavour is good but definitely too much nicotine. |

You know when you notice things but don't take them in or know what they really mean, lol ... looking at the docs was one of those times. Thanks for drawing my attention to that. Definitely 34w with the 1.2 was great, really strong flavour, and have had to drop down to 24w with the 0.5, yet not such a strong flavour, which is a shame. Can get some 1.2's.
