Kanger Subtank Mini vertical coil

[huntermusgrove]

So i picked up the sub tank mini just to build on the RBA section. I tried many different vertical coils/horizontal coils, this is the best flavor I can get thus far. The only drawback is the the coil is 2.4 mm and I wanted to get a soild 3 mm but getting the shape wasn't working

22 Gauge or 24?

22 gauge

any details on how you wicked it? I'm curious myself as to how you did it, looks like something I wanna try as well. looks good!

small strip of japanese cotton wrapping around it but make them touch the juice channels...may need to make the channels bigger for this build though gets warm quick

What's the resistance on that? I'm thinking I want to try out a build like that when I get my mini. My box mod has decided it doesn't like reading my OG Subtank in RBA mode......

I don't have an Ohm reader so I'm curious, how many wraps using 24g kanthal would be sufficiant on the Subtank?? Also what drill bit size?

Thanks

You should have an ohm reader. They're <$10 and are essential for safety if you're going to be building your own coils. You can calculate the resistance using http://www.steam-engine.org/ but that won't tell you if you have a short or what the final resistance is. If you value your face get an ohm reader.

okay okay lol its reading at 0.35 to 0.38 depending on how you do the leg lengths for tightening the coil down. MAKE SURE that you clip the tails very close to the screws or you will have a short. It should be easy enough. Also, im going to drill out the juice wells today and look into opening up a secondary airflow for the base.

the new updated RBA section also have peek insulators so going down to around .25 would be the lowest id suggest if your'e trying to push the subtank to its limits but that would require modifying the juice wells to keep up

Yea, I know I should have one. I try to stick with the same build that I know is safe and if I have any doubt I go to my local B&M to use their Ohm reader. I typically use a 6wrap 24g build on my 4nine (Tobh) V2. So with that Im comfortable building on and being safe.
I was asking about the Subtank because Im not as familiar with buliding on it and havent done so yet. Which is why I was asking.

Thanks
