Subtank mini&iStick 50w how low can I go with ohm

[Christonio]

Hello, I'm going to buy kangertech subtank mini and iStick 50w, I was wondering of rebuilding my own coils on the RBA base and how low can I go in ohms?
Thanks for the answers!

I vape mine happily at 0.4ohms. There are other factors to consider like ohms law and the abilty of the iStick's output. That I can't answer.

Okay thanks. Is there any noticeable difference in the stock 0.5ohm and custcustom 0.4?

 

[Hobby Kid]

I didn't get on with the stock coils. I thought they tasted rough compared to my own builds. I fitted one in a sub tank nano and didn't vape it that much. It sat aound for a few weeks but still died. Seems like time took it's toll. But really I stopped using stock coils a long time ago. As you probably already know, building your own is always going to be better as you'll make it the way you like it. And self builds last a long time. Just rewick.

Okay thanks!

I'll add that my 0.4 builds give me no problems. They don't overheat and they give me the impression going lower would be ok

 

[Christonio]

By the way, how many watts do you use for that 0.4ohm?

 

[Hobby Kid]

I only use them on mechs. I have a ZERO Modz 50 watt on the way which I'l try them on but won't know for another week. I'm reckoning around 30 watts-ish?

*Zero Modz 1:1 clone. just thought I'd throw that in there

 

[Christonio]

Okay,yeah I guessed it would need something around 30watts :b

the istick's do not fire anything below .5ohms..
might want to think on that..

 

[Christonio]

Didnt knew that.. What other mod would you recommend for that price point?

 

[Smoky Blue]

i found a ipv mini 2 for 66.00

i am sure there are other deals out there, lower for the mod that is coming to me..
found out after i bought it..

 

[Christonio]

I dont know.. The istick is ready to go and for the ipv i gotta buy batteries and a charger.. I guess ill stick to 0.5ohm or search for another mod with installed battery..

EDIT. http://www.eleafworld.com/product/detail.php/istick-50w.html it says rated resitance: 0.2-5ohm
Maybe you mixed it with 30w model? 30W model is only 0.4-5ohms

Imo, the Istick 50w with the Kanger mini subtank is best when you are vaping for flavor, even when going down to .3 or so. Thats just my opinion though. For clouds Id pick something different. For flavor go for it.

Okay thanks for all the answers, this thread is solved

mine wont go below .5ohms
i know, i tried.. then again, it vapes without me at times, so i am trying to return it.

Does your fire button get stuck sometimes? Thats happened to me twice

no.. i can vape on it and it stops on it's own..
its when i set it down.. and not touch it, it comes back on..
contacted mbv (shoulda known better than to buy it there, but i did) and sending it back in the morning..
i cant take a chance on it doing it again..

An istick 50 would be a great mod for the subtank mini. 50w covers the tanks potential and going super low with resistance isn't necessary when you have the ability to adjust the applied voltage. It's a great combo, I say get it.
