SUBTANK WARS

Wow, ok so anyone want to try something out for me? How is the flavor on the t-vct using kanthal wire? I have never built with anything else yet. And if I did ti would I need a tc mod?
The first build I did on the T-VCT RBA deck was kanthal. I can say although it didn't produce as much vapor as the Subtank mini, it produced a lot more flavor.

Thank you Stan & Devil! More flavor? That is sooo awesome! Less clouds is good too, it's easier to sneak public vapes that way. I think I am gonna look around at prices now:D

why o so few vendors have this tank? i HAVE CHECKED ABOUT 30 SITES. I was hoping someone who has a coupon code or discount offer would have these for sale. My cart at wet vapes is sitting at $56 with the tank rba deck and a 5 pack of nickel coils
I wanted to get it below $50 :((((((( Or just be able to get 2 or 3 coils. Are these tanks that new?

Well good morning all. OK so I made up a kanthal build for you. 2.5 mm with 26 gage is reading .85 on my ivp3 original. All wicked in with native cotton wicks. Set with airflow and juice control wide open at 15 watts. Filled it up with mama j game over custard. Disclaimer: I have forgotten how to vape in power mode since I have been exclusively in tc mode since February lolol. IMO the flavor is very close to that of the vct nickle coils and maybe just maybe more actually. I believe it's far better than any of the subtank I've used. It's not quite as flavorful as ti but I think that's more,due to tc. I did dry hit it a few times because I am a noob again in power mode and vaping at 15 watts is strange to me. I'm usually 30 plus but I am use to Subohm tanks lolol. Dry hits were my fault by trying to push 19 watts lolol
Overall I say this is a winner for flavor and clouds are pretty nice in this tank with the RBA in power mode.

I cant comment on this statement either.... I convinced @AmandaD to jump on the Billows V2 and now she has 2 lololol. But as @Mattp169 stated, if you wanted to just purchase it, I would be glad to provide you my ship to address lolololol
You are a persuasive devil, Devil. You also sold me on the Beast when I was waffling between that and the Starre.

I have the old version and it is very finicky about its wicking. Old rba deck. I can only use 28 gauge wire. Every try with 26 gauge and terrible dry hits and hot, hot, hot, and leaky. But fine with 28 gauge and pancake style wicking. Is my only tank. Not sure if I purchased new rba deck pro if it would fit., but would be much cheaper.
I was sort of in the same boat. Loved my Mini. Didn't try the RBA deck because I'm all thumbs mechanically, but I have just about perfected the technique of rewicking the stock coils without taking them apart. Still, it was frustrating that I couldn't take it beyond 25 watts, and the occasional leaking and dry hits drove me crazy. The Mini has been on the shelf since I got the Beast.

I should stop recommending things to people. I just love when you actually do find a device that works as the hype states. Many times these items turn out to suck lol

Well, if you have any tips for 18650 batteries that last longer than half a day, I'm listening. Just bought a couple made by Panasonic that suck.

I wish I did. Thats,why I ordered a dual box mod. I have heard the LG he4 are really good at 3000mah depending on your vape style they may be good. For higher watts above 90 not so good

I wish you had this one to compare - people are raving about it: https://www.wetvapes.com/index.php/smok-tfv4-sub-ohm-tank-kit.html However, the stock coils sound as if the're only good at extremely high wattage, but I'd be interested to know how the RBA deck (included) performs.

I did look at that. I hear it's great flavor. What made me pause was the triple and quad coils. I'm sure that would drink juice super fast. Even though I DIY it's gonna drink like a fish buy I would still love to try it

True. And what stopped me was maxing out my single 18650 boxes! I don't buy tanks that don't have an RBA option anyway, but it would be great to compare the flavors with the RBA bases.

ok ok see I wanted to know how that TFV4 rba was and it has a dual coil RBA base option
and SUPPOSEDLY Ni200 and SUPPOSEDLY Ti coils coming soon

Ive been holding off to see if the Ni and ti coils ever get released before something better comes out lol

Although I really like the TFV4, I really don't see myself vaping at that high of wattage. I am still a big fan of the Cthulhu RTA's. Just giving time on the V2 for them to work out all the kinks early and get the black one they're releasing a little later.

Nice!! U all are awesome. The only thing that scares me on the t-vct is if I break it I'm screwed as no replacement tank. I hate the looks of those vape bands, but figure it best in my case. Ok I'm sold on it you guys. It will be my next tank for sure. Might wait for a better sale, but wet vapes ain't too bad of a price since I'll stick to the rba. Thanks so much Devil and Stan!!

No problem at all @Daintanee , glad to help. I can say that although in the pics the tank looks fragile in real life it is not as fragile as it looks. the tank itself is incased in the outer stainless sleeve. I dropped mine once already on the floor and it was fine but I hear ya on the concerns. good luck my friend

I thought I had my mind made up weeks ago to get a crown tank. And NOW i see this awesome OBS tank that has an alien on it, AN ALIEN...I love aliens. Not sure if I should buy a tank based on it's ability to give me the Vulcan mind melt just by looking at it...I have a Subtank mini that I use the rba on. The flavor is good, the vapor is good. I just find it to be a bit restrictive for me. I think somebody said this OBS tank is similar to the subtank mini in the wide open draw using the rba. I am also wanting to know what the crown draw is like using the rba. If anybody can make a decision for me, I would appreciate it.:D

One very important detail that nobody said yet is you have to install the gasket under the deck or you will get big leaks. Look at stock coil and see where the lower gasket is. You have to take one from the spare parts bag and put it on. I missed that part initially lolol

This may seem absurd but I built a single nickle coil on the obs t vct this am. 2.5mm, 28 g 10 spaced at .10. This actually to me tastes phenomenal. Even better than ti coil but that may be my sig 75 doing that. Gonna vape on this for while today

I'm looking hard at this OBS to purchase. I just can't help it, I am attracted to, THE ALIEN...Anybody have the black version? If so, I can't find any info on what the finish is. Paint? Ceracoat? Other? How is the black finish holding up for you? The pics I have found, it shows the threaded portion of the 510 to be black finish also, any conductivity issues? Not a deal breaker, I also like the SS version, black would be first choice. Also, Any chance they will offer a replacement tank section in the event of a break? I also like the rba section, beefy screws, looks like a must have for this system.

I have the black one. The finish I believe is more than paint. Maybe anodized as it holds up in hot UC cleaner with no problems plus the alien looks great on black background. The outer shield glass and juice control are all one part so I can't see how to replace them individually but it us a sturdy tank
