Not sure for the STM, the RBA is very small for my old eyes, so when I build I use big decks like the Velocity, i.e. I can see and my clumsy fingers fit.
There has been some builders in here like @n0ugh7_zw so I'm hoping they would chime in with your STM build.
Congrats anyway :)
@Chilli there are some good pointers in here to minimise leaking.
1. Follow @JakesSA advice on cleaning the base (His post is really good and summarises the common wisdom for the STM out there)
2. Make sure to prime properly when refilling
3. Don't let it lie on it's side overnight or for...
Yeap. Aspire coils work in there as well. With just the subohm coils (0.3 even), may not be for most. I hand a kit out with Aspire coils & the subohm ones for newbies. (While I dabble in MTL quite a bit, the Aspire coils are rather too tight for me... a bit looser and I won't mind them.)
Indeed. As well as http://eciggies.co.za/eCiggies_Kits/Eleaf-iJust2-STARTER-KIT-2600mAh
Comes with 1 x 0.3 coil, the Melo 0.5 works, as does the Apire coils, e.g. Atlantis-compatible (some newbies like them - I like MTL, but find the coils too restrictive) -...
Not an issue, options are good, not everything works for everybody. Choice is good.
The Vape Shop carries the iJust2 kit. However atm, they are out of stock on the kits (I swung past there today), but they have the tanks in stock. eCiggies carries the kit, tanks & batteries. I have seen these...
Makes sense, not all are bad all the time :)
Actually worked it out today on OCC coils, good thing is that I'm somewhat obsessive and keep writing stuff down. This is my cost/per coil for me on the various types, i.e. price * totalcoils/workingnumber. (Working at a cost of R50/coil). These are...
For me, recommending something is a case of -
1. I would actually use it daily (bonus points if I do)
2. It is problem-free (leaks, coils getting stuck)
3. It has not too much jiggly-bits (I cringe going directly to VW and/or TC - enough to worry about starting off)
4. It is upgradable to the...
Excellent points, 1 thing can never be for everybody.
It is precisely why I steer all newbies away from Kanger STM, despite common 'wisdom', even around here. Make no mistake, when they work, they are some of the best, but when they don't - I don't gamble with the cash of others.
1. Open OCC coil by breaking little foil
... prime etc.
2. Screw into tank
3. wtf, it doesn't fire?
4. Check on ohm meter
5. Oops, dud.
My experience with Ni coils. At least 1 a pack goes that route. At least another one in a five-pack that doesn't produce anything or close to anything.
0.5...
Having just spend 30 minutes trolling for "Subtank leaking posts", this made me smile. Nano is fine, neither of my 2 Minis are, leaking like crazy via the airholes. Nanos give me a more muted flavour, so I prefer the Minis. Rock, meet hard place. Nope, no RBA, just stock coils.
If/when they get...
I completed it the first time around against my better judgement - I walked away feeling like a dirty smoker since the questions forced me say that I still light up.
(And yes, I know you tried to defend the questions, however since it is slanted so badly, I'm not surprised the take-up is not...
When TC goes wrong, in my experience, it is always the coils. (DNA 40, eVic & iStick devices)
Some factory pre-built coils are better than others. For instance with an Kanger OCC Ni coils, a small bump of the atomizer is enough to make it go haywire. The coil connection really aren't that good...
Depends on the coil resistance.
Never went over 25W with mine, today I got an iJust2 to try out with a 0.3 ohm coil. At 40W (coil reading 0.26) it sits at 3.22V only.
The way the iStick 40W TC and most TC mods work...
0. You press the button
1. It pushes 40W through the coil
2. It monitors the temperature
3. When the set temperature has been reached, it backs off, i.e. goes into 'protected' mode, dropping the wattage
It is powerful enough and working just...
