I've owned my Subox Mini for just under a month now. I thought I'd share my experience so far, some good, and some, er, let say troublesome.
As a complete noob to sub-ohm vaping, building coils and and vaping in general, it was a steep learning curve.
For most of the month I used the stock OCC coils it came with, the 0.5 ohm versions. Out of the box I found that they ran dry really quick that made chain vaping really hard. After some googling I read that you need to work the cotton on the OCC coils with a needle to get it a bit looser making it wick a little better. This helped a great deal.
The unfortunate part is that, at the rate I vape, the coils only last about a week and at R50 a coil it can get quite costly. During this whole process I tried to use the included RBA without success every single time.
Until recently
I found this great tutorial on how to build an effective coil on the Subtank Mini RBA v2
If you own a Subtank Mini please watch that vid!
It seems that the secret is using a spaced coil with as large diameter turns as you can fit in there.
I tried his tutorial step by step and it worked perfectly.
So happy to finally be able to use the RBA deck instead of the pre-built coils
Now the only issue is that fact that I'm using about 10-15mls of liquid a day which gets very expensive in the long run, guess I'll have to up the ohms a little
Oh for those of you who TL;DR:
Spaced coil, large diameter = win
