Kangertech subtank

[Barak]

So i got a subtank today to try the sub ohm vibes. From those who smoke sub ohm, do you get use to the hotter vape?

I am loving the flavour and the clouds, but i find i cannot inhale as long as i could with the Nautilus mini. Obviously you run at a higher temp. Just want to know if this is something you get use.

That bothered me too, after a few drags in succession, it starts getting real hot to inhale.
Having an iStick 50W, dropping the Watts seems to have sorted that out for me, running it between 20W and 22W, any higher and it heats up real quick

Im running mine ant the minimum of 15w at the moment. will try and gradually increase it as the days goes by

I found at lower Watts, clouds were amazing, but lacking in flavour hits and strength/ taste.

I just cant stand going any higher than 15w

Sorry, saw now I have it on 21W/ 3.8V, @ o.7Ohm.
So far a good vape for me for today.

When I sub-ohmed the first time I was it 11W and doing mouth-to-lung hits. Now, a month late (give or take) I'm doing lung hits in the region of 80W sometimes on my mech mods at 0.2 ohm. Never found it hot though.... But I do around 2-3 second hits, nothing too long. 0.4ohm doesn't seem to have enough vapor for me anymore, guess you et used to it

The hotter the better. I love my vape hot. Flavor is better for me.

Try lowering the coils a bit, should drop the temp a little, and opening the airflow up should also drop it

Im running 15w/3V at 0.6ohm

Its something i am not at all use to. Guess i'll see how it goes after a few days

@VapeSnow hot is better for me too, but the Full size Kanger tends to even heat my teeth up at anything above 25-30W

I vape my subtank mini with the .5ohm coil at 25watts. Flavour is great on short hits and it doesn't get hot

 

[Barak]

I wonder if a smaller drip tip might be better than the massive drain pipe on the subtank

I must still get use to smaller hits i think. With the nautilus my draws were between 5 and 8 seconds. And that doesnt work on the subtank

It is quite a step up from the Nauti Mini. I used to think my mini was all I ever needed.... At the end of the day, it's not about who can vape the hottest,blow the biggest clouds or have the blingiest gear, it's about staying off the stinkies and finding what is comfortable to you. Might I suggest trying the following, from my own experience in moving up the wattage-ladder. Try doing 1.5mm, 2mm and 2.5mm coils in ID. Play around with the ohms a little too, maybe startd at 1ohm and work up ±2ohm at a time and find your sweet spot.

Hope it helps, but I'm sure some more experienced peeps will be along with great advice as always

Edit: Meant to say ±0.2ohm, not ±2ohm

Shorter hits i find work the best and with these tanks you dont need alot of wattage to get them going. You'll find your sweetspot the more you use it

A longer drip tip would also give the vapor more time to cool down before hitting your mouth

Hi @Barak

I dont like hot vapes either.
When i vape tobaccoes like Blackbird, I like them warmer, but not hot
When I vape fruits and menthols I actually prefer a cooler vape. I currently have a lime menthol vape in my Nuppin on the Reo (mechanical) with about a 0.5 ohm dual coil, so about 30Watts in total - but only 15 Watts per coil. Anything more than that is really not necessary or enjoyable for me.

Dont worry, take it slow and toot on both your Nautilus Mini and your Subtank. See what you prefer. Those very low sub ohm coils tend to perform better at higher powers from what I have gathered, so turning down the power say to 15W may not give you as good a vape as 15W on a 1 ohm coil. You need to experiment a lot. And with different juices.

It has taken me a while to realise something important - just because others rave about something, it doesnt necessarily mean you will enjoy it as much. This has happened to me several times with wicks, coils and equipment.

All the best and let us know how it goes.

PS- please would you update your location in your personal details. Helps with so many things on the forum.

I also tend to take +-5 to 6 second lunge hits, which heats up the Kanger real fast.
First thing I did, that I think helps, is put on a glass Drip Tip, which should run cooler than the S/S one it came with (Which I havent even used yet, I like Glass)

Yeah i am quite new to all the fancy vaping stuff. Being on a twisp for most of my vaping life. So i like the experimentation at the moment.

Will update those details.
