Subox Mini Feedback

[SAVapeGear]

Guys

The old coils work just as well.

Just take a piece of kanthal wire or very thin needle and wiggle it through the coil slowly from the one side to the other.

Push it through the coil.

It makes a huge difference.

Just go slowly.It will eventually go through the coil and exit on the other side.

This makes a huge difference.

Oh WOW! I have just experienced the phenomenon where the sub tank mini is producing the most wonderful vape and then all of a sardine the taste is KAK! What the hell?

I have been vaping on my black subox for a few days and loving the vape... awesome clouds and flavour from Gemini Dragon... I have been through 2 tanks fulls of great flavour... then this afternoon I refilled it and the taste was KAK! I thought my mouth was out of order because I have been testing different juices but I got my daughter to try it and the same result...

I have just replaced the coil with the ,5Ω coil but it's not the same... so waiting for the replacement 1,5Ω coils to arrive!

The 0,5Ω coil is kak... time to try a 1,2Ω old OCC Coil... OK either the Gemini Royal juice is kak or I have to wait for new 1,5Ω coils.

That is funny.I started on the 0.5 coil and went through 5 tanks of Kings Crown - Bound by the crown before I got a funny taste.Not a bad taste.Just a burned taste.Then I did the coil trick with an old style 0.5ohm coil and I got even better flavor than the new coils.

If you have older style coils,try this trick.

Have a look at this video:



I did the same but I actually took a piece of 26 g Kanthal and pushed it through the coil.

 

[Rob Fisher]

Thanks for that! Will give it a try!

Sure Rob. No problem. Let me know how you find this fix.

FYI:

Update on RedditOld Coils)

I was having the exact same problem until I tried the needle trick. I used a sewing needle. Once your cotton has been fully saturated, take a sewing needle or push pin (something very fine) and run it right through the middle of your cotton through to the other side. Now wiggle the needle around to create a tunnel of empty space in the OCC cotton. You should be able to see a small pinhole of daylight through the cotton. I am able to chain vape at 28-29 watts Max VG with zero dry hits. At 30watts it starts to taste like you're pushing the envelope.

This trick has changed the game for me.

EDIT: The needle should be inserted horizontally through the two holes in the sides of the coil head.

Use the rba section?

If I'm gonna build a coil I'm gonna use one of my REO's with a Cyclone or better still my Billow 2 on my SX Mini... I'm just after a quick and easy tank system with commercial coils... but I hear you and may just do that...

Funny. I find the 0▪5 the better coil. The trick works. As for flavour. . Not the same.

The rba is awesome build your own bvc.


As for the commercial coil. Have probably had 2 weeks and easy 200ml of juice trough it. No issues till the last.

I have vaped on various wattages. And no issues at all.


Lets see when the final coils come around for now my rba and a vertical build ia working hundreds at 30 watt and using ncv and cloud company.

Hmmm, vertical coil in the rba base. Hmmmmm sounds like a plan
