Subtank mini dual coil build

[Lehan]

So I tried my first dual coil build. Used 26g Kanthal at 7 wraps each gave me 0.5ohm.

Did the build on my KF4 tank just because I thought it would be a easier build due to to 4 contact screws instead of two on the subtank.

They took quite some time to heat up nicely and I wasn't to fond of it at all. The Subox mini mod at 40w seems to be to weak in my opinion. (don't want to strain the mod at too high wattage)

The flavour was poor and weak clouds. I then decided to take out the one coil, re-wick single coil giving 1.0ohms now.

Dropped the wattage to 22 and an amazing vape, great flavour and nice clouds. It might be that I didn't wick the coils correctly?

I still prefer a single coil build and would rather use a coil producing lower ohms than dual coils.

Looks like a great option for the subtank RBA great idea

Went back to single coil on subtank mini just to see the difference, I'll stick to dual coil from now on.
Much better flavour and clouds

My attempt at a dual coil. 26g, 6wraps, 0.3ohm, 30watt. The draw is definitely more airy. Finished 3 tanks of tropical ice, still going strong.

i agree i like th dual coils as well but hammers the battery and my mod gets pretty hot

anyone have pics of a clapton coil on the rba deck. the space is a bit tight. also any1 have issues of thicker wire tending to have issues mounting on the rba deck

@soofee gotta try this ASAP

 

[Robert Howes]

If I may ask, how often are you rewicking on this build?

 

[Nailedit77]

Once a week or so

Quad coil testing on subtank mini, not the best looking coils... but when u using a paperclip to wrap, things get a bit tricky.
Had to use my vtc mini as subox could handle the low ohms

Awesome stuff @Sickboy77 . Is the top cap closing on the RBA without any contact issues

 

[Nailedit77]

Nope, doesnt touch. Havent wicked yet as I will be trying to rebuild coils to make it cleaner

Don't stress about the subox mini, Mine is constantly living on the edge cause I run my goblin mini and two RDA's on it. (single and dual coils)
It is always at 0.3ohms and at 45-50w.
Yes, the battery doesn't last very long, but its been a month now of abusing the subox to its max and its not given me the slightest issues.
Quite impressed with it actually.

2nd attempt at dual coil for subtank mini

26ga
7 wraps
2mm
0.3ohm @ 33w

being having alot of issues lately with SS316L builds on my subtank. keep get spit backs, uncomfy ones. even at low watts like 22w. im going to need to dig a bit deeper with these builds. the SS is new to me, the last time i got spit backs was doing twisted 28G kanthal on the subtank

 

[Nailedit77]

I'm still figuring out the whole TC thing, so on kanthal for now till I get it right.

im thinking of getting the crius tank next. one of my posts where the screw goes in also busy giving in, so the thread only catches right at the end. i think this part of the problem. i dont know yet as with kanthal 26g i never had issues only when started using SS wire

 

[Nailedit77]

Using SS 316L on my goblin paired with VTC mini, I also get some spit backs... But this is more than likely due to me still figure out the whole temp settings etc. Kanthal works fine for me in all my builds, will go 316L again sometime
