An ECF'er sent me a Rose V2 that was gathering dust in a drawer.
Simple 8/7 wrap of 26g on 2.4mm, 0.9Ω at 20W and the flavor is outstanding. You would need a really good build in a Kayfun Lite to even touch the Rose, the V4 comes very close.

A friend's SXK Nextgen arrived, my Yeahsmo should be here soon.
 
He built up the SXK and cracked the glass tank, so he had to switch over to the stainless tank. It is a really nice genesis tank with great flavor and easy building. The best part is you can lay it on it's side or pocket it with out the worry of leaking.

You want full contact with the coil but you don't want it so tight as to choke your wick. 

In other words, a good way to gauge how snug is too snug is to try and pull a piece of wick through the coil without your mod moving.

Awesome. Sweet thanks for the tip I'll see if that helps

Why are you buggerin' with these when you have your Genesis? These type of tanks still pants the FOTM sub tanks, though.

Gotta have a good set of tanks as I can't vape a single flavor that long. I have been running a dual coil mesh in the Origenny and I am liking it more and more every day. A real quality vape at 25W on 0.6Ω 26g with 200 mesh, just tilt and enjoy, but don't lay it over or put it in your pocket unless it's kept vertical. I found some stainless steel cheese head screws, 3mm x 35mm to fix my rigged up center post.


Like you say, these older tanks do really perform very well. But all the cool kids today want a sub ohm from Kanger, Aspire, Arctic, Herakles, Matrix, High Voltage, VCT Pro or a dozen more with way too many coils to be bought. All they ever complain about is dry hits and leaking juice. Ha Ha Ha

Quite the compiled review here:
http://the-best-electronic-cigarette-review.com/best-sub-ohm-tanks/
 
Even vape shops are sending new vapers out with a Melo sub tank and an iStick 30W as there first device.
 
I will be picking up my Flash e-Vapor V3 tomorrow at the post office so it will be a daily driver along with the Nextgen if that works out.
Then I will be waiting for Hotcig to clone the 20ml Flash e-Vapor dD. I'll also have to find a Congestus or Vapor Giant to put it on! 

 
Should look something like this on the dual 26650 Congestus, with the KBox as a size reference .

If only all the cool kids could start super sub ohming. 

 
I think a big part of the sub tank wave is laziness. They don't want to learn how to build or deal with rebuilding.
The fact that many aren't rebuildable pisses me off as well. But it's pretty simple, it bothers me so I don't use them. Ha.
 
The other thing to it is blowing bigger clouds at the costs of flavor. The "older" tanks simply out perform in flavor but don't bring the cloud chasing aspect.
Who the hell wants to refill a 5ml tank every half hour? Defeats the purpose of a convenient tank capacity, no?
 
Share your goodies when you get 'em in.

I have to agree. I was about to sell my 30w box and RDA to a friend for $25. But he declined,he "NEEDED" a tank. So I said screw it,I'll sell it to someone else for more.

i'm thinking of getting a rebuildable tank next.  i was thinking subtank mini or Lemo2, but i've seen some recent stuff about the billow 2 that is making lean toward that.  flavor and clouds, 5ml capacity, easy to fill, fairly easy to build on, $35 authentic, etc.

The STM and the Lemo2 are single coil devices, the Billow 2, Goblin, Goliath, Silverplay etc are dual coil only. The wicking can be tricky on these atty's as it is very similar to Orchid wicking. If you can wick an Orchid properly you will have no problem with any of the dual coil RTA's

The deck on the Billow 2 is not that big, it looks like it will hold a maximum size of 2.5 mm coils and the Goblin is even tighter to work with.

I put a Quartz nano kit on the Silverplay tonight, at 25W's the flavor and vapor are excellent.

Yeah some RDA's/RTA's work great at lower ohms. I would say this Freakshow Mini works better at 23.5 watts than on my mech.

Just did a twisted coil. Amazing.

 

[skalkman]

Actually got a set of claptons going in the darkhorse, and with the AFC closed all the way down it's actually quite good.
 

 

[paradoxper]

A little weekend coil porn. Thanks gents.
 
Skalk, is that a Clapton or something else? And what are your thoughts. Claptons seem all the rage these days and honestly, I went through my Clapton phase unimpressed.
 
Here's my contribution.
 
20g 7/64 4 wraps 0.09. Rockin' my TIT.

Clapton of 22g and 32g, 2.5mm ID 5 wraps 0.15ohms. Thought i might just try it.
