I've done dripping, and still do on rare occasions, but for me, I like the idea of not having to have a bottle of juice within 3' of me at all times (and far less issue with leaks/drips). For me, moving to an RTA was my unicorn. I get the benefit of customizing my coil and cotton to suit MY preferences, and a tank that holds 3-5ml of juice, so I'm only needing to fill it once a day, maybe twice? Adversarious brought up a great point about mech-mods... I own several and haven't touched them in months. When I do drip, I simply use my higher power regulated boxes... it gives a more uniform vaping experience, so I can hit the same Wattage on every draw, rather than the constant fall-off of power/voltage you get with a mech.

The subtank is a good tank, and I run my Nano and Mini with 1.2 and 1.5 Ohm coils. I also build the RBA deck in the same range. If you like your Aerotank mini, perhaps you'd like the standard-size Aerotank. I have both styles, V1 and V2, and love both of them! I use them with my Cloupor Minis and my IPV minis, and they would run very well with an iStick 50W or the Kbox-mini, too (as well as your i-134, with added beauty-ring). I would suggest you upgrade to a VW box-style mod... either one that has a self-contained battery like the iStick 50W (huge power reserve), MVP 20W, 3.0, etc., or make the move onto a replaceable battery device like the IPV, Cloupor, Kbox minis, etc.... just be sure to purchase a good Nitecore or Efest charger and VERY good batteries, like Samsung 25r, LG HE2, or purple Efests!

He could mean the Subox Mini Starter Kit. Comes with the Kbox mini and a Subtank Mini.

Also keep in mind the Sub Tank Plus is 25mm in diameter where the Sub Tank Mini is only 22mm. Unless you really feel the need to have the 7ml capacity, the Sub Tank Plus is going to look odd on almost any battery or mod out there unless you go for something running 26650's.

Hi John! Welcome to VT. I haven't tried either, yet, but the standard answer for a question like this would be to buy both!

A KPT also works much better at a slightly higher wattage than what is available with a regular battery. So your aerotank will probably perform much better too. Doesn't the aerotank mini use ego thread, most of the sub ohm batteries don't have ego threads, just 510 threads. That's why I got the subtank mini kit it costs less than some box mods and comes with battery and tank.

One thing to consider is can your current battery run a sub ohm tank? My evic will run a subtank but only if I use a 1.5 ohm coil or better, and then not as well as the sub box will. You may be better off getting the battery first.

Dripping is terrific. I love it. However, it is limited (for me). I cannot drip all day, nor do I want to. So if you start dripping, realize that you are likely to want another set up that performs well, is portable and trouble free anyway. Take a look at how you vape the most and upgrade that, then get yourself an RDA and learn how to do it and have fun.

My advice...go with what you think you will get the most enjoyment out of. For a lot of people, the idea of dripping simply isn't appealing. If you are already considering taking that step, then that tells me you aren't opposed to the idea of dripping. If you think you will enjoy everything involved with dripping, then by all means, go that route. I do both. Tanks during my drive to work, at work and on the way home, then I switch to an RBA and drip at home. For me dripping is relaxing. One other option you can go with - get a regulated box mod, a better tank and an RBA. You don't need a mech mod or an unregulated box mod to drip. In fact, even though I own several mech mods, most of my dripping is done on one of my regulated box mods. That way, if you discover dripping isn't for you, you still have the regulated box mod that you can use with other tanks. Not all tanks are safe to use on mech mods or unregulated box mods (personally I don't use any tanks on anything unregulated). Dripping can be a fun, relaxing, all around enjoyable experience, but like Tam said, safety first. There are a lot of good resources online about Ohm's Law, battery safety, coil building, wicking, etc. Check those resources and pay attention to them. You don't need to take a college course or major in electrical engineering to understand any of it, but paying attention to the information that is available can mean the difference between an enjoyable experience or becoming a statistic.

My recommendation would be to take a good look at your everyday setup, and pick out something that you would like to improve on. Using myself as an example: I love my subox kit. It is awesome, and most days, it is more than enough to get me through the day. However, on weekends or days when I'm using the train instead of driving, I begin to notice some things I'd like to improve. Tank capacity is the biggest thing. I'm really not keen on carrying extra juice with me while bar hopping with the guys. Battery life is the next issue. I haven't had it die, yet, but I've come close enough to not be comfortable vaping freely. I've got no experience dripping, so I'm not much help there. It seems like a lot of work, but would be cool for an at home setup. I couldn't imagine trying to drip at work or while out though.

Tried dripping, too high maintenance for me. Reminded me of my ex wife. I need ease of "Fill,Charge,Vape" ....like my current wife of 14 years. Beautiful, it just works and very low maintenance. Well, as long as she gets everything she wants (which she does) LOL

After six months? I'd get another tank and battery. Then, I would do even more research into dripping and what that entails -- do you want to use a premade atomizer and drip the old fashioned way? Or do you want to get an ohm meter, learn all about Ohm's Law, electrical safety, buy organic cotton, wire, torch... ? If it's the latter, please be doing lots of research so you know what you're getting into and how to go about it safely.

I cannot even list all the backups I have at this point especially now that we switched to the IStick 50w. Probably 15 assorted Spinner and Spinner 2s with a half dozen chargers and all worts, I buy coils by the 50 pack (when I open the new 50 pack I order another) and when I get down to 125ml of my flavor I order another 250ml. I keep 2 backup batteries, a tank, a bottle of liquid and a charger on the boat, 2 backups, a tank, bottle of liquid and a charger at work and the rest are at home. I want to keep a backup kit in my car but it just gets too hot and that concerns me.

Wow, thanks for the suggestions guys. I just called my local Mr. Vapor and they sell the Kuro. I'll see if that fits well (they're pretty cool there and may let me give it a try before I buy it). If that doesn't work for me, I'll just buy online and hope for a better fit. ^^ Wow...I just hit that link and those are some crazy coils. I could get into ACTUALLY using it as intended with the way those look. :P

Been there, done that... it's worse than finding out you have a flat tire at 5am I'm with Tam... I try not to go less than 60ml of my ADV before buying more, or mixing more... Mixing is not an issue, because I can whip-up a batch quickly, but if I'm buying something pre-mixed (or need components for mixing), I try to order it way before I need it to allow for shipping, out-of-stocks, back-orders, etc....
