That counts for almost any item in the store by the way, we'll usually price match (And everything is free shipping no minimum FYI)2 points -
It's been a min I got new toys!
Edna reacted to hicksvilleshick for a topic
So it's been awhile I thought I'd drop some info I've acquired over the last few months... Still love my cuboid, but recently started running into a 510 problem... I don't want to tear it apart and all the quick fixes online said put a business card under your tank to act as a spacer, I found a better solution, and made a video about it. About the time I was having that issue, I decided to pull the trigger on a new setup... I ponied up and went thru vapenw.com (thanks to the guys up here that clued me into that site!) and got the rx 2/3 and tfv8. You'll remember my old threads about the tfv4 and coils not lasting long, so I hope this is better. Gotta say so far I'm impressed. I'm still running the pre-installed coil (I want to say it's the octuple but could be wrong, my mind is a bit scattered as it's been a really bad week and a half) and have no complaints, it's knocking on 1k puffs and still going strong. I'm not in it for the clouds but for flavor and so far it slays it on both fronts. I love my triforce's and this is every bit as good. (so far) Now if they would just make a 30mm version I'd ****** that up. lol rx 2/3, well I'm in love. My cuboid is quite jealous. I love that you can put your own logo on the screen. Solid upgrade to the rx200. Anyhow hope all is well with ya'all! In the last week and a half here I've had my plumbing go tango uniform, and replaced it all myself, (I don't recommend, playing in poo pipe is not fun) my house ac fan motor crap out, my window unit ac for my bedroom puke water all over the new carpet, the hot water tank blow up, the honduh break down, then to top it off the honduh was stolen last night. (bye bye 1k worth of work I had just done to it) Anyhow if nothing else if there is anyone considering the rx200s or rx 2/3 go for it. If you liked the rx200, you'll love the 200s and 2/31 point -
Best setup for single coil avocado 24 build
Edna reacted to Adversarious1 for a topic
Greetings Dunc, It looks like there are several things you need explained so I hope this helps you out. I realize you are simply looking to buy premade coils, so I'll try not to go into too much theory and explanation on how to actually build coils. First, let's take a look at gauge. Gauge is one of the ways the thickness of wire is measured, although it can also be measure in millimeters or fractions of inches. Gauge is typically the easiest to remember when first starting out with coils, though. The lower the gauge, the thicker the wire. Some common thicknesses or gauges are 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28, although there are gauges that are thicker (lower than 20 in numbering) and gauges that are much thinner (higher than 28 in numbering). The gauge, or thickness, ultimately plays a role in how many wraps are needed for a coil to hit a desired ohm level. Now, while I said wire can also be measured in mm (or fractions of an inch), 2.5mm would be very thick wire and would not be used for vaping. In this case, the 2.5mm refers to the inside diameter of the coil. Coils are typically wrapped around some sort of hard, round tool, such as a screwdriver, drill bit or a coil jig. Common measurements are 2.5mm and 3mm, although I have seen coils as small as .5mm (I don't think I've seen any larger than 3mm). The inside diameter also plays a role in the ohm rating of a coil. As I'm sure you have already figured out, a Clapton coil is just a type of coil. In it's most basic form, a Clapton coil is a piece of wire of one thickness used as a core with a another wire wrapped around it. Most often the wire that is wrapped is of a smaller diameter or higher gauge than the core. Hive coils, Tiger Wire coils, Alien Claptons, Fused Claptons...the list goes on...are just variations of coils. Basically, if you want to run a single coil on the new Avocado 24 (yes, it does exist) I would recommend starting with a basic Clapton (for instance a 24ga + 28ga 5 wrap single coil, which will probably get you in the neighborhood of .5 ohm. As far as where to get premade Clapton coils, I can't make recommendations because I make my own. They do exist, though. Last, yes...definitely get an ohm meter. I never blindly fire even factory coils without checking them out on a meter to make sure they are actually close to what the claimed rating is. I hope some of this helps. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask. If I don't chime in, I'm sure someone else will.1 point -

Yes, the kits are the Subbox mini kit (sorry for the confusion) found HERE... for $29.95, so they've gone up a buck or two since I bought my last one. They are really good kits for the price, and the reason they've gone down in cost is because of the higher power 75W, 100W, etc. kits that are out now, as well as the top-fill versions (Toptank mini and Topbox kits). I have them in all colors, and two of the white ones. The toptank kits are similarly priced, and they also have them in TC version with the 75W mod for a few bucks more... but if you're only looking for a VW mod/tank combo that works... the subbox kit is the one I'd suggest. I personally prefer the 1.2 Ohm coils... good vapor and flavor without being "hot", and most of my juices like 12-20W of power, so you don't run down a 2500mAh battery every few hours... actually, I get about a day out of one before having to swap-out. You may like the 1.5 Ohm coils? The 0.5 Ohm are okay, but to me, they wear out fast and are a bit too hot for my juices... I like flavor, not heat, lol I've been using one of these kits since they came out over a year ago, and my original one is a little banged and scratched, but still works great! I've been using the subtank minis (have 10 minis, and 2 nanos) as my daily-drivers for well over a year now, and if I didn't trust or like them, I'd not have over 200 coils for them, waiting their turn in a box My ONLY issue with the 50W mod is that you cannot lock the screen/buttons... so you can accidentally up/down the Wattage if you're not paying attention. Other than that caveat, they're a winner in my book. The Triton minis are nothing more than a 3ml top-fill Nautilus... they use the same coils as the full-size and original mini Nautilus... they just have more airflow than the original Nautilus (but not a lot more). The full-size Triton2 is a better tank, uses better coils, and has way more airflow and capacity (5ml). I'm not sure why they named the Triton mini after the Triton... it's a top-fill Nautilus mini (not a smaller Triton)... nothing more... Patricia, it just dawned on me... you have subvod kits... so you've been using the younger brother to the Subtank mini already... the Subvods come with Subtank NANO tanks, which are a 1.9ml version of the Subtank Mini, and uses the SAME style SSOCC or OCC coils. They will even work with the RBA decks that are sold separately (or come with the subtank minis), but you lose some capacity if you use the RBA. Yes, the Protanks and Aerotanks will work on the battery that came with your Subvod kits... I have used my Aerotanks on my subvod battery several times. Just like any eGo-style battery, the center pin may be pushed down, preventing contact? Turn it off (5-clicks), then pry the center pin up a bit with a flat-head screwdriver or similar device. I'm guessing the reason they're not working on your batteries is that the subtank nano and Melo tanks have a slightly longer 510 connection and have pushed the pin down on the battery1 point -
Okay, the VT store is now showing the Triton 2 for $29.99 each. Order away!1 point

Christopher reacted to Tam for a topic
Okay, @Christopher is working to lower the price on the Aspire Triton 2 from $32.99 down to $29.99 right now. Give him a bit and he'll have the lower price showing soon. https://www.vaportalk.com/us/product/aspire-triton-v2/ The link that's below this sentence is for the 1.8 ohm kanthal coils that I love and use everyday. If you order in denominations of 5, they come in the 5-pack boxes. https://www.vaportalk.com/us/product/aspire-triton-coil-1pc/1 point -

If you liked the Protanks and Aerotanks, I'll assume you will also like the Protank 4 or the Subtank Mini. Like Tam, I do like the Triton2, but I like the Subtank mini a bit more because they have more coil options! And, they have a top-fill version (like the Triton1 and 2), which is called the TopTank Mini. The Protank 4 is also a top-fill tank. I like a 1.2 Ohm coil, so while I like the Triton2 design and size, if I want a 1.2 Ohm coil, I have to build one on the RBA deck Also, the Kanger coils are usually a bit cheaper and last well beyond 30ml of juice before they need changing. Occasionally, I'll get a coil to last through 60ml of a lighter, no-so-sweet, juice The Triton2 and Subtank mini variants work better, in my opinion, on a VW battery-device, so you can fine-tune the power for the best vape according to your juice, but you can use them on a static-voltage battery (like an eGo) just fine. These tanks are larger than your KPT2's and Aerotanks (18mm)... The Tritons and Subtanks are 22 or 23mm, but also hold 3.5-5.0ml of juice, rather than 2.5ml.1 point -
I have 2 Cubis tanks that I love. No leaks, Sub ohm (.5 or .6) or 1.0 ohm coils. I use them on my Evic VT mini and my Sigelei mini 30W. I've not tried the Cubis Pro. Just don't fall for the RBA head for the Cubis. It's so tiny that's it's nearly impossible to rebuild. So I don't!1 point

I'm a big fan of the Aspire Triton 2 with 1.8 ohm coils. I can up the wattage without getting hot vapor (which I really don't like), and it gives me lots of vapor and flavor. They have a little learning curve, but I now have ten sitting around with three in rotation.1 point
