Kanger Subtank On A Mech Mod?

[Rixter]

I've seen plenty of reviews about the new Kanger Subtank, but they all seem to show it being used on APVs. Does anyone here have any experience using the Subtank on a mech mod, and if so, what's your opinion of it's performance without power regulation? I'm sure it will do just fine in RBA mode...I'm mainly concerned with its performance in clearo mode .

Glad you asked this question, Rix. I've been wondering the same myself (also the same about the Atlantis).

[Earthling789]

Well, let's do the math...

The lowest factory clearo coil available from Kanger is a 0.5 Ohm coil... and a mech-mod's fully charged battery will be @ 4.1V (4.2V peak)

So, that means max Amp draw would be 8.2A @ 4.1V, and power would be 33.62W

Using a high-Wattage APV would allow you to exceed the capabilities of a mech-mod, and push the Wattage well beyond 34W. However, how well that coil would wick, or perform under, say 50W, would be impossible to guess... and would depend on the juice, too.

[Rixter]

The Kanger Subtank product page states: "OCC: 0.5 Sub Ohm / Range 15 - 30 W", so given that I try not to drain my batteries below 3.5v, that would put me between ~35 watts / 8½ amps @ 4.2 v, and ~24½ watts / 7 amps @ 3.5 v. That's a little on the high side with a fresh battery but not by much.

Everything looks pretty good on paper (from the numbers), but I'd still like to hear from someone who's used it on a mech mod.

[Earthling789]

Yeah, I agree, it looks good on paper, but I too would like to hear from someone using it in a real-world test

buy me one and ill let ya know

[Compenstine]

Someday I'll have one to test out.

They are recommended to be ran at 30w or below. Not sure about the sub tank but several have had problems with the Atlantis coils when exceeding 40w

I like my Atlantis on my mech so far.

My subtank works fine on my 49, my ar, and my 2 six, blows pretty good clouds, I keep it on my ipv2 though at about 18 to 20 watts, is the sweet spot for me

I have been running my subtank on my mechmod for two days now, and it works like a charm!

As my vaporshark rDNA has a faulty button that works when it wants to, i had to send it back to the vendor. So meanwhile im only using my mechmod.

I were running only RDA's until i tought about the 0,5 ohm coils and that it would turn out to under 40w, so i gave it a go.. must say i am very impressed!

Mech mods are also my preferred mods, as they just work every time you press that button.

Okay...I don't know about the OCC head, but the stock .4Ω dual coil RBA setup CHUCKS on an (unregulated) Aspire CF 18650 Mod!!!

I use my Subtank Mini on my Nemesis all the time in rba mode. with a .6 ohm coil it performs pretty awesome. I did use the stock OCCs. I liked the .5 ohm on it, but the 1.2 was a little weak and needs regulation, in my opinion.

It's impossible to vape at 4.2V off a battery, especially at subΩ loads. Ain't happening

I loved using my Atlantis on my old Colonial clone, worked like a charm. Haven't tried the subtank on a mech yet, can't wait to try though!

[vaping_jake]

been using my subtank mini on my cartel clone for 3 days....its works just fine. I dont like taking deep long draws on it, the taste starts to go a bit yucky. I do prefer to run it on my ipv mini at 20w.
