Rixter Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 I bought a black Heatvape Invader Mini 50W this evening from Sweet-Vapes for $62.95 shipped. I also ordered a 25' spool of 28g Ni200 wire from TEMCo for $4.85 shipped. Everything should be here by mid-week so once I've had a chance to check it all out, I'll post the results here.
cany Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Rixter what battery are you going to use with it The nickle coils they say to use are they only for sub ohm tanks?
Rixter Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 I ordered one of the new, more powerful Efest 18650 2800mah 35A/80A IMR batteries from Triangle Vape to use in it. With the wire I bought from TEMCo, I'll be wrapping my own nickel coils for my RDAs, but I do plan on buying some of the new Nickel coil heads for my Kanger Subtank soon.

Let us know how it works out! I had one in the cart last night and talked myself out of it. There are so many new temp control mods out there, I just can't make my mind up. The new Sigelei that is rumored to have a SX350J in it looks promising if it is in the $100 range. I still want the SX mini m class, but I don't think I will save enough to get one, too many less expensive mods hitting the market. Rixter 1
jasonculp Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I just read that the Sigelei will be using the SX330v4s, the same YiHi board as the ipv4.
Rixter Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 Got my Heatvape Invader Mini 50W today (Monday) from Sweet Vapes. I just ordered it Friday night and chose the cheap shipping. Amazing. I love this mod. No problems with it not remembering settings between battery changes. It shuts itself off at around an hour but when you turn it back on, it retains its last settings. I'm going to use it (and only it) over the next few days to see how things go, but at this point, I'm pretty sure this is the best mod I've ever used. It feels really good in my hand and is a pretty hefty mod. I've got some Nickel wire on the way so I'll have to wait on testing the temp control. I ordered a Kanger Subtank Mini and a clear bell cap for it from Sweet Vapes tonight, and I plan on coiling the RBA head with Nickel wire. Kanger Subtank Mini with bell cap.
cany Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Rixter do you know of any tanks that their coils come standard with nickel wire I would love to try this mod but Im not a coil builder
Rixter Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 The Kanger Subtank, Subtank Mini, & Subtank Nano all use the same coil heads, and there is a Nickel version of those heads available. Also, Heatvape has a new sub-Ω tank (a top filler) called the Sniper that comes with Kanthal and Nickel coil heads in the package.
Rixter Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 By the way, you can use any juice delivery device you like on this mod...it doesn't have to have a Nickel build in it. But you have to use something with a Nickel build to take advantage of temp control. I'm currently using an Joyetech eGo One tank on mine.
cany Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I would like to use the temp control bit Im more interested in the drop/water resistant factor I tend to wreck things but reading what you guys posted about temp control it sounds like a perfect hit every time I like that also
cany Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I think you're gonna love it. Now I gotta get batteries and a charger lol
Rixter Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 What batts/charger would you recommend? I like these and this.
cany Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Thanks Ill prolly get them from the shop I go to cant put anymore on the CC lol
jasonculp Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I like these and this. I just ordered a pair of those and a few more 25R's from them. I am excited to try them. I also am pleased with the service from triangle up to this point.
Tug Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 The Smok Gimlet GCT tank comes with nickel coils,I'm waiting on mine with the Smok M80.i can't wait to try this temp control
Bebop Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Hey Rixter. Are you counting on being able to build Ni200 coils for your sub Tank? I'm wondering on what size and wraps (ballpark) on the sub tank in Ni200.
Rixter Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 Hey Rixter. Are you counting on being able to build Ni200 coils for your sub Tank? I'm wondering on what size and wraps (ballpark) on the sub tank in Ni200. Yes I am, and according to this online calculator, 10 wraps of 28g Ni200 around a 2.5mm spindle should yield ~.12Ω.
Rixter Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) A 2mm 5 wrap coil of 32g Ni200 yields the same ~.12Ω. Edited May 12, 2015 by Rixter
Bebop Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Dare I say it? It's possible. My wife is in to small and I'm trying to convert her to temp control. But she won't carry around a giant tank. Although I'm fine with the mini invader she is not that excited about the look. But she might go for the ipv mini look ......in pink
