This has probably been asked a billion times in this post, but I'm looking at finding a nice compact tank for an eleaf istick and looking for some help.

I'm leaning either towards a mini nautilus or eleaf gs16s/plus. Any other recommendations for a small squat tank? Also need to mention I don't like lung hit style sub ohm jobbies so I've ruled them out, otherwise they generally look perfect in terms of form factor for me.

To give you an idea of what I like, I've been using a pro tank mini 3 for ages now and really like it, but with the eleaf battery I'd like something that doesn't stick up so much.

Again, for your style the mini nautilus wins. Or possibly beyond vape silo lite.

Nautilus is 5mm shorter than protank 3. The beyond vape silo lite is the same size as the protank 3.
 
I just stripped it down, cleaned etc..dry burned the coil and it's glowing evenly.
Re-wicked and left it to soak for 5 mins, still only getting to 8.2W before I get spitting.
Not too bothered but feel I am missing something, although I have watched a couple of YT vids that show the same as I have done anyway.

Can you take a pic of your wicking?

Dude - I've a 3 post here that's been completely unused. If you're willing to post for a trade i'd be interested.

Please trust me if so! :-)

Send me a trust message bud :)

Cant even find those in stock either, very nice offer pgi though, seems these attys are popular :)

Tried direct from steam crave? My order with them took around 9 days to get to the UK...

Thanks balky, I think I'll just go for the nautilus mini like I originally planned.

Out of curiosity, my mate has literally just let me know today he's selling his kanger sub box mini for cheap. Can the tip be swapped out for something that isn't like lugging a bong and can the tank vape like a mini tank or is it just full choo choo train all the time regardless of what you do? :D

Done :)



2 weeks until the ever anticipated reuleaux arrives, already added myself to a DNA200 group on FB to have a flick through the different themes that are possible, can't wait!


Has anyone seen the Eden mods snapdragon RDA? It looks so sexy, but cannot justify 85 beans for an RDA.
 
Been using Dual Clapton Coils 0.3 Ohms on a Twisted Nemesis Dripper fantastic vape.

Just curious as to what diameter you guys would say is perfect when wrapping coils I feel sometimes my cotton is too tight!
 
I member on UKVapers said he emailed Totally Wicked and they got their Reuleaux stock in this morning and will be shipping tomorrow, so fingers crossed i get my first one on wednesday.

You sod ;-) Please let us know what you think of it. What do you plan on coupling it with primarily?


If anyone wants/needs a 6ml tank extension for the aromamiser and finds they are not using their 3ml, please let me know.
Have a completely unused and brand new 6ml extension here that I'd love to trade for the smaller 3ml extension.

I primarily use these when out and about, and prefer the 3ml simply due to it's smaller size.
 
Just looked at the Koopor firmware guide....:rolleyes: Wont be doing that, you need some special USB and the software to do it.

But getting away from that... some advice please! :D I want to try this TC mode but I am getting confused with TI to NI, I get that NI is lower Ohm but what is the difference? I have 2 LG 3000Mah / 20A batteries and I prefer a cool vape. Example: My Lemo 2 Tank runs at 25w with a 0.5 A1 coil at 3mm dia. (Not sure this helps but hey ho!) How would a 0.25 NI coil vape with 25w or does it need more?

Also does anyone mix grape and lychee juice or white grape and peach for sub ohm? Welch's carton of drinking juice got me hooked lol! :D

Tip can indeed be swapped out for a narrower 510 drip tip. The airflow I believe can be closed for a relative tight draw. Will double check and let you know. Worst comes to worst just buy another nautilus mini and put that on it!

Oh yall will be the first to know as ill have pictures to share no doubt, lol
I will be using one of my Aromamizers on it for sure, with dual twisted TI coils in temp mode :)

The biggest difference to NI and TI wire is ease of use and some people have an intolerance for NI200 too. personally i used NI200 for ages then tried Titanium and have not used NI200 since.
I use two strands of 26awg TI twisted together to make a single wire and then wrap 4/5 turns around a 2.5mm bit to make a coil that comes out around .18ohms and runs happily from 25w up to around 35w.
You can naturally use a single wire and 24awg to get a similar ohms and use 25w or less.

If you go with NI you will need 28awg and around 7 spaced wraps, its a pain to wrap but will work fine in the lemo, though some people have trouble getting temp mode stable with the lemo but there is a 510 pin trick that fixes them.
 
Can you take a pic of your wicking?

Not the best pic but here.....

I pulled a piece of the cotton bacon off about 6mm thk, fluffed it up a little then rolled one end and pushed it through the coil, then pulled until even, snipped a bit off each end and fluffed it back up, making sure it covered the juice holes.

That blurred slug looking thing is the previous wick.

I don't need a 3 post deck but I do need a 6ml extension ;)

E: those struggling to find the aromamizer rdta, look for the aromamizer occ, same thing just a coil in place of the deck, all parts ARE interchangeable ;)

Thank you for that information, I might just get the Melo 2 tank and some premade coils. I am still struggling with getting normal coils to 0.5 and getting the wicking right and loosing patience with myself lol.
 
I was thinking more along the lines of 6ml cap for 2 post deck (both retail at SC for the same value!) As I'd rather keep my 3ml cap for out and about, need the 6ml cap at home, refilled the thing 7 times on saturday with the 3ml!!!
 
Loving this Smok TFV4. It really has such a premium feel and look and vapes like a beast. Immense plumes on direct lung hits. Absolutely no signs of leaking whatsoever, and using the triple coil. Compared to my subtank mini where there seems to be slight leaking from the bottom, not sure if it's the o- ring seeping liquid, as the outside of the glass tank felt moist and some droplets of liquid on my table. A very different vape too. The subtank always gives a loud pop on every press of the button and crackles, so I make sure I don't put it to my mouth before the pop or it spits hot liquid, whereas the Smok is completely silent, no pop or crackle.

Subtank Mini = Subaru Impreza
Smok = Bentley

:D

But it's draining my 18650 fast like it's powering the national grid. This is the first time I've drained a battery before my other 18650 is fully charged. I wish I could use my 18350s while it's charging.
 
Elegant Vapor are showing stock of both the 3ml top cap and the Velocity deck as separates guys...

Merlin... time to buy a spare set of 18650's ... :)

That's a shame dude, I'd do your 3ml for my 6ml as the deck would be a spare anyway(which I've learnt in the vaping game are always handy!)

As a side note, checkout artisanvapour, they do the whole atty for sub £28! Cheapest I've seen.
