Hey guys, started vaping recently, using a subtank mini + cloupor mini. Am interested to get a dripper set to vape high or max VG liquids (wanna cloud chase). What would a entry level (read : cheap) set cost? Can I use my existing mod (max 30w) or do I need something with more powwah? Thx guys!

Nickel (Ni200) wire should only be used on mods that have temp control. The sub box doesn't have TC so no, you shouldn't use nickel wire with it. When nickel is heated past safe temperatures, it produces poisonous fumes. Temp control allows the user to vape safely with this wire.

Built my first twisted Nickel coil on a subtank mini. (I've also filed my juice channels deeper) made the twisted wire out of 32 gauge without a drill lol. 0.15 ohm on the Evic vt mod. Woot!

Yes you have to use Nickel. Quick science reason : Current Temp Control chips calculate your temperature by measuring the resistance of the wire you use as it heats up. Kanthal is engineered to not change resistance much as it heats up so it's very inaccurate to measure the temp this way. Nickel's resistance changes at a uniform measurable rate when it gets hotter so the chips can accurately (to a certain degree) estimate the coil's temperature.

Also, Nickel is a non-resistance wire (meaning the base resistance of the wire is very low compared to Kanthal). Achieving even 0.5ohm's on a nickel build is very difficult as your coil will have way too many wraps to fit in your RDA / RTA. Ni200 builds aim for the below 0.2 ohm range.

Don't ask about watt recommendation when using temperature control, it's the just the amount of power you supply to you coil to hit the temperature you set. More power = faster to hit the temp you set and then the wattage will fluctuate as the chip trys to maintain your coil at that temp.

Instead, ask about the recommended Temp to fire at. And to answer your question, depending on the juice, I usually fire between 370 - 420 degrees Fahrenheit. This one is up to your taste, hotter temps generally result in less flavor, more vapor and warmer vapes.

Good luck, have fun!

Does anyone know where else I can buy 100% plain VG fluid other than the Flavourist ah? I malas to travel to Melawati. (If online, the bottle is worth RM5, but the shipping is RM7. Mcm tak value)

hehe The Flavourist loh.

Still looking for a B&M that deals in plain PG / VG fluid on this side of KL (this side being the PJ, Subang, Shah Alam side)

Hurr Subang is SATURATED. Can't throw a stone without hitting a vape shop.

I'm sure there are more, these are just the ones I know of. They all have FB pages if you need directions. Just FB search their names.

Im using twisted 32awg ni200. 8 wraps, 3mm diameter. 0.22 ohms. When you twist wire you're giving the current twice the amount of mass to flow through, hence the resistance drops.

i've been using a twisted nickel coil in my subtank mini for a week now. Very little spitting / popping. I got massive spits and pops while using single coil kanthal in vw mode.

Subtanks spit problems are based off a variety of factors, such as TC or VW mode.
And juice choice.
And wicking technique.
And inhalation power.
And weather conditions.
And polar alignment.
And time of day.
And position of Moon.
And left hand or right hand grip.
And amount of change carried in pocket.

I love the subtank, I just hope I don't get sick from drinking so much juice.

If you like small mods then the eGrip by joyetech should be fine. Hides in your palm, but it's all in one, can't really customize it much. I think there's a Rebuildable deck for it now though.

If you want a two piece set (tank and mod) then subbox is a very popular starter kit for a lot of my friends.

A dry hit is when your coil is hot but your cotton wick isn't delivering enough juice to the coil so the cotton literally burns. Results in the fiery hot breath of Satan in your throat. Its like burning charcoal then you go stand near and take a deep breath. Mm tasty.

On temp control devices, the mod can sense your coil is too hot for the wick and will shut off the power at that point. Resulting in no dry hits. Maybe just a hint of bitterness on your vape but nothing terrible.
