New Drip, I totally agree with you on sub ohm vaping.iI notice a huge difference between a .5 and something like a 1.5 or 2 in the same tank with the same juice.Im now making my own coils aiming for .5 to .7 .Using A Kanger Subtank and a Kanger minne .So easy to rebuild the factory OCC and they also come with a RBA setup.
Yeah I’ve been working with the Kanger RBA and noticed it doesn’t wick well wick low ohm builds (.2-.3) so I bored the opening a bit so the cotton would extend into the tank and use more cotton. Now it’s wicking good and it hits real similar to a dripper.
ii haven’t tried the RBA because of that reason,from what I’ve seen on YouTube .How big did open it up?and would open it more or less?
I didn’t measure but I’d say about 3 mls. I used a hand held grinder and a small grinding stone and enlarged the juice channels and the bottom of the cap enough for the cotton to extend into the tank.
Are you happy with the results
I’m very happy with it. I was skeptical about Sub Tanks (RTA’s) but now I’m looking to try one out. I recently made a new post on RTA’s and waiting to see what people have experienced with them. Maybe you can follow that thread and get more info.
Somebody already asked about them so I’m gonna withdraw my thread. Here’s the link to the previous thread.
I’m really happy with my Kanger Subtank at this point.Heard great things about the Lemo. I still use my Innokin I taste at work to stealth Vape during the day to keep it on the lowdown,where as my Heatvape Defender still puts out a lot of vape even when I knock down the wattage.
Going to mod the Kanger RDA and see how that works out.Meanwhile I just rebuild my Kanger Occ coils for pennies on the dollar.

I haven’t tried to rebuild the OCC yet. I’m gonna review a video and see how its done.
I followed this and it worked out great:
Just be very careful that your positive lead isn’t in contact with the casing which would be very easy to do if you are not careful about placement.

Is it just me or did this derail off topic? I’ve just started dripping and am wondering what the difference for flavor percentage, Dripping vs tank is if any?
Don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t change the percentages in my mixes for dripping as opposed to tanks. Some folks change the Nic level around (don’t know why); I don’t.
I’d guess it is because people who use drippers typically straight lung inhale and those who use tanks (like clearomizers) mouth-to-lung inhale. I’d imagine it’d be a bigger buzz (maybe unpleasantly so) to lung inhale an 18mg juice if you’re not used to it…?

You’ll only do that once ! Horrible chest discomfort for about 15 minutes the first time I did it. Ugh.

Oddly I disagree but get your point. I favor vaping over dripping. I can not tolerate anything other than stock coils. Lowest I’ve gone is 0.2 ohms and Yes the flavor is incredible I still prefer vaping over dripping. The reason for this is I can only lung hit a sub ohm and I prefer mouth to lung hits.
After I posted I realized it’s a preference thing. Some people can’t handle that amount of vapor. I’m a full throttle type guy and vaping at 100w is good to me. Some love it and some don’t. Me personally… I love it.
Do u mean tanks over RDAs?

I use 18mg in a Beyond Vape Silo and 6mg in a Sub Tank this suits me.
I have mixed several successful custard type liquids for the Silo but seem to always over flavour liquids for the Sub Tank
Must try harder and show some restraint
Yes, I started out with a Vulcan and just couldn’t do it. Tried changing things up and went down to zero Nic . So can only do RTA in sub ohm preferred coil 0.5-0.6.
My max at any time is probably 20-25 watts.
100 watts you say you love wow I could not even imagine 
I’d think it has a lot to do with the PG/VG ratio, too. Clearomizer style tanks (I lump RTAs in with RBAs) can’t usually handle the higher VG liquids like an RBA or RTA can. At least, in my experience my clearomizers have choked on high VG. PG carries flavor better than VG, so it would make sense that a higher PG liquid in a clearomizer would seem to have stronger flavor than the same percentage of flavor in a high VG liquid in an RBA or RTA. But, RBAs and RTAs are said to have better flavor, so, I don’t know. I want do a side by side with a magma and my protank once I get the dang magma. 
I think it’s due to the higher concentration of vapor. The most common way I’ve heard it described is a warm dense vape.

A lot of that has to do with size of the coil. The smaller the coil the lower the wattage. Until recently I wouldn’t even consider 100w on a tank… but the newer tanks can handle that power without burning your juice. With bigger coils it takes a lot of watts to heat them. But once they’re heated it’s vape paradise.
