Upgrade Time!

I have been happily vaping for near on two years now, current kit is an itaste MVP and an Aspire ET-S Glass BDC tank but looking to change to something newer. MVP lasts me around 24hrs between charges.

I like the look of the 50w Eleaf battery but what tank for it? the Lemo seems quite popular? I usually change my BDC coils every 7-10 days (although they are quite cheap and easy to change) i'm looking for something disposable coil wise.

I'm stuck on T-Juce's Vamp Vape (16mg) and have been for over a year now (tried plenty of others but this works for me) its quite a thick juice and red in colour so goes through coils quite quickly.

Any help would be much appreciated data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

The Lemo is rebuildable only so you would have to make and wick your own coils for that one. If you want disposable coils then take a look at the subtank range. The mini and nano versions come with a 0.5ohm and a 1.2ohm coil and you can pick up a pack of 5 coils for about £10. The mini is a little bigger than the nano, but also comes with an RBA section, which means you can also build your own coils in the future should you wish to go down that route. I have a subtank mini and have just bought the plus version as well. The plus is the same as the mini but is bigger (25mm diameter compared to 22mm on the mini) and holds more juice.
Most other 'sub-ohm' tanks also come with disposable coils and they are all roughly the same amount I believe. If you do go down the sub-ohm route then be prepared to learn to lung inhale (if you haven't already) and drop your nic level considerably. I dropped down from 12mg to 3mg when making the switch.

If you're not looking to get into sub-ohming just yet then there are a range of tanks available that will be suitable, main ones that spring to mind are the nautilus and nautilus mini. Decent tanks for mouth to lung inhales.

If you want to look at rebuildables though then that opens up a whole range of different tank options. Currently I have a taifun GT, Kayfun v4 and Squape R, all good mouth to lung tanks which work well over 1 ohm ( can possibly get away with sub-ohm builds but not too low though and you will need to get a kit for the kayfun). I'm sure there are others that I can't think of right now and I'm sure other people will chime in with other tanks as well.

Thanks for the quick reply @walks the Lemo is out of the question then!

As per my 'disposable' coil option I did consider the Nautilus as it's an Aspire item and they have been good for me so far and a quality item....maybe just a bit dated now?? The best part it the coils are around the same cost, anyone use one on an 50w Eleaf and have something to chip in on how it looks/performs? I will look into the others, thanks....

I used the mini nautilus on an istick 30w and it looked good and performed well. I don't have it anymore so can't show you any pictures unfortunately.

You could also consider this: http://myepack.co.uk/mods/kanger-subox-mini-kit.html
You don't have to jump into sub-ohming straight away with this as this comes with a stock coil rated at 1.5ohms and has variable airflow so you can mouth to lung or lung inhale. So you get both options with this kit, plus a nice looking mod as well. You will need to buy a seperate battery though, most people would recommend either a samsung 25r or a sony vtc4, both of which can be bought from the same place. Have a look around on that site, you'll see quite a few tanks under the clearomizers section that may well be what you are looking for.

I can highly recommend the Beyond Vape Silo tank. It's based on the Nautilus but has improved airflow. Takes the same 1.6 or 1.8ohm BVC coils and comes with both a wide and narrow drip tip. I use the 1.6ohm coils at around 12-16w on my Cloupor Mini and the flavour it produces is awesome. I'm not one for massive clouds but I've been kicked out of the livingroom a few times now! I have a Lemo and Kayfun too and like the Silo just as much. Here's a couple of pics...

The Sbox is very nice looking, but I am holding off until they revise it with a spring loaded / floating 510 connector on the mod.Being Kanger, they will update it soon enough!There are also some comments floating about the net about the paint quality (mediocre resistance to scracthces/flaking etc) on the mod section, and the fit of the battery door on the white ones.Phil Busardo also highlighted an issue with the power delivery, but this may have been resolved on production models.So the Subox does look great, but I don't think it is for me just now.

FWIW I have two Kanger Subtank minis and a Nano, and I quite like them, not everybody does though.I'm afraid I can't compare with other tanks for you, as these are all I've ever had.
I now actually prefer the 'dipsosable' OCC coils over the RBA, but I recoil them myself (it's really easy). Having 3 tanks that take the same coils has obvious advantages, I always have a spare coil about somewhere that I can drop in at the slightest sign of coil burnout.

Kanger have redesigned their OCC coils completely, and they are now a vertical coil over the previous horizontal arrangements, so we need to wait and see if they can be as easily recoiled, and how they stand up to use.

Both the Mini and the Nano sit nice on my Istick 50, the Mini matches the width and curve, the Nano less so,the Isticks are designed to look good with 22mm tanks.

That Silo looks nice though @RandomLeedefinitely a contender in this case.I might have to pimp my tank as I like that look.

Can't go wrong with this as it's the first time in one and a half years of vaping that I can actually say this is better than cigarettes

And out and about.

Add Mom and Pops Tobacco Praze to the mix and I'm one happy vapor.

I have the kanger subtank mini with the eleaf 50w istick - awesome combo and use the RBA base so build my coils to just under 1ohm with Japanese cotton.
I moved from a nautilus and 20w istick - the difference is night and day.
I dropped my nic level but get through more juice now

I currently use a 50w istick with the Vision MK tank with 0.3ohm coils which has been a pretty good setup. Bought myself an ego one mega today which ive been very impressed with so far.
