    Also, I'm not sure who owns the chain.
    ecirette, purplebox, vape caffe or vintage vapes rooms. 4 great stores all in the city centre.

    Hi guys, I'm vaping with my subox and subtank mini but I almost finished my bases I need to buy some..
    I went few days ago to Ecirette in Talbot Street (Dublin) but I didn't find any. (I bought some FlavourArt concentrate at a good price, lot of choice).
    I would like to try a 70Vg-30Pg and also I need a base with nicotine..
    Which shops are in the Dublin city centre where I can find some?

    Btw, I started today my Rba, it's a pleasure to vape with 1 oHm, 2,5mm 6 coils Kanthal A1 0,28mm, huge clouds and great flavor, perfect compromise!!
    I just fall in love with the Evic vtc-mini..I'll need to wait I just bought my subox and it works to fine for sell it :D:D

    If someone is interested I have an organic Tobacco from Italy, it's crazy good, but I quitted from smoke and I don't like that taste anymore..I swap it for a base :)

    I went few days ago to Ecirette in Talbot Street (Dublin) but I didn't find any. (I bought some FlavourArt concentrate at a good price, lot of choice, how someone can say high price? 4,9€ each!)
    I would like to try a 70Vg-30Pg and also I need a base with nicotine..
    Which shops are in the Dublin city centre where I can find some? (purplebox, the vape room, vape caffe, and ecirette don't have any, only the vape room has for 15ml 5-10€ if I'm not wrong.)

    Btw, I started today my Rba, (great job from Kanger with OCC, I would like to have one of the hold horizontal, if someone want we can swap one, I have 4 Occ vertical 1,2 ohm) it's a pleasure to vape with 1 oHm, 2,5mm 6 coils Kanthal A1 0,28mm, huge clouds and great flavor, perfect compromise!!

    Always passed them by myself until last week, just popped in to see what they had, ended up leaving with a ceramic tweezers, yea, it seemed over-priced, but so did the wire cutters i bought in Maplins!

    More of a place to try if you're stuck really or in a hurry! Don't get the impression any of the staff vape themselves either, so not very helpful if you need it

    That looks like one of the new vertical coil OCCs, wonder if that's the problem - replaced mine with the RBA, so can't really comment in those new vetical coils myself, but never had that issue with the original OCC coils

    TBH I'm nearing the end of my tether with my sub tank Nano. I've had a couple of 1.2 coils burn out at 11 watts(newer vertical ones) and the leaking is becoming ridiculous. Not every time with every coil, but the inconsistency is driving me nuts. TBH I stuck with it so far because when they work the flavour is nice, but I'm defo looking around for an alternative. Any ideas? OK I could try the fix with the cotton stuffing, but I shouldn't have to.

    I use a mini and can't get on with the stock could at all. It is a different beast altogether with the rebuildable

    Which is cool FF and good to hear it's working well for you, but I'm not into the rebuilding at all and couldn't see myself going that route TBH. Certainly not as a regular thing anyway.

    In the last half hour on a three day old coil it went from reading 1.2 something to 0.08 ohms and is leaking like a bastard. I've now decanted what liquid was left into a GS Air I had laying around. No leaks and still reading the same Ohms after way more than three days on the same liquid and wattage. Taste isn't as good yes and it tends to splutter more at times, but it was a tenner if memory serves(and holds more juice). A pity cos the Kangertech appealed to me in design terms and flavour but so far the KT Emow tank I had stripped its threads(and leaked like a bitch) after only two months and now this Nano is doing my effin head in.

    Where do you get the coils, are they genuine Kanger?

    Rewicking the rebuildable coil is very easy Wibbs, give it a shot you can't break anything

    and as FF says the SubTank rocks when you get the nack of it

    Just follow this annoying guy (jump to 3:07)

    One of those Kix shops and yep they're genuine checked the anti fake barcode thingie. I actually had the first leakage with one of the coils supplied with the tank. Plus "leaking Kanger" will break Google :) so I'm not alone.

    Appreciate the link KT, but as I said I don't want to be getting into all that stuff. It's just not for me. I'm not that geeky with stuff like that(with vaping, I would be in other things so I do understand the appeal and the savings). I just want a fully realised product where I can stick everything together and vape. So far, though the Kanger stuff looks the biz and yes has great flavour(when it works) the stuff isn't great longevity wise and leaks. At least in my hands. And except for trying the 0.5 coil that came with it I don't sub ohm, almost never go above 17 watts and no way would I be getting into temp control nickel(for all sorts of reasons), so hardly pushing the technology.

    I dunno lads I'm just wary of spending more hard earned on yet another Kanger product/tank, that might be grand if I start building my own coils. You know? That said the flavour is better so it a bit of a :(

    I reckon you'd love a Carto tank Wibbs.

    It's old skool, but I still think it gives a far better flavour than anything else.

    The rubber seal is on correctly?

    Or is it leaking through the air holes?

    Yep and yep. Seems to be mostly leaking through the coil air holes. It varies in severity from coil to coil. Some are much better than others. The one I put in the other day(after the last one died/blew, but didn't leak much at all) is like a bloody tap.

    Have you tried a nautilius? I have a full size one with a few months and it never leaks, less airflow than the subtank but I prefer it that way.

    Really good hassle free vape.

    Thanks YD! Appreciate the offer. :) This morning I got some new juice Liqua French tobacco(on another recommendation from here :)) and decided to strip down the Nano, put in the spare seals and kick off with a new coil. Hopefully I won't have to be going around with a tissue constantly wiping it like it was a Baptist old time religion preacher in a Luisiana tent in summer. :D

    Still I think I got a shít batch of OCC coils. I had some issues before, but nothing like this time. I bought this five pack just over a week ago and one blew, another dropped resistance to 0.03 and the mod refused to fire and the last leaked like a teabag. And I've double checked they are legit Kanger coils. A perusal on the interwebs seems to show some inconsistency with their coils mind you. Kangers own forum seems to have "leaks" in every other post.

    That isn't just limited to subtank coils either. I think most are hand made and you do get the odd Friday afternoon batch.

    I had a batch of protank coils that were all over the shop with resistance and seemed to just burn juice rather than vapourise it..

    For the price you should check out the GS Air tank. Their stock coils are far better than than the Kanger or Aspire equivalents. Tank is a relative bargain @ around €11.

    I find those GS air coils mute the flavour quite a bit. They also gurgle and spit like mad when the get down to the last few mls in the tank.

    That's my experience with them anyway, though I only bought one five pack.

    Yea I have the GS air as my "spare" tank and I found similar. The flavour isn't as strong as the Kanger. Zero leakage mind you, takes a decent amount of liquid and you can't go wrong for the price.

    Never used Occ Horizontal

    OK ye bastids, you're saying it's likely me. To be fair, you're probably right. :D The latest coil isn't leaking. Well there's some seepage, but nothing compared to the last one/few. Looks like me going sub tank Mini and the rebuildable route. Or stuffing the pre made coils with some cotton.

    PS. A huge thanks for the help and info and suggestions, minus the (understandable) oh feck a newb stuff. :) It's why I like this forum on vaping.

    Anyone know how to change the glass tank on a mini?

    I cant for the life of me get the old one off and it has a few chips out of it.

    Thanks

    Should just twist off the orings. If it's really stiff and chipped anyway why not just break it off

    Had to change one on my wife's Subtank. Found that using rubber gloves helped get a grip.

    I just did the same last night.
    The glass wouldn't turn or come off the orings, it was welded on at the top but loose at the bottom and was leaking.
    I wedged a tiny screwdriver (from a glasses kit) in between the top of the glass and the steel 'top cap' and started to wiggle it, hoping it would come off so I could change the orings.
    Well, instead it shattered. My ordeal wasn't over there, because the glass was actually stuck to the top oring, no wonder it wouldn't come off, bonded like it was glued.
    Very odd. Be careful of the glass is what I'm saying, it could be stuck like mine was, in which case good luck getting it off without breaking it!
