@Earthling789's recommendations are spot on. If you are still unsure about which batteries would be best, there is a guy named John Muchow who has done very extensive testing on different brands of batteries. He goes by "Mooch" on one of the other forums, but he also does a battery blog on Phil Busardo's site.

The delrin drip tip stayed nice and cool, I burned my lips on the hot vapor coming out. Right now I've got it set at 39.7W and can only draw on it just a little under two seconds before it gets too hot for me. Don't know how you guys do this all the time.
Honestly, I normally run the .15 ohm coils in my baby beasts at 75-85 watts, depending on the juice. The vapor I get from that isn't as warm as the smoke from a cigarette (to me).

Physiology is playing just fine here, I even burned my lips a little so I don't think it's just me. My PG/VG ratio is 30PG/70VG and the nic is at 3 mg, which is what I use when I vape on a 1.8 ohm coil. While that increase in nic might be a little mind blowing, I also vape 24 mg nic on a 1.8 from time to time (usually at work when I can't vape as often), so this shouldn't be a problem, should it? I have a couple of 0 nic juices I could try, but I'm still working on the hot vapor problem as well. *sighs*
How did you burn your lips with a delrin drip tip?
Vaping 24mg @1.8 ohms vs vaping 3mg at .4 ohms can definitely make a difference. With the .4 ohm coil, you're vaporizing the nicotine more efficiently and you're also producing a lot more vapor than what you do with your preferred setup.

Okay, so I've heard both you and @Earthling789 tell me that subohm coils and high watts do not necessarily have to mean hot and harsh vapor. I'm using the Q2 coil and have tried everything from 20W to 50W. The higher the watts, the hotter and harsher the vapor. Yes, the airflow is wide open -- so much so that I can see through to the other side. What am I doing wrong?
I suspect one of two things is going on (or possibly both).
#1 - A classic example of "what is hot to one person isn't necessarily hot to another" or
#2 - Psychology is coming into play. It's possible you have "psyched" yourself into believing that sub-ohm vaping is supposed to be hot, therefore your experience is a hot vape.
As far as harsh vapor is concerned, it might be the PG/VG ratio. I know I prefer 80% VG in my liquids for sub-ohm purposes. Some juices I can vape at 70% VG, but anything lower and it does tend to be a little harsh for my tastes. Also, since I don't know what nic level you are at, if you didn't drop the nic level by at least half (and I know you normally like vaping at 1.8 ohm), then suddenly vaping 3mg nic liquid will be mind blowing, and not in a good way. As high as you normally vape ohm-wise, you should probably decrease the nic by 75%.

Damn. Wanted to try TC but wasnt gonna chance it without verifying the material.

There's still that one thousandth of a percent where I'm not positive. However, since SMOK doesn't make drop-in coils with SS wire, it doesn't make sense that they would be sending SS coils with their RBA decks.

Does anyone know what material the stock RBA coils are made of? Based on the resistence I get I think it's stainless steel.

I'm about 99.999% sure they are Kanthal.

I would recommend using a baby beast by smok it's a sub-ohm tank. I used in myself when I started vaping it works great with all kinds of juice. an it has a good variety of coils you can get for it. you can get it online for around $30 and the coils at my local shop for about $3.50 it may vary where you are located but it shouldn't be more then $4 a coil
The Baby Beast, if you decide to go that route, is currently available from Vapor Talk's own store for $21.95. Replacement coils are currently available for $15.95 to $19.95, which is right in the range mentioned above.

So when you do have leakage issues, what do you do? See? Still listening...
I keep shop rags around. In my car, in my work laptop case, in my desk at work...places like that. My leakage issues are typically limited to the things I mentioned above; warm days or drastic altitude changes. When a tank starts to leak, I wrap a shop rag around the air holes or slots and blow into the tank to blow out the liquid that has leaked. After that, I fire the mod to heat the coil and simultaneously blow. That will burn off any liquid that didn't get blown out. Then I return to my regularly scheduled vaping session.
Preventing leaks in the first place is key, as you know. Keeping your tanks in good working order (regularly inspect O-rings and gaskets, check glass integrity, proper installation of coils, etc.), don't over-fill, keep tanks upright (even the best tanks will leak when they are on their side), and keep in mind that thinner liquids are going to be more prone to leaking will help prevent leaks from happening in the first place.
Also, one other cause of leaks is NOT vaping a tank completely. If a tanks with liquid sits for a couple of days without being used, the vacuum that is created through the act of vaping will slowly release and liquid WILL leak out.

Based purely on the wrap, I would say that's an LG HE4. It's a good battery. As your family member how old the battery is, though. The LG, Samsung and Sony batteries last quite a while if cared for properly, but they do eventually run their course and won't take a charge anymore. Even if the battery is brand new (and from the looks of the wrap, it looks fairly new or your family member takes care of his/her batteries), I would do as @Earthling789 suggested, go out and buy at least two more. Put dates on them (preferably with a label maker if you have access to one, but a Sharpie or other permanent fine tip marker will do).
As far as the mod itself, it'll fire down to .1 ohm (up to 3 ohms), so your range of options as far as an atomizer just increased a little bit.
The Kanger Subtank mini or Toptank mini, as have already been suggested, are both excellent choices. Currently I'm partial to the Baby Beast, which the Koopor mini 2 can handle quite easily.

Leakage is actually an issue that can arise with any tank, not just the "Beast" line. Atmospheric conditions, drastic altitude changes, VG/PG ratio, coil priming method...all of these can lead to leaking. I have Baby Beasts and Cloud Beasts in my daily rotation and, with the exception of the occasional extra warm day or trip to the mountains, I don't have any leaking issues with any of my tanks. They both have their advantages and disadvantages over each other. The Cloud Beast has a larger capacity, but the Baby Beast is slightly more convenient due to its more compact size. They are both workhorses and I really wouldn't rate one better than the other.

There's a Baby Beast in my VT store cart and I'm wanting to get extra coils for it to put into my order. If I'm looking for a good combination of flavor and vapor, which coil would you suggest? I'm looking at you, @Adversarious1 although any and all recs are welcome!
Give me a minute to pick my jaw up from the floor. It immediately dropped upon learning @Tamis pulling the trigger on a Baby Beast.
The only coils I've used are the T8 (.15 ohm) and the Q2 (.4 ohm version that comes pre-installed).
Both coils provide a nice balance between flavor and vapor. The T8 coil has a slightly tighter draw than the Q2 and as a result, it is easier to mimic the MTL style you prefer. And yes, even though it is a sub ohm tank and is meant for DTL hits, it is possible to MTL with this tank.

I'm the exact opposite from @Bebop. I tend to stick to fruit based flavors as my ADV's and occasionally mix it up with the coffee flavors and "dessert" flavors. To this day, more than 2 years after I started vaping, one of my favorite ADV's is the very first one I ever tried and is from a local shop - Lemon & menthol.
I do get "vaper's tongue" though, no matter how hydrated I stay. When that happens, I will typically switch from berry to citrus or vice versa for a few days or I'll vape something pastry or dessert flavored for a couple of days and that will usually take care of it.
Other than that, I have never been able to find a single juice that is my "be all, end all". Not even that very first juice I tried. In this case, the only thing I can think of is that, while your taste buds are working again, it's possible you may be confusing the heck out of them with all of the different flavors you're throwing at them.

Various Mechs with various RDA's.
Yes, those are all currently in my daily rotation. I've had a stressful month at work. Hopefully things will be getting back to normal here in a couple of days.

Hello people, am i right are those e cigs kinda dangerous for your health or not, couse on inet are too many oppinions! Thanks
There is an increasingly large amount valid research to support vaping as a safer alternative to smoking cigarettes and there is a lot of propaganda still being spread based on old and flawed studies. The propaganda is being spread largely by people who are either ignorant to the fact they are citing flawed studies or by people who would rather see smokers continue to smoke traditional cigarettes because of the tax money it generates.
Asking on a vape forum whether ecigs are dangerous to your health or not is probably not the best place to get a fair answer to that, though. The vast majority of us, (and by vast majority, I would guess better than 99% of us on this particular forum), started vaping to quit smoking and we will tell you all day long vaping is safer than smoking. We will tell you that because we have seen firsthand how it has helped most of us.

Thanks y'all!! Been zero nicotine for 2 months now and plan to stay that way.
Zero nic makes mixing a LOT easier!! Congrats on hitting that Zero mark!

I'm with @Bebop. Every drop of flavoring is meticulously counted. Milliliters of PG, VG and nic base are painstakingly measured in a tireless effort to achieve the ultimate vape. Except for that whole Zamfir, thing. I prefer something a little more up-tempo. Zeppelin, Sabbath, perhaps some Jethro Tull or perhaps if I'm in a reflective mood, some Joe Satriani or Eric Johnson. Yanni, maybe...but NEVER Zamfir.
Oh...and the only thing I use a highball glass for is...well...a highball.
Just wait until you start pairing your juices with your favorite adult beverages, @Walt. It will open up even more doors, options and ideas than you ever thought possible.

FYI - Samsung makes their 25R2 (blue wrap) and 25R5 (green wrap) in "button top".

It's entirely possible that is a particle from the actual coil.
You can read this information that was posted and pinned here about ceramic coils.
Feel free to form your own opinion, but it was because of this article (and a little bit of my own research subsequent to reading it) that I refuse to use ceramic coils for the time being.
