    hicksvilleshick got a reaction from jasonculp in Bump Everytime You Buy Something New   
    I went out yesterday and hunted down a 30mm triforce. I have the regular one too, so since I'm already buying coils for it, I had to get the bigger one so I don't have to fill so much at work. I wish they had made it in black but I'll live.
    Finally found numbers to change the TCR to get the ni200 coils to work closer to right, so right now I'm running TC on the big tank. I do love the triforces, the production is excellent and flavor is fantastic. Overall I'm pleased with them.

    hicksvilleshick got a reaction from jasonculp in what is the best vape for clouds, quality, simplicity...   
    Depending on what you are looking to spend, I can only reference what I've got that I've been happy with...
    After I decided to step up from my original vape purchase, I got a sigelei fuchai 200w tc and triforce tank. I love it, plenty of production, and flavor is fantastic. (I'm a flavor chaser more than cloud chaser) the con to the fuchai is the tc seems to be lacking, I got ni200 coils with the triforce and couldn't get it to hit right, as I understand the whole TC concept, you are supposed to get better flavor and no dry hits, etc. What I've found with the fuchai, is that since you can't change the TCR (coefficient) you are stuck with their programming. I could crank the temp to max, and still not get as good of a hit as in power mode at 70watts on a regular kanthal coil.
     
    That being said, I also jumped on the wismec rx200 bandwagon. It came with a TFV4 tank. I needed more battery life for while at work. I tried TC with it, (only on the triforce tanks and coils) and again found it lacking, but I found posts that said you could adjust the tcr to 600 and it would be better, and I tried that today with my new 30mm triforce I bought today, and it seems to be working, although I've found if I up the wattage or temp too high, I still get a dry hit. So I'm kinda puzzled with that whole craze.
     
    So all that being said and this getting wordy, the fuchai is awesomely simple, big display, simple menu navigation, easy as easy gets, I like it's screen far better than the rx200's because of size alone. It may perform better in TC with another tank setup, I don't know I've only tried it with the triforce, I haven't bought any TC coils for the TFV4 yet to try it on that. Keep in mind the fuchai only has TC modes for nickel and titanium.
    The rx200 is awesome in itself, battery life is far superior, 3 batteries vs 2, it's a bit more complicated tho, but you have more options for TC, nickel, titanium and stainless steel.
     
    I can't speak to the other mod's you brought up. But unless you are intent on getting into the whole temp control thing, I wouldn't focus too much on it.

    hicksvilleshick got a reaction from jasonculp in looking for a new tank   
    Don't be afraid of the wattage, I have the rx200 and I don't go above 75watts. You set the wattage, it doesn't do it automatically. I got it primarily for battery life, it lasts all night at work and then some for me. I'm also using sub ohm tanks that tend to use a bit more juice.
    I also suggest buying tank/mod combo. I have the rx200 that came with a tfv4 tank and it's a good tank, but I seem to burn thru coils far too fast for my liking, I've only had one last more than a week. But I did just go out and get another triforce for the rx200 this time I got the 30mm one (huge) so I won't have to keep refilling at work. It holds like 12ml vs 5ml like most of the "larger" tanks.
    I seem to have better luck with the triforce coils, but you don't have as many options. tfv4's you can get quad, sextuple, octuple coils and the triforce is either kanthal or ni200, but they seem to last longer. My other mod is a fuchai also a 200watt box, but the temp control on it doesn't seem programmed right for temp control, I just got temp control working on the rx200 and I had to mess with the TCR settings on it to get it to work right. It's stock nickel mode just doesn't produce on the big triforce ni200 coil for some odd reason.
     
    One thing is certain, there is no shortage of choices out there... The market is absolutely flooded with options.

    Howdy! I've been in the vape game literally less than a week. I had been shopping them for awhile, but last saturday I went into a local shop on a whim and walked away with a kangertech subvod kit. Got juice in the shop suggested ratios of 70/30 nicotine 9. Forgive me if this is a bit long, I tend to get wordy sometimes, but I try to keep it somewhat amusing... tl;dr version at bottom.
     
    I freaking took to it like a fish takes to water. I went from a 2+ pack a day of camel lights, to 4 the first day I got it, and 1 first thing in the am sunday and monday. (strictly out of habit first thing waking up) and none since. So I decided if this was good, bigger is better. So Wednesday I went back to the shop, after checking at a couple others, and bought a fuchai 200watt box and a cloud chasers triforce tank. (supposedly this is top of the line stuff) They threw in another free big bottle of juice mixed in their suggest ratios of 10/90 nicotine 6. I was beside myself ready to play with my new toys...
     
    Now let it be known I'm not a cloud chaser by any means, after 2x years of camels, my lung capacity just ain't there. But I have no issue shelling out for good equipment since I'm saving more than a hundy a week on camels. 
     
    Here's the rub. I can't get the mod to hit anywhere near as nice as the subvod. I can cloud far better off the subvod than I can the mod, and even worse, the dang triforce pukes juice non-stop. I've seen the videos explaining about the gasket in the middle and I've fiddled with it and re-seated it, and I am currently working on vaping down to a level to where I can empty it and put a spare that came with it in to see if that helps or not. When I first got it, it was puking before I even got out the store, but they said it needed to get the coil broke in and it would lessen, but that all tanks tend to leak a bit, which I can deal with to a degree, but I filled the tank today for work, and within 30min, it was half empty because it was puking it out the vents on the bottom of the tank. Again, I'm going to change the gasket and hope that helps, but I am definitely open to other suggestions.
     
    As for how the mod hits, I've fiddled with the wattage, on the first juice from purchase, iirc they suggested running it between 60-80 watts. And that was ok, but seemed harsh. They had suggested a nic level of 3 for the mod/tank but I overruled and went with a 6. Old lady got her kanger subvod by mail today so she was going to the shop for juice and I had her pick up another flavor, but upped the nic to 8. Seems just as harsh.(no worse than the first I don't think) Upped the wattage (90-150) and the vapor gets downright hot, and more flavor, but still harsh. currently running it at around 75watts. If I go lower than 65, flavor goes bye bye. So any suggestions for mix ratio and insight as to if I'm going wrong on the nic level would be appreciated too. I think tomorrow I'm going to get another bottle of juice for the mod with the nicotine level like they suggested a 2 or 3...
     
    I guess I should mention I'm running the .2 coil in the triforce. I do have the nickel coil that came with it still, and I bought another .2 so that I've got a spare. I think I've already managed to burn up the .5 that came in my subvod, and I've replaced it with another .5 but it's different than what came with it, the one that came with it was round, the replacement I got is square. I tried to switch back to the round one, but it wouldn't fire. It's running perfect on the square one currently.
     
    So now that I've typed all that up. Lets see if I can do a tl;dr version.
    new vaper
    kanger subvod is awesome running a mix of 70/30 nic 9, and doesn't puke juice.
    Got a 200w mod kit with triforce tank (hoping for less charging and tank refilling) tank pukes it's juice out faster than I can vape it, going to try to change the tank to coil gasket. but other ideas would be great. insight on settings would be helpful, I'm kinda fumbling in the dark. So if anyone knows this box well and has any tips on how to work the features, temp control and whatnot that'd be great, right now I can change the wattage, and lock it, thats about it. lol
    Juice, I think I'm going too high on the nic level for the mod, 9 seems to be perfect for the subvod with the 70/30 mix, I'm not sure if nicotine is whats making the mod harsh or if it's the mix. So insight on mix ratios would be great, I'd like to know what I can run in both the subvod and mod without damaging them or making them leaky.
    I'm sure I've got a million other questions but I'll try to hold off on them til later. For what it's worth I have tried researching these on various forums, but haven't really found anything that explains the why's...
     
    Thanks in advance!

    When I started I used 60PG/40VG.  I moved down to 50/50 and stayed there for a long time.  I then jumped on the High VG band wagon, and stayed there a long time.  I have now settled on either 50/50 or 60VG/40PG.  I do get a better flavor with the higher PG, plus I like the throat hit.  It also will wick in just about any tank with minimal effort.  I am not into clouds, but I use devices that are high airflow and do produce quite a bit of vapor, so I have to be a bit more discrete in public.

    If you are curious you can put your Subvod tank on your box mod, and try it at 12 watts. Just don't try it at 60 watts you will burn the coil out real fast.

    And this is why I love my Eleaf iStick 50W so much, it has a 4400 mAh battery enclosed. Even when I chain vape all day, I only have to charge it every third or fourth day or so.  Regular tanks, sub-tanks, it can take it all!

    There have been a few times I thought we were a little harsh on pushing people to buy more and more backups, but now I know everyone was right.
    I have had a very hard few months at work, and very little sleep.  I broke 1 mod, and 2 tanks in 2 days.  I was very happy that I had a couple of extra tanks and mods.  Luckily I only broke the Pyrex on the tanks so later that week I fixed them.  The mod needed a bit more attention with a soldering iron, but I finally got it going too, but Payed it Forward the following week.

    The difference between the square coils and the round coils is the round are the newest coil kanger makes and I think they use SS416L coils where the square use a Nichrome coil. I think that is the difference but could be wrong. The Subvods I see for sale on the net have the shorter tank but if yours came with a Nano that's a plus. And like Comp said don't use the Ni200 coil in watt mode, and since the Subvod don't have TC don't use it.
    After looking on Sweetvapes I see their Subvod uses the new top fill Nano tank, hard to keep up with everything.

    UPDATE: put new o-ring in the triforce, no more leaking! The juices I've got for the subvod seem harsh now I've got the triforce running properly. Lol got different juice for triforce with lower nicotine and it's a world of difference! So I think I'm too high on my nicotine levels all the way around now except for the latest bottle. As for backups I think I will build up to that, having the subvod and this mod is awesome, I've been carrying both around everywhere. Can anyone suggest another good tank? I was led to believe the triforce is close to top choice, I do like kanger products but I guess I have to find out what will thread onto my fuchai...  thanks again for all the info. Since the ol lady got her subvod yesterday she had only had 1 cigarette. Here's hoping it'll work for her like it has for me.
