Shot dude. Me happy now.
Not a tank I often post up here but it was time to refill the mighty SubTank Mini
It's a very special mix in here, which has been "locked down" for quite a long time (about 3 years)
The main part is my "VM Strawberry menthol blend". Also add just a bit of @Paulie 's Guava (his first version). Then 6 extra drops of VM Menthol. And about 15 drops of 36mg PG nic. All into the tank and then shake and swirl.
This mix is great for me. The VM Strawberry menthol is a favourite juice blend of mine for this tank. Adding Paulie's Guava transforms it. I didn't think strawberry and guava would go well but they do. Discovered this a few years ago. Gives it a lovely luscious guava taste and adds some body. Makes it a bit sweeter too. Then there's the iciness. I love my menthol and the extra menthol drops gives that glorious throat singe on longer drags. If you dont want the throat burn, you just take a short drag but when you need more, you keep pulling and it burns nicely! The extra nic just takes it up a tad because my VM Strawberry blend is about 11mg and the Paulies Guava I have is 9mg. Needs to be a bit stronger in this tank.
It's a basic 2mm ID 28g Kanthal single coil in there ohming out at 1.2 ohms. I vape it at a low 11-12Watts. Restricted lung (biggest airhole on Subtank Mini). It needs a bit more nic to keep me satisfied.
Such a gorgeous vape and quite potent if you drag for longer
The tank is amazing. It's the Subtank Mini V2 with the RBA base that has the bigger juice holes. It's so easy to coil and wick and its easy to fill. This tank has NEVER leaked on me in over 3 years!
The mod is the mighty iStick50. I LOVE this mod. It has served me so well with this SubTank Mini. The mod fits perfectly in my hand, has a long battery life of 4,400 mah and lasts for ages at this low power. The way I use this setup it needs charging about every 2 weeks! It hasn't ever given me an issue. I truly worry what I will do when the internal battery decides to give up - but so far so good. So sorry I didn't buy two of them.
This mod and tank carried me through VapeCon 2016 and then became my dedicated "car mod". I don't leave it in the car but I take it with me when I go. I don't vape it all that much at home but use it out and about. Not too much vapour when driving and such a great refreshing icy vape for those hot days in the car.
For the photo shoot I took off the mod sleeve and the tank band. With the sleeve on, this mod doesn't slip and its rugged.
Such a dependable setup allround. I know it's old and @Rob Fisher would say it comes from the bullrushes - but man with the right juice this setup does it for me and keeps on going without a hitch. Love it to bits.

I still think that tank was a game changer and had a huge influence on the current RTAs of today. Brilliant tankNot a tank I often post up here but it was time to refill the mighty SubTank Mini

PS. Love the colour of your granite tops. Beautiful
Agreed!
Game changer of note!!!
PS - thanks on the granite tops - one doesnt see the dirt on them - i love it - hehe
I love that colour. I have black ones and they are a PITA to keep clean. Just a small smudge and it looks someone tried to rub peanut butter into it. But it came with the house when i bought it, so i cant really complain
Dvarw Pit Stop.
Going away to the Midlands for the weekend for a wedding... Pit Stop time! Solar Storms resting upside down just in case there is any juice lurking in the 510.
What RTA's do you prepare for a wedding in the Midlands? Golden Dvarw's of course!
Time for a major pitstop on Reo Black (aka Thumper)
Catch cup and RM2 needs a clean
A new coil is needed. This paracoil has served for a few months. Eek. Blackbird does this to coils and wicks - but after dry burning it can hold up for a long time.
Got all the tools and cleaning agents ready
Quite amazing how many things are needed for such a small device. Rubbing alcohol , deoxit gold , pliers, wire cutters , screwdrivers, wire , ohm meter. Gosh it's a lot of stuff. Lol

All done
Cleaned up the catch cup and RM2 as best as I could.
New coil - 0.45 ohm 29g Ka paracoil. 5 dbl wraps. Not perfect but it will do.
Wicked with CB2 and lubed up with PG/VG. Ready to go!
And voila. Thumper is back. Coil is firing with vigour and flavour is crisp and vivid. Aaah , this is good. It's a diluted Blackbird blend in there... MTL heaven....

Not really a pit stop so much as a pack away!
For space reasons my man cave was taken away from me and I had a man desk, which became a man-corner, alas the time has come for that to be packed away!
So anything I haven't used in 6 months has been boxed for "storage". I actually can't believe how much stuff I have that I don't use!

But you're the one that gave it to me!Dibz on a Subtank Mini (if you ever decide to let go
It's a back-up for when this current one bites the dust. But say the word and it's yours!
Quick refill of the Dvarw and Skyline
Both are such wonderful tanks and work well for me for fruity menthols.
Skyline pips the Dvarw a bit on flavour sharpness but the Dvarw's bigger tank and easier fill make up for it.
Love them both
