I'm traveling a lot more for work and am experiencing a lot more work related anxiety. I usually carry my cannacaps with me when I travel, for the actual traveling, but as they take too long to kick in they don't help with my anxiety. I went back to making thcjuice, used up the last of my puffmajic and ordered a joyetech eVic VTC mini with the cubis tank (thanks for your info,
@Vape Donkey 650!). I finally got it yesterday.
Evic (Vtwo mini?) and an original CUBIS tank, nice to see this gear catching on!
Way better than a "vape pen"
A few notes: it appears you have the original CUBIS (not the cubis pro or cubis pro mini) which lacks the top-air flow control, with the coil head mounting directly to the mouthpiece. While this tank does have the same leak-resistance as the other cubis tanks, the lack of airflow control reduces the adaptability of this tank. For your next tank fill-up, you may want to accquire a CUBIS Pro 4ml.
It has barely been a day so waaaay too early to tell, but I really like it so far! Not sure about any of my temp/power settings, I have 2 other atomizers to use, 0.5ohm SS and something called Clapton. So far no leaking although today I found some residue under the mouthpiece. Could be vapor condensation......I hope it's just vapor condensation.
What makes the other tanks leak so much? Do I need to thicken or thin the viscosity of the thcjuice? I added some nicotine ejuice that a friend had once, completely spur of the moment, and it seemed to reduce leaking and popping, but that was so haphazardly done that I can't really reproduce it.
The residue under the mouthpiece is normal, probably a combination of condensed vapor and spitting juice. Every tank I've used will do this with continued use, to some extent. It may just drip back down into the coil and tank if it's not too viscous. If it becomes problematic or blocks the drip tip, just remove it and remove the blocking liquid / oil with a dab tool or toothpick.
About your coil and settings, I'm a bit puzzled here. 1.18Ω is weird. As
@Accept noted, you have the regular SS coils @ 0.50Ω, the claptons are about 1.5Ω, and also some Ti / Ni / "notched" SS coils around ~ 0.25Ω or so for TC. Your 1.18Ω is way in the murky middle there, I think you may have screwed a 0.5Ω SS coil onto the evic mod when it was just used and warmed, and you didn't have the coil Ω locked in?
I can't imagine how your mod could mistake the 1.5Ω clapton as 1.18Ω
The complete list of coil heads for the cubis series is
here in the middle of the page
If it's working for you, it's working, that's great. There should be no need to thicken or thin the juice further if your wick is staying wet. But you may want to try to remove the tank, let everything cool down fully for a few minutes and re-attach the tank (ensure ALL parts are screwed in tightly for good contact) to the mod and try to get a lower Ω, then "lock" that in, (until you change the coil, of course)
Having the measured Ω off even a little (0.01-0.02Ω) can make the temp control act erratically, fluctuate, end even drop out of TC into watts / power mode. If that hasn't been happening to you, that's fine, but I think you can fine tune some variables still.
420F is fine if accurate, but 50w is also more than needed for a 1 ohm or 1.5Ω coil. With temp control functioning, you shouldn't run the risk of burning anything up or damaging your equipment or your oil with excess power, but it also makes temperatures more peaky and less smooth. 50w is ok for the 0.5Ω or 0.2Ω coils, maybe 30w for the claptons? We need to identify just which coil you're using right now
But anyways, good luck with the tanx, I went and made my latest CBD tank for similar reasons as you. It's the perfect meds when I'm feeling stressed or anxious. Such times are when I really don't like to meticulously load non-liquid concentrates on a "layg" atomizer, so I have been favoring this new co2 tank lately as my lazy, go-to vape.
Whether for thc, cbd, nicotine, terps, or some mix of these, a high-performing tank makes for some
quick, effective,
easy titration in a way that eating a cannacap or edible can't
Hey everyone, new poster, past lurker here. I'm looking to pick up some THC oil, I don't know what kind, but I assume it's co2. I'm looking to mix it with some vapor extract or holy terp to dilute it and fill a tank. Is the Cubis tank the way to go?
Thick oil or thinned juice, I think we've determined the CUBIS series is a good choice to avoid leakage, just pick the right size and coil head for your uses, or experiment and see what you like.
For mixing juices, the big 4ml CUBIS pro might be a better choice for big capacity, and since your juice will be less viscous, it won't easily get stuck in the bigger nooks-and-crannies, fjords and canyons that every tank has, and you can swish it around to keep the coil wet, to use the last drop, in a way I can't do as easily with thicker co2 oil.
If you try different coil heads, make sure you're using the right settings on your mod: using the correct TC mode to match your coil wire material, the proper wattage and temperate setting, and also ensuring the coil resistance measured on your mod is as low and accurate as you can get it.
Usually dispensary Oils are ready for use and no addons required.
That depends on what your intended use is. Some live-resin type BHO prefilled in a 2 ohm cart and cut with PEG
(blegh ) is "ready for use" but is also a pitiful travesty and desecration of a marvelous, pristine product, at least in my opinion, for my uses
You could get a pure, high-quality unadulterated co2 oil in a club, and it's 'ready for use' for general dabbing, "layg", vaping or eating, but it's not
really ready for a majority of un-modified RTA type gear
There is a cornucopia of possible devices. You narrow it down by what it is YOU want (this time).
Yup, but it helps is you know
exactly what you want and to do a little research. Alot of people dive into these kind of projects without really knowing
why sometimes or knowing exactly what they want / expect out of it.
Set some specific goals
Cool! E-juice is perfect for on-the-go. 420F isn't a bad temp, oddly enough. You're running 1.8 Ohms at 50W? Clapton coils are wrapped from a wire that has another wire wound around it. Popular with cloud-chasing builds.
With nic juice, leaking is just a messy inconvenience. With canna, it's heartbreaking. Puff Majic should be fine out of the bottle. Was the nic juice you added PG or VG?
My same thoughts on the temp and wattage settings, and the leakage issue as well. Seeing 70% thc co2 oil seep out of the bottom of my coils with my old MELO tanks was indeed heartbreaking and even more frustrating,
I'm quite happy I seem to have found a solution to the leakage! (?
?)
Loving current dual coil RDA build - six wraps 24AWG SS at 26.5J, 405F. Recommend RDAs over tanks for canna if only because you use a few drops at a time, instead of heating up your whole stash. It's easier than you might imagine. Typically drip just once a day.
No doubt you're loving your built, wrapped coils, but for me, using a cotton wick and/or PG-VG makes my throat allergic
so for "load as you go" vaping I highly prefer ceramic attys like the divine tribe - I feel the vape is much tastier and smoother with such atomizers...but hey, different strokes for different vapers
That's why we're here sharing our different combos, formulas and experiences.
At least with the cubis RTA and temp control set properly, I think I've found it's possible to vape a substantial amount of oil on the same coil continuously with minimal degradation and reclaim buildup. It seems what's remaining on my most heavily vaped and re-filled (pure cure) tank is mostly the non-cannabinoid, non-terpenoind, (un-vapeable) stuff, so I don't even really want to inhale that part of it!
For sure, I am heating "my whole stash" a little bit with each hit. It is a compromise, in the sake of convenience, but i feel it has been well worth it, IME, and a minimal trade-off.
Thank you for your response! Currently using a Divine Tribe V3 on a Teslacigs TC40W battery, mostly using honeycomb concentrate, hard to get the right temp settings. Looking to move to a more traditional e-cig set up, such as a rebuildable tank. I only have experience with the Nautilus tank for vaping, it wasn't bad. Heavily considering a drip set up as well.
Hmm...having issues finding the right spot on your DT v3? Don't be shy or intimidated by our haughty vape-nerdery
hop into that thread and ask, there's plenty of cool people to offer help. I have not used any tesla mods myself, but I know of several guys that are using them successfully with DT 2.5 / 3.0s. From what I hear, the temp control is not quite as spot-on or adjustable as joyetech or DNA mods, but they still work just fine. I must concede the Divine Tribes aren't the easiest atty to setup, initially, if you are not very experienced, but once you get it dialed in.... my DT v3.0's rip
waaaay harder than my tanks, it's just on me to keep them filled up with good stuff
(and scrape away the reclaim after use)
Load, use, reload, what a chore, right?
I could be so diligent, yet so lazy at times
