Yes, the veco can be used with fairly thick oils, but one drawback I've found with it is that it leaves alot of oil, about 0.3g or ~0.25ml stuck around the sides of the tank that won't get to the atomizer when the tank is low. Not a problem if you keep on refilling, or if your mix is very viscous, like some very terpene-lubricated distillate. You get the advantage of cheap, pre-made ccells, TC, and the easiest coil-changing compared to any other tank I've seen. You can swap coils without emptying the tank or getting your fingers sticky or leaking out.
The cubis pro mini doesn't have pre-made ceramic coils, and only one of their pre-made coils, the "notchcoils" have sufficient wicking slots to work with thick, uncut concentrates. I'm not a fan of metal coils and cotton wicks, however, so I've modified many of the regular coils with ceramic donuts, ceramic wick and extra wicking holes, and they work great for smooth ceramic flavor, rapid-repeat clouds, efficiency, and leak-proof too. You can read about that and much more on
this thead.
As for the smok RBA coil, I'm using the one for the "x-baby" tank which is slightly different from your baby beast in the way it has top-airflow like the cubis and veco tank. I've watched smok's tanks for a long time and waited and passed on them until they finally made top air so I don't have to worry about leaks, and the x-baby finally did that. They also have a similar RBA coil for the baby beast to make your own TC ceramic coil, if you've had success avoiding leaks with that tank so far, but I'd expect it as an eventuality with bottom-air.
The "default" (not RBA) coils for the smok tanks are all with kanthal wires and cotton wick, and won't TC on most mods, from what I can gather too? (So more reason to avoid for me)
I've been watching these e-cig tanks for a while now too, and I've tried a few of them with concentrates and had some various setbacks and failures, so finding success with some of these tanks I've mentioned has been quite satisfying
Just randomly, the smok x-baby RBA coil with the dual 10mm donuts is the only one I've set up with a really thick, minimally cut distillate so far. I've worked with co2 oil much more before this one, and just recently got into distillates. I have a couple of cubis mini tanks set up with dual 5mm donuts running some thinner-cut, less viscous distillates and those rip some chunky clouds as well, although I don't favor that type of distillate as much. I have no doubt the donut-mod cubis would work just as well with thicker distillates too, and I plan to cycle over to some when I finish vaping down what I have currently loaded on the tanks.
The veco (or some of the other vaporesso tanks) would be the one to go for if you want ready-to-go ceramic coils that won't leak on you, although that line of tanks uses the generic, porous silica "cCells" not the alumina ceramic donuts that I use in my builds, or the silicon carbide wick w/ Ti metal wire heater like in the trinity.
Generically, ccells are ok, much better than bare cotton+wire, but I think alumina donuts or a SiC wick can provide much better, smooth flavor and coil longevity.
And for sure top air FTW! That's great that you've avoided any leaks so far on your trinity,
@elmoe420, but I've seen a few other people over here getting minor leakage with them. It seems like it's only a matter of time to have oil leak out through bottom threads on a filled tank with bottom air intake.
Hey, that's great you've had success with this tank too. Just because you don't want to use TC or a box mod, doesn't mean you have to be forced to use a smaller sized tank with less features and the necessary compromises that come with it.
With the drizzle, you still get the ccells that are easy to change, and the leak-resistant top airflow design, like the veco.
Seems like a good pick for a mech-mod and you can probably get good results if you pulse the button and don't hold it down for to long to avoid over-heating the coil.
Another similar tank for these purposes that some FC people like is the liberty V9 for a smaller sized ccell with top-air and filling. They're 1.2 ohm also, so theoretically they might be able to TC, but I'm not sure on that, I have a few of these on the way to me so I'll find out soon.
Wow, so you vape about a quarter-gram of lightly terpenated concentrate you made in a single session, and you feel no effect?
What's all that about?
So don't have lab tests, but we figure your qwet is at least 50-60% cannabinoids. You're body is taking in at least 100-120mg, in a method that should be highly bio-active. And no effects?
What type of battery / mod and settings where you using? You were getting adequately sized, visible, voluminous clouds of vapor too?
Like how many puffs, I figure a few dozen at least? If nothing strange is going on, maybe it's just your tolerance is too high from conducting all these experiments for us haha
But one thing I can think of is maybe alot of the oil was wasted by spitting / clogging by having power / temp settings too low, or by puffing too hard? That happened to me one time when I over-filled a 5mm donut cubis mini tank with runny distillate at a temp setting too low - I spitted / sucked up probably 200mg before I corrected my air throttle and temp settings.
