Average life of Kanger Temp Control coils

[Cloudmann]

The regular DNA40 (not the rDNA) has a built in battery and it's even smaller than the rDNA40.

Mighty tempting, isn't it??

I have a DNA40 and it IS a beast of a mod. Tons of battery life, too. All things considered, the SX Mini M Class is by far the best TC mod I own or have ever used. It's an absolutely killer mod.

The bottles cost like a buck apiece, incidentally.

I can just use a rinsed out glass dropper bottle I have on hand anyway!

Perfect. Just make sure the coil doesn't just barely fit in the neck or you'll have a hell of a time getting it back out later. Heck, if you always use one flavor, put a little bit (a couple or three ml) in the bottle and store the coil in it. Keeps it primed and ready for service.

I like the feature set of the SX but speaking as a designer, I loathe the form factor.

I was hesitant too, especially owning the teeny little DNA40. But when I got the M class in my hand, I was set. The thing fits the hand QUITE nicely, even if it's not quite as small as the DNA40 (not quite an inch taller). The beast hits like a freight train, though, especially with lower builds near the 60 watt range. This thing's an absolute monster. Can't wait for something smaller to come out with the Yihi chipsets.

Not sure, this may help someone. I was getting 2 to 3 days out of my OCC coils which was 5 or 6 fill ups in my mini. After some half hearted attempts to rewick the OCC coils with KGD I managed to stuff a piece of 3mm Ready X Wick into one. The real trick I believe was not going until the coil was totally clogged, once the flavor started to change I yanked it out. I was able to pull the wick out without disturbing the coil at all then I pulsed it, put a drop of water on it with a syringe and pulse it again, looked good as new. The 3mm RxW threaded right through and I clipped it with a bit extra on each side just like you would with KGD and poked it all into the coil. It ran for a week, the first tank is a little dull but after that it tastes like it should. Can't beat doubling the time between coil changes.

I didn't try this because I switched over to REO's this weekend. I should be able to pulse the coil again and put another drop of water on it to clean it and then wash out RxW with water and it continue on once it drys. This is what I'm reading people are doing in the RxW thread in the REO section. Unlike REO's temp control mods shouldn't be wash in the sink, but with a little care and some heat it sounds like the Subtank coils wicked with RxW could be cleaned and reused.
