I can't get the rba to work because it's about 2mm shorter than the stock coils, and on my sigelei 50w it reads 'check atomiser'. By pushing the brass pin out of the base of the Kanger subtank mini, I was able to remove the white rubber grommet that the brass pin slides into and which holds the brass pin in place, and this allowed the pin to drop a couple of mm further down, make connection and fire succesfully. But it means that each time I unscrew the subtank from my mod I'd have to make sure I don't lose the pin as it would drop out. Also, I don't know if that rubber grommet acts as an insulator and if it's dangerous not to have it.
I've seen a couple of other solutions for this issue, like wrapping kanthal through the airholes of the RBA to make contact with the subtank base. I tried it but obviously didn't do it very well as it didn't fire. I saw another solution but can't figure out how to do it. This one:
Am I meant to pull the pin out of mine like he's done? Mine doesn't move, it seems solid. As seen in the background of this picture:

When I bought this subtank mini just a week or so ago, I was informed that it's the V2. I thought this issue was an early problem later resolved, so is it likely I was sold the V1 or do they both suffer this? There's nothing on the box to say V2.

I got this same problem with 25mm model in RTA mode.
In my case, the problem was caused by improper contact of the RTA section to the 510 connection at the base section.
Solved with a diy ring, put at the RTA section to secure the connection.
