KangerTech SUBTANK Mini

[Slackitude]

Did you mod your rba deck like some of us did with holes and dremeling the slots? And what PG/VG juice you using?

I have 3 Subtanks and 4 RBA decks, I haven't modded any of them yet. PG/VG is normally 30/70 but sometimes max VG or 100% VG. I tried 100% VG recently and while it works and doesn't dry hit, it also isn't getting a lot of juice to the coil, vapor and flavor is much reduced. I'm thinking of taking a file or dremel to one of them and trying that for my heavy VG juices.

I'm kind of disappointed in the new RBA deck style with the screw and no juice channels. I don't have any of them but it seems to me it won't work at all when juice level is low.

I can vape my new style RBA till there is only a few drops left of juice.

Same, Juice holes being up the side wall of the Chimney doesn't effect how often i need to refill.

the New, V2 RBA deck is the bomb!

I'm still waiting for my v2 RBA decks, but I wager I'll have the same experience as you. The juice holes are set rather low as well. One of my v1 RBA decks is moded with holes and I've never had any problems, even though the holes are set higher than on the v2 deck.

I can chain my old style rba to infinity and back at 45w with 75vg and the afc wide open....with no modifications. Anyone getting that kind of performance out of the "plus" rba?

Does anyone know if the new version of the STM's rba deck can be purchased yet? I've looked but have yet to see
It at any online vendor.

I have a 5 pack of them coming from Hong Kong that I ordered off of Ebay.

Fasttech had them but they are temporarily sold out. Come to think of it, they might still have the authentics. The clones are the ones that are sold out.

I refuse to give Fasttech my business any more. I bought an Istick 50W I thought, turned out to be a clone because of deceptive wording on their site. 10 days after I recieved it, it started auto firing and then died all together and Fasttech wanted me to jump thru all sorts of hoops to get warranty on it which I never got. Now I just avoid them all together. Far too many honest companies out there for me to spend my money on.

I've been ordering from Fasttech for about two years now and I've been quite satisfied. It can take some time to deal with warranty issues with them, but I haven't had any real issues. I haven't seen them claim something as authentic when it isn't. In contrast to many other places I could buy from, ft offers a warranty. Things are probably different in the US. In any case, the original Subtank v2 RBAs were something like $6 so not a huge cost.

Thanks for the info. The only eBay vendor wants $12.00 for one and fasttech is out of stock. Seems they
Are popular so I'll wait and they will be standard stock with most reputatale vendors eventually.

Fasttech has the original (non-clone) v2 still (though "ships in 7 days"). I think I found them by searching for "subtank rba". For some reason with a search for just "subtank" they don't show up. $6.73, if I remember correctly.

I used search " SUBTANK Mini RBA" at fasttech and found what you were talking about for $6.73 ships in 7 days.
guess they are waiting on kanger to sent some to them from across the street. LOL.

Good luck.

STmini UPDATE: So I've had STminis since their introduction and have tried to run them to death. I'm strictly an rba user as I've never been happy with the flavor production of the occ's. I've run kanthal, nichrome, nickel-200 and titanium-g1on the rbas and have had no problems making each build work flawlessly at 30w with 75vg juice. You just can't kill these things. They have never leaked, threads have not stripped out, glass has not broken even when dropped (ymmv), super easy to fill and they have sufficient airflow to chain vape up to 45w with 60vg juice without modifications.

For temp control the STmini is rock solid with no res fluctuations. A ti build in an STmini on an Evic VT60 temp control mod is an absolutely stellar vape; as close to dripper flavor as I've ever been with a tank.

I'm talking about V1 STminis here, the rbas with juice channels, not the newer "plus" rba version with holes that peeps are calling V2's. The V2's may work even better, don't know, but if any of you out there are on the fence about buying a rebuildable tank, take the plunge, I think you will be happy with the STmini.

KFL's and STM's are where it's at for me right now. The STM's I like a little better due to how easy it is to attach the coil legs. I've got enough spare parts to keep the STM's going for a long while. Really like the bell caps on them to.

What is your favorite ni200 build for the rba in the STmini?

Never found one I really liked because of how much ni200 it took to get the res up to workable levels with thicker more durable gauges. The smaller ga. wire is so flimsy that it's hard to wick heavy without distorting the coil. I'm pretty happy now with my Ti builds but plan on trying some twisted 30ga ni200 on my next build...I've heard that they are reasonably strong.

Cool, was just curious because I was getting ready to try a nickel build in the rba again. I gave it a go earlier with some 26g tempered ni200, 8 wraps around a 3mm bit, reads .072ohm on my SX M, and seems to be OK so far. Wicked it without getting any spitback this time, so that's a plus.
