Kanger Sub mini tank/ Dry Hits help

[killatoyota4569]

Hey guys whats up. Well I had gotten the Sub Mini tank, the first tank I got was a dud. I had nothing but issues with it since day one. Coils went bad in 1.5 days both coils, then the rba deck was giving my sigeili issues and errors.

So I sent it back, They replaced it, and I now have Version 2 as they say. This tank has 2 air slots and different Holes in the tank. I used the Stock .5 coil but was just getting wayyyy too many dry hits.. So I went to the RBA deck, been using the coil that came with it, and I have 100% organic cotton. So I been using that, but now I am getting Dry hits with this thing!!! every 4th hit Is Dry!! I have to cover the holes and pull to get teh cotton wet again, and then 4th hit shes dry again.

What is going on here? Anyone else have issues like this? I am really getting fed up with this and ready to just throw it away. What can I do about the situation or why is this happening?

Don't chain vape it can help. Every tank I have did this if you vaped faster than it can wick with thicker juice like your'e using. I don't get dry hits on my subtank, but I'm not vaping so fast where it can't keep up.

I hit it, wait 5 seconds hit it, wait about 10 seconds hit it, and so on. I didnt really have dry hits with version 1 with the rba deck.

What wattage are you at? Also 80/20 is just above my recomended 70/30 for a decent experience (unless your using stuff steeped over a month that somewhat at times turns runny after the solution homogenizes)

80/20 VG/PG ? That's pretty high VG, you may want to wait for the V3 (released with the new Subox kit but not yet available seperately) OR alternatively some have had luck drilling out the holes. Further, though I haven't mastered it yet, you could try rip trippers pancake wicking method:



(it's a different tank but many had luck with this wick in a subtank and he even mentions subtank at the end of the video)

If this is your first ever tank or if you use too high a wattage, you are going to get dry hits.

The description you give sounds like you are probably chain vaping at too high a wattage for the coil/wicking.

Not chain vaping at all. I take time between hits and my vaping sessions. Sometimes it is ok and lately it has been bad.

I vape at 18 to 20 watts, I dont need anything higher. with a .5 ohm coil

Mine is modified to death, but I can run 100 vg with no dry hits at 35-40 watts. Are you sure your wick is not blocking the juice channels on the rba?

modified how? and yeah I take some kanthal and make some room for the juice channels.

i dremeled the juice channels, enlongated the air flow inlet holes on the rba, and cut notches in the barrel to just above the juice deck

Some folks drill a hole on each side of the rba, above the existing channel hole and a slight bit below the half way mark on the rba to get better flow, others dremel out the juice channel to make it a bit bigger and some folks do both methods together.

There are youtube videos showing how to do it if you feel the need. I may try it one day after I've bought a spare rba coil in case I ruin it like I did with my old genesis atomizer and drilling out the air hole too big.

You need to file out the juice channels on your RBA deck. A dremel tool or maybe even a hand file.

 

[yuseffuhler]

You might want to try a slightly tighter airflow setting as well. It'll help create more of a vacuum in the tank and pull more juice into your wick.

Gotcha. Thanks guys I will try this out and find some videos. I got some great Drmmel skills and hand skills.

Anyone see the new billow v2 tank?
