I recently purchased a Kanger sub ohm tank to see how it compared to the Atlantis, I really like the tank, but notice if it sits for any length of time (15 minutes or more) the coil floods and as soon as you try and use it, a lot of gurgling and very hot juice being spit out, yes I realize how inappropriate that sounds..lol. So has anyone else had this problem ? is it common ? or is there an easy fix??? Or did I just send fifty bucks down the drain?
Angry, spitting Kanger sub ohm.....

rba or premade stock coil, 0.5 or 1.2 coils, which mod
i had that prob when i first got it but was using the mvp2 at its full 11 watts, now w/the istick 30w it basically stopped even at 11 watts, my thinking it needed more consistent power than the mvp could do but i really dont know.
im on my rba now and lovin it but will test later w/stock 1.2 coil on both mods

.5 premade coil, as I have no interest whatsoever in playing mad scientist and rebuilds. I'm using an ileaf 30w which I'd been keeping around 20v
If its flooding when it sets, aka not being used...my first guess would be the tank isn't sealed good and is letting air get in somewhere.
EDIT: Or its leaking from the tank into the chimney, or bad wicking setup in the coil.

then its more than likey a wick problem, try to , with tweezers, grab some of the cotton to grab some of it out of the wicking holes as it could be pushed too far in
Both of you may have a good point, as i notice that when I go to grab it, there is almost always a little juice at the airholes.... suggestions??
If it's flooding pretty bad, it can leak back through the air intake holes. I would make sure everything is tight, check all the o-rings, and check the wicking as suggested.
OK, double checked the o-rings, made sure the tank was tight and pulled out some of the cotton wadding...so far so good, thanks for the advice. And prepare for a bunch more stupid questions...
Kanger has beefed up its o rings as of recently. Depnding on when yours was manufactured you may not have the new o rings. Mine currently leaks a bit just above the airflow control ring and I ordered my kanger subtank as soon as they were released. If you need new o rings, kanger USA sells a complete set of the upgraded rings for 1.99. Hope that helps.
As far as the hot juice, mine actually did that a bit when the juice got a little low, as long as I keep it topped off I don't have that issue.

Also check the two screws at the top of the tank to make sure they are tight, you could have air leaking in there which could cause issues.
Yep, I notice its right when the juice gets to the top of the coil that it starts to happen, which is frustrating cause if you want to burn out or empty a tank to change flavor, your going lose about 2ml of juice
For the most part I was very happy, but the fact that your going to lose about 2 ml of juice if you want to change flavors bothers me. I drive a lot at work and a big part of the appeal was the large capacity, and apparently the o rings aren't quite 100 percent, but it sounds like they're working to correct that. I think they rushed this on the market to keep up with the Atlantis, I would guess in another month or so all the little "quirks" will be worked out
Guess as I must always ask, is it authentic or is it a FastTech "type"? My Kanger Subtank works flawlessly. My favorite tank of over 30 tanks I presently own.
I too like the Subtank, I do think the big buddha evil eye is a little better tank. I like to build my own coils and the RBA section of the subtank has too tight of a draw for me. I think the subtank whoops on the atlantis though.
I have the subtank mini. love it. I hear the airflow on this one is better than the original because the chimney is wider. The original 1.2 ohm coil didn't last but three days for me (guess my juice was just too much for it) but I stuck in the RBA section with the pre-build .5 ohm coil and it rocks. No leaks, easy to fill. When the wick gunks up, I don't have to empty the tank to re-wick it.
