Hi all, this is the before and after 8 hrs not moving it. Also close up photos of the new SSOOC ceramic coil since new wonder if you see any defects on coil.
Last photo is the regular coil unused it looks uneven. Since so many issues hope someone will look at coil see if it seems ok. Ppl at shop won't take it back. Thanks so much! Marrz

Hello and welcome! Are you closing the air flow control before adding juice to your tank?

I'm guess that you are talking about the Kanger Top Box mini. The first Vaporizer I bought, better vaporizers out there, I was never able to get flavor out of it, vapor yes but no flavor. About all I can say is I never had a leaking problem with it. I tried the RBA and that leaked a lot but it was my wicking the coil so that got cleared up. I stopped using the original tank on it but I'll take a look at it and get back.

Hi, yes it's closed nearly all the time as the coils stay so wet. I did open it a bit to prim the new coil as that is plenty if I prim before filling it is overwhelming full.
Noticed the red coil last photo, I just tried it the inside o ring was half off. Not sure I can get it on. 3 coils no luck. So so frustrated. Not a happy camper.
Thanks

Did your tank come with extra orings? I can't think of what might be the problem except perhaps a cracked or damaged oring.

The subox mini C kit comes with the prostank 5 'tank'.
I believe the only way to fix a prostank is to toss it & get a better / more reliable delivery device / 'tank'.

If we knew more about how you like to vape we could make decent suggestions.
If you liked the way the prostank vaped but without the leaking might try kangar subtank / toptank, joyetech eGo one.
Like a tighter draw, nautilus mini or nautilus 2.

I've watched a few reviews and not one mentions the 2 tabs on the bottom, near the 510 pin. They just pop the tank on and off with no regard to how they're lined up. I think it matters bud. Check the instructions closely. Cheers.

Welcome and stick with it! Deeeep breaths.

Thanks all- update
Took it to another person at store I bought the new cart from. 1. They sold me wrong cart it was to small at base. ( wouldn't exchange it).
2. Said nothing wrong with the ceramic 0.5 but said below was better???
3. Sold me a SSOC 0.5 and cotton as one video shows putting cotton on the coils cotton. Small amount.

They put it together, was same as I had done.
Got home put small amt of juice
I could tell right away had a leak as I could vap about 5 min at 50 watt with coil closed I couldn't vape fast enough to stop the mess!
They didn't sell o rings said the tank seal was good.
Showed me atty coils etc. if money would have bought that.
Are they easy n I mean easy to screw in coils? Recommend any?

I just started vaping I find w sweet juice I like high watts n more vapor. If throat hit is too hard turn down to 30 ish.
Using 21-24 mg but I do add VG IF it's a thin juice.
Out of ideas
Can I shove cotton inside a coil? Seriously ?
frustrated.
Thanks again!

Honestly with as much problems as your having with that tank I would get another one and set that one aside for now. As a new vaper, the last thing you need is that kind of aggravation. Perhaps a whole new setup if you can afford one. We here always recommend backups (many of them) so setting that whole mess aside for now may be best until the problems can be nailed down.

I do like Kangertech in general but, when it comes to tanks, any of them, it's really hit and miss as to if it leaks or not and, that is subject to change with each new coil or atty you put in that tank. Been that way since at least the days of a t-2 tank on a 510 connector eGo type battery.

Sometimes overtightening here or there squishes or dislodges o-rings. If you are seeing twisted or partially removed o- rings, try again, be a bit more gentle with tightening things. Just feel it seat properly and get snug, not vice grip tight. Not a jar that's hard to open, one you could easily twist open but, that would not let liquid run out if laid on its side.
