[Bonskibon]

Oops HELP pls sorry gotta run out to appointment. But
I am going to replace this piece of foo...
Recommendations pls?
If you could suggest just a new tank maybe ability to RBA?
Going to have to pay full plus price can't wait as no back ups.
So top 3
And top 1 or 2 if I have to get whole new starter kit?
Will check very soon, off to store.
Also if time can you give other sites then fasttech? Cheap n fast? For parts? Heard fastech takes month?
I can re re threads on that but read to much on tanks today so confused.

Ps- disabled eye sight poor- do have magnifier when I get to rebuild but today need high watt tank great taste no leak tank please and thank you in advance so so much. I am so upset u all are so kind!!!

I like and use the Toptank mini. It has a RBA too. Hope everything works out for you.

I would completely take the tank apart, clean it, and put it back together. I would guess an o-ring is not seated properly or damaged (if damaged you will need to find a new set of o-rings if not included w/kit)

My kanger topbox mini leaked copiously out of the box so I replaced the o-rings which fixed it. If I had to do it all again with the knowledge I have now, I would not have bought it.

Hi all guess what after all the reading and help from you all I found the REAL FIX for most posts online.
At least for all the thousands of people that said they changed coil then had this slow leak appears to come from air vents. All those videos were wrong. ( keep in mind all issues you listed are also really important to look for.
So here is the kangertech mini c leak fix
Note above

Apparently it should have a small steel thin post on the piece you set coil in. This is so thin we either pull to hard to get coil changed or a bunch were gone when purchased. Or do more than finger tight.

See photo 1. Very breakable! I am marking my new tank w marker or polish so I can see it. Fits in any of 4 groves on tank. Do NOT over tighten.
Problem #2 many others had gurgle etc into chimney. It is supposed to come w clear O ring. BUT it also pops off very easily changing juice.
Photo 2.

I have a good n bad story how I learned this. To long for now. I will never buy this tank if it has this thin steel thing. Sure I will break it. Mine where missing parts. ( or maybe I did break.
I will write a shorter version for kangertech tank fix if you show me where to post.
I am so grateful to you all. Still need new tank advice. May I post later for help?

What did you like about the tank you have? What resistance was your favorite coil?

My advice for avoiding tanks that leak or spit is don't get: 1) top fill tanks, 2)tanks where the coil attaches to the chimney like the cubis, and 3) stick to smaller capacity tanks of 2ml or less.

Hi lil buddy
Interesting questions for a newbie can you explain why coil type matters?

I have tried .5 SSOCC watts 30-60
And the new kangertech ceramic believe same numbers. My concern was getting coils to use at the high wt as usually vape 33-48 ish
Also by accident got SSOC by Clapton but that was for under 30 watt.
Dislike new ceramic as flavor seemed smokey not burnt like Tabbaco ish.
That said didn't give that much time due to tank
Thanks so much for advice!

I prefer low power and high resistance so am not really qualified to advise you.

I can tell you that the kanger subtank mini takes the same coils, is older but remains very popular and seems very reliable and not so leak prone.

Hi can you or some show me a thread on this power/resistance please. Maybe I am doing something wrong have had horrible taste last couple days. New coil not burnt but maybe my settings are wrong?
Kangertech mini c .5 occ only watt control up to 70 watt. Thanks again!

Or I didn't get no taste nicotine? I used 3 calculators... does nic have a flavor? Bitter smokish? Thanks again. This website n members are the best. Spending many hours reading.

The coils have the wattage range printed on them. Start somewhere below the minimum wattage printed on the coil and slowly increase between puffs until you find the spot you like.

I believe the 0.5Ω resistance coil has a wattage range of 15-60Watts. Start at 10W and increase until you find the wattage where you are enjoying the vapor+flavor the most.

No, nic does not really have a much of a flavor, certainly not enough to be detectable in a flavored liquid, but it does give "throat hit".

Are you mixing your own e-liquid?

Personally I would give up on that tank, I mean yeah you could fight with it but there's so many others that work properly without leaking and it's just another headache you don't need while trying to quit.
