I bought an ipv 1 35 watt box mod about a week ago and a Kanger Subtank to use on it. I also had to order a new battery which took an extra couple of days. When I finally got everything together and ready to go, I filled up the subtank with some juice and tried firing it up. Of course with my luck the mod decided to just shut off. Since I'm new to vaping, I'm not sure if this is a problem with the mod or with the subtank. Has anyone else had any similar problems. Any and all help is appreciated, thanks.

Did you try to turn it back on? What battery is it? Is the battery in upside down?
Hey mate! First of all, welcome. Second of all, what Puhn asked goes for me too -- as well as whether or not you've tried another atomizer on it. 
What is the Limit to how low of Ohms your IPV 30 will run? Do that reasearch. Then look at the ohms your running on your subtank coil. It could Be that The ohms are too LOW for your device's limit. Therefore shutting it down. I'm not familiar with the IPV 30 however I have a IPV 150 and it allows a Sub Ohm down to .1. I also have a IPV 2 75 watt that allows a Sub Ohm of down to .3. But I'm not sure as I said about the IPV 30. I would look into the Specs and see if the limit might be what's causing the issue. Hope this helps. Best wishes
Nog, I'll save the OP the research as it's 0.3 ohm.
That's the 1st thought that went through my head too, so you're in terrible company. I know some of the V2s would just randomly turn themselves off... OH...
...OP consider disabling the touch sensor by holding down the - and power buttons. On the IPV2, that being on seemed to be what'd trigger it randomly turning itself off.
The ipv1 has the touch sensor but it isn't wired, so it won't work. Unless they have changed as I bought my ipv1 when they first came out. I have had mine turn itself off, but only because of the battery losing connection temporarily. I'm guessing that was it cause it happens if I drop it or it falls over and then I can turn it back on. Anyway we would need a few more details, but it can definitely run the subtank.
if it was an absolute short at the tank, it would say so on the display....correct? I don't have an IPV1 so I'm asking.
My guess is the battery is not suitable for the IPV...

Yeah...personally I would not be using that battery. The 25r's are cheap, solid and worth the investment. Try shaking the mod back and forth to see if it is a weak battery spring. If it shuts off during shake then you have found your issue.
Which battery did you order? Where did you order them from?Thanks to everyone for your help! I just ordered new batteries to see if that was the problem. They should be arriving in a few days, I'll update this after they get here.
My batteries came in today. I was so excited when I finally saw the package! It turns out the problem was the batteries and thankfully bot the mod or subtank. I guess thats what I get for trying to be cheap . Anyways, this thing is a BEAST. Huge clouds and great flavor.
Once again thank you to everyone for your help!

Batteries can make all the difference. Im using the VTC 5's and the Sammy 25r's back and forth. I think I like the Sammy's better though as they seem to last longer. Cheers mate and happy vaping
