Kanger Subox Mini RBA *HELP*

[Obsync]

Hi guys,

Recently started rebuilding on the rba for the subox mini. I'm using kanthal 28 gauge wire with around 4 wraps of 2.0 diameter to give me .6-.7 ohms. Usually fire around 15-19 watts

I notice that i have to rebuild almost every other day as the liquid started turning brown. Am I doing anything wrongly hence my coil burns out so fast?

Thanks !

I don't rebuild my coils when they get gunked. I will dry burn the wick and remove it from the coil. Then dry burn the coil to remove the gunk. Then just rewick it. You can usually get a few rounds of use this way from one coil. It's much simpler to change the wick than do a total rebuild.

I don't know why your juice is changing color so fast, but sweeter juices are harder on coils and wicks.

Nutz is correct. You don't need to rebuild every other day. Just remove the cotton, dry burn the gunk off, then put in more cotton. I've been doing that on mine and the coils should last you a couple of months at least.

remove the cotton, dry burn the gunk of

sorry to hijacked. may i asked is there any difference between dry burning the cotton, removed it then dry burn coil, n just removed the cotton n dry burn the coil?

I believe Nutz uses Rayon for his wicks. Rayon can be dry burned without burning the material, only burning off impurities. Cotton, on the other hand, will go up in flames.

Rayon and cotton are both cellulose and both burn

My friend if you use cotton you can not dry burn simply because if the cotton is dry it burns. you take out used cotton, dry burn (I even wash after giving it a 5 sec fire and of course when I take my hand off the button) and use a new cotton.

I am relatively new to the RBA thing, but I've had good results (for me, anyways). I just skipped the whole dry burning altogether. I pull out the wick, rinse the wick and then it with running water to give the coil a gentle scrub, dry the coil and re-wick. So far, it seems fine, and the flavor has been great.
