Kanger subtank mini, dry hits

[Bantam59]

Just got my kanger sub tank mini today. Very disappointed, constant dry hits, leaks..i primed the 0.5 coil and let it sit for 15-20 minutes and still get dry hits. In only using 45w . Can't understand what's wrong

way too high wattage.
Are the new vertical coils? start around 15 - 20 watts, work your way up.
old horizontal coils, I'd start at the lower end of above. moving up 2-3 watts at a time untill you get what your looking for.

Thanks I'll try that add see what happens.

Why is the ohms reading 0.7 instead of 0.5?

What'd you do? different coil?

I'm using the coil that came with it. In my istick 100w , does the same thing on my istick 50w

Coil not seated all the way? Tank not screwed down and making contact? When I used the factory coils they would read higher occasionally , some would drop after use. Could be the Coil or your mod. Even my Kanger Subbox would read the Kanger coils high .

Snug up the coil in the tanks base, and snug up the connection from the tank to mod. SNUG, not gorilla tight.

Will try reseating the coil and see if that helps. Thanks

Well i took the coil out, reseated it, tightened it and put the tank on the mod nice and snug. It's still reading 0.7 if i try to loosen it and move it, it reads 0.9, 1.0, 0.8 can't get it lower than 0.7. My triton does this someone's but it usually eventually reads correctly.

Stick with it and have a little patience, they're great tanks that are usually very user friendly. Don't give up yet! The RBA is where these things shine if you have the new version and the patience to build your own coils. ( don't forget an ohm tester)

I'm dying to try my had at building. I'm waiting for my ohm meter in the mail. Then i will try it. I will give it a chance I'm not willing to give up on it, it got such great reviews which is why i bought it

If you need some organic cotton and a little wire I will send you some. Just take your time, I'm still fairly new at building coils but I'm getting it down. Nothing replaces practice and hands on training.

Which version of the tank do you have, one air flow hole or two?

Thanks for the offer, the subtank actually comes with a coil and cotton. Just waiting on the meter to arrive.

The adjustable air flow ring at the bottom of the tank, does it have one oval slot or two? Does the RBA have two big holes in the side, or two little grooves at the bottom of the deck?

 

[Bantam59]

There's 2 oval slots, one on each side. And 2 holes in the rba

If you can post pics, you can make coils, nice work. That's the new version, that's even better. The RBA V2 you have is awesome. You'll like it!

Where's it leaking from?

 

[Bantam59]

It seems to have stopped leaking, i think it's because i put to much juice in the coil when i tried to prime it again. It's not leaking now
