Kanger Subtank Mini Leak fix (maybe)

[sl2222]

I was having problems with leaking from the air vents (like many people). The leaking with the O-rings was not my problem but that's an easy fix with new rings, teflon, etc.
The air vent leak (at least for me) was that I wasn't packing the cotton correctly.
When you pack the cotton near the vent holes in the rba the cotton should be pulled apart and just loosely packed on the sides. That way you still have good airflow but have blocked it enough so that juice doesn't leak thru.

Just my 2 cents

Yes wicking is the key in an RTA.
Also if the V2 with the holes in the sides make sure the holds are well covered by cotton.
I do this and zero leaks so far. Well the RBA section got loose one time but that was my fault

Also I use Salon Coil Cotton which is fluffier than the pads are.

Heh I came to this thread thinking "I can definitely help this guy because I have my mini protank practically perfected" but methinks you're talking about subtank mini

OOPS! you're right. I've corrected the title.
