Kanger Subtank Mini LEAKING

[StrahmNoMore]

I've had mine for about a week and have experienced issues with this as well with both stock coils. Majority seems to be from the airflow, but I had some in the mouthpiece tonight as well. Now I have not taken it completely apart to clean it yet, I've been leaving the top on. I have some other 1.2 coils I can try, I will replace the rubber seals and plan to try the rba. I'm gonna try all options because it's the best Vape I've ever had lol.

Thanks for the leak, I'll have to give it a try. My subtank mini has been delegated to home use only, whenever I take it on the road it ends up leaking all over the car.

Getting ready to try that myself when I find some organic cotton. I too have the same problem around the airflow ring with the Nano, but only if I do primer puffs. When I first got it I guess I primed it too much and juice was pouring from the air holes.

I've noticed with these coils if you chain vape, you must continue priming or they dry hit. Need to find a happy medium between saturating the cotton and leaking.

Same problem I have, I chain vape and I get dry hits often, So I end up doing primer puffs all the time and wind up with a leaker. I truly have a love hate relationship with this tank. The flavor is Incredible and it's a damn sexy looking tank but the leaking and constant dry hits are driving me crazy. The Subtank mini is like dating that really hot, crazy chick who is dynamite in the sack but is bat.... crazy all the other time.

This has worked wonders for me.

Has anyone had problems with there .5 coils tasting, off? Every time i use the .5 coils it goes good for a couple hours then it starts to taste like burnt. I know the wick is wet and ive yet to go over 30 watts with the .5 coils cause it just makes it worse. I mainly use the 1.2 ohm coils, i have never had a problem with the higher resistance coils doing this to me. I just find them harder to find at vape shops since most are after the sub ohm aspect of this tank. Which is expected, i never thought id like the 1.2 coil much but i do.

I've had my Kanger SubTank Mini for about a month now. I've noticed that it seems to seep out between the glass and the O-rings......Not a lot.....but enough to be annoying! With the 1.2 ohm coil that it came with, I've experienced leaking from the bottom too......but usually when the tank gets low on juice......not empty, just low. Other than that, it works pretty well.....but for a $40.00 tank.....I'm NOT happy with the leaking!

Agreed! Its just enough that its a pain and to make it annoying. I love the flavor but im sorry i cannot stand the constant having to wipe it off all the time. Since ive gotten the cotton Atlantis coils ive switched and havent looked back. Which sucks cause i really liked the sub tank mini. Just my opinion and problems though.

Hmmm.....I was planning on ordering a subtank mini this week but I am having second thoughts after reading this!

I just ordered a Horizon Arctic subtank. I'm hoping that all the GOOD reviews from people that have them......ARE TRUE! I've really "had it" with the leaky Kanger SubTank Mini!

My Subtank MIni leaks from the bottom also. Only had it two weeks. Great vaping experience except for the leak. I'll try some of the suggestions on this forum. What a bummer. Such an exceptional product. I hope the guys at Kanger are listening!

I wouldn't (have second thoughts), personally. Between my girlfriend and I we own three and I'm thinking about getting two or three more either Mini or Plus.

I have never had trouble with leaking and am under firm belief that any leaking is due to user error.

 

[darkman1999]

I am watching myself more closely to make sure it's not a "user error". I've had my Kanger Subtank Plus for a few weeks and it seems when it's about to come time to change the coil that's when it seems to leak and always through the airflow module. Usually, I can pull the coil out and clean underneath it and it'll slow the leak for just a little bit but the leak comes back. As soon as I replace the coil I'm good again. For now though, I'm making sure I'm all tight and rechecking if it does leak. I'm pretty sure what is causing the leak is the coil but I'm only getting 4-5 days before I'm replacing it which sucks but on the bright side of that....I never have that day where the coil starts good and then goes to burning the juice midway through the day where I can't wait to get home and replace it.

 

[CigmundFreud]

you can add me to the list of people with a leaky subtank mini. Very annoying. I think mine leaks more quickly when it's not in a vertical position.

I had the same issue with my Subtank mini leaking from right below the glass near the AFC, I noticed the glass tube itself was not a perfect circle and it did lip over a tiny bit. I switched the glass and my problem was solved! Hope this helps.

I broke my tank about a week ago, and proceeded to break two of the bottom O-rings putting it back together. I now have new Kanger O-rings, but it seems that the one on the bottom that holds the part that the airflow and coil screw into isn't big enough, and just spins in a circle when trying to screw the bottom back on. I am using rings from an old igo which is doing the trick in the meantime, but I need to know what I am doing wrong, any ideas?

 

[HeiSINberg]

Yeah i think its safe to say im done with kanger, great flavor but im sick of this thing. Sad part is i have so many coils.......ugh oh well on to the next.

I have three of them, never had a single leak once, not even a slight leak, nothing, its been in my pocket, in my car, in my bag at the gym ect.. the only little issue I had was juice in my mouth but that user error, short wicking on the rba with too high pg. Never overtighten these coils, finger tight and then back a qualter, same with screwing the AFC after filling the tank, just finger tight...when it scews onto your mod you can feel we its just right. Mine are the dual airflow ones too, in theory they should leak more but as I've said, I've never had a leak once. Maybe I've just been extremely lucky... Kind of shocked to read all these posts.. The only other thing I can think, is I've never used the stock red Orings in any of mine, I bought a pack of coloured ones to match my isticks and changed them from day one. I dunno...

 

[Kevin H]

That may be the issue with mine, (the stock O-rings). The company that I purchased the Kanger Sub-Minis has sent me some replacement O-rings (red color) that are supposed to be improved. The truth......I haven't even tried them yet, because my ARCTIC sub-ohm tank is SUPERIOR to the Kanger in MANY ways (IMO). When I get a chance, I will try the new O-rings, but @ this point, I don't think that I'll even use the Kanger tank past me testing it for leaks.
