Kanger subtank mini, possible leaks?

[clager]

OK, I know, this has probably been beaten to deat, about leaking I mean. Yes it seems to leak from the air-holes where you adjust, not too much but still.
So I took it apart, cleaned out the base which meats the coil, lots of juice in the base actually, then screwed the coil back on, really tight. Now it seems OK.

This issue seems to be very, very common with this particular tank, is there any prevention for this? new seals? o-rings or what?

cheers.

snug but not too tight, ruins the seal on the coils If you over tighten

Moving to the RBA solved it for me. I leaked my way through three coils before I decided to give the RBA a shot and haven't had a leak since.

I had problem with my Subtank mini and subtank plus too. Once it was place horizontal in my bag , by the time i reach home half a tank of liquid were oozing from the airhole. But it still a nice tank to vape with as it give a decent flavor

have you tried closing the air holes while you are transporting it?

Turn up the voltage? I had all kinds of leaking til I up the watts to around 15, now it's a great vape.

ETA....15 is for my Nauti, I do 14 on the Subtank.

Never had any issues with mine. I have 3 minis and 1 plus. I do use the RBA section though. No leaking at all.

Well I vape at 5.2 volts which converted to watts is around 15-16. or do you mean turn it up even more?

I'd try bumping it up a bit at a time to see if there's any improvement.

BTW which coil are you using? RBA or prebuilt?

 

[clager]

OK now I'm vaping at 6, voltage and NO leaks!! good one. However on the coil its written up to 5 voltage. Is it safe vaping at 6 volts?

I am using prebuilt Kanger mini colis at the moment, only been vaping for 2 months, haven't got into building my own yet!

Which specific coil are you using? My coils are marked in WATTS not volts. My .5 ohm coil says 15 W - 30 W and my 1.2 ohm coil says 12 W - 25 W.

I have the older ones, the newer ones have higher wattage suggestions.....

That said, I would use it at whatever wattage gave me the best vape. They may not last as long at that level, but at least they are useable.

Yeah your right actually, I am using the kanger 1.5 coil ( no sub) and that one says, 10-26W. This is what I did, I took your advice and turned it up to 6V which is 24Watts and jeez! tates much, much better and slightly warm vape. This must be OK? since its written 10-26 on the kanger coil, right?

thanks mate!!, you have showed me a few thing here

 

[mmsjs5]

You're welcome, glad I could help.

As long as it tastes good, I think you are good to go.
