Kanger subtank mini problens

[Charam1996]

So I have a Istick 30w I've had th post so many times but I keep getting problem after problem, so on day one I had the kanger I filled it up and found my Istick said no atomizer, so I took the tank of and undone it bit by bit, I put the 0.5 back in and it started leaking and still said no atomizer! I took the 0.5 out and put the 1.2 in. My Istick then read the atomizer but still leaks out of the vent holes and all over the tank.

I bought new 1.2 coils in but still the same problem with leaking, and when I tried smoking it I would get hardly any vapour and was really strong throat hit, the juice ic cuttwood -boss sauces- unicorn milk.

I don't know if I have put the o rings in the wrong place or left them out? Or done something wrong.

Also the RDA bags you get with what I suspect to be Japanese cotton? And in the other screwdriver and coil? I would also like to know how to build that. And any help with the leaking issue please. I have given up and put it away as I haven't been able to smoke it since Monday when I got it

Use the coil that came pre installed in the rba deck and wick it with the included cotton. Make sure when you wick it you have cotton as to have a little resistance but not too much.
I hate this guy but he does do a spot on easy build.

There is a small clear/white or ring on the bottom of each coil head (the square thingy that has the coil and the wick). Make certain they are there. Also take the coil head out and make certain there are no burrs or obstructions to keep the coil from getting a good seal. Then snugly hand tight the coil into the base.

Sometimes when a coil gets gunked it will let juice go into the air flow area of the tank.

I prefer the RBA to the stock coils. Like the video above, you can find many videos for the "Kanger Subtank Mini rba". It's really easy to use and you can change coils or re wick (re using the old coil) at your desire. It is much cheaper in the long run to do it yourself as to buying the factory coils.

A coil jig works well to do it. Look for you tube on Kuro Koiler, $8 from Fasttech in China. They also have the wire and cotton there.

Hi thanks a lot... I have done it it's working better but I get little hot spits some times..? I don't know if I put to much cotton in it what this means?

Sounds like a flooded coil. It's difficult to say without seeing it. What ohm coil are you using and at what power?

 

[Charam1996]

The RBA stock coil I got with the kanger subtank mini, and I watched the video by RIP trippers ? And an I ask do you know what I should vape this between, 10w - 30w ( and the dude in the video is crazy lol)

 

[Sir2fyablyNutz]

It should read as a .5 ohm coil on the mod screen when you push the power button to vape. I would say to start around 18 watts and hit it, bump it up then try again. If it tastes funny, gets too warm or starts to taste burnt, back it down. Take a hit and bump it up. I usually vape my .5 ohm coils in the rba around 23 to 25 watts.

Thanks a lot much appreciated I am actually able to smoke it properly now, do you know where I can buy the Japanese organic cotton, and the coil material? And yes it says 0.5 ohms

I have a V1 and V2 - with the V1 Kanger Mini I have to really torque it shut to prevent leaking but on the V2 just a snug fit between atty bottom and glass tank is enough. Maybe the O-rings are better with the V2.

Fasttech in China, Amazon, and about every local vape shop in the US. I would say the same place you got your gear should carry some. You'll also want to get a coil jig, search for a you tube video on the Kuro Coiler, or Coil Master jigs. I know Fasttech carries the Kuro Koiler and wire I got mine from there.

atomizer.wick on eBay

Here is where I get my cotton and wire. I asked if he could send me a sample of 22 and 24 gauge wire and sent two 25ft spools for free. Really blew my mind.. Recommended.

KGD for the box will run you around $19 with shipping. I'm on my first box and have had it for over a year and wick my tanks often.

Okay thanks sorry to keep firing questions, as well as it popping at me, it's makes like a sizzling sound while drawing from it, also it's getting very hot around the air holes, I heard that the sizing sounds can be cause by water mixed with the liquid? And I did wash the glass and tank chamber with water before I filled it back up. I want vape it but i don't want the spitting to go in my mouth and the sizzling is so unsettling lol, I thought it would been a nice smooth vape. And could this also have been cause by to much cotton?or even when priming the cotton maybe I put to much juice in, also it don't leak as much but I am getting a little leak still only a little, how many drops to prime a RBA coil? Thanks

Also I have 4 pack of 0.5 coils would they work in the subtank mini

 

[Charam1996]

Sorry to keep up posting, I can now say it is kicking clouds and vaping great at 8.8 w I vape don it for about 5 minutes and now it's amazing. Maybe I was just being impatient, but suddenly no dry hits no spitting or sizzling, but to state this happened after a major leak on the air holes maybe I over filled it. But thanks all

When you add a new coil, you need to prime the coil with juice. Meaning add a couple dips to the coil then assemble.

Okay thanks you helped a lot, I'm from the uk, and I see the proposal thing about the USA and vaping products could be getting taken away from the market and the industry collapsing, I tried to do my bit but it asks for a zip code etc and I'm from the uk so obviously I don't know any is there any way I can do my bit, I know most of the vapour products get manufactured in Japan or China but most of the company's are American or at least that's probably were us at uk get out supplies from so I was wound riff how I can do my bit?
