RDA Kanger Subtank Mini... RDA and OCC questions?

[pritbeters]

Hey all! For the Kanger Subtank Mini (using the OCC coils, organic cotton), am I able to dry burn these to clean? Just curious-- I have an extra coil that I can use, but I'm new to this whole other realm of ohms and rba's etc. There's tools that came with the box to "rebuild" (which I have no idea how lol), so I was wondering if anyone knows if I'm able to dry burn these babies, and how to carefully do so? Thank you!

Edit: I followed the simple directions for putting together the RBA using the cotton I got with the tank, and for some reason it doesn't fire? Well, it fires, I just get no hit from it. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??? lol.

No!

The OCC coils are cotton wrapped in kanthal, you'll just ignite the cotton. The tools are for rebuilding the RTA coils, which you can dry-burn after removing the wicking. You'd generally do that when the wicking and coils are all gunked up. I mean technically if you removed the cotton you could possibly dry-burn, but I don't think that's what you were asking.

If you wicked up the RTA module and it's firing... you aren't seeing smoke or anything hopefully? If it's firing but little to no vapor is coming out, it's probably a wicking and/or airflow issue. Instead of the instructions, I'm going to send you to a pbusardo vid where he wicks one and you can follow along near the end:

You *can* rebuild the OCC coils using kanthal and japanese cotton, and it might even be easier than the RTA. There are lots of vids for this, you want the one where you go in through the bottom instead of pulling out the press-fit top.

The rta is incredibly easy to short if you aren't paying attention to your coil legs. Make sure they aren't connecting across the two platforms negative to positive or positive to negative, easy fix if they are, just lift them, but an easy mistake to make on it
