After 2+ years, my Mini is still my best performing tank. I’ve tried many of the fancy, more advanced tanks, but they all fail miserably, especially when using their included rba heads.
I can still find a few places online that sells the Mini, and the replacement parts, so I’ll stick to my trusty Mini until something better comes along.

I mostly use Toptank Minis but there are a few other rbas that I use and like. The Kanger tank has a great taste though. Best thing is the separate rba. You can keep a bunch of them ready to go and basically have drop in coils.
That's a really great idea. I did order some extras from our other conversation and I will do that for sure.

Only two things I dislike about the Toptank Mini: small juice holes and flooding/leaking when refilling.
The first problem can be solved by swapping out a Subtank Mini RBA section. But as for the flooding and leaking, perhaps more cotton or closing off the airflow holes?
I don't have any leaking. Must be the wicking. I prefer the large hole rba but the small one seems to work ok. I wick with Rayon. I put it in the coil tight enough that it is barely movable. Put the metal tube on and then trim it in the shape of V or arrowhead as close to the top of the tube as I can cut it. Then fluff that and push in against the deck bottom. Wicks great and doesn't leak even on refill and I don't close the air flow when refilling.
As far as leaking - mine was a little bit and I think I figured it out. When I changed the coil one of the o-ring seals sort of popped out from the bottom piece. I fixed that and no more leaks. I , too, close the airflow when refilling.
I also bought this glass for the Tanktops. Fits great and increases the fill by a couple ML.

Do you have a pic of what it looks like on the tank? Just curious to see.I also bought this glass for the Tanktops. Fits great and increases the fill by a couple ML.

Think you're on the right track. From its introduction I suggested the proposition that chunky wicking would max KST production on the Protank Microcoil thread. I posted pic's there of back to back clouds on the ST with the twisted lead tensioned parallels below.
You need a volume of wicking to carry the flow. Reduce it and it's limited. Pack it too tight, same thing. These days I still pull as much thru as I can without mangling the coil, pull back-and-forth to ease it in place then tweeze as much fiber from that center as need be to match the power level I'm applying. Typically about 23-25W on 25AWG, 7/7, 2.8mmØ. Seems to do the trick to limit cool down leaking into the base. This is a diffusion build for the KST. The parallels below afford more potential surface area and density. It's a great low power tank.
Good luck.
Give me a minute, I bought some for the wife, will post a pic.
It looks good on there - and I like that it holds more --even with 4ml I still have to refill. Another great tip from you. ThxGive me a minute, I bought some for the wife, will post a pic.
Posted more disc re wicking on this thread…Subtank RBA builds? show em! | Post #370 | E-Cigarette Forum…
Chunky wicks help minimize the incidence of open end turns due to gravity sag. That kind of diffusion, hot and very dry, we don't need. Careful to avoid trapping fibers screwing on the RBA cap as this can skew the wick and yes, produce leaking. So carefully pull the very top of wicks slightly away when wet. That'll do ya.
Good luck.

Is the Toptank related to the Subtank Mini? Is the Toptank an RBA? I am on a small tablet and surfing is not the easiest.
I like the Subtank Mini w/RBA since it has better airflow than the Kayfun. I generally use in batches, but I have no real top fill tanks that are good for flavor.
I also noticed not to fill the Subtank to the max since screwing the bottom back on really puts pressure in.
If someone thinks a Toptank is in my lane, a shout would great. Just hard to surf at the moment.
Thanks,
FF

Toptank mini and subtank mini are interchangeable. Same coils or rba, same glass. On a subtank, Change the inner structure to use the top removable system of the toptank. or don't. You can use either base on either system.
Never actually tried the topper for reasons noted everywhere on leaking. I can imagine overfilling/pressure being a problem. I just wish they had just opened up the chimney on the original ST. It is awesome with more airflow and the orig RBA. If it ain't broke applies.
Good luck FF.
I have a toptank mini and subtank mini's and the RBA and base fits both of them. As for filling the toptank, juice level just below the top or pressure squeezes juice out the bottom. Wicking has all to do with leaking, my subtanks very rarely leak and I use rayon as my wicking.
Pretty kewl that the glass fitting the toptank, wonder if it fits the subtank mini also. Gonna order some since I broke my only toptank glass last week and have to order glass anyway.

The glass on the subtank doesn't work on the toptank. It is longer. Everything else is interchangeable
