Will the different color seals be available for the nano ? Has anybody seen reasonable price yet ? I love the PT' 2"s but they are out of production.

They are going to stop making the PT 2's? I use them all the time but have gotten the subtank mini which I am loving so much I plan on getting the Nano. Now has anyone tried the rba mini in the Nona? I have read that it will work on a review but not a reviewer I have much faith in. He stated that using the rba mini in the Nano reduced the amount of e-juice you could use to 2ml to inswtead of the 3ml, I find that hard to believe too.

Nona? I guessing you mean Nano? The Nano will only accept the pre-made OCC coils. The RBA coil will not fit in the Nano and even if it did it would surely reduce juice capacity.

Look on E-bay , very few Pt2's for sale. The mini is 22 mm and the nano is 18.5 so the RBA will not fit. I have 3 PT's and rebuild coils. Glass is still available at FastTech. Kanger wants to sell the new series Subtanks . I'm waiting for the nano to come down in price.

The RBA for my Subtank mini is the same size as the coils, that is why I asked if anyone maybe has both the Mini and the Nano they could just try to see if it will work. I know the Subtank RBA is much larger then the Mini RBA as for the e-juice I don't see why using the Mini RBA if it will fit would make the Nano use less juice since you fill would be the same in the tank. I plan on ordering a Nano in the future soon. I love the Kanger Subtank Mini and a smaller size of the Nano would just be I feel better to take out and about.

I have plenty of the PT2"s both the mini and large right now maybe to be safe I should pickup a few extra glass tubes if case I break one sometime, but as of yet I have dropped my PT2's and they haven't chipped, cracked or broken.

I only own a Nano, but after looking at far too many video reviews, I can say the inside part of the glass tanks are designed differently. On the Nano there is a metal U-shaped bar that goes up and over the stock coils. If the mini's RBA is taller then the stock coils it would not fit in the Nano tank. Certainly not a definitive answer to your question, but one might also assume if the mini RBA fit and worked properly, it would be offered for sale. Good luck!

I just broke my first pt2 glass. I was cleaning it and dropped it on the tile floor. FastTech sells 10 glass for $5. I will order some soon. Seals are available on e-bay now but how long ?

Now that you mention that yes the metal piece in the Nano may make the RBA Mini not fit. Yet they do sell the Mini RBA part. Kanger Subtank Mini RBA - Kanger Subtank - Kangertech - Clearomizers Tanks

I just bought a nano for my vaporshark and I hate to say the mini RBA BARELY does not fit. It will screw into the base (albeit tight fit, so it wouldnt feed well at all) and it is barely too tight to fit in the "u" bar of the nano. I'm half tempted to try and file it slightly, but I held back since I figured it wouldnt feed anyways.

Though if desperate, I imagine you could modify the nano to work with the rba. If kanger cut the rba section's size down by a smidge, it'd wor flawlessly in the nano imo.

Thank you! Maybe an extra o-ring on the bottom?

I'm thinking of picking one of these Nanos up for myself. I like the smaller size and that it will fit on my Ego One battery and look flush. Has anyone tried rebuilding the coils? I've seen a few videos on it, just wondering if it vapes as well as the stock coil and wick. It would be pretty nice to not have to buy coils as often especially if it doesn't have an RBA option. Btw, how does the Kanger subtanks compare to the other ones out right now? Like the Atlantic and Melo or whatever else that is available?

I really love this Subtank Nano compared to the stock atty that came with the eGo1 setup.

I also was able to find the Kangertech colorful oring set, and I'm LOVING these blue rings (Matching DT, en route) ;)

When you force the Subtank Nano to screw all the way down on the eGo One battery in order to sit flush
- Will it damage the mod in any way? I assume at least the plus pin will get pushed inside!?
- Will the eGo One tanks still make contact after that?
I would move on to a better battery for the nano. I love the Cloupor Mini. Is small and has an easy to remove battery. It has a small Phillips screw to adjust the height. I recommend Samsung 18650 batteries for the mini.:D

Subtank Nano fits also:

Kanger BCC heads: file down the heads chimney a little bit so it fits the Nano's shaft , use 2 of the heads plastic caps
Kanger BDC (tested v1) heads: remove the heads chimney (use only the heads plastic cap)
Eleaf GS Air / Joyetech CS: extend or replace plus pin (eg from Aspire BVC), remove the heads plastic top seal
