I've been using an I sub g tank with the .05 ohm coils for about 6 months now with no issues. So the last 2 times I bought coils I bought the .02 ohm the first 2 I used worked just like the .05's but the last three leaked profusely I thought maybe I just got some bad ones so I ordered some more I have used 2 already and both leak. I go back to .05 and everything is fine. Is it just the .02's or am I just getting a bad batch?

did you screw the thing on properly? Maybe check the o rings as well
Yeah it's on tight and the o rings are all good plus I always wipe the seals off when I refill it because I found they all will leak a little if I don't. But this is more than a little it's running down the side of the mod type leak.
based on what you said, it seems to be just bad coils.
or maybe you're ignoring something else that you are doing;
like switching between high pg versus high vg liquids.
or environment changes, like driving over a hill;
or vaping in an air conditioned room, then going outside in the sun and wondering why your coil is leaking all of a sudden
Aspire and Kanger Tech are notorious for shipping out bad batch of their coils (including OCC).
You really cannot avoid bad coils now and then.
I honestly suggest purchasing RDAs and build your own coils.
It might seem overwhelming at first, but its actually really fun once you get the hang of it.

I agree 100%
I kicked all of my tanks that use premade coils to the curb just because of spending good money on bad coils.
I was getting coils that had the cotton jammed in there so tight I was getting burned hits at 15-17.5 watts when they were supposed to be good at 30-35 watts.
For a while I used RDAs then got a Goblin mini BC and making my own coils and wicks. Then I got a Kayfun Lite Plus with a bell cap that has flavor almost as good.
I too find making and wicking coils enjoyable.
Neither tank leaks.
Wicking coils takes a knack. You want the cotton tight in the coil but not so tight the cotton. Is unable to slide.
I tried the rba that came with my subtank plus but the ohms kept jumping from .09 to 1.1 so I quit using it right away for fear that something was wrong and not knowing that much about it.
It's possible that one of the screws was a bit loose.
I had a Subtank Nano not the mini. The only thing I didn't like about the RBA was that you had to trap the leads under the screw heads, and the screw heads was about 1/2 of a millimeter away from the barrel.
dont own or use that tank but maybe the added heat from the .2 coils is drawing more liquid than is needed and causing it to run out and leak beings it is not doing it with the .5 coils but that is just a theory maybe compare the 2 coils to see if orings and stuff are all present on all of them.
Perhaps add some cotton and carefully poke a little cotton in each hole. If not enough cotton in them they leak. I just know this from when I remove cotton and dry burn them and insert new cotton if I do not get enough in there they leak. Hope you figure it out. CHEERS!
