Need Help With Subtank Mini's RBA

[losts0ul]

Hey guys, i need some help with my subtank mini rba.

Ive been using my subtank mini with the RBA section with my IPV mini 2 for a long period of time and all is well until hours ago. After washing off my current e-liquid from the tank and was trying to dry burn the coil when my IPV Mini 2 came up with an error message of Low Res.

I re-coiled and tried firing but there was an error message of Check Atomizer on the IPV Mini 2. Thinking that it maybe something wrong with my coil as it is the first time i do my own coiling, i re-coiled again and the same error message occurred.

However, it works perfectly fine with the OCC coil that came with the Subtank. Has anybody came across this before and able to advise me what is wrong?

Thank you

Check the connections. Coil to atty, atty to mod.

Check the insulator under the positve post of the rba to make sure you have the correct peek insulator. If you have one of the older versions they used the wrong material and your insulator may be toast causing a short.

all the connection seems to be ok..

mine should be the newer one.. its greyish in colour not the transparent types.. i have considered that it might be toasted but doesn't appear so because before i change coils it showed low resistance.. but after i changed it showed check atomiser...

Have you TEST any of the connections and such with a VOM yet? You cant really SEE or feel a bad connection. Low resistance is the definition of a short, FWIW.

the correct insulators are supposed to be tan in color. there were 2 rolling changes. kanger usa will provide you with the correct insulators. check this thread for more info Kanger Subtank Mini clear insulator melted to my RBA! | E-Cigarette Forum

If your coil sits too high it can contact the chimney cap and cause a short. That's what happened to me on my 3rd or 4th rebuild anyway.

ETA: Never mind, I just re-read where you said you were trying to dry burn.

Have you tried tightening the pin on the RBA Base? The one that has the airholes. Before I got mine, I was already saw few reviewers that said you have to tightening the airholes pin on the RBA Base. I think the pin has loosen up and somehow makes the positive and negative post touching each others. Just a speculation hehe
