Problems?

[Taaa]

I'm having problems with my subtank mini. My rba doesn't stay attacthed. It's like the little screw in the side doesn't hold it down, is that a problem? And I think I'm getting dry hits but my wick is totally saturated. It like an explosion and hot vapor comes up, and today it actually burned me. I can't seem to get ahold of this vaping thing. Is my coil shorting out? Or?

heya! what kind of coil do you have in the rba? (ohms wise)

While I do not have this tank I have watched a lot of reviews/builds on it and just re watched one as I do not know which side screw you are referring to. I do know some BRA's do have a screw in the side that holds the shroud cover in place, I thought yours simply screwed down over the deck as seen in this video:

In any event I would suggest the following:

Watch some video's that show how your RBA / tank is built.

Ensure everything is properly put together/secure.

If it is running too hot try lowering the power (volts/watts/temperature.

If after the above it is still too hot, you could try building a higher resistance coil, higher Gage wire or more wraps etc, here is a handy reference tool: Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

If this is your first experience with a sub ohm tank they do tend to run a lot hotter than the smaller ego type ones that use higher resistance coils. I found this out myself trying to transition from an ego/aspire K1 tank to a crown sub tank.

Lastly if you do not find a solution from this or other replies/videos, if you have a local vape shop that has good people take it in and ask them to look at it.

Good luck and happy vaping!

Does not sound like a short to me. Your watts may be set to high or your build is to low of resistance. Maybe to much cotton in the coil? Try turning down your power and see if that helps. If not, try a higher resistance build. Less watts = less heat (cooler vape) more watts = more heat (warmer vape).

The entire RBA section comes apart into pieces so you can clean it easily. All the parts on the deck come loose as well. You need to ensure everything is tightened down. I take my tanks/RBA sections apart completely and put them back together once a week.

It sounds like you need to check and make sure everything is tightened now. Things can work loose if you aren't careful.

If you are getting dry burns/hot vapes/ or spitback then you may been to change your coil. How long have you been vaping on this particular coil and how often do you vape? How much juice do you use per day? And what wattage are you using?

It's .5 but reading at .7

Two days on this coil so far, but it does it on all of them so far. I vape for maybe 5 hours all together everyday. My tank is 3ml and I go through that in like 4.5 days. I switch between 15 and 18 watts, higher the watts..less spitting. But too high (18+) and it burns my coil.

Ya when I use less watts I get more spitting.
