I always wash new tanks in warm, soapy water then rinse thoroughly. Don't wash the occ coil. It should be fine.
Be careful not to lose any of the small screws though.

I usually alcohol bath the tank or rda. Take the coils out though. No need to clean the coil. I let it sit in the alcohol disassembled for a few minutes then rinse in hot water. Usually gets any left over machine oil out. The subox kit is usually fairly clean though.
Loving my Sub Box Mini! Which edition did you get? I'm using the 1.5 Ohms OCC coil at 13 watts at the moment 
Once your tank is cleaned, prime your coil.
All cotton coils have to be primed well with juice. If they are not primed well the cotton will burn. Once the cotton is burned the burned taste doesn't go away.
To prime the coil, drop 5-8 drops (sometimes less/more depending on the size of the coil head) of juice right inside the coil, another drop of juice in all the holes on the side of the coil. Put the coil in the base, fill the tank and screw the base back onto the tank. Once you put the tank on the battery give it several unpowered primer puffs. This will make sure the wick is fully saturated.
Turn you voltage/wattage down, tank a few hits, bump it up, couple more hits. Repeat until you find your "sweet spot". If your vape starts to taste burnt, dial it back down.
Kangertech suggested operating range for their OCC coils. These are not hard numbers. You can run them lower/higher if you are not getting a burnt taste.
Horizontal OCC Coils
0.5 Ω coils - 15 watts to 30 watts.
1.2 Ω coils - 12 watts to 25 watts.
Vertical OCC Coils
0.2Ω coils - ? watts to 80 watts
0.5Ω coils - 15 watts to 60 watts
1.2Ω coils - 10 watts to 26 watts
1.5Ω coils - 10 watts to 26 watts

I have the Star Wars Edition, like the looks but it will show dirt easily.
The RBA base, the one that is already built and wicked? I didn't wash mine. I just primed it with juice when I went to use it.
I'm learning the lingo but I think it might be referred to as the air flow base that the cage screws to? I stuck it in some water for a soak.
I don't disassemble my bases, just run them under hot water for a few, blow em out and mount your coil.
That depends on what coil you use vs wattage. Also, it's very important to prime those coils.
Refer to this chart posted by Susan-B
