SUBTANK MINI. .FIRST TIME RBA BUILD

[thirty8_4life]

I am gettin ready to wick the rba on the subtank mini for the first time...i have never rebuilt before so im nervous about screwing it up...im gonna use the coils already on it and just wick with cotton. does anyonebhave any advice or good video links to watch and do it right.

rip trippers has a pretty good tutorial on it here.

i also saw one before, pretty much the same thing but shorter here.

i have the subtank mini and subtank plus, the rba is good but its definitely all about how you wick it. its going to be some trial and error. i'm still working at it.

hope this helps! happy vaping brother!

I just got a subtank mini a few days ago and so far have been more pleased with the rba section than the OCC heads. The key for me has been to make sure the included coil has even spacing between the wraps and none are touching (this gave my first attempt hot spots/dry hits). Then, I found that wicking with a decently thick, not rolled or twisted, piece of Japanese cotton worked better than my usual minimum amount of cotton in my drippers. Also, if you get dry hits when at a reasonable wattage, try loosening the barrel section that screws onto the RBA deck slightly before you screw it into the tank. This seems to help with wicking my 80/20 juices. Good luck, keep at tinkering it gets fun after the frustrating first few builds.

Rip Trippers did a good tutorial on wicking.



I personally did twisted build in mine and wicked the same way as Rip did.

The method for wicking the RBA section that I've found to work the absolute best is the one from BK.Riptrippers dry hits a ton.

Hey thanks for the info....just built my first coil and its actually vaping pretty awesome except for a lot of juice popping into my mouth....the occ coils had one lil pop of juice sometimes bit this is kind of excessive...know anything to fix this
