subtank mini leaks abit

[VapGeek]

Wanted to try cloud chasing for fun hahahaha.

Base on what I read and understand. If want to cloud chase = high VG + sub-ohm + lots of air + proper wicking

While I personally haven't use a subtank min before. There are a few ways your tank can leak. Either from the o ring securing the glass/tank or from the airflow hole.

Check and confirm whether the leak is coming from. But if confirm coming from the oring area,

1. Dissemble tank
2. Clean o ring with warm water and then dry
3. Drop a bit of juice and rub it around the o ring
4. Reassemble and see if it still leaks

And like the other said, change battery haha!

I am going to give this a try, my tank started leaking right after the 3rd day I have dismantled it a couple of times and now it is still leaking as I typed.

dismantle the entire assembly. it might be the remnants from the initial leak that could be the reason giving you the leaks. you can unscrew the rba from the deck and give them a good wash. make sure the air channels on the rba is free from liquid and the copper contact at the deck too before putting them back altogether.

once assembled, do the normal wicking as per usual. make sure when you screw the rba cap back that the cotton is covering the entire weep hole (the holes at the sides allowing liquid to flow into the rba wick and coil section). you wouldn't want a free flow of liquid into the rba.. that's when you're going have a leak issue.

Oh yeah most important is not to overtighten the atty. Once you feel it's finger tight snug, stop!

Alright

Cool, I'll give that a try.

Subtanks should never be tightened too much btw. Just enough to feel some tension then stop.

Too tight a tension will cause the O-Ring to deform under stress (a little contortion) and hence the seal will not be even. a right snug fit (finger tight, once you feel resistance from the clockwise rotation that's good enough) will suffice for most applications.

this is a tip that was given to me..... always.... always ... always tighten the tank to the atty part/s (base) before screwing into the mod, and when you screw into the mod, dont have to be tight at all... baby finger tight can ald....

i usually tilt my mod+tank upside down and unscrew in case the tank comes instead. alternatively, save yourself heaps of trouble by switching to bell cap
