So i just received a subtank mini from mvs and so far i cannot get it to wick any juice into the heads, ive tried the two it came with plus another 1.2 ohm i bought separately. I took everything apart and cleaned them and put everything back together twice now. Even if i put the airflow to closed and pull it doesnt seem to pull in any juice and i almost never see a bubble come from them. Any idea why this might be? ive heard of leaky tanks but this one just refuses to wick juice at all.
Subtank mini not wicking at all with occ head

Yea i primed them good, but after 2 hits they start to dry out and then no more juice pulls in.
It would be impossible for the wick not to wick. It is possible that you are burning off the juice too fast though. Which coil is it, what airflow are you using, and what power do you have your mod set at?
Yea i know and i dont usually have these problems, im thinking somehow maybe mine is defective but it doesnt wick any juice to the coils. Im using the 1.2 ohm coils currently airflow can be closed or open it wont wick, i started them at like 8 watts and worked up to 15 or so, doesnt matter they dry out after a few hits, and then i just stop cause i dont want to burn them out.
I don't know then. I am vaping 65vg/35pg with the .5Ω OCC coil at 28 watts and not a hint of a dry hit, even chain vaping it during my breaks. The only thing I could think of would be you have air coming in from one of the o-rings, if that were the case though, you would likely have flooding issues as well. You also said you closed off the air flow, which have made a bad seal evident.
Yea the seals all seem to be fine, also the wick seems to stay consistently saturated i just feel that its on the dry side. like if i look down the tube with a light the coil just looks saturated enough that its not burning. maybe this is just how they preform... ill try rewicking them myself and see if i like that, if not i made another bad choice to buy a kanger product i guess.
it seems u have a vacuum leak, maybe.
occ gives a moist vape if anything.
close off airholes and suck on it, do u see any airbubbles and/or notice air leakage

When I close off the airflow and pull on it, even pretty hard. Nothing happens, no bubbles or signs of an air leak, it's strange.
To me it kinda seems like there is way too much cotton for it to flow through it, but all 7 of the heads I have seem to be wicked all about the same.
Unlikely from myvaporstore... Idk I'm debating on seeing if they will just exchange it for a new one. Not really sure what the problem could be.
I'm gonna rewick them and see if that works if not I'm gonna assume something is wrong with the tank and seals... It's almost as if it's sealed to well and not allowing juice into the cotton.
Yea there is a complete change to the airflow when adjusted. And when it's closed there is virtually no air flow at all. Which would make me think all the seals and what not are functioning perfectly. My wick however is just always dry no matter what I do.
What's even more strange is that my rda deck seems to wick perfectly, but with the 2 coils it came with plus another one from a 5 pack none of then will wick. I guess I'll try another 1.2 head and see if it will wick. I just can't see how 3-4 authentic heads won't wick... Unless these wicks are supposed to look just wet enough not to burn...
long shot, but u do know the juice has to be filled up past the wick holes.
did u let coils saturate overtime b4 vaping,
did u check authenticity code w/kangertech website
idk what else it could be, im at a loss for an explanation

Yea all those things, I really appreciate the help though. In another update in currently using the rda part no problem wicks fine. But 4 heads won't. I even tore the wick out of one and put a much smaller amount of cotton then was in there, but again after 2-4 hits it's dry and stops wicking, no bubbles from the hole or anything. Gonna try and exchange this one but it looks like they aren't going to do it, feel like I should have never bought this tank and just stuck with the atlantis and nautilus mini....
see if they can test it out or exchange for u.
nautilus doesnt even compare the the stmini, i have 2 nautilus and theyre collecting dust.
the rba is all im using now anyways, imo much better the occ, headover to the stmini thread for wicking info. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clearomizers/644323-kangertech-subtank-mini-66.html
