First of all, I got it with clear insulators, just order the new ones, still waiting. Is it normal that even though the ohms don't read on my ipv mini? I think I lost a piece I'm not sure.. Also, there is some leaking on the lower side of the subtank, how am I supposed to rearrange the O-Rings? I don't know if I lost a piece on my rda part so if anyone can tell me, please let me know the parts so I can check if I have them or not..

You've probably got a leak on one of the seals. It's letting air get into the tank so there is no vacuum to balance the liquid. Makes it flood the coil chamber so there is too much liquid on the coils and some is getting out the airhole. I have no idea how to resolve it because mine has been airtight since I got it.

E liquid comes out of the airflow too

If juice is getting into the airflow, this could be an issue where you're not tightening in your coil properly, make sure its nice and tight (but not impossibly tight). This happened to me once.

OR, the gasket that connects from the coil to the chimney is faulty.

Personally, I would get a new tank. You might have gotten a defective one which CAN happen to anything for that matter.

Also, it's been unbearably cold outside lately. Not sure what the weather is like in your area. But some tanks are know to leak when going from freezing cold, to warm, and back to the frigid cold. I never use my vape outside in the cold to prevent the risk of leaking.

I am having the same issue with leakage actually with my Kanger Subtank Mini. Yes I ensure the coil is secured in there right. But I am still getting some leakage. Also just had my first coil burn out on me. Man only had this since sat. Well the issue is more so i think the wick burnt a bit. That or some bad juice stuck in there. I had heard 25 watts was good for it but I did talk to some others who are saying try not to go higher then 20 on these. So with my next I will give it a try. I do plan on saving this and trying to clean it though.

Are you VAPING in the frigid cold? This can attribute to leaking.

Also, the only reason I can see why they don't recommend going at 30w is because the coil can go bad quicker. The organic cotton coils don't last very long.
