Subtank mini RBA muted flavor

[tomtstealhead]

Hi guys,
I'm relatively new to vaping, so I'm not very knowledgeable about all the new stuff out there. I currently have a kanger subtank mini with an IPV D2 mod. Yesterday, i was running a 27g 0.7 ohm coil, great flavor, lasted me for about 4 days (I like to change coils at least once or twice a week, dry burn them after every tank). Then yesterday noon, I realized my coil was getting some burnt taste, so I changed the cotton and the coil. Got a 28g, 5 wraps, 0.8 ohm coil.

Using the exact same juice in the same tank, the flavor just got muted. I'm vaping a local juice, supposedly fanta grape flavor. The flavor got muted in a sense that it's just minty, the grape flavor is not nearly as intense. I tried it with other juices, changed cotton, change coil, the results are the same. I went to my local vape shop, two other guys working in the shop noticed the muted flavor as well. Changed to use their coil, use their cotton, use their mods, change flavors, all the same, the flavor is just not as intense as before. They couldn't figure out why, and I'm pretty sure all three of us didn't just happen to get vapor's tongue at the same time. The only thing I haven't tried is using a new subtank mini to test the flavor to compare, but I'm currently broke and don't have the money to buy a new tank.

If you guys have any idea what's going on with my tank, please do tell, I'm worried I have to buy

Had something similar happened to me and I took everything apart cleaned it let it dry out reassembled and haven't had a problem since

If you cannot even build your own coils, you certainly have little chance of figuring this out.
The TANK itself is Basically a JAR to hold liquid. A Straw in the Top and a threaded Bottom.

ONLY the RBA can be held suspect if the unit if firing.
If the RBA channels are clear, as prior - They are eliminated.
If the Air passages are Clear, as Before - They are eliminated.

What is left?
The Coil
The Wick

What changed?
Coil Height?
Coil Spacing?
Wick Material?
Wick fit?
Power applied?

Did the e-liquid in any way change - has happened.

Minimal things to consider/correct
Coil
Wicking
E-liquid

**Oh Wait, Did you change Drip Tip style? Bore/shape changes air flow, changes vape.

Good Luck

I do the coiling myself... I just have the people at the vape shop do it for me when I visit them to test if my coiling is the problem. Everything remained the same, even a dripper is giving out more flavor than my subtank mini now. I've tried a bigger diameter and it seemed to improve the flavor slightly, but the flavor originally is no longer there anymore. Is there such things that after some time the tank itself will lose flavor no matter how you clean it?
