Subtank Nano Wicking Question

[CptnRedBeard]

Hi All!

New'ish to vaping and recently picked up a Subtank mini and have been LOVING it for the past few days. I went ahead and got a nano too for my running around/compact vape setup, but I'm running into some issues and had a couple of questions...

I have 70vg/30pg in my mini and it wicks great, everything is perfect with the OCC's (using the 1.2 coils). I mistakenly bought some max VG liquid and figured since the mini was wicking the 70/30 great I would try out max VG in the nano. I have seen people say they can run high VG in their subtanks but I'm having some slight issues and have to wait a few in between puffs.

1. After every pull on the nano, i see a couple bubbles come from the holes, I know this is a sign that it IS wicking . Yet all the other tanks I have though dont do this. I'm assuming this is because these other tanks are wicking perfectly and pull juice in seamlessly while puffing therefore no sudden flood of juice which would cause the bubbles? Do the bubbles mean its wicking poorly, but wicking nonetheless?

2. If the bubbles are a sign of poor wicking is there anyway to save this bottle of max VG liquid, I'm def a cheapo and would hate to toss it!

I dont have any issues with my nano i use The vaping rabbit e liquid its 99.9% VG. Did you try the .5 coil at higher watts on my istick i keep it around 10 watts, on my kamry i keep around 18 watts.

My Nano bubbles alot also but so far I've only had one burnt hit on it and that was when I jacked it up to 30 watts, so I don't worry about.

I have not used the .5 coils just yet, I have the 1.2 in both my mini and the nano. I guess I'm just stumped as to why the mini doesnt bubble and the nano does and if the bubbles are an indication of poor wicking or what.

As a newer vaper, when I see the mini act one way, then the nano act differently with these bubbles it's confusing to me as to why.

By chance do you have a mini too? seeing as how they both use the same coils/wicks I'm wondering why one would bubble and the other wouldnt.

Bubbles are good! The more bubbles the more juice it's pulling in. The more juice it's pulling in the more juice your vaping. All good things! Worry when you don't see bubbles!

Best tip I've encountered for my tank was to make sure to push the cotton material INTO the wicking holes, not all the way but to ensure that you see a little bit of the lip, solved all of my dry hit and wicking problems

Really? I've picked up another tip, to make sure that the juice holes are clear. The wick might block the liquid, thus dry hits.. I keep the end of the wick on the base, freeing the holes from the wick so as soon the liquid hits the base, it floats to the tip of the wick and those guys will suck it up the coil.. :s

I like thicker juices and that was a tip i picked up somewhere
