subtank question

[Leo Bak]

Could be some shortage, make sure the coil doesn't touch anything. What wire, diameter wraps are you using?

Don't know much about much, but I wonder if maybe you turned that wattage up a little and closed down the airflow a little? Just a thought. I'm sure wiser minds will have more to say.

I think thats it the coil is upside down and sitting too low

Fixed the issue but think I need to work on my wicking it's not tight in the coil

A little loose is okay as long as it's not flooding or dry-hitting. Wicking is the Dark Art of building coils..

It doesnt appear to be doing either but it doesnt feel like a smooth vape i think if i rewicked with a little thicker wick i might have something

Yes, that's the Dark Art at play..

Rewicked just primed waiting for it to soak up the liquid

Get a new bottle of Heinz ketchup. Open and attempt to pour..

Maybe its just me but it seems very sufferent from an occ coil. I think the wick is too wet easy way to get off excess liquid

Either open it up and dab out the excess with a tissue, or hold the tank bottom end up whilst vaping to expose the juice holes and vape off the excess.

Subtank is working now. Took it to vape shop. Turns out the original occ coils work better then the ssocc and i switched to a max vg blend

Glad you got it working.

I have the cotton tight but loose enough to slide in the coil.

Someone asked what wattage I use and I have it at 26w.

Yeah too high on the PG there. You want at least 50/50 in a subtank.

My sweet spot is 70VG at between 30-35W, .5ohm coil, wide open.

If 60VG I'll vape between 27-30W. Tried 50/50 and was giving me vape tongue too quickly.

Ny sister vapes a Subtank mini with 70% VG Juice on the RBA with out issues at all.

I've run 80% PG in the STM without any leaking, just use a rather large ID, like 3mm.

So again my subtank is giving me problems. Basically like a lot of other posters have said my tank is spitting ejuice into my mouth. So I think that the coil is having trouble vaporizing the juice cause it's too thin (70pg/30vg) I'm wondering if it's worth it like just time wise to buy 50/50 vg/pg or if I should actually use like a 60/40 (vg/pg) mix. And if this would even help the issue?

You probably answered your own question...the juice is too thin for a subtank. Definitely go with higher VG - at least 60 if not 70. Also, be careful not to overfill the tank. That will cause the same problem. I do that occasionally..gotta pack as much juice in that tank as possible..lol
