Are you using the same juice you used with the .5 coil...did you prime the new coils with 3-4 drops of juice before installing them? I have not had these issues, however, if your other coils are the 1.2 ohm coils, their max rating is 25 watts, so you may want to drop the voltage...I run my 1.2's at about 18 watts, with 50/50 or 40/60 juice.
If it's well primed (I personally put about 10 drops in there and wait for the cotton on the ports to change color) it should be fine. I vape mine a lot lower, however. I only push mine up to around 20w. The juice I use tends to burn over 23w on the OCC coils and on the RBA. Just because you can, doesn't necessarily mean you should.
Ye I was thinking it might be the liquid cause I've just changed company and haven't had a dry hit yet might not be a dry hit the liquid just taste burnt after the 4th or 5th pull but one of my mini is leaking now not from the air hole but round the Base
You have to adjust the wattage for the 1.2 vs the .5 coil...if leaking out of the airflow hole, you need to make sure the coil is screwed in tight.
I have the mini now about 1 1//2 weeks. I find I can't take the .5 OCC above 25watts with any of my 50/50 juices. I also can't go higher than a 40/60vg or it can't keep up with me. I also had the tank leak out the air hole 3 times now on me with different coils. I have tightened the OCC so I know it's not loose. I am at a loss on the leaking but it's driving me nuts.
I went and picked up the OCC Atlantis coils from Kidney Puncher and picked up the 5ml tank for it and I couldn't be happier. I just don't get it, never leaks, wicks my high VG juices so I don't need to buy or make 50/50 blends. Tastes to me are equal. My Atlantis coils also seem to last way longer.
I wish I could help you OP but I simply stopped using mine.

Sam, might want to make sure the o-rings are not pinched or torn. Not sure about the Mini, but I know on my Nanos, there is a definite direction in which they need to be positioned. Almost like there's a flange on the o-ring so it really only sits properly in one direction....
I don't have any problems with leaking anywhere on my tanks.

I thought mine was leaking from the base/glass area too, but it was actually seeping into the airflow collar and small amounts would make it outside and make the glass sticky, make sure the coil is tight, and the bottom seal between the glass and base is properly installed in the groove. On the mini, the gasket is the same on both sides, fairly flat...
I think the whole taste is subjective. I think they are the same, this is testing side by said with same juice. I can run my Atlantis at higher watts so it's a little more satisfying for me.
To the above posts about leaking. I know all my O-rings are correct, not torn and coil is tight. To the poster stating it's not the air hole, it absolutely is you just aren't seeing it because it's slowly leaking and it appears it is under the base where it starts.

I don't mean under the Base at the bottom I mean we're the glass meats the Base it's leaking above the air hole all the way round at the bottom of the glass I took it back and after a our of them testing it which it was leaking every time he cleaned it and refilled it and after 15 mins of arguing he reckon I shud just put up with it I walked out with a new one which has no problems
Send kanger customer support an email, I did when I had issues with mine leaking and they sent me two sets of replacement o-rings (for free) which solved the issue.
