yes that the way I do my wick also,did have to find different o-ring for deck to base because it leaked . o-rings are very cheap that come with this
Where did u find the orings? I used my rba deck for a whole day with no leaking issues and tonight juice just started coming out of the afc, same build, same wicking. Hell I even had it in my purse earlier today and it didn't leak a drop. Come home and refill and now it won't stop filling the base with juice.

I had some extras from other tanks but that didn't work for long. what the problem is that o-ring pops out when you tighten it down so you have to go real slow little bit at a time until snug. make sure to lube it with some juice first

I got a TFV4 Mini kit the other day and it comes with the TF-RCA RBA section, which I guess stands for "Rebuildable Clapton Atomizer". I'm just getting started building, and the TFV4's build deck is roomier and easier to work with than the Subtank Mini's deck but...

I don't understand, why four screws? Even the clapton coil that's pre-installed on it only uses two. From what I know, decks with four "posts" are designed for dual coil building, but the way the four screws are positioned in this thing, I don't see how you would do it. Is it supposed to allow for dual coils, or does it have something to do with clapton coils?

Here's a picture of it, in case you've never seen it...

Can anyone set me straight on this? Thanks!
I got the mini tank and have been trying out on the rba it's a b mainly wicking issues and have some all kind of builds heads up the dual rba doesn't work good in the mini tank it's larger and blocks the juice from getting to the channels properly maybe adding holes higher would help haven't tried yet but I may

I just got the tfv4 mini yesterday running it on my snow wolf. I am going to try the single clapton coil that is on this deck first. I have been rebuilding for years but this will be the first build for a tank. I am pretty sure that if used to rebuild the pro tank coils this will be a breeze. Wanted to see what the stock coils were about first trying the tri coil out for the first one in. Its pretty awesome however juice ..... sucks it down hard. If i can make the single coil work im going to buy the dual coil deck for it. I am very familiar with the ohms with dual coils been ahwile since i have built a single coil.

After reading this thread, I can finally use my tfv4 mini! Can only use the rebuildable clapton cause I only have a 60w box, but I kept getting dry hits. Cut my wick into a v, put the ends into the juice channels before closing it up...and voila! Deliciousness! Thanks everyone!
