The newest Subtank RTA build

[TheMike21]

So I got my Kbox Mini kit, and I wanted to start building. I've gone over every video, tutorial and review but I have been unable to get info on the newest version of it.
This one:

My main issue is with wicking, either I get a very tight drag or I burn my cotton. I burn it when I build a micro coil 2.4mm at .5ohms and I got the tight drag and eventual burned cotton with a 3mm .3ohm
Would the pancake work on it? Any tips, help and/or guidance will be appreciated.

Here's how I do it. I have yet to find a better way.
My way of perfect wicking of the Subtank. Trust me, it works every time.

Awesome, will try as soon as I get home. Back then you said you were using the coils it came with. Have you tried your own build? What results have you gotten?

Just got my Subtank and inside of an hour I've ruined 6 wires, lost a screw and still don't have a usable rba. Do you people all have little doll hands? I haven't even gotten to the wicking yet.

It took me like 6 tries before getting a descent coil. I know how you feel.

Well I got my first put together and wicked (poorly). I used a pre-made coil 1.5ohm 28g 2.5mm and it reads at .96ohm on my apv. [emoji14]

Good job! **High five**

Yeah, hate those little screws Spyder.....just lost one on my sub plus today.....I vowed to not buy another sub ohm tank until it has a normal size rba head, I think most of the current subtanks that offer a rba head are merely an afterthought to entice the rebuilder.....but the end game is really to sell propitiatory heads, there are a new crop of rtas that look promising , might give one a try

When I get my rba head to work (for like an hour) it is soooo much better than the replacement coils. I just need to make the magic last.

I find that I have to adjust the wick every other fill or so. The wick seems to move itself to tight to juice holes.

It's working nicely, a little too tight on my first try but I rewicked it with less cotton and now it is awesome

This little Goodie can help.

My standard build for the subtank is 5 wraps of 26 gauge kanthal with an ID of 3mm. This is a spaced coil that comes in at 0.6 ohms and it works perfect every time.

Meh. For locating lost screws on a carpet full of dog hair? Maybe. I'd appreciate small hands like a geisha girl though. [emoji38]

Drag a fridge magnet through the carpet and see if you catch anything.

How are you guys losing the screws? You only have to loosen them up a couple of turns, not take them all the way out.

Never underestimate the powers of clumsiness
