I just checked, my subox kits didn't come with spare o-ring kits like you get in the subtank plus but I would say it's where your problem is

I wonder if they have modified the seals in the newer versions???

Apparently this fixes it.Too little cotton in the coils.
Looks like Ill just have to start rebuilding again.Dont think the issue was there when I was building my own coils.

You have probably said already but I don't remember , is it just the one subtank you have and that one is leaking or have you had more than one . I ask because I have had one of the sub tank minis since they came out and it has never leaked on me ... and I use it every single night . I broke out a second one that I had bought a while ago and have been using it most days for the last two weeks and it doesn't leak .

JH_raheny · 20-10-2015 8:54pm

Has all the leaking been with the same coil ?

That looks like one of the new vertical coil OCCs, wonder if that's the problem - replaced mine with the RBA, so can't really comment in those new vetical coils myself, but never had that issue with the original OCC coils

Head down to Talbot St, there's a Kix and ECirette store not too far from each other, one of them might have them...

Trond · 22-10-2015 3:05pm

Purplebox in Templebar and the Vape café on Capel St. should have them as well.

I wouldn't shop in there to be honest, way overpriced, junk kits, awful juice!
Also, I'm not sure who owns the chain.
ecirette, purplebox, vape caffe or vintage vapes rooms. 4 great stores all in the city centre.

kingtiger · 25-10-2015 10:59am

Couldn't source one, so bought a jig and nickel wire from fastech

Time I gave making my own coils a shot

Mr.lollo14 · 25-10-2015 9:41pm

Hi guys, I'm vaping with my subox and subtank mini but I almost finished my bases I need to buy some..
I went few days ago to Ecirette in Talbot Street (Dublin) but I didn't find any. (I bought some FlavourArt concentrate at a good price, lot of choice).
I would like to try a 70Vg-30Pg and also I need a base with nicotine..
Which shops are in the Dublin city centre where I can find some?

Btw, I started today my Rba, it's a pleasure to vape with 1 oHm, 2,5mm 6 coils Kanthal A1 0,28mm, huge clouds and great flavor, perfect compromise!!
I just fall in love with the Evic vtc-mini..I'll need to wait I just bought my subox and it works to fine for sell it

If someone is interested I have an organic Tobacco from Italy, it's crazy good, but I quitted from smoke and I don't like that taste anymore..I swap it for a base

Het lollo

Get your base from

I get my concentrate from

http://www.inaweraflavours.com/en

Or

http://picknmixdiy.com (they have nice glass 30ml bottles as well)

Mr.lollo14 · 26-10-2015 5:14pm

Always passed them by myself until last week, just popped in to see what they had, ended up leaving with a ceramic tweezers, yea, it seemed over-priced, but so did the wire cutters i bought in Maplins!

More of a place to try if you're stuck really or in a hurry! Don't get the impression any of the staff vape themselves either, so not very helpful if you need it

TBH I'm nearing the end of my tether with my sub tank Nano. I've had a couple of 1.2 coils burn out at 11 watts(newer vertical ones) and the leaking is becoming ridiculous. Not every time with every coil, but the inconsistency is driving me nuts. TBH I stuck with it so far because when they work the flavour is nice, but I'm defo looking around for an alternative. Any ideas? OK I could try the fix with the cotton stuffing, but I shouldn't have to.

I use a mini and can't get on with the stock could at all. It is a different beast altogether with the rebuildable

Wibbs · 28-10-2015 4:11pm

Which is cool FF and good to hear it's working well for you, but I'm not into the rebuilding at all and couldn't see myself going that route TBH. Certainly not as a regular thing anyway.

In the last half hour on a three day old coil it went from reading 1.2 something to 0.08 ohms and is leaking like a bastard. I've now decanted what liquid was left into a GS Air I had laying around. No leaks and still reading the same Ohms after way more than three days on the same liquid and wattage. Taste isn't as good yes and it tends to splutter more at times, but it was a tenner if memory serves(and holds more juice). A pity cos the Kangertech appealed to me in design terms and flavour but so far the KT Emow tank I had stripped its threads(and leaked like a bitch) after only two months and now this Nano is doing my effin head in.

Where do you get the coils, are they genuine Kanger?

kingtiger · 28-10-2015 4:29pm

Rewicking the rebuildable coil is very easy Wibbs, give it a shot you can't break anything

and as FF says the SubTank rocks when you get the nack of it

Just follow this annoying guy (jump to 3:07)

One of those Kix shops and yep they're genuine checked the anti fake barcode thingie. I actually had the first leakage with one of the coils supplied with the tank. Plus "leaking Kanger" will break Google

so I'm not alone.

Appreciate the link KT, but as I said I don't want to be getting into all that stuff. It's just not for me. I'm not that geeky with stuff like that(with vaping, I would be in other things so I do understand the appeal and the savings). I just want a fully realised product where I can stick everything together and vape. So far, though the Kanger stuff looks the biz and yes has great flavour(when it works) the stuff isn't great longevity wise and leaks. At least in my hands. And except for trying the 0.5 coil that came with it I don't sub ohm, almost never go above 17 watts and no way would I be getting into temp control nickel(for all sorts of reasons), so hardly pushing the technology.

I dunno lads I'm just wary of spending more hard earned on yet another Kanger product/tank, that might be grand if I start building my own coils. You know? That said the flavour is better so it a bit of a

JH_raheny · 28-10-2015 6:11pm

I think I have some vertical coils still , I'll swap you for the rba one if you're not going to use it anyway

Wibbs · 28-10-2015 6:25pm

Thanks for the offer JH, but I don't have a Mini that comes with the RBA, I have a nano.

Fratton Fred · 28-10-2015 6:31pm

I reckon you'd love a Carto tank Wibbs.

It's old skool, but I still think it gives a far better flavour than anything else.

moleyv · 28-10-2015 6:31pm

The rubber seal is on correctly?

Or is it leaking through the air holes?

They were great for taste,I think I still have about a dozen of them left including tanks,I'll share them out if anyone wants one or two of them,can't afford postage costs but send me a small jiffy & you're welcome to them.

Yep and yep. Seems to be mostly leaking through the coil air holes. It varies in severity from coil to coil. Some are much better than others. The one I put in the other day(after the last one died/blew, but didn't leak much at all) is like a bloody tap.

EGriff · 28-10-2015 9:52pm

Have you tried a nautilius? I have a full size one with a few months and it never leaks, less airflow than the subtank but I prefer it that way.

Really good hassle free vape.
