Subtank mini leaking from drip tip??

[xantivenxm]

Starting to get leaks from around the drip tip..



Anyone know why?

Also getting leaks below the coil into the airflow ring.. thinking it's the wick.

What wattage are you vaping at?

It sounds like you're flooding the atty and your wick isn't positioned optimally, I assume your using the RBA ?

Maybe try opening the airflow more if you have it restricted

What power are you vaping it at ?

Vaping between 20-26w depending how strong I fancy it with 50/50 juice.
Yes I'm using the RBA. Got myself vaping bacon so gonna try that for new wick once this tank runs out.

It has always gotten a bit of juice under the drip tip that I clean out when it's removed. But its now flooding out. Could it be the o ring around the drip tip?

Also find any higher wattage than that it burns..

[Greg]

You always get a little juice at he drip tip over time but it shouldn't floodout ever. Do you have the airflow fully open ?

[xantivenxm]

Yes sorry forgot to answer that. Full airflow always

[Greg]

Then I'd suggest your wicks not quite right and juice is bypassing it. are you using the V1 or V2 RBA base ?

[xantivenxm]

Errrrr I don't know. I got my subox kit when it first came out so I would guess v1?

[xantivenxm]

And yes maybe it is the wick.. I will Rewick with this vaping bacon I've heard good things about and see how I go.
Maybe need to leave more cotton in it and not cut so much off.

[Greg]

I use cotton bacon in mine, I find the trick is to cover the full width of the well on each side. See my tutorial in my sig for wick placement. It's for the V1 but positioning is the same for the V2 apart from the step which pulls the wick away from the juice channels in the guide

[catface26]

This is how I wick my subtank -



No leaks, no dry hits.

Just rewicked with vaping bacon and made sure it was fluffier than usual and ensured it was squished nicely in the juice channel but not overlapping the power columns.
Also double checked the cotton didn't fall inwards towards the hole and voila airflow is improved, so far no bubbling like it was!
Thanks guys

You know I didn't believe the hype around vaping bacon.. Thought the website description of better flavour was just good marketing blurb but it is actually tasting better than the Japanese cotton I had!
