Hello IVe been happily vaping away for over a year now with my Kanger Subtank and never really use anything else these days. The screw in the RBA has started to stop screwing in and so Ive been looking for a replacement RBA. IVe tried Amazon, Gearbest and Fasttech, all of them stated they had the V2, or at least showed a picture of one in the profile and all of them have sent me the V1 version with the tiny holes The screws for them seem to be a different size to the V2 screws too, so I cant even swap. Does anyone know anywhere that stocks the V2? The V1 is the one on the left of my picture, got about 8 of these now lol.

Those aren't V1 they're some kind of clone of the V2, the V1 didn't have holes in the side of the barrel section it had channels cut into the deck section. MyEpack have the V2 in stock and you'll at least know it's authentic. myepack.co.uk/accessories/kanger/kanger-mini-rba-plus.htmlAlternatively if you have a drill or know someone with one just drill out the holes on the ones you bought larger.

dismantle them and drill the holes out to around 3mm if you really dont fancy doing it yourself post them to me and ill do it for you the mk1 had small v,s cut into the base for wicking and no screw on the side that do look like a mk2 and i had one supplied with the all in one kanger mod thing that had the same small holes so it could genuine its also worth opening up the holes on the centerpin to let more aair throw if you going for more than 30 watts

Cheers all Off to the garden shed on Saturday lol ;p not being funny but clamp the tube your going to drill in a vice or some mole grips,do not try to hold it with your fingers and drill it as it dont end well well it didnt for me another good tip is drill from one side to do one hole then turn it over and drill the hole on the other side from the out side as well trying to drill all the way throw in one go didn't end well for me either hope that helps you keep all yer fingers

Another drilling tip I discovered the hard way (!) is to screw the top on before you put it in the vice for drilling - the sides don't get squashed in that way.
