Great idea Greigster - just need to get me a TFV4 tank now to make full use of your excellent suggestion!

I've recently replaced my first trusty 20ml syringe with another as the seal went; I reckon I must have got at least 18 months of use out of the first one, and yes, I do use sellotape to cover the indices. I run a bowl of hot water and sluice them out a few times between each use, and it doesn't seem to have done them much harm yet

Thanks for that Get Off My Cloud, can't believe that a Chinese company hasn't produced one yet! The more I heft this mod in my hand, the more I like it; not much smaller than my X Cube II, but much more likeable!

I have been very fortunate spotting one of these going very locally to me on a Facebook site and, having paid last Thursday evening, have tonight picked it up.
First impressions is that it is a lovely mod, great finish, easy to use menu with much of the X Cube II functions apart from the disco lights, and it feels considerably lighter in the hand.
I will post a picture or two once my phone has some charge back (it switched off 2 seconds after taking the first photo!), but I have a question to ask of our retailing gurus; where can I get a black silicone sleeve for it, to replace the rather gaudy orange one that came with it?
Your assistance, as ever, will be gratefully received!
Andy

Apart from the elecktrickery side of things, have any of you noticed that it weighs slightly over 1lb!!? That's one way to build up the muscles for sure!

Ewol - pardon me for not checking back through this thread, but what strength of juice are you using? If you are running the .5ohm head at anything like 20w, you will be vapourising much more juice and this means you have to seriously lower the nic levels, otherwise you will get too much. Also, if your juice is fairly high in PG, this will also be taken into effect. If you can, get another OCC head and play around with some higher VG juice, and at a lower strength than you were previously used to. The Subtanks are great bits of kit, and with our help I'm confident we can get you a satisfying and faff-free vape

I'm fairly new to Subtanks, but not to coiling and wicking. All the advice given above agrees with my experiences so far; not enough wick, and too low a power rating to properly vapourise the juice would seem to be the most obvious answers, as well as checking for O rings properly seated and no damage to the chimney in the tank. Let us know if our suggestions work, otherwise we'll think again!
