My way of perfect wicking of the Subtank. Trust me, it works every time.

[Lemwise]

So I was looking at the 2 side holes in the updated Subtank rba deck and thought to myself, why not treat it as a clearomizer instead of just another build deck? Thread the cotton through the first hole, then the coil and out the other hole. Cut the cotton so that about 2mm of it protrudes out of the deck and see what happens. This way the cotton fibres are nicely lined up and the distance to the coil is minimized. As it turns out, this is the perfect way to wick the rba deck. No dry-hits, spitting or leaking. And this is with a 70/30 blend.

May I ask the diameter of your coil and the wattage you're running it at??

I'm still using the pre-installed coil, I think it's 2.5 mm in diameter? I vape mostly at 23-26 watts but even at 30 watts I haven't had a single issue.

Been doing this since I saw this post and it works better than the way I was doing it... which was just stuffing the cotton down to the juice holes. That worked fine, but I would get dry hits once in a while. This way? No dry hits at all.

Did you drill those holes?

Did you drill those holes?

This is on the new RBA, not the old one.

I will try this idea. haven't been able to find a good setup for the sub plus yet. cant even get my v1 from my mini working good in it for some reason.

 

[Imperialchugger]

Nice im gonna try this wicking method. the normal wicking method the subtank has always been a hit or miss for me.

 

[Imperialchugger]

I try it and wow it's good. Draw is less tight, juice draws well. Better flavor now.

I also wick this way, and so far have had no issues whatsoever. Was gonna make this exact post to share with others, so I'm glad you did so

 

[sonicbomb]

Thats basically the same build as the V1 horizontal OCC coil.

 

[mountaingal]

This will be my next build!
I love how little juice this RTA uses.
I used to fill up twice a day, now only once. And I can vape all day on my job.

 

[cheech226]

looks pretty good. i'll give it a try next re wick. i hope it will give a little more airflow too.
even tho i'm a complete newb with an rta (i've built 2 coils so far), been having great luck using my stm, no problems what so ever.

That's how I do it. But I like to 1 Extra Step.

And that is I take the Snipped Off pieces of Cotton that were sticking out of the Holes and stuff them into the Open Areas inside the RBA Section.

I think it gives the wick More Reserve Capacity. But I could be Over Thinking it. But then again, I haven't run the Wick Dry. So I keep Doing what Works.

 

[cheech226]

it was a little difficult to thread it that way for me. i'm using titanium wire so i didn't mess the coil up. i'd imagine with nickel it would have been much harder to do. the airflow is improved and so far it's working great. thanks!

What gauge is the stock coil? I plan on using 26g, is it ok?

 

[Lemwise]

26g is just fine. That's what I always use.

 

[evan le'garde]

Got two Subtank Mini's sitting in the cupboard i haven't used in about 6 months since i started using my Zephyrus and a few other RTA's.

 

[Vaping_Racoon]

A little late but has anyone tried this with Max VG? Does it work?

I'm currently on 60/40 and this works like a charm, planning to go max (80-90%) soon.

Thanks folks!

 

[zoiDman]

I haven't had any problem running High VG in RBA Plus using the Tech Outlined here except for 1 Time.

I kept getting Dry Hits. Couldn't figure out What was Going On.

I Re-Wicked / Re-Coiled about 3 Times before it Dawned on me that I Forgot to put a Few Drops of Water into my High VG DIY Mix.
