In other news, I've been having a bad experience with my tank. Has anyone else had any problems with the Kanger Subtank Mini? I've been repeatedly burning coils no matter what I do.. I've been priming, and dropping liquid onto the coil before I install it. It even burns at minimum power. I can't get a coil to last longer than two days, no matter what I do. I've been looking at other sub-ohm tanks, but there aren't many that fit into my batteries power range (30w max). I'm tempted to buy another Subtank but I don't want to end up with another tank that does this. I've been smoking cigarettes again for the last month or so because I can't get the tank working properly. I really loved this tank when it was working properly though..
Does anyone have any suggestions for a new sub-ohm tank? I've never tried building coils before. The only other option seems like the Aspire Atlantis.
My buddy has the Atlantis v2 and loves it. He's used it both without and with TC, and won't stop singing it's praises.
I've a Subtank Mini, and haven't had any issues with burning coils, however same previously mentioned buddy had a Subtank Mega and was constantly burning through coils. I'm usually running the .5ohm coils @ 40W and it hits really solid, no spitting or dry hits.
What ohm coils are you going with? Have you tried the new style coils yet? How many watts are you pushing? I usually make sure that I prime them with a decent amount of liquid, maybe try more?
I've been using the 1.2ohm, but I do use 0.5ohm's as well. I prefer the 0.5, but I found the 1.2 lasted longer. The last time I bought coils, I bought the new style of coil. Same problem with both the old and new coils. For power, I used to use 21 watts on both .5 and 1.2, but now if I do 21 they burn almost instantly. on the minimum wattage for 1.2 (15w I think?), I get a couple days of half-decent vaping. I've primed them until they've flooded and they still burnt. Honestly, it's such a frustrating problem. All I want is to not smoke cigarettes.

I'll take a look into the Atlantis V2. I've heard good things about some of the sub-ohm tanks that have come out since I bought the Subtank, but only the Atlantis and Subtank seem to fit into the power range of my iTaste MVP3.
Do any Canadians have a suggestion for a site that sells good liquid AND coils for a subtank mini? I'm looking to change my liquids up a bit, but I'm not too sure on a good vendor to go with. It would be best if they also sell coils, because I don't want to pay for shipping twice. )
Where in BC you located? Any local vape shops? Best advice I got was to go to every vape shop in a 20 mile radius and try ****.
I live in the Okanagan, Penticton to be exact. There are no vape shops in my town yet. There's a hemp shop that sells liquid but they don't have any 100% VG liquids, and high PG sucks in sub-ohm tanks in my experience. They also carry only crap tanks and batteries, and no coils - they told me everyone usually just buys another tank when the coil goes. )
There should be an Atomic Vapor shop here in a couple months. Mechsauce looks cool, but I don't know if they will work for me since they're based in the US. I've heard it's difficult to get nicotine liquids across the border, a lot of people say they get turned back at customs.

I just saw a thread about this on Reddit same exact problem meow..... Have you tried inserting a needle through the wicking holez to create a little channel in your coils cotton? Another very common occurrence is people drilling out there sub tanks to increase channel size. So either way you should be getting at least a week out of your coils....
I did try the needle through the cotton when I was still using the old coils (still burnt), maybe I'll give it a try with the new style ones.

A few pages back when i first started vaping i got a subtank and had this same problem. I could NOT get my subtank to work right, always burning cotton hits, sputtering and popping all the time, etc. I called up the place i bought it from and they refunded me and made it sound like a common problem.
Hmm, it's long past the window for me to return it, as it worked fine for the first long while - but that's the same problem I'm having, minus the sputtering and popping. It does flood once in a while though. Maybe I'd have better luck with another Subtank Mini? I love everything about it except this problem. When it was working, it was the best thing ever.
I'll have to get a new tank later though, as I'm pretty broke. I've been hand rolling cigarettes because I'm a poor ass college student right now.

Thanks for the replies guys, appreciated.
