Welcome @Mender31 !
I know this tank's older brother quite well. Are you using the pre-built coils? Or are you building your own?

Welcome @Mender31
Congrats on the year without stinkies. Great achievement!!
I also use the predecessor the Subtank Mini V2 (without topfill) and i use the RBA base with a custom coil and wick. Has been working so well for me for so long. No leaking whatsoever.
Maybe one of your o-rings is a bit loose or perished and you need to change it?
Let us know where its leaking from and maybe someone can advise you
Hahaha thanx so much everyone! I'm currently using prebuilt coils but I found some sort of fix on why they are causing the leak as the bottom part of the prebuilt is not entirely finished off so a part of the coil leg sticks out at the bottom.
However this is to what the internet has told me is causing the leak. But mine leaks even after I've applied the fix just much less. The tank has somehow leaked at the top as well by the part where I put juice in. I clean it thoroughly after filling so it shouldn't leak but it leaks by the afternoon after filling it that morning.
I tried the rba and it just lead to utter disappointment. Used Ka1 clapton wire and coil master cotton. Leaked all over the place and got mouthfulls of juice when it tried to hit...

I am not the best leak fixer @Mender31 but i can fully appreciate your frustration. Maybe check the o-rings or try replace them. Otherwise, feel free to start a thread in the following subforum and lets see if we can get the experts to help you out:

If you do start a thread there, post a few close-up photos of the tank and the coil. That usually helps to uncover the problem
Welcome @Mender31
I struggled with my Topbox for almost 7 months before I got it sorted, even after watching all the damn videos on youtube. My current solution which is working satisfactory:
I am assuming you are using the RBA base
1st I drilled the super-tiny juice-holes (in the coil chamber) to 3mm, just ask an engineering workshop to help out. HG Molenaar in Paarl should be able, I think...
2. I build a 7 wrap 28gauge SS coil 2.5mm, it comes to 0.6-0.7 ohm
3. Wicking: Put the wick through one of the juice-holes then through the coil then out the other juice-hole. Then put the coil-chamber in position. Pull the wick straight and fasten the chamber. Now thin out the protruding wick, a lot. snip the ends short.
4. I normally vape in TC 225 deg C.
I've attached a photo, sorry my tank is full. I'll post a pic later with the glass removed so you can see better.

What kit are you using at the moment? And is your handle a nod to Borderlands?

I'm using a starter kit, Eleaf iJust S. Its a great device only had problems with leakage through the air holes
That is a great piece of kit, really user friendly! I think most tanks leak at some point in their lives.
Yeah my friend, who introduced me to vaping, also told me about leakage problems but I got a bit curious as to why a new vape would leak after only being used for a month. I suspect the coils that are build for the iJust S are faulty or maybe its just me bad luck...... Oh and z3r0 is just a gaming name I use, nothing special.
Hi vapers. I am new to the forum. Just thought i would introduce myself. I stay in George in the hart of the Garden Route. Have been vaping now for about 3 years and a few months.
