So here is a little review of the Subtank Mini from Kangertech I got around 3 weeks ago from Vape King on 22/5/2015.
Mod and juice used
The mod I used is the SX350 upgraded to 60watt that I built into a Hana box last year August http://www.ecigssa.co.za/diy-sx350-hana-box-mod.t4834/ . This device has served me very well and never had one days issue with exclusive use every day.
The juice I use in the Mini is my all day vape which is a DIY Dulce De Leche and Bavarian Cream 3mg 50/50 pg/vg mixed 10ml Dulce and 5ml Bavarian to 100ml
First Impressions:
When I opened the the courier package I was pleasantly surprised at the box the Mini came in.
Nice and sturdy with everything neatly in its place easy to read and understand instructions.
A very nice touch is the OCC coil warning leaflet telling you to prime the coils before use.
Device was nice and clean from the start but I always wash everything with some hot water and sunlight to get all the residue machine oil off.
The fit of the device is also top notch and the threads and machining is flawless.
Using the Mini:
Filling is effortless and very easy.
First up I used the supplied 1.2 ohm OCC coil and man was I surprised at the good vape it was giving even at my usual 13watt to 15watt for that ohms. I usually run the voltage on the SX350 between 4v and 4.4v.
I have not used the .5 ohm OCC coil yet as I believe it will be a juice guzzler of note and I am happy with bit higher resistances. I will give it a go sometime just to see the clouds it can do.
The RBA section comes with a .5 ohm coil which I replaced with a 1 ohm 2.4mm id spaced coil and it seems to keep up with the juice wicking with the 50/50 blend. I can chain vape it until i cant see in front of me any more and no dry hits at all.
After about 2 weeks of vaping the standard 1.2 ohm OCC coil it was time to replace it so I thought I would give a rewick a try. Man did I fail miserably at that....
Tried every which way from the videos on Youtube with a few ideas from myself and could not stop it from dry hitting after 4 consecutive lung hits. I kinda decided to give that up and use the RBA section and would order more 1.2 Ohm coils later on. After 2 days more of playing around with the OCC it became apparent that I needed to try another coil inside the OCC coil head and my first attempt worked beautifully without any dry hits chain vaping.
The coil was a 6/7 wrap spaced coil 1.1 ohm 2.4mm id 26g. But it was still lacking the dense feel and amount of vapour that I wanted.
Remedy was a 5 wrap spaced coil .8 ohm 2.4mm id 26g running at 17watts and just over 4v on the SX350 with no leaking or flooding. Now that is what I wanted. Flavour, density and amount of vapour is just right on the second largest setting on the airflow control. Even the largest setting works great but it is a bit too open for my liking.
Conclusion:
All in all I think this was the best move I could make coming from a Kayfun. The lack of airflow on the Kayfun was getting to me and the Subtank Mini stepped up and gave me exactly what I wanted and more.

For me anyway! The Atlantis and in fact any other tank is better for me.
