Subtank Mini not sitting flush on VTC Mini

[Silver]

So I got this delightful little combo a few weeks ago from Vaperite

I wanted the silver subtank mini.

But does anyone also find it doesn't sit flush on the Evic VTC Mini?



The gap is around 1mm

Works perfectly but I would like it to sit flush if possible. I haven't screwed it down too hard. Just to when it gets quite tight. Don't want to force it further.

Any advice from the other subtank mini and VTC mini users?

Mate, don't own an Evic so can't help there, but I have the same problem with subtank mini and my Eleaf Istick 100w. I am also not keen to over tighten things, she runs fine but sits about 1mm proud of mod. Being a bit OCD with my gear it is starting to piss me off a little.

Thanks @Neal

I suspect the Subtank Mini has a slightly longer 510 connector

The evic VTC mini has a springloaded 510 but i still dont want to overtighten it...

I also get a gap when using the iStick 40, but on the Cloupor GT it sits flush.

I have the exact same setup as your one. My tank sits flush on the evic. No gap.

Thanks for that @montezuma
Is your subtank mini also the v2?

 

[Neal]

Hey @Silver, I run an older version steel sub tank mini and a white V2 and problem is consistent on both tanks.

 

[Andre]

HRH's sits quite flush. V2 base with smaller tank.

 

[Silver]

I suppose it's just luck of the draw. Thanks for all the feedback thus far

I used my ss subtank mini v1 and v2 on a number of devices and they always sat flush, however I always screwed them on quite tight.

My Subtank mini also has a tiny gap on my VTC Mini. The silicon sleeve on the mod makes it pretty unnoticeable though. The sleeve has about a 1mm overhang at the top.

Hi Silver. Yes, it is a V2.

Hi @Silver , I too had the same problem when i first got my evic vtc mini.i think the spring might be a wee to tight . i just tightened until it sat flush and no problems

 

[Ernest]

i think the spring might be a wee to tight

I found this with other mods as well. Over time it loosens up and eventually sits flush.

 

[Silver]

Thanks @shabbar and @Ernest. Will monitor and see how it goes over time.

I have the same problem with my Subtank on my sigelei 150w tc

 

[Neal]

Guys, common denominator here seems to be the sub tank mini and not the mod. Would be most interested to find out why, love the tank but find this problem annoying. Surely a firm such as Kangertech would not design something that only fitted flush on one of their own mods?

The Sigelei 150w TC has a raised 510 connection platform so no tank will sit flush on there. It's raised so that your atomizer will not scratch the finish.

I have measured 3 sub tanks, a tron tank and an ego one mega tank.

The 3 sub tanks measure: 4.64; 4.70; 4.71 mm
The Tron tank measures: 4.36mm
The Ego tank measures: 4.40mm
Which means the sub tanks are the winners by a mean of 0.3mm So not 1mm longer just 0.3mm longer.

Thanks @DaveH
Much appreciated
Amazing how just 0.3mm can be the difference between OCD worries and Happy Days

Just file the positive post down a little, problem solved.

 

[DaveH]

@Alex may have a point here.

@Silver Which of these does your sub tank look like



Dave

 

[DaveH]

The centre post along with the insulation sleeve pushes out.


It is important to understand the coil assembly makes contact with this centre post and could under some circumstances be pushing the centre post further out than it should.

[Silver]

Thanks for the efforts @DaveH

Here is my subtank :



The pin protrudes very slightly but not as much as your second pic in your post with two pics.

 

[DaveH]

Hi @Silver
On a couple of my tanks the post protrudes a little with the coil assembly installed, perhaps not quite so much as yours. However I think that would be normal machining tolerances.




I have also noticed the spring in the 510 connection on the eVic VTC mod does seem on mine to be quite stiff (strong) compared to some of my other mods.
