So, I'm using an Kanger KBox with the Kanger Subtank Mini Tank and I've had this vaporizer for about a year. Last night the vape just stopped working without being dropped or anything. The weird part is the battery lights up as if the vape was working. I thought the atomizer might be shot, so I threw in a new one and still not vaping. I've cleaned the connection and it started working for about 6 puffs at one point then stopped again. I can't figure out what the hell is going on. Can anyone give some suggestions?

Sounds to me like the center contacts aren't having a proper connection.
What Neunerball said. If it worked after a cleaning try a better cleaning. Use a Q-tip dampened with alcohol and clean out the 510 and the pin on the tank. let it dry before you try it. A pencil eraser works wonders on electrical contacts also. I have an older Subtank and have to clean the crap out of it to get it to read right with Ni200 coils It's not as big of a problem with Kanthal but try it you got nothing to lose. If you have a meter do what Losthasher says to see if it's passing voltage to the 510. If none of this works it may be time for a new mod or advice from someone who knows more about the box than I do. good luck

That's the diagnosis I got for my w.'s Eleaf Mini iStick. Took it apart, reset the pin a little higher and it works fine. I don't know who's happier... her for not having to buy another unit, or me for successfully fixing a mod. One down, three to go.
Fixed a mod and got points with the wife couldn't ask for more.
