RobbieR, what juice are you using to only get about 20ml through them?
I get over 60ml and some juices I get over 100ml at 17.4watts +1 boost with 1.2ohm.
It might just be a terribly gunky juice. My banana cream pie is a coil killer.

l have the original .5 head that came in my Subtank. I've re-wicked it a dozen times and when it gets yucky, I toss it in the ultrasonic cleaner for 15 minutes, rinse, and dry, then re-wick.I have the Sub tank plus and the nano and i love both of them. At first my occ coils lasted about a week but after a while i was lucky to get a day. I found you can rewick the occ coil and i have been having great rwsults so far with that. I do a thinner wick and it seems to pull in the juice much better. I am using a 30/70 juice. It seems to me some occ coils have the cotton wich in too tight this does not let the juice flow very well. Also pre soaking a new coil and letting it sit in a tank if juice for 10 minutes be for first use is a must. I new to this and just learningbthe tricks. Once you get the burnt taste it wont go way until you replace the cotton wick.

i think another subtank is a great move. i have a plus, a mini, and the nano. i fill all three in the morning and im good to go. i have found some great prices on ebay for replacement coils and its like you said only need one coil...... not to mention i have just started using the rba that the plus and the mini come with and after a few failed tries at wicking, im really enjoying it@pdxjlb
I only have the one Subtank Mini, I use it all day every day. I plan on buying another tank soon. I want to be able to switch flavors without any hassles. I am contemplating buying another Subtank Mini or Mirco. That way I only have to buy one type of coil for both tanks. I am just not sure if I want to fully commit myself to the Kanger Subtank line of tanks at this point. I am only using the 1.2ohm coils as well. The 0.5ohm coil is too hot and produces too much vapor for me.
Regarding coil life.......I was under the impression that vaping at lower watts can decrease coil life because of build up on the coil? Any idea if this is correct or does higher watts just burn the coil out faster?

I am using 1.5 vertical with 80/20 VG juice, and mine aren't lasting but about 4, 5 days at 11W It sucks. I wonder if 1.2 would be better for me.
How long are your Subtank OCC Coils lasting?
I am using 1.2ohm OCC Coils in my Subtank Mini at 16 Watts (4.3 Volts) . My coils are lasting 6 to 7 days. I vape around 3ml of 50/50 Juice a day.
