Kanger Subtank NOT Making Connection, Please Help.

[Vapomizer]

Hey Guys,

I have a Kanger Subtank Nano (the new top filled version 3)

It is not making a connection, i tried everything imaginable with the center positive pin at the base, put a drop of solder on the base of my coil heads, move, re-seat, clean the positive pin, still not making a connection

I did some tests with a wire and a multimeter and the end result is that the positive pin at the base is non-conductive anymore for some reason.

My question is, is there a way to change that pin with anything else from a hardware store? what material is that pin made off? is it brass? any low resistance conductive material shall work? should i put a screw in its place? wrap it in aluminum foil or whatever to make it conductive again?

I can not come up with a good idea to fix this so i thought you guys can help.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried gently pushing down on the center pin of the base? I used to have to do this with my Aerotanks to get a connection on certain mods.

ok after some more tests, it does not seem like the center pin is the problem, it is the negative body of the base or the threads are the problem, i have taken off the pin and tested it alone by touching the wire directly to its top tip and then connecting it to the 510 base at the mod and it is making a connection, now with the center pin off, i screw the base to the mod, connect one of the leads to the center pin on the mod directly and the other part to the base, and it is not making a connection.

I think i have isolated the base as a the source of the problem.could be that the negative threads at the base have been oxidated and are no longer making a connection, at this point i am not sure how to fix it ....

i was able to isolate the root cause, the threads which you screw the coil head to, are isolated from the threads at the button which screws to the negative threads of the 510 in the mod!

I am trying to take the base apart to check what's up from the inside but i can not.

Ok the negative base is non-conductive, and is impossible to take apart for internal inspection and cleaning, i think this tank will R.I.P

i returned the tank to the store for replacement.

Using the iStick TC100W and also tested in the Cuboid ..

Thanks for your help
