So I just replaced the glass on my subtank mini.. For some reason its leaking thru the air holes.. And its leaking pretty heavy.. Any ideas why?

Are you sure the gasket on the coil is not broken or missing??
Mine leaked like your describing and to my horror it didn't have a coil gasket on it..l cleaned the base and especially where the coil gasket seats with a q-tip and a little alcohol and installed a new coil making sure it had that gasket in place...
I would think the buildable deck and a stock coil would have that same gasket...anyway, no more leaks!

Doesnt seem broken to me?
No it doesn't at that...are the red rings on the tank in good shape? And have you tried a new coil?

Yeah, that was the gasket that was missing on mine..I think you found the answer!...

Damn that was my favorite coil too, how do I prevent that from happening? Did i screw the coil on too tight?
I don't think so..I mean I screw my coils down tight too...
Have you tried a new coil yet?

Testing it right now.. Seems like i always find a problem with my tanks
Do you think it can possibly be my o ring?
Don't know for sure..I'd make sure all o-rings and gaskets are in good shape.. And make sure they make a good seal..other than that I don't know what else it could be...

Damn, im probably gonna hit up my vape shop tomorrow and see what they say.. Got this as a birthday gift not even a week old yet and its giving me problems
Sounds like a plan..you do have another tank you can vape in the meantime, right?...

I have the original ego one mega.. But i hate it lol.
BTW, why did you have to replace the glass? Did you drop it?
sent from my XT1080 via Tapatalk
Noo. I had it in my pocket, took it out and was wondering why there was juice all over, was looking around the tank and noticed it was cracked
OK..but why did it crack?
What I'm thinking is maybe the frame got bent out-of-round somehow..

Possibly, im still thinking on how it cracked, never banged it anywhere..
See what your shop says..
If I knew what mod your using I could possibly recommend a better tank...I only use the Mini on the low powered Provari.. But use way better subtanks on my other mods..
In any case I do wish you good luck with the leak in your Mini..wish I could've helped more..

Yeah, thanks for the help. Hopefully I can switch it out.. Aiming for the aspire atlantis..
Not even a damn week old yet

Yeah I like the Atlantis, but I like the Maganus, Starre and Arctic tanks alot more..
I use these tanks with the dual .2-.25 coils between 55-65w...blows good clouds and I get 2-3 weeks on a coil before needing replaced...they also have good airflow and wick fast, even with the VG max juice I use..
Anyway good luck and vape safe

Thats whats wrong with them mine has leaked in some form from the begining now its unusable Suks i liked it tasted good
You're right..indeed that's what's wrong with them..I got so frustrated with my STM leaking I threw it in the garbage..recently got the Crown to replace it and it's absolutely the best subtank I've ever had the pleasure to vape.It blows the subtank mini away with superb flavor and awesome clouds thanks to the SS/Japanese cotton coil. And the best part is no leaks and it fills from the top.. it's everything the subtank mini isn't, lol

You Would Think they would offer a Fix I for one will never buy Kanger Tech or Recommend. To Bad Shame on Kanger
Same thing happened to my Subtank. I changed the seal and same problem. Took it apart and switched out the glass, problem solved.
