Sub tank mini leaking

I have the subox mini. The tank is starting to leak from air vents and between the air vent turn wheel. The oring does not look damaged from what I see. It is snug tight to me. I saw a thread somewhere but can't find it. It was great Til beginning of this week. I don't think I've had it a month yet. And I rotate between my sub tank mini and my Atlantis. My Atlantis does not leak at all.

My Mini started leaking from the air slots too using the supplied rebuildable deck..seems I didn't have enough cotton in my build..I installed a new thicker cotton wick and made sure those juice inlets were covered good with the cotton..It did the trick! No more leaks..
Hope this helps

I wasn't using rebuild able just the .5 and the 1.5 coil. I gotta keep it standing. If it's in my pocket and tilts slightly u can see wetness around the turn dial. If u turn dial to a different hole u see the hole drenched

Check the glass, it might be distorted or uneven bottom. You can try the other one, or get 800 grit wet sane paper and give the bottom of the glass a few passes and even it out...

Is the coil gasket in good shape? Is the coil screwed down tightly in the base?
About the only way I can think of as to why it leaks ...good luck with it!

I double checked everything and everything is snug not overly tight

I would think its leaking at the coil in the base that leads to the air slots.. If the o-ring was leaking on the base itself I would think juice would show up on the outside of the base above the airslots ..I was just looking at mine trying to figure out what would make it leak juice into the air passages..sorta out of ideas..lol
