- I had a few requests to make a video showing how I wick the RBA. I also show drilling one of the holes. Holes are 5/64" but 3/32" should be fine as well. This is the version 1 RBA, version 2 (RBA Plus) has holes.
The video above is a follow up to this video: • Kanger Subtank Mini Wi...

Top tip when drilling. Wrap a piece of masking tape around the barrel. This way you can mark where to drill with a pen, but the biggest benefit is it stops the drill slipping. Plus it catches some of the swarf.
Thanks for the video about the kanger mini sub tank. Just drilled my coil head and it works GREAT !!! Again thank you very much.
Gregory Curry You're welcome and thanks for the comment...
***** I hear what you're saying and I share some of that frustration. I've been using ecigs for over four years now and these things have come along way. They continue to evolve and improve. My opinion of the subtank is different than yours. To me, drilling the holes has made it damn near perfect. The deck is very easy to build coils on and after you drill the holes you're good to go... Most all products go through modification and I'm glad, at least in this case, Kanger took notice.
Thanks for making this I will send them over from my channel when they ask!
The Don Thanks Don. I actually mentioned you in this video here: th-cam.com/video/LbS9XoL3uRo/w-d-xo.html
and thanks to you as well for making your video...
Cool!
I didn't even use a standard drill bit. I pre drilled a small hole using the tip of a "cone carbide burr" with my Dremel. Then I finished it off with a "cone diamond burr" to both polish the edge and widen the hole as I pushed it through.
Come carbide burr worked great. Needle tip so all u need is light pressure until u get enough of a indentation to apply more pressure. I found its a lot harder with the drill bit. Kept wanting to move all over the place....and since the drill bit was thicker I had to apply more force.
Works better than ever now, wish I did this sooner ! Thanks & Vape On !
Mr VaEHp You're welcome and Happy Vaping back to ya!!!
This works amazing I really had my doubts at first but I can crank my watts up hard core and still no dry hits after this mod. And before I could maybe go a day low watts thank you so much i loved this tank before but now I think this is my girl till the end.
jasontd1984 Couldn't agree with you more, I see myself using the kanger for a very long time to come. When I find something that works I stick with it. Before this I was using the KGO batteries and the Boge 2.0 carts for a good two or three years... But, it's even better now and I couldn't be happier...
Dude it's Bob. Thanks Bob!
capoman1 You're welcome...
Pre-drill the hole with the smallest drill bit u have. That's ur guide. It'll help hold the larger drill bit in place. Then drill with the larger but u want to use as the diameter for your holes.
I moved up in increments with drill bit sizes to avoid issues as much as possible.
+Dereck Dunn Excellent advice.
Excellent how too and cures the older version rba deck in literally a minute 👍
+Todd007tl Thanks for the comment...
This works, I did the same thing but I did a 9/16 (about twice the bore in this video) hole and beefed up the cotton a bit. The RBA now resembles the disposable crashes and produces much better flavor. Also, I can vape high vg liquids without the fear of a dry hit. Vape on
+Thereon Colosa Thanks for the feedback, happy vaping...
Perfect I drilled my holes closer to the bottom right before they got into the threading
GREAT video, much appreciated. This will help me tremendously.
Greenguy67 Thanks for the comment...
?+rhinsen I seem to be getting low flavor hits. Would drilling these holes help that? Any other solutions too?
Screech Powers Your best bet for an answer to that is here: www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/
I drilled much bigger holes than yours on my old subtank mini rba deck (just a tad smaller than the holes in the V2 rba deck).. Performance is identical to the V2 rba deck. No flooding or gurgling whatsoever. I'm using 100% vg with about 10% DW.
I actually prefer this to the V2 rba deck because you don't need the screwdriver when rewicking (though you do the screwdriver when recoiling). Highly recommend this modification. Great video.
+deep stick You're welcome and glad that is working for you. The reason I went with smaller holes is because the channel grooves are letting juice in as well and I didn't want to over do it and let in too much juice. Mine works perfect as well which I think proves that the holes size is not super critical as long as you don't go crazy big or small. Thanks for the comment...
saved me few bugs , thanks bro
+4w0ken Welcome, thanks for the comment...
Nice one buddy!
+I'm Botman Thank you...
Do you use 3 piece's of 32awg wire twisted to make the coil sorry if it a silly question.I wood like to get the build spot on as it is one of the best i have saw.
My wife got me that same drill on fathers day... Dang good, but it does slip like that lol. I got my corated on my arm with it...
the new rba got holes in them this is outdated, but for the old ones cool
Your bit would get better bite and wouldn't slip if you used cutting oil and a punch. Good video!
Joshua Bauer Thanks for the comment and advice...
I would prefer the screw cylinder as i am unable to get the set screw out. It in there way too tight and i am in danger of gouging out the screw head. but great video thanks
+Rita Bryant Thanks for the comment...
Have you tried putting the wick through the holes just like the OCC coils?
So that it runs right through the RBA.
Ni5ei No, haven't tried anything else but what is in the video. That is what is working for me.
+Craig Schultz Yes you're right. I first thought it was going through the holes but it's not. Tried it myself with my RBA and like you said, it doesn't wick well.
Thanks for responding back like your innovation in trying something different Vape on my friend vapor
wish you would have used it can't subscribe until I see full demonstration good idea vape on
+Robert Mitchum I can tell you this, I have the newer version 2 with the holes and this one that has the holes I drilled and I can tell you that I absolutely see no difference in the vapor experience between the two. Trust me, it works... Happy vaping!!
Hello I have subtank mini v2 what mods should I do to do it better????
+petet95678 It should be good to go as is. The holes were the only mod I performed on the version one and the version 2 has them so you're all set... Happy Vaping!!
great video but what size do you drill the holes?
+Paul Gibson Thanks, holes are 5/64". The first video gives more detail on size and location, th-cam.com/video/LbS9XoL3uRo/w-d-xo.html&lc=z13nzj3wnqyqfj43s22ivzsjrwyevn5uh
+rhinsen what size hole in mm thanks
Start with 2mm hole. Increase to 3mm size if needed.
UFO u have any issues with flooding
killacabb No issues for me with flooding but if you do experience flooding then don't pull the wicks away from the sides where the holes are (the video shows me pulling the wicks away from the holes, don't do this)...
It keeps flashing 0.0 ohm & can't get any smoke. I made this twice perfectly with coil not touching together or on base. Please help
I don't know if this is your problem but this has happened to me. The top of the coil was sticking up a tad to much and when I screwed the base top on it was hitting the coil and shorting out. Hope that works for you, if not, then check the stock premade coil to see if that works. Maybe the problem is with your mod, I don't know for sure... Good luck and let me know if you find the cause of the problem.
rhinsen thanks very much for your suggestion. right now I'm using the old burnt occ till I can visit my vape shop & mod works fine. I got this rba with my subox mini kit & I think it's defected. will update you on this. appreciate your help.
Awesome, glad you got it working. Just to add, I get a much better vape when I twist 3 wires together using a drill. Each individual wire is 32 gauge and with the 3 of them twisted together the wire equals to about a 28 gauge wire. I tried the single 28 gauge wire by itself and it is not nearly as good as the twisted wire coil. Just my experience, good luck to you... Happy Vaping!
I've had that problem. Also, sometimes the screw comes loose and the end of the coil slips through and shorts against the sides, so it might work fine for a while then suddenly give you this problem. If the problem appears outta nowhere, it's more likely to be this
works grate. but you can not put the kanger subtank on it side.. all the liquid will run out of the air hole.
eddie beaty No doubt with that. When I was flying to KC I had my ecig stuff in my bag in the overhead and it was a mess. The good thing was I had everything in a zip lock bag so the juice was contained by my iStick battery was screwed...
+eddie beaty If you close off the airflow when placing it on it's side is that enough to prevent it? Or had you tried that already?
+eddie beaty So you don't place it gently like in the video?
hi thnx for your video but can you tell me what the diameter of hole you make in rba
+Muhammad Mare'i You're welcome, holes are 5/64" but 3/32" should be fine as well. Start with small drill bit and work up to final size.
can you tell me what's mm
and thnx for your reply
+Muhammad Mare'i 2mm diameter
+rhinsen thnx you
+Muhammad Mare'i You are welcome...
no leaking so far?
No leaking for me. In the past when I was experimenting with different wick lengths I would get some leaking on certain builds but using the wicking example in the video I never get leaks, never. Also, I always keep the tank upright as laying it down will eventually cause it to leak. Happy vaping!!
+rhinsen thanks for the trick... i'll try it
These kangertech subtank coils including the "occ" throwaways have been an utter disappointment. The list of shortcomings is endless bottom line these were not ready for the vaping market. Why are there numerous videos on how to fix them? Because there garbage. If they were adequate they would not have completely redesigned the coils in the new version. We all who purchased the old coils should get refunds or at the least the newly designed coils I appreciate and so should kangertech the people posting the fixes on you tube for the suckers who bought them.
Thanks for not showing the wicking. That's why I gave you a thumbs down.
Thanks for the feedback...
rhinsen No problem, sorry, not trying to be a turd but you did mention wicking in the title so I expected to see you actually wick it.
No worries but in my defense, I think the video shows how to position the wick. The video is more about how to prevent dry hits by drilling the holes to let more juice in.
