    Thanks guys... The recommended kanger kit does seem to have issues re leaking - did you have any problems? The iStick looks good also... Although I did read a review from the kanger kit saying they upgraded from the iStick to the kanger and it was awesome... His probably didn't leak though!

    My subtank leaks (via the airholes from what I can tell) every so often.

    No idea why.

    For example, yesterday morning, I got my hands covered in eliquid on the way to work.
    Got home, opened it, refilled the tank, it's not leaked since.......

    Sometimes if you just clean the tank out it stops this, or use the RBA deck and stuff it with cotton.

    Honestly though mine leaks now and then whatever I do, you can buy replacement o rings for them too.

    It happens occasionally, it will always leak if you run the liquid down too low, like way below the atty head soak holes low, and occasionally you'll get an atty head that doesn't seat properly.

    Either way it's always more of a weep than a leak when it dose happen so not the end of the world.

    Quick fix is to take it apart, remove atty head, run base with air holes under a hot tap, dry inside and out, refit atty head or replace, top of with liquid and carry on. All in all a 3 minute job

    I've never had a leak on my Subtank, and I only use the RBA section. Lemo Drop occasionally pisses out it's entire contents for no apparent reason though :blah:

    ....Unless you use one with a juice well and don't hold it upright :).

    Due to budget and buying local, I went for the eLeaf iStick with iSub. Some popping but I don't mind.[​IMG]

    Total cost of £56

    Hey guys,

    I just started vaping last week, I'm using the Eleaf iStickTC40W with the Olympian tank.

    Now I'm confused, as everyone who I know who vapes gets this awesome cloud when they do it. Is there something I'm missing as mine doesn't do that...

    I've tried changing settings etc but just can't get it. Anyone out there who can help?

    Cheers!

    Just ordered a black Cthulhu V2, looking forward to getting it next week sometime. Was a toss between this and the new Youde Bellus but the fact it came out in black tipped the scales in favour of the cthulhu

    Just got one of the new Efest 3000mah batteries, link here. It's still 35A discharge. Done a whole subtank mini tank (4.5ml off the top of my head) and the battery indicator hasn't even come off full. That's at 32 watts.

    Hello,

    My partner is after a decent vaping set up.

    She is a smoker and has been trying very hard to quit.

    Often she is caught out at the weekend, out socialising etc.

    Would anyone be willing to recommend something for her?

    She would like the option of nicotine.

    Sorry for not searching but there are almost a thousand posts and I'm a non-smoker/vaper.

    Thanks.

    I've spent an hour trying to get the chimney off my subtank rba.

    Angry is not the word......my thumbs are covered in cuts and it will not budge.
    I've tried all the suggestions from Google and it's stuck fast.
    I've rebuilt an OCC head just so I can vape in the meantime and it's not the best.

    /rant

    Got it done, just broke out the pliers and gripped the thread (which I really did not want to do).

    Anger subsided, but my thumbs are still killing me :)

    Tank & mod kit.
    https://www.ukecigstore.com/kanger-subox-mini-kit.html £55

    Battery, I think 3 is a good amount to have.
    https://www.ukecigstore.com/vaping-outlaws-vape-cell-18650-22a-2500mah-battery.html £8

    Extra coils, each 1 should last at least a week of heavy vaping so much longer if only casual.
    https://www.ukecigstore.com/kanger-subtank-vertical-occ-coils-5pack.html £12

    Charger.
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/XTAR-Premiu...sr=8-4&keywords=18650+lithium+battery+charger £17


    I chose this setup because it gives a very satisfying vape, easily good enough to keep you off the smokes & gradually reduce nicotine addiction until it's just a silly habit to kick, I'm at that stage now of it just being a silly habit to kick but I still enjoy it.


    Juice, so many flavours to choose from so whatever appeals, can be expensive buying retail juice if you vape a lot, if it's just occasional like nights out it'll work out cheap, I make my own & it works out far cheaper which is good for heavy vaping.

    Can be a stubborn git to remove.
    I use a towel to help grip the thread when unscrewing the chimney if it's hard to get off.
