I never close the air control when not using it. What mod you choose depends on what you prefer. Do you like built it batteries or replaceable batteries? What watts do you plan to use, or need? What brand do you prefer? There are so many choices its enough to drive someone crazy. My favorite tank is the Kanger Subtank Mini, but other people will recommend something else.

I don't know for sure because I don't have one to take apart, but I have heard rumors that the RX200 has 2 batteries in parallel, and 1 in series, which would explain how a RX 2/3 works. A different chipset would be needed for 2 batteries in series compared to 3 batteries in series, because the supplied voltage is different. Unless something is built into the covers to compensate for the different voltage. It is also possible they do something that we have not considered yet. As to using TC the extra power needed to operate the TC might offset any power saved by reducing the watts, I don't notice a difference in battery life either.

The 50 pack I got from slow fastech mostly were good ones so far, I have only used 2 boxes so far, and have found 1 with bad threads, the rest were good. I figure 9 out of 10 good coils isn't bad for the price.

Its a bit off subject, but I believe steam engine needs to update some of their data. I can't find any of my TC mods in the mod range section, also the battery drain section should give the option of dual or triple battery choice, I have found if I substitute 7V for 3.5V input voltage it makes a big difference on battery drain. At 100w it only pulls 15.87A from the batteries, but will output 22.36A to the coil when using a .2 coil. makes me feel better about dual batteries in series. Previously I only considered output amps and not input amps, which are different using a regulated mod. I don't know why I'm figuring out high wattage drain on the battery, because I use TC if the mod is TC capable, and except for the initial surge the watts vary so much.

And I thought that was in my pocket, you are better than I thought you were.

Now I see what you are talking about, you are referring to the drain on the battery not what goes to the coil. But doesn't that change depending on whether the battery is fully charged or almost drained. the wattage stays the same but not the amps when the battery gets low. it seems to me when the voltage drops more amps are needed. Unless a constant voltage is supplied to the board. A charged battery runs 4 - 4.2V most of the batteries I have will go down to 3.5V before needing a charge that's a .7V difference.

Just to double check it I switched my 120w to power mode, and set it to 75w with a .51 coil when I hit the fire button it read 6.22V now I have to change the coil because I think I fried it, needed changing anyway.

I got my info from steam engine to start with A .5 coil at 75w will supply 6.12V and 12.25A to the coil A .2 coil at 75w will supply 3.87V and 19.36A to the coil that's using 90% efficiency I used the battery drain tab, the way I read it a lower resistance coil draws more amps at the same watts I like discussions like this, it makes me use my 2 brain cells.

The more the merrier Bebop, as to the problem with the Kbox nano, sometimes Kangers are weird, sometimes once a coil gets locked in it stays there until you remove the tank and hold the fire button until the ohms starts to flash. at least that's been my fix. Also make sure the center pin on the mod is clean, and free of juice, or you might get a bad reading.

Kanger makes a lot of different coils for that tank, my advice would be to use the Nichrome coils until you get to know more about what you are doing. And remember you can always come back here for more advice.

You may have burned the coil up, try a different coil. Did you get a manual with it? you should be able to change modes by hitting the power button 3 times real fast.

The reason its spitting juice is because it is running too hot. It is a Nichrome coil, use watt mode if your mod doesn't have a NiCr mode. use 20 - 30 watts to start with.

If you are using a .5 coil it is not a Ni200 coil, they are .15 ohms you may be running a Nichrome coil or a Clapton coil, which has to be run in power mode. what color grommet is on the coil? red is Nichrome, black is Clapton, pink is SS, and blue is Ni200.

Yep that's a Kbox Nano. What coil are you using? I don't have a Kbox Nano TC, but I do have a lot of Kanger TC mods. I run between 350f and 380f depending on the juice. I hope that helps.

They will have to raise future prices to make up for the loss now, its just a part of doing business. I will absolutely not email a picture of my photo ID, I already have a supply of stuff that will last me for years, and can wait. Maybe after I run out I will quit vaping.

Most people with variable wattage mods never use max watts, For safety reasons I don't use a coil that will draw more than 20A from the battery at max watts, that's the reason I recommended no lower than .2 ohms. a .2 coil at 75w will draw about 20A from the battery. With the dual battery mods I have the batteries are in series, so even though there are 2 of them the amps stay the same, at 160w with a .2 coil it will pull about 39A from the batteries, which is not safe in my opinion. Its just my way of thinking.

Using a 75w mod, with a subtank mini using the RBA with a .5 coil I get 2 tanks with a LG HG2 battery, using the dual battery 160w I usually get 4 - 5 tanks between charges. It is said that if you don't drain the battery completely between charges they will last longer. I change the battery when the indicator gets down to a single bar, and don't wait until the battery indicator starts to flash. But that's me.

I'm using some LG HG2 batteries that are well over a year old, and they are still going strong. I have one battery that I know is over 2 years old, and is still a good battery. The brown LG HG2 batteries are 3000mAh batteries, and are rated at 20A, I run them in all my mods even in my 160w mod. I don't run high wattage, and they work good and last longer. The max your Pico will put out is 60w so they would be a safe battery to use. I guess your Pico is 75w, should still be safe, unless you run a coil below .2 ohms.

Using 2 different tanks means there are variables, even when you use the same coil there is a issue of airflow, which is important. Also different flavors need different power levels, even when you use the same PG/VG ratios. If you use different PG/VG ratios the power needed is a lot different,

I can't find the specs for the dripbox, but I have a Kanger 160w Kbox, which probably uses the same chip. The batteries are in series, which ups the volts to 7.4 (8.4 for fully charged batteries). In TC mode it will fire a coil down to .05 ohms, in power mode it will fire down to .1 ohm, if your coil is built below this the mod will not fire. I believe the dripbox stock coil is .25, which means it uses 2 .5 coils in parallel. You will eventually settle on a coil that meets your needs, and preferences.

Back in the 80s I got a degree in electronics (most of it I forgot) we were taught that at higher power the tubes have much less distortion. also that's why TV and radio stations still use tubes, when a transmitter puts out 100,000 plus watts integrated circuits can't handle it, but that was back in the 80s I suspect technology has come a long way since then. Sorry about high jacking the thread.

I'm not a musician, but I have been told that amps with vacuum tubes sound better, don't know if it is true or not.

Once the government does something its hard for them to admit that they made a mistake, and undo it. The best known example is the 18th amendment (prohibition), which had to be undone by the 21st amendment, the only Constitutional amendment ever repealed. I don't look for Congress to do anything because the current POTUS will probably veto it anyway. Just my opinion. If it were not for the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, passed in 2009 the FDA would not have any control over tobacco products, and we would not have these new FDA regulations.

I was using a sonic cleaner for speed steeping, but the labels didn't survive very well. Now I just loosen the cap, and put them on the vent of my printer for a few hours, the air coming out of the vent is about 130f. It works for me.
