Kanger Subox

[Rattlehead]

Anyone here tried one of these? Seems like a nice kit at a good price. I don't really need another mini box mod as my Sigelei 30w works just fine, but thats never stopped me from buying more vape stuff before so no reason to stop now. lol I just ordered a black one. From the reviews I've seen everything looks pretty nice! Only downside that I can see is that the 510 connection isn't spring loaded. I'm not really worried about it though as I'll probably only use the new subtank on it.

Rattlehead let me know how you like it, i have the black edition sitting at my house. Waiting for when i get home again to test it out and do a video review.

Mine arrived Saturday. So far I love it! Its a beautiful mod at a very reasonable price, especially considering that it comes with the newest subtank.. Within the first day of ownership I accidentally knocked it off of my night stand and put a huge scratch down one side.  Luckily, its easy enough to touch up the black version with a sharpie. The finish seems decent enough, but without some kind of silicone cover or a wrap, I think some scratches can be expected with regular use.

As for performance, it works great! The display looks amazing, like it has some depth to it. The new OCC vertical coils are awesome. With the old design I was vaping @ 25 watts with the .5 ohm coils. The new design needs a little more power for best performance. Right now I'm running the new .5 ohm coil at 35 watts and its a great vape. Produces more vapor than the old design, and flavor is about the same. Also, the new tank has dual air flow holes, but honestly I can't tell any difference. I think air flow is limited by the inlet on the coil's connector. I haven't tried the rebuildable base yet.

Buttons are plastic, but they don't feel hollow or cheap. The magnetic battery door makes swapping batteries a snap and the rounded design makes it feel very good in the hand.

If I could change a few things to improve the mod, this is what it would be:

1) Switch to a spring loaded 510 connector. I haven't had any trouble with any of my tanks making contact, but I would just feel better if it were spring loaded.

2) Put a little "lip" at the bottom of the body where the battery cover sits to keep it from moving easily. It works fine as is, but I'd prefer if the cover didn't have any movement unless its being removed.

3) Have it hold voltage in memory after releasing the fire button. This isn't a big deal, but it would be nice to be able to see the voltage without holding the button.

 

Overall the Subox gets a thumbs up from me. I think its one of the best values for a nice looking do-it-all starter kit that I've seen to date. It comes with everything you need except for a battery and juice.. Can be set up for lung inhales, or mouth to lung depending on the coil. Great for beginners and experienced users alike.

Thanks for the in depth review, been thinking about getting this setup.
