I've been vaping with a spinner for one year. I'm ready to up my experience so I bought the Kanger Topbox Mini kit. I actually meant to get the Subox Mini, but so far I'm happy with my error. I ordered an extra atomizer tank as well. The replacement tank recommended was the Subtank Mini. The Topbox Mini settings require entering what material the coil is made of. The choices are Ni/Ti/Ss/NiCr (NiCr referring to Kanthal). The Topbox kit heads are all marked as such making it easy to know which setting to use. The Subox atomizer heads included are not marked this way, only marked as 0.5 and 1.2 Ohm. I'm want to use the Occ head included with the Subtank Mini atomizer, but am unsure of which setting to enter for it on my Topbox.

I have not played with that mod, but I am pretty sure that you want to change the mod to wattage mode instead of temperature mode when using the OCC coils.

After priming an OCC coil I would fire it at 10w and slowly increase the wattage untl you find the wattage that works for you.

I hope that helps

As P Busardo amusingly showed us with his 'shouting beaver' moment - Kanger have fast lost the plot with all these boxes and tanks and coils.
Do Kanger know how totally mad this is?
It's a wonder anyone can understand. :eek:

Anyway... unless I am completely wrong, coils marked with just the resistance will be Kanthal. You vape them in standard power/watt mode

@suprtrkr has called it right.

Yeah haha, I took a few safety measures for my 200W box and all..

Only thing I don't understand about Kangertech is their english translation. LOL

They actually wrote that vaping is not a smoking cessation device in their manual.

Chinglish aside, many retailers and manufacturers are putting the "not a smoking cessation device" disclaimer out there due to varying regulations and future regulations by various governments throughout the world.

Believe me, manufacturers and sellers would love to tout ecigs, mods, etc. as anti-smoking devices.

They actually wrote:

Don't use too much the electronic cigarette, more not than traditionnal cigarette,
the electronic cigarette is not a smoking cessation device.

Quality work gone into that. :p

Ask Yoda.

"Use your e-cigarette too much, do not. Yes, hmmm. For stopping smoking your e-cigarette is not. "

+1. The two coils you describe are Kanthal wire and should be run in wattage mode. BTW, NiCr is Nichrome, not Kanthal.

From what I understand the OCCs all have the red o ring which according to Kanger means that they are Nichrome wire.

What I don't understand is.. Nichrome just for wattage mode? Because according to Kanger the KboxTC75 supposedly does Nichrome in TC too but I wouldn't take the chance.

Also Kanger has stated that the Claptons are Kanthal.

According to this chart I'm just sticking with Nickle and SS for TC. I'm just as confused as everyone else by what kanger is doing! :confused:

Kanger says they can use NiCr in TC mode.

And they write, "Please Don't Smoke the Topbox too often".
