Wrap it on a 3mm mandrel like in the video at 8:57
Do it like he does and I promise you it wont leak.

So I set up the new unit last night and used it for most of the evening with the Ni coil.
Initially the coil read 0.33 ohms. But once it a had been fired a couple of times, I relocked the resistance and it was reading 0.21. Higher than the specified 0.15 ohms but seems Ok.
Gradually increased wattage and temp settings over an hour or so, upto 45W and 450F. Seemed to be vaping reasonably well at these settings and no leaks. I do feel that there is too much of a delay getting up to temperature, probably because the TC is poorly implemented and cannot handle high initial power and still limit temperature. I'm a bit worried about setting the wattage any higher just now though,due to the issues I had with the first device.
So I was reasonably happy with it until I re-filled it this morning, and 5 minutes later it was leaking all over the kitchen counter. Coil and base were screwed in tightly, but the coil just seems to flood too easily. I have seen a video online where the guy recommends only filling to 50% to avoid leaking which sort of defeats the whole purpose of the device. Other recommendation is to fire it upside down after filling which I will try next time.
It's very frustrating when you see reviewers stating "used this for two weeks and no leaks" and others running at really high settings with no issues, and stating that TC works as it should which is clearly not the case.
I'm willing to perservere with this as a really like the form factor, but certainly not the perfect device
Using RBA now with Nickel build at 0.1 ohms. followed video above and no leaks so far. tighter draw than the stock coil, but better flavour. Will see how it goes.
Watched this video from the same guy. Pretty damming on the temperature control.
TC test @29 mins

Now that the video has been watched in its entirety, I applaud Daniel for being the only REVIEWER out of the at least 25 or more who have posted reviews on this device to point out that the TC Mode on this device is an almost total failure. I am disappointed and appalled that he did not point out that this condition is DANGEROUS in the hands of an inexperienced user and deserves nothing less than an immediate cessation of manufacturing, an recall of all malfunctioning devices, and a public apology by Kangertech for rushing to market with a device without an adequate QC Program in place.
I feel that Kangertech rushing this unsafe device to market in this manner will unduely expose uneducated users to potential health risks from ingesting chemicals produced by overheated coils and greatly adversely affect the vaping communities fight with legislators all over the world for the unregulated availability of these devices to remain on the market.
When a manufacturer with the worldwide reputation of Kangertech releases an unsafe product to market in this manner with out an immediate recall, it will only provide the FDA, World Health Organizations and Legislators around the world with the ammunition they need to ban the availability of these devices altogether!
As I said in other thread, I believe a fix is in the works right now. I have the mod I ordered two days after this one backordered until the end of the month right now. That isn't just because they are selling so many of a very controversial and problem plagued mod. Hopefully it will be a two to three week delay and working units will arrive to a location near you. It is too big of a screw-up for them not to fix it immediately.I'm with you all the way on this one mate, gonna contact my vendor for a refund as this thing is not fit for purpose. I honestly can't believe they would release a product advertised as temperature protected and not actually implement the protection part. I dont want to recreate the results by vaping my tank dry and ending up with an oxidised ti coil!
For us early adopters though I don't see any course of action other than returning the devices as there is no firmware upgradability. What will you do Tpat591?
They will have to. Once this is documented as not user error, they will have no choice but to stand behind it. They know what they did.Not sure what to do with mine. Might keep it for non TC use, maybe With the new Clapton coils when they are out.
Don't expect Kangertech to replace the existing units though.
can someone do a cotton burn test with this device with nickel preferably, or ti at 420°F full wattage.. then post sum pics up before and after of the coil.

I've just had this reply from the vendor I emailed over the weekend and it seems to be a pretty typical response to test the water so to speak. I'm gonna throw everything I've got in an email now and hope that they have the sense to question kanger as it appears they know nothing of the issues YET!
Hi I am sorry to hear you are having issues with this, are you using the Kanger NI200 coils or are you building your own coils in the RBA section? Can you notice the resistance fluctuating? Please provide me with as much information as possible so I can assist you.

Hi David
I hope you will be able to help me, I'm experiencing some issues with the Nebox I received this week. It would appear to have some sort of defect in the software that is preventing the temperature control from working properly. I've experienced some rather concerning results when using the nebox with both ni200 and titanium regarding the temperature accuracy and indeed the ability of the mod to regulate the temperature correctly and has resulted in some very unpleasant dry hits and on one occasion Ti02 has formed on a titanium coil. As you are aware this is negating the entire point of temperature control. There are a number of reports on various forums of this occurring and I feel that Kangertech will need contacting about this matter to see if they are aware and if so what they intend to do about it. I've included a link to a review that has just come to light showing some of the issues I've described.
Any info I get back or find on the web I will post back here or should we be starting a dedicated thread so that we don't get into a mess like the vtc thread?
