New Kanger Box Mod- The Subox

[cigatron]

Nice. But how do you find it in the dark?

Nope, nope, not gonna comment on that one, but it's tempting.

I tried two other tanks and none would fire. All three tanks worked perfectly on a different mod so the problem has to be with the subox.

I would agree. One of your other mods must have pushed the 510 connector down too far. There's a description of this problem and how one person fixed it on Reddit. Essentially, you need to use a small screw driver to gently pull up on the 510 connector a little bit so that it will make contact again.

It does sound like the positive pin on the mod got pushed in. After seeing this post New Kanger Box Mod- The Subox | Page 113 | E-Cigarette Forum it might not be as easy as prying the pin up with a mini-screwdriver or a needle. It might require going into the mod and pushing that white insulator up, like @ephilbe had to do. Might it still be covered by warranty? Maybe you'll luck out and they replace it with the spring-loaded version.

It's no surprise people are reporting connection issues with the fixed pins when using other tanks.
The post on the new subtank that came with the subox is considerably longer and presses the pin down quite a bit further than even my other subtanks.

Thanks for that link. I could not raise the connector, though. I am waiting to hear from the vendor to see if anything can be done.

Play dumb and just tell them it stopped working. That way they won't try to weasel out and cry user error.

Here is the original post by @ephilbe . If you are anything like me it will drive you crazy until it is fixed or replaced. This may be where the problem is if nothing else works.

View attachment 467504 Looks as though the 510 center pin is insulated by the white rubber stuff. And it would appear mine is pushed down a bit. Would def account for some connection issues.

I finally broke out the new tank today that came with the subox (been using an older subtank on the mod since it arrived), wicked that rebuildable deck, and dang this thing's juicy. I like it!
A little revision on my wicking next time and I think it'll be just right.

I did the same fix, although the white insulator wasn't pushed down, but I was able to push up the 510 pin. But as soon as I screwed down the Subtank Mini, the 510 pin got pushed down again.

I judge connection by when you feel resistance while screwing the tank down. Once I pushed the grommet and pin up, reassembled, and installed tank multiple times, it made contact about 1/4 turn before flush. It has stayed the same since.

Wow, all of the subtank hooligans are in the thread @ 3am. I ♡ you guys!

I judge the connection by the OLED screen reading--as soon as the screen registers the resistance of the atomizer, I stop tightening. Over tightening is the worst thing one can do with those devices--it pushes the pin in and causes all kinds of problems, including leaking...

And that too.

Wow....I guess that makes me really self centered. Well, it's 3am somewhere.

Well, I don't know about self centered, but it certainly makes you up kinda late.

Enjoyed it thoroughly, very original flick.
