New Kanger Box Mod- The Subox

[DCBD]

Is it still leaking otherwise? Found this link that might help out: Kanger Subtank Mini LEAKING | E-Cigarette Forum
There's that one tiny clear o-ring under the coil that can get dislodged - maybe it's keeping you from tightening the coil properly? And I'm reading more and more that sometimes you get janky o-rings with this atty. Sometimes with me, a thorough disassembly and cleaning fixes it - but I don't have this particular atty yet - just a bunch of similar ones. Sorry I couldn't help.

I've had several friends complain about leaking. In all cases it was a bad AFC. It's easy to test. Put in an old dead coil, fill the tank with water, turn the AFC to completely closed, assemble it tightly. Take the drip tip off and blow into the top hole. In the bad ones I tested, water came out in the spaces on both sides of the AFC adjuster ring. I swapped in a SS AFC and there was no leaking. If there's much vertical play in the AFC adjuster ring, it's likely the cause. If water comes out somewhere else, you'll know which o-ring to replace.

You can get a silicon sleeve from Sweet Vapes for like 5 bucks to protect it.

Thanks I ordered one in purple and some tank bands too. If I hadn't just put in a large DIY flavor order I would of gotten several colors, but I did order a hard side case for the mods to use on my vacation.

Ahhhh!!!! Quit it, now I have to have one, shinyitis attack I can't resist, I am going to have to order one when I get back from my trip. has anyone seen the new black Subox Nano? I saw black buttons... looked pretty nice, I think I need one of those too and a wrap for it someone please stop me

 

[gofishtx]

Hopefully I can put it on without screwing it up. I have to wonder how you'd paint or color the buttons so it wouldn't wear off? Would RIT dye work?

Maybe a really good nail polish/enamel with a coat of topcoat?

Nailpolish works great, just do two coats.

Also: I final got mine Murdered Out with black orings

I got 10 sets (which I didn't need all of them) so I am offering 6 sets to anyone who wants them. Just PM me with your address. I don't want anything but if you want to send me something back I won't protest.

Dude, I'll take a set! I'd love to do a full black out mod. PM Inbound! Let me know if there's anything you'd like off of FT the next time I order, and I'll snag it for you.

Well kids, I had to pull the wrap from my mood and tank. I've been getting strange flavors since I wrapped them and chalked it up to running my tank dry on Sunday. I tried 3 build in the RBA, a.5 VOCC, and multiple cleanings with alcohol and water last night trying to get rid of a nasty flavor that overpowered even my flavored juice.

It was the chemicals in the vinyl or whatever the wrap was made from being pulled through the AFC. I could smell it all over the tank but thought it was a result of a dry hit so I kept cleaning the tank. Then it dawned on me it started after I wrapped the tank and the vinyl was actually what smelled funny.

Peeled it, cleaned it, and it's back to normal. I can't blame the company making the wrap, it was cut well and made of pretty high quality material, it just seems whatever was in the vinyl was offgasing and I was drawing in the funky chemical through the tank.

Do jwraps have any odd vinyl smells to them?

Wow, sorry to hear that. First time I've ever heard somebody say that. I used to wrap my cartos and cigalikes all the time and never noticed anything funny - and my lips even directly touched the vinyl on the carto.

You don't like sleeves? I did see a black and green one that looked very similar.

There's always a chance that I'm crazy?! All I know it's that the wrap is gone and no more weird flavor. It tasted almost like a dry hit but without the cotton and my juice had zero flavor, all I could taste was that off flavor.

And of course I'd take a link to that sleeve if it's handy or you remember where you might've seen it. I definitely need something now because that wrap ate even more of my paint when I peeled it.

ETA: where did/do cartos draw air from? I run my Subtank on wide open AFC with the coil high and packed light for a fairly open draw.

Ugh, that doesn't sound right at all. What the heck is that guy using? Automotive vinyl isn't supposed to do that.

It has a silver backing with a crosshatch look, it's quality stuff as far as thickness and feel, strong as hell too.

That skin is schweeeet, where do I put my money?

Kawi green his home for me. I have no desire to own one, but the Kawi green REO is almost impossible for me to resist.

Sorry, click on the pic!

I fingered it out, I'm a maroon. He's out of the green/black, so I picked up the camo 3 color for now. Thanks again, you know where all the cool stuff is!

And how do I add a link to a picture?

People don't always get it, and I keep forgetting to NOT do it , but put up the image, click to select the image, then hit the link tool (that chain looking thing above) and put in the link. There were 3 or 4 other people selling it on eBay too, if you wanna see who has one. Just do a search for "Silicone Sleeve Subox Green".

Through a small hole in the 510.

Thus the groves at the top of most mods?

Yessir, you haven't ever used a 510 atomizer or cartomizer? Other than the airflow issue they do give off very good flavor. Especially a bridgeless atomizer.

You're dating yourself 54!! Hehe. I still have a carto punch lying around here somewhere. Lol
