Hey guys, I'm relatively new to vaping. I have an nebox vape, and I changed the cotton in the coil yesterday. It was working great all day, but now there is hardly any vapor being produced. It's filled and charged. What could the problem be? Do I have to change the cotton again? Is it something with the coil?
Barely getting any vapor?

Curiosity compels me to ask: how, exactly, did you change the cotton? That machine uses prefab heads. You did a rebuild? Perhaps you have too much cotton in it. That will choke it off so it won't wick, but it usually burns the cotton when that happens. And perhaps @Lessifer is right. maybe you damaged something pulling cotton.
I'm not familiar with that one, so was hitting it more from a general "what could possibly be wrong angle" but yeah, if they're heads that are not designed to be re-wicked, I'm curious now too.
Not impossible it has a RBA deck too, I reckon. It's a Kanger. I'm sure they tried to reuse an existing coil profile; to lower inventory carriage costs if nothing else.
Ty. I wasn't sure. I know a guy who has one. Looked like an interesting little machine. Not too sure it's down my alley, but it would be nice gear for a working man who wanted to carry it in the jeans pocket and not worry about breaking it.
No no no, get the Subox Kit over the Leakbox. I heard so many horror stories on this one.
I changed the cotton, and it works now. I don't know why it didn't work before though. Is it normal to change the cotton everyday?
I change it every two days with my Kanger RBA.
One day is a little extreme tbh
You just gotta make sure you don't put too little or too much cotton, gotta find your sweet spot

Make use of the screen to keep an eye on what is going on.
Your ohms was probably off and since you never mentioned it I guess you didn't notice.
I've had the low vapor issue several times. Usually for me it means the coil is flooded or that the battery is low. Or and I'm not saying it is or trying to insult you or anything. But for me personally sometimes it was just my vaping technique. Just how I was drawing on the pv.
I changed the cotton and dried out the coil and whatnot, and it worked fine after that. Today the same thing started happening. What does it mean if the coil is flooded, and how do I fix it? Does It just mean there's too much juice in the coil part?
It means the cotton is over saturated. What style coil are you using cause the solution is kinda different depending if it's like the 1.8 that comes with say an evod vs. an occ coil like in the subox
Ok sorry I see now your using an occ. So what I would try is rinsing the thing in hot water for awhile like a couple minutes and then what you want to do is take off the pin on the bottom be careful if you drop it you might never find it and then there's some air holes on the bottom I think they call them legs. You want to try your best to block those with your fingers then just blow into the top until you hear like a whistle as if air is moving through smooth and you don't hear any water coming out. Your cotton should look pretty dry but for added insurance I sometimes just dab the cotton with a que tip to soak up any excess liquid. Once your sure it's dry reinstall it. Now it's controversial but I don't prime the coil like they say to cause I always get flooding. I just make sure to let it sit for a bit and then I take primer puffs. Start off at say the 15w mark the lowest recommended it should say that on the coil. And work your way up. Worked for me.
Oh and the other thing it could be which I should have mentioned is the airflow. For me you gotta have that thing on the widest setting but if it is the airflow try leaving it open all the way and remove the base. Then take a que tip and rotate it inside the airflow base and you should see the thing soaked in juice when you pull out the que tip just do this until there's no more juice soaking up also take another que tip and run it through the chimney that middle tube they say not to get eliquid in. That's also a major culprit of bad airflow and low vapor.
Yeah I hope it helps. Let me know how it goes if you still have problems I'm open to providing more suggestions.
