Big Disappointment. Subox Nano has NO TC! Besides no RBA liks Subox Mini.

For months now I was keeping my eye out for a deal on the Kanger subox Mini to order for my first adjustable sub ohm with Temperature Control For awhile now I had decided on the Kanger subox Mini - it was Temperature Control Capable and came with a rebuildable atomizer. Only issue I wasn't able to find them on sale for Christmas. Then one day I found a Subox NANO on GearBest for $32.66. So I figure no RBA, no big deal, fasttech sells RBAs for the Nano pretty cheap so I pulled the trigger.

Well 42 days later after I made the order and after Christmas it finally arrived Those Bastitches at GearBest sat on the package for SIX DAYS (!) before sending it out. Further I live of the West Coast in LA County and GearBest used "NORDIC" Swedish Mail Carrier. So instead on Sending the Package East to California, the .....'s sent it West through Siberia! What Dip $hits.

So after two weeks of using the Nichrome Atomizer at .5 ohm's I decided to use the Ni200 TC atomizer. I look around in the instructionatomizer? There was nothing on adjusting the Temperature.

Well come to find out after some research on Google the Nano does not Support Temperature Control at all. If your Device does not Support TC then why does Kanger Tech supply a 1.5Ω Ni200 Atomizer; wouldn't that imply the devolved. I would rather have another .5Ω Nichrome atomizer.

Other than that the Nano does a Great Job and the higher AMPs really helps the device to hit.

I dont get it. The Subox mini doesnt support temp control either....

User error IMO- do your due diligence before you put down your hard earned money for cripes sake!!! AFAIK the Subox Mini isn't TC either, so...

The Topbox series supports TC, but that just dropped. I think OP may be confused, or may have gotten duped by GB.

sorry but I dont think its GBs fault. I have been looking at the subox option for a new vaper friend and have never seen either the mini or the nano advertised as having TC by gearbest (or anyone else for that matter...).

Also, Kanger dont, and never have made a 1.5ohm Ni200 head. Possibly a typo (shjould be 0.15). It may be that one was mistakenly included by Kanger I guess but seems a bit odd...

There is the Platinum series that has TC

Kanger Kbox Mini Platinum | PVS & Mods | VaporBeast

IIRC there is now a 70w version

Huh.... We wholesale the Subox Nano and I don't ever recall seeing it with either a nichrome coil or a Ni200. And if there were a Ni200 coil, it would not be at 1.5ohm either; way too high for nickel. And pretty sure the 0.5ohm isn't nichrome either, but are kanthal wire instead. What exactly did you buy? Did you check to see if it was authentic?

Kanthal, Nichrome; it's just all symantecs with regular resistance wire.

The Subox at the time was Advertised, GearBest, as TC and with a 1.5 Ni200 Coil... Which now makes little sense. I thought all the Subox models had the same capabilities - but I guess you have to read the small writing. But at $32.66 I can't complain.

Next purchase will probably be a VTC.

But now Kanger has the Topbox which is the improved Subox.

That was the absolute last time I order from GearBest, even though it's free shipping. 42 day delivery time lost my business. Sending the package Eastward would have helped.

Should have done my due dilidence in reviewing the product, totally my fault. That I will except totally.

Caveat Emptor

Thanks for all of your responses.
