Sorry for the orientation of the pics, been a while since I posted images to ECF.

I just received mine and been vaping on it for about 30 minutes. First impressions:
  • If you own any of the other two dripboxes, you'll know what you're in for
  • The RDA has spring loaded push buttons instead of screws, they hold the installed clapton coils in place, but I haven't tested with a smooth wire yet. And yes, stock placement of the coils is ridiculously low.

  • Mouthpiece/cap has ridges for better grip and easier adjusting
  • Barrel was near impossible to get off at first but now that they're juiced up, it's not an issue
  • Everything else about the RDA is the same as the Dripbox 160: screw-in deck, unusable MTL hole
  • Battery cap is different from the other two Dripbox squonkers, see pics.

  • Bottle and squonk assembly are the same as other Dripboxes, though the bottle is a tighter fit. The bottom ring where you slide the bottle out is a tad tight, the inner circumference is a bit too small for the grip ridges on the bottle, so it's a ..... too get the bottle out
  • I haven't tried any wire but the stock clapton, so I can't tell you how TC is
  • Same magnet door for the bottle, though the magnets on mine are weaker than the first Dripbox
All in all, for $26.95 plus shipping, it's a no-brainer buy. Been squonking for a couple of years now and affordable regulated squonking is nice to see.

It is regulated and any BF atty works with it, I switch up atties on it all the time.

Any more thoughts on the DB2 since you've had it a while?
I honestly don't use it all that much for a couple of reasons, battery life with a single 18650 at 70 watts is pretty bad, I get a couple of hours of vaping and notice the wattage dropping off. I have other single 18650 regulated squonkers I don't use for the same reason, like the Steamcrave Squonker. And second, the bottle is a PITA to remove and refill since the opening at the bottom of the mod is just a hair too small, the ridges on the bottle make the bottles diameter larger than the opening on the bottom. This last point seems like a design flaw rather than manufacturing tolerances.

For battery life, the DB160 is a better bet. For size, the original DB and the Pico Squeeze are better in this price range

MVS finally has the Dripbox 2 back in stock. All three colors (white, black, stainless) for $26.95. Got a stainless one coming my way.

Link to the stainless: Kangertech Dripbox 2 Starter Kit Stainless

Thank you for Posting this hazozita ! I just Ordered One.

BTW - I looked in my previous MVS Orders. I paid $28.95 for my DripBox 60w on 4-8-16.

LOL

Thanks for the input. Hopefully they have fixed that issue with the bottle fit. I guess we'll find out when the orders start arriving. I have a DB160 that is relegated to my desktop and for longer road trips and the DB60 is for around town. I'm hoping that the DB2 will be the squonker I've been looking for that I can use higher ohm builds in for better battery life with good performance. The DB60 seems to only perform well with a .2 ohm build for me and that also seems to be the case with my CV.

    SS DripBox 2 Shipped!

    Mine has as well. Should be in my hands on Thursday assuming USPS can get it from point A to point B without side trips to points C, D, E, F.....

    Also picked up a Kanger ROTA. Looked interesting, and was cheap enough to give it a shot before seeing some reviews.

    Mine Might be in my hands on Thursday. But Friday is More Likely.

    Looking forward to it. This will be my 1st Truly Regulated Squonker.
