I am thinking about getting one but I'm afraid of the plastic tank. I'd like some thoughts about that from people who have used it.

I don't own one, just tried one out at the shop. It seems pretty solid. Works like a dream too from what I can tell. I went with a subtank mini though, I couldn't justify not using the batteries I've already spent money on by getting one of those.
They are a little awkward to use though. I'd probably wind up getting one of those long pipe style drip tips for it. And the capacity. 10ml. It would be hard to beat that and retain the nebox's relatively small size.

If you do get one, do not let the tank get low, its possible for it to fail temp protection and incinerate the wick and coil and if this happens with a nickel or titanium coil you could end up with a nice lungfull of nasty oxide. If you use in on vw only then its probably safe(ish).

And here: Follow up to the review of the NEBOX showing TC failing dangerously on an empty tank. DJLsb Vapes addresses the concern that his probe was the cause. • /r/electronic_cigarette
Theres a reason its mentioned in my sig, it shouldnt be on the market.
Personally id pass on anything with a plastic tank

I want to love the nebox, but it just seems a bit comically oversized ?
is my latest stealth ecig... I love it and all, but one thing I didnt count on was it kind of looks like I am drinking from a hip flask hehe... the nebox in my mind is a lot more hip flask shaped....
sounds daft but I am a million times more scared of a bartender thinking I am taking sips from a hip flask than I am being busted for vaping
... one outcome the bartender reaches under bar for baseball bat, the other they say no vaping please.

Part of the reason I want one is because I can use the occ above ohm coils in it. I have the nano And I don't want to have to buy yet another set of coils.
So I have had the NEBOX for about a week. I have used it exclusively for that time. I am using the RBA head for it and experienced no leaks so far. I am not really a fan of TC and I have not used on this tank so I cannot speak to that.
This tank does have it's compromises. The plastic Tank. My ADV is a borderline tank cracker. It has a hint of cinnamon in it. I have had good luck with other plastic tanks I have ran it in, and so far so good, but we shall see. I am a little bummed that I cannot run my other citrus and cinnamon flavors in it, but that is what other mods are for
I found a Efest 3100mah 20A battery and with a .22 coil at 20 watts I am seeing 24 hours of use on it, which doesn't quite empty the tank but it is enough battery life that this has been working for me for a daily driver. Anything less and this mod would have ended up on the shelf as the batter door is impossible to use. On board charging is good about 3 to 4 hours from empty to full charge.
Cleaning has not been an issue so far (note I have only done it once). As long as you are careful, turn the water on slow and make sure you dump it out way from the electronics in the mod, no problem. I did see that Kanger made a silicon sleeve to cover up the rest of the mod. It would have been nice if they would have included it with the mod though. I have not picked it up but i may.
The Vapor produced is just like the sub tank mini (at least with the RBA head) and IMO those are once of the best tanks out there.
Time will tell, but so far this has replaced my MVP 3/Subtank Mini as my daily driver with that setup riding in the bag as a backup.

I've had mine for a couple of months now and in the beginning, I was extremely pleased with it. After about a week's use or so it started to act up. It leaks. Not all the time, but once in a while it's all soggy bottom and it's really annoying. I've started storing it upside-down when not in use.
Also, I have some issues when using it in temp control mode, both with the old square OCC coils and the newer SSOCC coils. On random coils I get dry/burnt hits that there is no cure for, no matter how I tweak the settings. When it happens I have to toss the coil and hope the next one works. I have no idea if it's an issue with the mod or the coil.
Clearly Kanger needs to do some more development on this platform and release a v.2. As it stands now, it's really great when it works as it's supposed to, and equally frustrating when it doesn't. 2.5 stars out of 5.

I would wait at this point. They will no doubt make a newer and better version soon, since it has so many issues. Mine didn't leak at the start for a good few weeks, but now it does pretty often. Enough to where I can't risk putting it in my pocket...which sort of defeats the purpose of the whole thing for me.
There is sooo much potential, but they need to fix all the little things. If they did, I would highly recommend it. As it is now though, don't do it in my view.

Got me a Nebox just because of the neat size all in one really. I mainly use the RBA deck with it so no leaky problems for now. I saw some good advice about storing it or laying it on the table upside down, with the drip tip removed so I've been doing that if I leave it sitting for long periods of time. Here is a good coil build tutorial for it too -
What about the leak issue ???I want to love the nebox, but it just seems a bit comically oversized ?

I hate mine!!!! No leaking issues,but it is recommended that you charge it and store it on it's side...the tc sucks it sucks juice like crazy practically eats coils for breakfast sometimes,esp in tc mode no matter what you do esp if *forbidden* you go up or down five watts or adjust temp at all.I had to use a dropper or syringe to clean...which you will have to do often,the plastic tank holds flavours like crazy,after each juice I had to clean it like a mad woman.and I like to change juice several times a day.and that is part of my rant..there is more but I will give it a rest for Pete's sake.way better mods out there for less $$$
