Kangertech

[EdMathes]

What kind of company is Kangertech are their products junk?
I have an Protank 3 Mini -
That leaks e-juice on the battery top all the time.
I now just received my subox Mini Starter Kit - It worked one day now it's dead and won't light up totally dead.
No one seems to care about solving the problem either!

Kanger tech is pretty reputable. As far as your mini. Are you removing the battery to charge it or are you using the USB charger? It could be a few things going on. Is the battery in correctly? Did you click the fire button 5 times?

 

[EdMathes]

Yes very familiar on how to use the unit its just dead, bad cell? I dont know if these work with USB and no battery because this doesn't work on USB only with no battery installed so.....

 

[EdMathes]

And yes was using USB to charge

They don't work with out a battery. Have you tried removing the batterm and reinstalling? It's odd because devices even clones usually don't die overnight. Same with batteries unless there is a drain on them. Do you have another device to try the battery in?

Only a vape pen, this was my first attempt at Sub Ohm Vaping now I regret paying $70. for something that doesn't even work... the only word from Kangertech was did I read the ownets manual that's it nothing to help and I just got this in the mail Monday from Kangertech, crap really blows!!

Do you gave a mulitmeter? If you do you can check voltage on the battery. If it's above 3.2 it's probably the device. The site you got it from should be able to handle an exchange. Kangertech usually leaves it to the vendors.

Welcome to the forum! Hate that you're having trouble with your Kbox - I love mine! What brand battery did you get (brand/mAh)?

Kanger is usually pretty good. There are liquids that are tank crackers. (Meaning that you have to have glass or anything but acrylic.) I have 3 Subtank Minis and love every one of them. Now as far as the mod, I would get a replacement or get your money back. Also look into the iStick brand. If you want TC then go for the 40W or 60W for about 40 bucks. I use a 30W and have had it for about 2 years now. No real issues. Just some suggestions to help you. I know I have had leaks and they can be maddening. Good luck to you and welcome .

Kangertech is about as reliable as VW.

So, mostly OK, sometimes dreadful?

I find Kanger usually good. In this case something is not right. Sounds like a bad battery or bad USB to me. I never use usb and have not had problems. Co-incidence?

I only have a subtank plus so I can't speak for there mods, but it's one of my favorite tanks and I've only had nly coil out of probably 20 or so. They produce thousands of products a day so there is going to be bad product every once and while.

Idk Eleaf products have there share issues too. Why not get a Sigellei 75W? They're fairly cheap.

The only problem I had with Kanger was my iPow 2, it was totally my fault though.

I bet the battery is a bit loose inside the compartment; that means the battery contacts are not both making contact at the same time therefore no power.
check for battery rattle by shaking.

I have a Subox Mini set up and I really like it and so far I haven't had any issues with it. I vape it all day. The only thing I don't like about Kanger is you're pretty much locked in to their set up. I'm looking at getting a new mod so I can start playing with some of the other tanks out on the market.

As far as the issue you're having it has to have a battery in it to work. I was told by a guy at my local vape shop that he charged his Subox via usb and after a while he said it fried the chip inside. I'm not sure if that's possible or not and I couldn't see that happening to yours in the short time you've had it. I always charge my batteries on an external charger. Good luck I hope you figure out what's wrong!

How are you locked into their set up? I don't own a sub box mini but I have/had several of their tanks and batteries and have always been able to mix and match with other equipment.

 

[PinkCupcake]

I've read of people having issues using non Kanger tanks on their Kanger mods. Bad connections, leaking things like that. I havent tried using anything but the tank that came with my Subox. Could I put a crown tank on it?

the subox mod doesn't always play well with other toppers, specifically... the fixed firing pin has been the cause of a number of those issues... hypothetically, there is a v2 in the works with a spring loaded firing pin...

you COULD put a crown tank on it... not sure about performance, though - with the .25 ohm coil, i tend to run mine at 50-70 watts... with the .5 ohm coil, should be in the power range for that mod, though... and for what it is worth, the crown is an exceptional tank setup - rivals my tfv4's for performance, and a bit more user friendly

 

[PinkCupcake]

Yeah it sounds like I should have waited for V2 to come out but oh well. If I did put a crown tank on it I'd use .5 coils which is what I use in my Kanger tank now. I just want a new mod so I can play around with different tanks and not have to worry about connection issues.
