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.....
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?

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 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 .

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

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.

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 :)
