kbox mini

[vapingnick]

Hey People.

First of all, this is my first post to forgive the annoying questions. I've had a dig round and can't find an answer to my question so i'm asking here.

I moved to vaping about 5 months ago and have a rather meandering journey through ego style vaping, finally resting with a nautilus mini and vapros spinner which seemed to serve my purposes well. Just been into the shop to take the next step and got a topbox mini starter kit and i have to say i'm a little out of my comfort zone.

Now i do like the nautilus tanks so i got one of those to go with it and here's where my problems start. Now i know that the nautilus coils are 1.6 ohm but on the kbox it's registering as 0.22 ohms. Is this a problem? I'm not sure you can change the resistance, just the wattage (which i'm running pretty much at max to get what i'm used to with the vapros). Just feels like i'm running it a little high.

Thanks.

The device may be in Joule/Temperature Control mode, and need changed to Power/Wattage mode.

oh, you need sub-ohm atomizers and sub-ohm coils for your new gear, ask the staff in the shop to suggest some of them for you

Sorry, but that's not correct.

The Subox Mini mod is not restricted to the use of sub-ohm rated coils

yes the OP said kbox, and wanna walk a little out of my comfort zone, so sub-ohm is suggested

The thing is that it comes with a Ti, Ni, SS and Clapton coil with very little introduction on where i should start with that. Does anyone have any direction on it - or a link i can read?

 

[Adan]

The Ti and Ni coils must be used in temp control mode. you can use the other coils in power/wattage just like the coils on your Nautilus mini.

Ok great. It's more the reasons behind using the different coils. Presumably they perform differently? Do different things - apologies but i'm a total beginner at all this. I only discovered yesterday that you can actually have different coils!

This is an example of why Kanger (and other manufacturers) should out much clearer labelling on any tank or kit that includes nickel or titanium coils or wire.

Sure, all the information is out there, but a customer should not have to search on google / youtube to find the basic minimum information that is required to use a product safely.

For clarity (in general terms): Kanthal, nichrome - power (wattage) mode only. Titanium, nickel - temperature mode only (with no hot dry burning of coils). Stainless steel can often be temperature or wattage mode, if the equipment allows for it.

It is not even quite as simple as that. But nickel and titanium coils should contain strongly worded and highly visible warnings and advice as to their correct usage.

It is genuinely shocking to me that they don't. Maybe some regulation (of the right kind) is what this industry needs.
