Looking for yet another Mod!!! Kanger subbox mini?

[ellejewell]

Hey all, long time no see. I am back yet again with box mod issues. I have been vaping coming up on 2 years now and I have went through a 50 watt eleaf, 3, 30w Eleafs and an innokin coolfire!!!
I dont know what it is with these mods but they sooo do not like me as they never seem to last long and i am beginning to think they are battery related issues sooo..

anyway... on to my question. I am looking into the Kanger sub box mini since I can replace the battery, but I dont have to take the battery out to charge it all the time.

how many of you have had issues with this device? and how long has it lasted you and do you recommend it as a nice one to buy. Also, do you have problems with the magnetic cover? I will be using my serpent rta with it if I get it.

I like Kanger tanks, but personally don't care for their mods. I don't own one to give a fair assessment, that's JMO. Have you looked at the Pico istick? Those seem really popular with good things said about them. I have one, but it's in storage right now.

Havent heard of that one I will check it out now though.

I bought two subox mini kits a year ago October and still use them everyday. Early this year I bought one of the stainless steel Platinum editions and use it as well although it is slightly heavier. I bought it because I dropped the painted ones at work a few times and chipped the paint. Of course I retired shortly after that. When dropped the battery door goes flying as does the battery. I did chip one of the drip tips as well. The blue one ended having the paint get crackled and flake off. I assume the surface wasn't clean enough when painted.

I love the tanks but mostly use the rba even though the coil heads are good. Mine are all bottom fill.

okay well after looking i went ahead and got the kanger topbox mini kit. Although it does not come with a battery. So now... my question is do I get a samsung 25r with button top or flat top for this?

I already had mods with 18650s so had a good charger and batteries. I never charge in the mod. Just me. Don't go cheap if you get a charger. Don't start a fire to save a few dollars.

I have used AW 3000amh and Samsung 30Q flat tops. I have some older AW 2000mah button top that my wife uses, they fit inside as well.

thanks! why dont you charge while it is in the mod? I am asking because that was one of the features I liked about the kbox.

 

[PaulBHC]

Can't use it while it is charging. Not sure about the usb port / onboard charger / quality. Heat buildup effects?

It has been said (in the battery subforum) that batteries should rest / cool down / after charging. I have several batteries so that I can take one out and put one in without waiting.

I've had one for 2yrs now, and I always go back to it when I only have 1 18650 charge, very reliable vape!

Most people recommend not charging in the mod for safety. My understanding is fine to use sometimes but not all the time. Others charge in the mod all the time. My suggestion is if you want to charge in the mod just pay close attention to it in case it has a problem. I just charge with a battery charger that way when battery dies just pop in a new one and Vape away.

It hasn't been out two years.

Subox mini's are good mods. I own several Kanger's, including the mini, and never had a problem. My KBox 120 has many many miles on it and has never missed a tick.
