Hey guys , so I started on a crappy ego c and quickly got a Kanger Subvod that Ive been using everyday for a month.There is nothing wrong with it im just looking for something a bit more powerful for when I vape at home.I have been looking at the Kanger Nebox and the subox mini along with the eleaf istick and evic vt....Im only over a month into vaping so if anyaone with experience on these devices or other ones could advise me that'd be great.

Alot of people will tell you the nebox is a big leaker. Most of those people will be right. I take it you're not into rebuilding yet, so I'd suggest staying away from that particular mod. When I use stock coils on the nebox, it leaks. Don't know if thats normal but when I use the rba it doesn't leak. Personally in your situation, I'd take a look at the eLeaf Pico. It's a single 18650 device, and theres a set that comes with the Melo 3. I really enjoyed my original Melo, and the coils aren't cost heavy either. I found one that was 64.99(CDN). The subox is a great one too, but I just prefer the small, compact convenient size the Pico has. I think they'll perform about the same (subox & pico)

I'd advise against buying any more Kanger products. They're just not that great, and no cheaper than superior alternatives.

I highly recommend the iStick Pico; imo it's the finest single 18650 device on the market for ~$40, (~$30 without the tank), and better than most that cost ~$20-$30 more. I replaced my Topbox Mini with one and I'm very glad I did.

Nope, the Pico performs quite a bit better than the Subbox/Topbox, with a smooth, flat DC signal and no discernable firing delay.. not to mention the many more TC features it has. The chips Kanger uses in their mods are crude, and dated.

Pico is a great mod.

But since you mentioned indoor use, if you want your mod to last a day or two on a single charge look into mods with dual or triple batteries.

Joytech cuboid, sigelei 213 are both dual battery mods.

Reuleaux RX 200 is a forum favorite and it's a triple battery mod. Alot of members have 1 or more of these. I personally have 2 for at home use.

Not a fan of kanger products. Just my personal opinionmbut the toptank mini left me wanting..

You mentioned the Evic VT but I assume you mean the VTC instead. If not I can only recommend the VT. Superb battery life and a great mod overal. All it lacks is TC mode for SS imo.

As for a tank I can only recommend the Kanger Toptank. Bullet proof and the tank comes with several coils to try out including a RBA deck for when you do feel ready to build your own coils.

Good luck!

My Subvod leaks out the airflow all the time.If the subox or nebox is the same they are not options.

The tanks on the Subbox/Topbox are the same as the Subvod, (Toptank comes with a top fill version), so yes, they'll leak, just like the one you have now does.

The Nebox leaks from the bottom, (where the airflow is located), badly.

None of the other tanks I've owned leak as badly or as regularly as Kanger tanks. The M3M that comes with the Pico has never leaked on me, even after sitting on its side for hours.

    Got the Pico , was looking in the shops & liked the Pico.The feel the vape loved it.Got the device Melo 3 tank battery charger & free gourmet juice for €46.99

    The "Pico" is currently one of the best "bang for the buck" single 18650 devices. The eLeaf iStick TC100 and JoyTech Cubiod are leading the field for the best "bang for the buck" dual 18650 devices and lastly the RX200 is a very popular 3 18650 device.

    I think you'll be pleased with your Pico purchase and when/if battery charge life becomes an issue there are alot of good dual and triple 18650 mod choices available to vapor's today.

    Happy Vaping!
