New Kanger Box Mod- The Subox

[blivey]

subox mini kit arrived.

I'm out of town.

Wife is loving it.

Kit includes subtank mini rba if we're communicating well.

You might as well go ahead and order another one. You'll never get it away from your wife

I've ordered one today, I just had a failed rDNA 40 last week (scorched board during charging) and I decided to look for something different in box format and removable battery. Seems like what the doctor has ordered.

LOL

You got a point, there.

But i dunno about that. We got some pretty solid gear for all occasions.

But i will likely buy another. Or maybe 2 if the wife decides she wants a white setup. But probably 1 to PIF at some point.

Maybe.

While we are on the discussion of battery life... Does anyone know how long the battery should take to fully charge using the micro USB port? I read around somewhere in this thread that it is more efficient to use an actual battery charger, but I don't have one at the moment. Thanks.

Depends on your batteries mah rating.

Sexy, right? Especially with the kit (forgive me) all matchy matchy.

That's what got me. I didn't want one AT ALL.

But damn! Sexy!

it charges at .9-1 amp which should charge a 2500 mah battery from about 3.4v to full 4.2v in about 2-3 hours

 

[beckdg]

2250 I believe.

about 2.25 hours

less some for remaining charge in the cell

plus some for constant voltage term of the cc/cv charging algorithm

Thanks for the info everyone. I am kind of bummed I didn't do my research before getting the batteries. I was thinking more mah?!?! Must last longer then....guess not =\ MVS makes it very convenient just to add on the batteries and charges when putting items in your cart. Hopefully the 25r's will do the trick. I'd really like to pop a fresh battery in, in the morning and not have to worry about it until the next day.

On a related note, the manual states that when the battery is fully charged, the OLED display will go off. I charged mine all night with a 1 amp wall charger and in the morning I had full bars, but the OLED was still on. What have others experienced with this?

That will really depend on how much you vape and at what wattage. FWIW, my Orbtronics SX30 battery is 2100 mah, I have been vaping it at 40 watts and the battery lasts me about two tankfuls of juice (I refill the tank when the juice level drops to the top of the wick holes).

Does anyone else's hair get greasier than normal now that you've switched to vaping?

No, quite the opposite. It makes it fluffy! Now back to our regularly scheduled thread...

negative ghost rider

i sweat more than most so im a greasy mess anyways LOL
not to mention my hair is stupid thick

 

[Buster282]

umm.. no but my nails grow faster! Back on topic.. Does anyone have the Kbox Mini and the Cloupor Mini? How does the size/weight compare? Like it? I'm currently using an Istick 30 and find the Cloupor just too heavy. also zero sex appeal with Cloupor..

Does the amount of juice vaped matter? It's that wattage that determines how much is pulled from the battery, determining how long it will last. Two different people can have the same mod, build, and wattage, but use different amounts of juice depending on how well that build is done, i.e., how efficient it is in getting the juice vaporized.

Good points about juice cinsumption being similar between two of the same builds.
But the bigger or more frequent draws will still pull more charge out of the battery anyway, no matter how much or how little juice is used. It's still the amount of charge being removed that determines battery life.

I do see the usefulness of possibly having some kind of rating for a battery that relates it to juice consumption though. But, can you say that a battery will vape a certain amount of juice in any build or atty? I think all we could do is say that a certain battery handles a certain amount of juice, at a certain wattage, with a certain build, with a certain atty. I'm not sure if anyone else could use that number unless they had the same setup.

Your build res, wire gauge, wire type, coil diameter, coil style, wicking medium, wicking density, wicking style, airflow, juice type and which regulated mod you are using all contribute to how high of a wattage you can vape at. Wattage is the heat produced and is directly proportional to the amount of juice converted to vapor. I'm not asserting that we should "rate" batteries by juice consumption at a given wattage but rather that to more effectively share our battery life experiences with our mods it is necessary to include those two factors in our discussions when talking about battery life.

So again, if someone says they get 2 days out of an 18650 but don't share with us how much juice they vaped at what wattage we gain nothing by the comment. I still stand on my original comment

With the addition of a spring-loaded pin I don't think I'll be able to avoid buying this one as my first box mod and RTA. Keep those reviews coming!

Anyone try putting a Magma or any other dripper on theirs yet?

Also, I saw photos of the black box with black buttons!! Those darn red buttons are the biggest reason I'm not excited about the way the kit looks... Are there replacement buttons or something? Could the red ones be colored black somehow?

 

[oplholik]

Maybe some black enamel hobby paint, or nail polish?

the black buttons were taken out of a white kit, but you could just take them out and dye them black very easily
