No, we both missed the memo, it's actually coming now.

Oh, I definitely missed the memo.

They really dropped the ball here, now you have the Cloupor Mini Plus TC and the EVIC VTC among other things. I won the Cloupor and the Reliant, both are TC mods and both are equally small.

Had this had spring loaded 510 I would have went with it instead of the Cool Fire IV, but I'm more than happy I did as it's a great device.

Still want one of these for some weird reason, the design is appealing.

Congratulations, fivefour!

And I agree 100%. That Cloupor mini+ is cheaper than Kbox and comes with TC. What's not to like? If they fixed the problems they initially had, it looks like a winner to me.

Thanks :)

I think it's very likely using the same chip as the Cloupor GT and they simply limited the wattage since the Mini Plus is single battery. The GT is a good device, a bit underpowered but good nonetheless.

Anybody else having issues with the paint rubbing off on the INSIDE of the tank where the juice is? Both my white and black STM are doing it all of a sudden. The white lost it on the chimney and the inside of the cage but the outer cage is still white and the black one lost it on the chimney and the outer cage. The of them are fine on the AFC and the top section for the drip tip. I was cleaning them with warm water and dish soap when they just rubbed off with my finger. Both were checked to Kanger's web site to make sure they weren't fakes.

Anyone have issues with the KBox rebooting continually? Just got mine a few days ago and last night I ran the battery dry. Plugged it in thru the USB to charge and when it was done it kept rebooting. Took the battery out and charged on the charger and still doing it. Cleaned everything down really well and checked all the posts. I'm guessing the PCB crapped out on me. Just my luck...

Original or kbox mini? Where did you purchase it from?

Are you guys familiar with the RBA and the airflow base losing their connection? I have been using the rba for a week now and the center post came loose. I tightened it back into the threaded rba airflow hole on the deck and couldn't get a connection. The pin in the airflow wasn't touching the RBA center pole. I had to just barely thread it to the deck hole again to "fix" it. I was hoping I just got a bad RBA. Anyone else experience this?

I bought a white and a black one from Vape Royalty (best price). Some of you may have heard about the 'E1' error code that may happen. Did on mine with the black kit after one week. The trick is to reset the processor:
Here's the trick. Install the battery in the BoxMod. Leave the cover off. Turn sideways. Using your thumbs, hold down all three buttons at one time at the same time slide the battery toward the negative (breaking connection) then release (reconnecting). This will reset the processor and reestablish function.

I'd contact the vendor and/or Kanger CS. This should not be happening. Sounds like a defective unit. If you got an original, they should replace it.

Good luck!

I'm probably just going to return the whole thing and get something different. The tank has begun draining my juice out of the air holes anyway. Thanks for the tip

Hi Mod! Long time! :)

Sorry about your troubles. Is it your RBA or the pre-made coils that leak?

Turns out this is pretty common because the post on the RBA is a couple mm shorter than the the stock occ. I noticed it was loose and tightened it up not knowing that the threaded airhole on the deck is only supposed to catch a few threads on the RBA post and tightening it further will leave a gap between it and the airflow base contact.
Here's a video about it.

@Katya I did buy two more RBAs and will report back when I get them.

Thank you! I'm so conflicted about this Subox. I've been waiting for a Kbox mini with adjustable pin for so long that I'm ready to get something else at this point.

I still want to try the Subtank V2 but those reports about leaks and now yours about the short post make me nervous. :facepalm:

I would wait until reports come in on the Cloupor Mini Plus TC, if all is good with it then it will be the best option per $ in my opinion. Should be any day now, I know mine is out there somewhere in transit and others are receiving them daily.

Yeah--I'm thinking either Cloupor mini+ or IPV D2.

And stop gloating! :lol:
