Got em!!! Finally received mah Vapemail today:banana::rickroll::vapor: An order from fastech and from kanger direct. Wasn't expecting the Suboxes today, what a nice surprise. Here is the black all filled up with kilo's Cereal Milk and topped with an aluminum, gold splattered red DT:

I've got the white one filled too but put away for tomorrow's fun;) I'll be sure to submit a pic. One thing I was not pleased with upon first inspection:

The micro USB charging port is somewhat off. The flash is on so you can see the circuit board but normal light and shadows hide it. I wasn't planning on using the port to often, but ... This thing came directly from Kanger. Hope this is not there idea of QC ~~fartnoises~~ .
It is slightly off on the white subox too.
Vape performance has not been affected by this displeasing aesthetic though. This juice sucker chucks!!! Also the stock OCCs are indeed built vertically and look pretty sweet inside. I'm dying to take it apart and replicate. Will be doing a thorough test on both tomorrow. Must stop vaping and go to sleep~~~~~~~~~

I also noticed the lack of QC on the construction of this thing. On my white Subox, the OLED screen is slightly slanted to one side. And now that you mentioned the USB port, I noticed that mine is slightly raised (not as bad as your's as mine doesn't have the circuit board visible) and it is off to the right. I've never tried to use it, but with the USB port slightly off to the right, this means that if I try to plug a USB cable in, it rubs a bit on the side so the cable is a snug fit.

For this price, and being from Kanger, with even my limited experience with their clearomizers, I didn't expect perfection, just expected something that works. And the box does! So does the subohm atomizer, if weirdly, but the 1.5 floods instantly. And mine buzzes on low voltage somewhere inside, but it works and fits my small hands swimmingly

The slanted screen doesn't bother me, and I have a separate charger so I don't ever expect to use the USB port. Honestly I don't have OCD to the point that I would return it for something so minor. I know there are others that would scream bloody murder.

On a cell phone forum that I belong to, there are some who will actually test their screens and if there is one dead pixel out of the millions on a high res screen, they will return the phone for a replacement. I remember one guy had posted how he exchanged phones four or five times until he found one to his liking.

Getting really mad with USPS. Mine shipped from CA on the 8th. On the 14th it finally made it to NC. They then sent it to the wrong town for delivery, said town is not similar to mine and does not have the same road as I live on it that town. Finally in my town but not showing out for delivery so likely be tomorrow. Almost two weeks to deliver mail, and they wonder why their business is going downhill.

Picked up a black kit yesterday at a local shop. Love the size compared to my iStick 50; fits the hand better. It is a bit heavier, though. have to say that I really enjoy the tank in this thing compared to my Atlantis v2. The flavor is much better and not as harsh.

My only complaint would be the wattage adjustment is a bit weird. Next up is to try my hand at messing with the RBA. Any advice for a noob?

It comes pre coiled so just watch the wicking video a few pages back and you are set on your first go with the RBA

Anyone else preorder from My Vape Deal and received yours yet?
I guess they are having problems getting them shipped out on time so to make things right they are shipping the kits with a 5pk of OCC coils. At least that's what their Facebook says...

Nope. Won't order from myvapedeal ever again. Some preorder ! Also saw they weren't sending 5pk of coils for some.

Watch videos of Subtank builds & tighten the screws while pushing the coil ends flush.
The screws weren't tight and the ends stuck out slightly on mine as received.
I always wash all tank parts in Dawn before using.
Machine oil ejuice notes are gross.

Guess we are getting what we paid for... Next time I'll spend the extra $5 from someone trusted! Hopefully it ships this week! When it does ship at least it coming from Cali where I live so shipping should only take 1 or 2 days tops.
