Anyone else worried about what the press will do if they see those photos?
Yea, the guns are fake but that won't change their outrage. Want to be a ganster? Start vaping! Got a gun? Make sure you vape when you use it!

Just my personal opinion but I think they could have gone gangster with the marketing without the guns.

[edit] I get the whole zombie thing they're going for but the press will not.

I am.

And that is why I just contacted Kanger with this e-Mail....

Re: Images on your site.

I am writing to say that I find these Images on your site to be disturbing. And in very poor taste.

{img}


How does an image of a person wearing a mask and holding a gun promote e-Cigarette use by adults as being responsible?

Is this the image you want people want to associate with Kanger? People holding guns or splattered with blood.

This has step down which few above 30w have in this price range. That's whats been frustrating me. I didn't want 2 devices, one for lower wattages and another for higher wattages. That makes it pretty unique.

I also bet Kanger's done some work with the USB charging issue more than other mod manufacturers in this price range. We shall see I guess.

Right now I think the ultra low prices and minimized Kbox was a teaser for when this hit the market because it's sure created a buzz. I bet a lot of boardrooms are saying "Oh crap" right about now (Innokin, smok, etc). I think Kanger nailed what the public has been wanting.

I want both so I can mix them up. I need to find someone else who wants to do the same.

I'm not a fan of how box mods usually look, but I think that this one looks decent, though I'm not sure what's up with the blood and guns and zombie hunters on their homepage.

Is this made for cloudchasers, since it's sub ohm?

Also, since it's a starter kit, shouldn't it come with 2 batteries? What is somebody supposed to do, when the battery runs out and they have to recharge it?

I see your point as they do this with video games blow it out of proportion blaming the games for the way society has gone with violence.

I know if I was an ANTZ, or someone Pushing for Regulations and Restrictions, I would Plaster these Images on Every Forum and Social Media site I could.

Kanger should Take those Images Down ASAP.

And ANTZ also pointed to over 35 year old spokespersons and called them "kids" (jessica mccarthy and courtney love). Nobody in that ad was underage. Think guns aren't glorified elsewhere or there's something wrong with zombie hunting? A lot of adults watch Spiderman and Batman too - while eating candy, of course.

They are not going to be pleased about vaping no matter what we do. Or don't do. There were no kids in the ad. It's ok to market to under 35 years old.

It's all good! Tone is hard to convey over straight text. I tend to believe the best possible scenario. It'd certainly be nice to pick up any device and use any juice with it and just have it work. No fuss, just works.
That is precisely what I was saying. That's the way it was when I used cartos. But, back then it was just for the nic. Now vaping itself is my addiction. I just wish there was a way to have a device that could run any blend of juice with out leaking and dry hitting. 100pg-100vg. I wanna have my pick. But, in a perfect world right? Haha.

I this Day and Age, where there is a Shooting just about Everyday, I just Can't see how this type Images can be seen as a Good thing.

Not sure why Kanger feels it Needs to use them? Seems like all they need to do is Post Pictures of there New Mod and people go Crazy over it.

Why post pictures of People Vaping in Masks holding Guns?

I think our biggest problem is we are asking more and more all the time, expecting it to be a perfect implementation each time. When the subtank came out, I remember reading that 50/50 juice was what everyone said you should use in any tank, max. High VG stuff was for drippers. If you run the subtank with an rba, properly wicked without modifying the juice channels, you can get 40 watts easy if you're running 50/50 juice. These manufacturers try to predict market trends and they're pretty good at it. Sometimes they're a bit off the mark.

You see, I get that. But, my first thought when I saw that was "I gotta get a white watch to match my new Subox." Now, I am basically a 14 year old kid trapped in a grown mans body, but still. Haha.

Because when the Vapocalypse happens, you're going to have to defend your new kanger subox. People will kill for that. ;)

I agree completely. That's why is stated that I didn't mean to sound like an .... We do ask a lot when expecting a product to be perfect every single time for every single person. If you like to Vape high pg juice, and are a flavor chaser, then it's perfect for you, as the Kanger tanks have always been imo. I've never had another tank out out flavor that was as good as, if not better than my dripper. But, I'm a cloud chaser. I still will take my Kanger over an Atlantis 2 or arctic every time.

I guess I just see these Images Differently than some.

Because I work with HR Managers / Lower Level Policy Makers. And it is a constantly Uphill Battle to promote that e-Cigarettes is something an Adult does for HRT.

    What is it with zombies these days is that the in thing. I love a good zombie flick but i dont see what it has to do with vaping. Maybe they trying to imply we can blow clouds and zombies wont see us in them .:?:

    Aha! The reason for cloud chasing competitions has been exposed!
    It's all just a cover up organized by the guys in the black helicopters to prepare the pre-chosen survivors how to survive the imminent zombie apocalypse!

    I'm planning on getting a derringer. Tiny little chamber, close off the airflow. Should be a flavor machine. In regards to the Atlantis and arctic, I don't like their designs as much as the Kanger Subtanks and wasn't as satisfied with the vapor. Maybe I just have to take some time to fiddle with em, but I really would prefer not to have to learn the ins and outs of more tanks lol.
