new kbox nano need help setting temps

[vapeking142]

i just bought a new kbox nano and for some reason its not hitting like i want it to. i used to have the spinner vision 2 and would use 4.3 volts and could get good harsh hitting hits like smoking a newport.when i use this i get this really weird throat hit that feels like theres crap in the back of my throat. can somone please help me set the tempeture and wattage correctly so i can have it pull like an actual ciggarette? thanks

We need a little more info before we can help you. What tank were you using on your spinner, and what on the kbox?

the tank on my spinner is an aspire BDC et with 1.8 resistance. heres a link to it : Aspire BDC Et s Clearomizer | eBay

the tank im running on the kbox nano is a subtank and im running a 1.5 ohm coil, heres a link for it: Kangertech SUBOX Kit with KBOX Nano and Subtank Nano- Black


when i bought it i thought i was upgrading to a nicer unit but in my opinion the 30$ spinner vision 2 smokes ALOT better with nice clean hits that feel like im pulling on a cigarette. with the kbox nano im getting hits that feel wierd in the back of my throat and after a few hits i need to clear my throat. can somone please help me with the set up on the kbox? i dont know what tempeture or coil or wattage to set it to to be able to hit it like my spinner 2 or somthing as close to a cigarette. the liquid im using is manhattan rockefeller center (80/20vg/pg) but i dont think its the liquid at all

There are two main differences between the to devices you listed. The ego with the BDC clearomizer is a very low end device. It's a device that really restricts the airflow a lot, and concentrates the vapor in very little air. The kanger systems are a larger setup, but tend to be the oppsoite of what you experience.. It has a huge airflow and more power.

If you're talking about throat hit, there are a few things that contribute, one is the PG and the other is the nic content. with your ego, the vapor was small, but concentrated, but with the kbox, it's more open and relies mainly on the juice you use. I'd try restricting the airflow on the atomizer as much as you can. on my Subtank, if I wanted to emulate an ego, I would have to close the airflow all the way and enough air would seep in through the AFC ring to be about equal to the ego. The only problem with that, is that it also allows the heating coil to heat up, and possibly burn the cotton. so, try lowering the power of the kbox or your atomizer will get too hot. See if that helps some.

thanks for the reply, that seems smart considering on the ego the wholes on the tank were very very small, i tried restricting the airflow a little and its a little better but when i inhale the throat hit is very wierd. its hard to describe it feels like theres somthing in the back of my throat its not like a nice pull from a cigarette it like stays back in there. do you have any suggestions on temperature or wattage, also do you own a kbox nano? what other settings are there besides those that change how it hits? thanks for the responses btw greatly appriciated.

sorry it's been a while.. I don't own a Kbox nano, but I own several variable voltage/wattage/temp systems. With these systems, you control one of these settings.. etiher wattage or voltage if you run kanthal/nichrome, or Temperature control if you have a coil that supports it.

Again, I'll try to be brief, so things might be a bit over simplified. Generally, the lower the ohms, the thicker the wire. The thicker the wire, the more surface area there is to the juice, which burns more. It also burns hotter and cools down slower. This is true for the wattage/voltage settings. With temperature control, the ohms are low, but that's because they use a different low resistance wire, so that isn't as much of a factor than the temperature control setting.

normally, the kbox setup comes with two coils, a 1.5 ohm and a .5 ohm. This may sound strange, but I prefer running my coils at 4.0-4.2 volts, but keep the device in wattage mode. Depending on which coil you use, that could mean a totally different wattage. For the 1.5 ohm coil, I set it for 12 -13 watts. For .5 ohm coil, I usually set it to 30-35 watts. That is with 1/4th to 1/2 open. if you restrict it more, you might want to lower the wattage some.

I do run temperature control, and I usually prefer it at 325F which is fairly low.

Now, as far as the "something in the back of your throat", it might be because of increased heat. if I have the temp setup too high, as the vapor hits the back of the throat, it tends to linger a bit. the only thing I would be concerned with, is if you're setting your mod too hot, an burning some of the cotton and mistaking that for throat hit. Singing the cotton will cause a rather harsh hit. that's called a dry hit, but if it's on the fringe of a dry hit, it can be harsher than a regular hit, and not be as noticable.

hope this gives you some help, or at least a starting point... let me know how things are going.

I have this device. It does produce a lot more vapor than I was used to when I got it even on the smallest air hole. I too am using the 1.5ohm coil. I do notice the higher in wattage you go the vapor gets warmer and can feel weird on your throat if your not used to it. People who subohm are experienced with that some people like me and possibly you are not. The draw on the last airhole unfortunately is the tightest draw you're gonna get off of this device.

Interesting stuff.

Everyone likes to vape a little differently to each other. Running a tank designed for higher power and lots of airflow can be strange.

The best thing if you like the 'style' of a baby clearomizer and mouth to lung inhaling is either to use the same sort of tanks on your big box mod (your kbox) or close down the airflow on your new tank and put in a slimmer drip tip.

You could easily run a baby clearo on a subox, iStick 30w, kbox, Coolfire as long as your mod will turn down far enough to not burn the atomizer with too much power.

Not to go on too much (..zzzz) but box mods are quite clever batteries but sometimes you can't get them to "step down" enough for old school clearomizers.

thank you all so much for all the replys

with that said i put in a .5 coil but im not sure why it says .20 on the top next to the battery. For the people who own the kbox nano could somone explain to me what that means because the other day it was at .15 and im just a little confused by it. Also what does a mod truly mean? i would think a mod is adding an upgraded part to an existing e cig but as somone said "your mod" which got me a little confused. It is hitting a little bit better as i messed with the wattage and everything. Right now its on 25 watts. btw i know i dont have a special atomizer to use the tempeture but i can still set it to hit better right? or is it on a standard tempeture until i change the tank? before i read any of these posts i was messing with the temp a little bit (might be why its hitting a little better, not sure) Anyway thank you all for replying it truely helps.
