New to this forum just wanted to say hey and maybe get some help.
So I finally decided to get a new mod from my 50w estick. I ordered a Kanger Nebox
so anyone else who has one feel free to tell me your experience.
On to my battery issue, I have a Sony 18650 VTC5 battery 2600 mAh 30a and ordered
a xtar VC2 battery charger, trying to be as cautious as possible can anyone let me know
if that is a good charger for that battery thanks :)

Mod is fine, just "DO Not" over tighten the atomizer thumb screw and seal section, the mod is aluminum along with all of the threads, over tighten it will eventually leak as the threads are stretched and gaskets to compressed. The rebuildable section I've seen to many times it leaks like crazy so as long as you stay with pre-fab coil heads or really tweak around with the rba head you should do fine. Do not run the box up above 60watts with using Sony VTC5's, can probably wiggle about 65 to 68watts, but that is about all the VTC5 will handle. Strong battery if you use it properly, and a great investment along with an excellent charger for it, Xtar is pretty much IMO the Cadillac brand charger for vapers.

Welcome to the forums, fill a cup of your favorite drink, pull a chair and your vape and have fun :)

Can't help with the mods, but your battery and charger are both great and a very good combination. Hope you bought the battery from a reputable supplier, but there have been no reports I know of lately of any bad VTC5's on the market.

Xtar and Nitecore are the best chargers.

Sony, LG, Samsung are all good batteries.

I got it from vape beast I heard nothing but good things about them, I usually go to my vape shop but lately the employees there can be stuck up so I just gave up on them
