    Just regarding the occ coils, I was going to order some there, but was unsure if I was buying the original ones or the new ones?

    Any help appreciated? I know the new RBA has large holes on the side and the older one had smaller ones lower.

    Was it the same with the disposables?

    Just to come back to this, ordered some 0.5 OCC coils.

    They were genuine, code checked out.

    They are not the same. One in the subbox mini kit are vertical coils, these are horizontal, plus the wattage range is more limited.

    Fine, you say.... at least they can still be used....

    Nope, they don't fit the base. They are smaller so won't thread compared to the one that came with the subbox mini.

    So where does one acquire these new vertical coils. Bit of a nuisance, I'll be getting into building a lot quicker it seems.

    This also raises some issues with backwards compatibility. But I don't have an older subtank to check.

    Here are the vertical coils http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/product-p/occv.htm

    All Subtank coils are backward compatible,they are supposed to be,I have seen it in all videos,even on the link for the vertical coil,it says it fits all.
    Must do some investigating...

    Just Picked up a black one last night and DAMN!

    For the price it is one amazing piece of kit, a testament to how far vaping technology has come in the past few years. Even a newbie could pick up this badboy for under $100 and get thick wafty clouds of vapor hanging over his head within seconds of taking it out of the box without knowing a thing about wattage, resistance etc ... and just get on board.

    Doesn't leak, isn't "massive", pretty much foolproof, cheap spares, and great flovor - not much more you could ask for.

    The only con with it, is that so many people have one that there is very little to talk about with other vapers anymore.
    "Hey bud what are you using"
    -"A Sub-box mini"
    "Oh I got one too "

    *Cue the Awkward Glances*

    :p

    I got the silicone sleeve thrown in for free (recommended) so the battery door "issue" is a non-issue, and it feels really nice.

    Reckon this will be with me for quite a while - nicely done Kanger.

    It has everything you need to get started. One of each occ head and an rba base with two premade coils and some cotton

    Just be sure when ordering replacement coils you get the vertical ones. Linked a few posts ago at ESI.

    For some reason the older horizontal ones wouldn't fit for me despite supposed to be backwards compatible.

    In any case, whether they fit for others or not, the horizontal ones are much better and the newer design.

    i charge mine via the kanger no problems.i chain vape so the battery doesnt last all day,no problem for me cause i drive for a living so charge/vape as i go.
    but if you cant do that then best to carry a extra battery(vaping at 17 watts)

    so then yes,get a charger

    And a good one too.
    Do not skimp out on batteries or their chargers.

    Sorry but that's like putting paint stripper (dekang) in a Ferrari.
    You should try this, also when they get it back in stock next week try dragonfire. It's amazing how sharp the taste is from the little piece of kit, imo :)

    I agree with everything Deco Nate said. Definitely get better juice. Dragonfire is lovely I've tried that one. I hear the other flavours from game of clouds are nice too. Perino cream berry is fantastic too
