Kanger Nebox
- Thread starter Rl711
- Start date
3-4 tanks through mine and no leaks - 15-20 tanks through my wife's and she has no leaks either. Swapping batteries is a bit of a pain, the tank being plastic means it's not compatible with all flavors, and you're stuck with no adjustable airflow and Kanger coils or Kanger's RBA, but I like it quite a bit as an out-and-about stealth mod.
Do a search for other Nebox threads. We've been trying to figure out the reported leaking problem. There doesn't seem to a specific fault to pin in on.
My wife's Nebox leaked once... because it was her first rewicking attempt and she flooded the RBA. Every time I've changed the cotton, it's been fine. I've rewicked with a different method each time, and might have finally found a keeper. Will report back after Christmas if it works.
I would never buy one for myself, but I like hers. Airflow is good and the tank is big. She's mentioned good flavor. The retail SSOCC coils last a surprisingly long time, compared with the older-style Kanger attys. The coils that came w/ the RBA are responsive. I'm changing out far less cotton in the RBA than I thought I'd have to... and wayyyy less than I do in my Kanger Subtank Mini. Charge with the passthrough if you don't want to keep changing out batts. Can't think of anything else.

Mine only leaks first thing in the morning when it's been sitting in the cold and I turn the heat on. Other than that, I store it on its side, and it's fine! I have the clapton OCC coils, which gives pretty good flavor. The battery life isn't that good, but it's perfect for out and about!
This. The Nebox is perfect for Mrs. Dave at around 18 watts - all day on a battery and a fill. No good for me for any more than a night on the town because I can burn 2-3 batteries at higher watts before I can drain a tank.
There are other good Nebox threads too, like @LostHasher says - give them a look, I'm lurking just in case I run into issues and have to start troubleshooting in the future...
Haven't had a problem with airflow, either w/ the SSOCCs or the RBA. If you have a vape shop near you, you might be able to try one.
Comparing the airflow to the Subtank, I'd say it's closer to wide open than the medium-sized hole on the adjustment ring, but not quite as loose. My wife will hold her pinky over the base when she draws if she wants to tighten it up...
I freaking hate hate hate my Subtank. The problem is that it came with that early-gen RBA with the micro juice slots in the bottom. I'm actually drilling holes in the middle of the sleeve later today so I can have a workable tank for our Annual Christmas Journey.
Knowing that, I can't accurately compare the two, other than to say the Nebox is far better. So stick with Dave's assessment.
The Nebox is a nice compact device and serves its purpose, but I wouldn't make it my only mod. If you've got nothing else in this class already I'd lean toward the VTC
