if they did it right i would image the flavor will be intense, rival the kayfun flavor. right up my alley and it looks awesome :D
Obviously I'm going to have to buy one; as well as the Atlantis. Ironic that I've been getting more into mechs, and rebuildables lately; now these companies are coming out with clearos that 'should' give a great Vape on a mech lol

My Vape budget is so fucked, and nonexistent these days smh

so just to clarify - you can rebuild your own coils like a kayfun on these things? i gotta say - this clearo looks beautiful!

its insane how fast kanger pushes out crap though... i mean they JUST redesigned their dual coil heads, now they have completely new ones?

It appears that they supply you with a rebuildable module, with maybe a standard building deck inside??

They HAD to do something; as aspire has been slaughtering them lately lol

yup! totally agree... I mean - if this is what it sounds like - it could be the best of both worlds..

if i'm too lazy to rebuild it, I can just throw in a head and be off! - that is a great idea and I'll be all in for a few of these if thats the case

imo - i think this one looks way nicer than the aspire one.. juice capacity will also be a factor though since I hear the aspire one only holds 2ml.. which is awful

I could go both ways with juice capacity. Sometimes I find that I want big capacity for obvious reasons, and other times it's a hassle; because if you tire quickly of a flavor, or the juice sucks etc, you'll have to siphon out the old liquid, and then refill. Can be a pain in the ass, and wastes juice.

Small, and large capacity tanks both have their place in my arsenal

Totally agree.. but with sub-ohm coil heads i feel like 2ml is just not enough.. feel like you will be filling that thing every hour.. I mean i have my nano kayfun with a .9 coil and I fill this thing AT LEAST 2 times a day.. sometimes 3 if i've been chain vaping.. and I'm not pushing any crazy wattage or anything

I mean I'll probably end up grabbing one regardless - and I'm sure knowing kanger they will release a version 2 within a month anyways with larger capacity lol.

Yea I hear you. My fogger V5 empties a tank super quick, and I'm going to assume it'll only be worse when I start using it again (I drilled it out huge) after the new glass arrives.

I almost bought one myself but a lot of negative reviews made me hesitant.. I'm going to grab the Orchid v4 instead I think

By buddy at a local B&M sold it to me cheaper than eBay prices, and I couldn't pass it up. Doing my third build, I dropped the glass breaking it, and decided to mod the air control ring, and drill out the holes for more flow. I figured the wicking out after a bit of research, and it was great, but restrictive as fack. Now you can lung hit the thing, and I'm anxious to get the damn replacement glass to try it out; as I've only tested it dry smh

kanger has always had sexy ass tanks...the coils started going down hill, what, about 2 years ago...
literally forced me to start taking a hard look at rebuildables...

the coils better be fucking fantastic before i drop another dime on a kanger product
aspire has the same issue with their coils...and the same goes for them...

but, if kanger finally gets it right...kudos to 'em...

The BVC's have been excellent for me , never thought they would last for weeks and all you got to do is throw them in a pan of boiling water for a minute or two to make them like new again.

That being said i am avoiding buying these replaceable head tanks (except Nautilus) since i have a few of those and i don't want to add another topper where i have to continually buy replacement heads .

These days the Orchid 4 seems to be the overwhelming pick , no dealing with replacement heads, provides a vape that bests the Kayfuns and it's dirt cheap , how can you lose lol.

So a dual head for rebuildables or coil heads alike.. I want a subohm off to see what would produce a better cloud.. New coil vs rebuild..

Bring it on.

LOL it does.. but if they get this one done right - it could be a game changer.. I mean aspire doesn't have anything like this out yet.. I will be all over these if the reviews look good and they arn't a total PITA to build on..

Yeah , got to admit the Kangertech has the Atlantis beat as far as looks so unless the Atlantis clearly outperforms the Kanger this one looks like a win for Kangertech .

why would they even do this??

View attachment 9117

LOL .. ask Kanger.. they always release products way too soon.. I mean they pumped out 3-4 different clearos within a couple months of each other.. and now the sub tank shortly after those.. not enough QA testing from them..

its not costing them much to produce them.. so even if they don't sell a ton right out the gate.. they are still making $.. then they figure out people's gripes.. fix them and release V2 (using most of the same parts they already were using for the V1) and then they sell a ton more.. pretty annoying..

REVIEWED


And the heads have been confirmed to fit the Protank 3/ Aerotank/ Emow variants


Want to slap that 22mm Aerotank mega on a mech, and actually get a decent Vape? It just may be possible now..

just sucks they had to make it a mammoth of a tank, i was pretty excited for a tiny build deck inside a 22mm device but it looks just like a standard kayfun size build deck

25mm is the price we pay for having a removable build deck we can replace with a pre-built head. Ideal? No. I am also frugal when it comes to vape gear. I spend my dollars on e-liquid.

The new BPDC heads are backwards compatible with all previous Kanger dual-coil clearomizers with the exception of the 14mm devices. That gives us the options of 19mm, 22mm and larger attys. With today's market, it should give Aspire's BVCs a run for their money. If not, it's a big fail.

Kanger wasn't going to release an RTA deck for the SubTank that didn't perform at least as well as a Kayfun Lite+. Their intention of building with dual-parallel coils on a removable build-deck seems to necessitate the extra size. I have a 19mm DreamTank (Kayfun clone). The build deck is TINY and utilizes push-pins instead of screws. It vapes better than any current clearomizer but does not reach the level of a full-size RTA. Dual coils on the DreamTank? Not a chance...

I'm on the road for up to weeks at a time. The idea of traveling with an RTA that I can throw in a pre-built head should the RTA's build go bad is brilliant. The necessity of swapping out the top cap with the heads (using screws!) makes the process less flexible, convenient and on-the-go friendly.

Like the Aspire Atlantis heads, the BPDCs will run $4-5 each. Definitely too pricey as a regular vape for me. At $40+ each for the SubTank, I can purchase two cloned RTAs or an RTA and a decent clearomizer. Again, the SubTank is probably too pricey for me.

Looks like I'll stick with my current setup. Two Erlkonigin clones and Aerotanks with rebuilt BVC heads. If only nano kits for the Erlk would hit the clone market...

sick looking tank, finally kanger comes out with something that can compare to aspire tanks. saw a video of the comparison with the aspire atlantis and kanger subtank, the subtank works as good as the atlantis but i would say the atlantis produces a lil better vapor.

The Subtank has the rebuildable advantage... I think that may be a new trend if it works out well.

While the tank capacity is very good, I just can't figure why they made it a 25mm device. That really limits it's viability in my opinion. It will look hideous on a 22mm mech. Won't even work on a Hana mod, Cana mod (Cloupor), any of the DNA style box mods from Fasttech, Hcigar box mod, or any box mod with a juice well that is recessed and has a smaller well than 25mm (which just about all are). Why couldn't Kanger just have tapered to 23mm at the bottom so it would fit in the juice well of typical box mods so at least it could make contact with the 510 pin? This really limits who they can market to and who can even use this device. I'm at a loss for this decision.

The good news is these coils are backward compatible to most of their previous full size tanks including the entire full size Aerotank line. Hopefully they will be able to provide enough airflow to get a decent vape from these coils.This should breathe a bit of new life into these olders tanks, and that's great. I will definitely try in my Aerotank Mega. But I'm just really surprised at this marketing decision. Kanger must know what they are doing, maybe they have some more surprises on the way that will make sense of this.

It has a 25mm to 22mm reducer on the bottom that works for me on my Sigilei 20 with a SS 26650 Tube from VariTube. It will not be top heavy,thats the Mod I use for my Full Russian

Novelty use I figure.
If I want a no fuss tank I'll buy one. If I want a RTA I'll buy one. Combining into one doesn't serve any purpose. If I wanted the convience of just slapping in a new coil when out but wanted to rebuild. I would buy 3 RTA's (orchid in my case) build all three and carry the 2 extra decks with chimney in the glove box. Cost is still cheaper than the one Kanger. (From FT)

well we knew they were coming, glad i held off on the original subtank. 22mm looks like they made a lot of improvements with the airflow, a much better rba coil(check out that center pin airflow hole. yes!), peek insulators, perfect size both width and height. great job, still think this should have come out first though lol this one is heading my way for sure, exactly what i wanted to see
