Nebox coil question

[twisted]

i just got the nebox and it came with two coils. They are listed as ssocc.15 and ssocc.5. The .15 has a blue ring is that the nickel one? It doesn't say anywhere on the coil or box that it's nickel. The .5 has a red ring is that just kanthal?

 

[AmandaD]

Yes, the one with the blue ring is Ni200, and the other one with the red ring is stainless steel (I think 'ss' in the 'occ' stands for stainless steel).

 

[twisted]

Yea that's what I figured the ssocc meant stainless steel. But the one with a blue ring also says ssocc on the box

It does? I missed that! But I do know it's the Ni200 coil So maybe the other coil isn't ss, but just has an ss housing?

 

[twisted]

Yea that's what I'm thinking

 

[AmandaD]

Sure looks like it's ss: http://www.kangeronline.com/products/kanger-nebox-red-starter-kit

 

[twisted]

Yea so the blue one is not nickel? I'm trying to figure out what mode to run this thing in

 

[AmandaD]

Yes, the blue one IS nickel! But start it low - apparently the TC doesn't work properly.

 

[twisted]

Now I'm reading the .5 is titanium coil. I just wish they would label things clearly

Where did you read that? I'm absolutely sure that's not the case.

No different websites that sell them

You can order different coils though. I just ordered some claptons from sweet vapes

All I saw on kangers is stainless steal occ. didn't see anything saying nickel or kanthal

It says 'preinstalled Ni200 coil'!

 

[twisted]

Oh didn't see that

 

[twisted]

Don't see nothing on the .5 would think it would be kanthal with the red ring

I already contacted Kanger. Waiting for a response.

Since there's only one correct answer for each type of atty coil, most of the information out there is wrong. Hopefully they'll reply soon.

Example of misinformation: One site will say a Ni200 SSOCC coil is nickel. Another will say stainless steel-coated nickel. Another says straight stainless.

 

[twisted]

Yea they are not clear on the box what they are. Amanda did find on there site the .15 is nickel but what is the .5 it has a different color band on it so probably not nickel

 

[AmandaD]

I found it in the literature in the box. One coil is Ni200, and the other is Nichrome.

 

[twisted]

I didn't see anything in the box that dates what they are. But then again I missed what kanger said on the website so I will have to look again

 

[twisted]

Nichrome you run in wattage right

 

[AmandaD]

Yes! The details about the coils are in the little instruction boook under 'specifications.'

 

[twisted]

God I miss a lot when I read need to slow down. It says ssocc (ni-cr/ni200). So the .5 is nichrome

 

[twisted]

Is the nebox firmware upgradable?

 

[AmandaD]

Is the nebox firmware upgradable?

Hmm, I don't think so. I think that's why people are so upset about the bad TC, because it'll likely be fixed in V2 only.

 

[twisted]

Yea I haven't found anything on it. I got a evic mini that is upgradable. My main plans for the nebox is wattage mode anyway

Mine too, which is why I didn't cancel my order!
