Need help with Box mod

Just bought a kanger subtank plus,I wanna find a good matching box mod for this tank.
I was thinking about sigelei tc 75 w or sigelei 100w.
Is this a good match or someone has a better suggestion?

The 75w will be enough to run that tank for sure. But something like the 100W or 150w TC would certainly be more versatile for suiting a variety of attys. You can run everything under the sun on the 150 TC, whereas the 75w would mostly be suitable for tank usage, or possibly some high resistance dripping. If you're convinced that the tank is all you're gonna want to use though, then the 75w TC would make a fine device for such a purpose :p

75w IPVD2 might be a contender. TC is always a good option...

I will definitely look at the IPVD2.
Reason I was asking all this is because I wanted to buy ipv4s for kanger subtank plus and the guy in the store told me it's dangerous. That's why I wanted to do a little research first.

Thank you for your help

101vape has them in stock, use the laborday10 coupon. The IPV4S is not dangerous for use with a subtank. The guy is full of beans.

Question is, do you need/want TC? if so, Ipvd2 or Sig150 tc , Ipv 4s are all quality devices. If not, might consider Istick 100w, and a few new models are coming out in a couple weeks like the Sparkle 100W or the Rofvape 150w. A ton of good choices out there under $80.00.

Question is, what are your goals? Just looking to quit smoking? or looking to chuck huge clouds? If it's the former, there's lots of inexpensive TC models that run 40-60 watts and have TC. The iStick 40w, the Cloupor mini TC, the evic mini TC, If youre a new vaper, and budget is a consideration, stick with something in that price range (25-40 bucks online). Nothing wrong with an IDP or a Sig 75 or 150W TC but those can get pricey
 
I'm not trying to quit smoking, I don't smoke for a while now.
I'm getting into vaping more and more.
I do have a little problem with PG and ego one mega that Im using can't handle high or max VG,that's why I got kanger subtank plus.maybe my next step it's gonna be dripping but I wanna go slow and learn.

As a owner of a Sigelei 75W TC, I have to make you aware of one minor issue. Sporadically, when pressing the fire button, it will not fire. In addition, although the device is fairly small, it is as heavy as my other dual 18650 devices (Sigelei 100 Plus, 150W, and IPV4S). Either one of those three, would be a better choice, then the Sigelei 75W.

Sounds like you made a good choice. I would however recommend, since you are still learning, one of the Sigelei mods with TC. You might not need TC right now, but as you learn, you may decide that you want it.

Sig 150 over the 75 for sure; especially if you dont have a good backup. that 150's battery life will last you all day and into the next with the kanger subtank.

Okay, a little more food for thought, the Sig 75w and the IPV D2 are both good contenders for the Subtank, but ... the Subtank Plus is a big tank and might make any of the smaller mods very top heavy!

Honestly, looking back I've never picked a mod based on the dimensions of an atomizer, also find the mod that will deliver what you want, and the tank/topper to fit the bill..... don't over think it, especially with subohm tanks.... the subtank plus may be to big for something but you will swap around and change atomizers exponentially more often than mods, if you start down the hobbyist route, and having 150w+ at your disposal will let you literally vape any way that you want; and, its a lot cheaper to get a subtank to match a mod than the other way around.

Agreed, I have not ever picked a mod based on the size of an atomizer either, but as I was re-reading the thread, it seemed to me that no matter how good the smaller mods are, the Subtank Plus is very large and heavy. I can see the potential for it to fall over very easily. @f1r3b1rd has a very good point, a dual battery mod will accommodate any atty easier than a smaller mod will.

That 150tc actually does look hot with the subtank plus though.... just found this in the Google. (it hurt to say that... not a fan of the kanger for personal reasons)

LOL! I understand that pain! I'm still using my Subtank Mini (original with updated build deck), and while it isn't great, it isn't bad. I really don't know what to replace it with, which is why I'm still using it. I think I want the Saucecode and the Crown, they both seem to fit the bill for what I need, but even if I could find them both, I can't afford them both.

My other tanks are Authentic Russian 3.1 style tanks. They are the BEST flavor producing tank I have ever owned. TC has actually breathed new life into them, .11 coils at 410 degrees is just amazing AND no dry hits! They are very dated though, and I am starting to want more airflow than they can provide.

Back on topic though, that Subtank Plus on the 150TC does look awesome!

Back off topic...because I think the OP would love it as a next step also....
I use the saucecode or the silo beast with triton 0.4 ohm coils at 50w or on the dna200 at 52w and 520°. Or on the sxmini at 50w in powerful mode
Normally I run an rta --I use the billow v2 at similar settings with a dual coil 24g 316 ss build or kanthal24g Kanthal or a Kf4 with 4s kit at 28w with a single 24g coil at 0.5ohm

Okay, since we are back off topic, how good is the flavor from the Saucecode? I'm a flavor chaser, not a cloud chaser. What's the airflow like on the KF4? I looked at them, but with all the parts in the deck section alone, I was a little put off.

The saucecode is good! Its another Atlantis spoof if you know what I mean. Between it and the silobeast, my vote is for the silo beast.
I have an eclipse from sov also, and the flavor from it is better than the other two but the airflow is to restrictive to really get the best put of the triton coils

The airflow on the kf4 is barely better than the 3.1 stock with the 4s kit it gets noticibly better. Really it's not my favorite, I only got it because I was out of options on things to run on my p3 which it is barely on, normally o have it on my dna30 as a quick errand type of thing when I need pocket friendly.
The parts are no big deal, you only deal with all of them when you're putting the 4s kit in after that you never have it apart that much.
In all honesty though, the aquav2 or aqua se are both light years better if you're a flavor chaser that likes airflow....but they are dual coil only.

I like RBA decks, which is why the Crown and Saucecode are at the top of my list. I looked at the Aqua yesterday at a local shop, they are trying to get rid of them, said they could make me a great deal on one. Seems no one wants them anymore since the advent of the Subtanks ... I don't really want a dual coil though, I like the singles.

Those rba decks fit in the silo beast just fine... Anything that would in an Atlantis works in it. The triton rba kit looks bad ass, it mimics the style of an Atlantis verticle coil rather than a tiny kayfun deck. And you get it separate for 10$ then can use it in anything that accepts Atlantis coils.
Its not just the subtanks that are pulling back the aqua but also the goblins and goliaths and that realm of RTAs they are basically an aqua on steroids.
More airflow, bigger juice channels, made to vape like an RDA, basically.
The aqua vapes more like a dual coil kayfun only with better flavor, airflow and juice flow. I have never had a dry hit on one. But they are like a halfway point between a goblin and kayfun., and when a newer vapor can get a goblin for under 40$ why get an aqua for 150$?
I prefer single coil for tc..or did, with the DNA 200 dual coil tc runs so much better!!! The cthulu2 is the next on my list though, loving the option of single or dual.

I haven't checked out the Silo Beast at all, but I actually got to check out the Triton RBA kit at a local shop. It is much more of a PITA than it looks. I have stayed away from the Aspire line for a LONG time because I had horrible experiences with their tanks early on. I had great luck with the Kangers back then, so I stuck with them even when the Subtank coils essentially killed my flavor. Once I switched to the RBA deck though, they became reasonably good. My Russians have been rock solid through everything though, if only they could be updated ... :(

You may like this..I have a v2 that I used for a while in tc mode on the dna40s;because the kf4 sucks for ni200.

I'm opposite ....I loathe kanger since the protanks ' box of dud coils', days. and I have zero desire for an rba deck, I use the subtanks pretty much as standbye, or for one dedicated flavor, normally I'm running an rta...guess I'm a little old school. lol

I do have a little problem with PG and ego one mega that Im using can't handle high or max VG,that's why I got kanger subtank plus.maybe my next step it's gonna be dripping but I wanna go slow and learn.

Max vg is all I use. I don't know about the plus or new coils but with the subtank mini I had couldn't handle the thick juice at all maybe 4 drags before dry hits. I love the tobeco supertank it's coils handle vg with no problem, can chain Vape all day long.

As for device I love my sigelei 150tc I owned 2 ipv mini2 and a ipv 4. They all quit working within 8 months

WOW, that looks pretty cool. Those air holes are massive! I can only imagine how it vapes.

I had GREAT success with the Protanks, once I learned how to rebuild them. The stock coils really sucked, but recoiled and wicked properly, the flavor was awesome. Sadly the Subtanks did not follow suit, the build deck is the only thing that salvaged them for me. I probably should go the RTA route exclusively, but it's cheaper to experiment with subtanks than it is with RBAs.

Not necessarily when you factor in maintenance cost and the cost of the less expensive rbas. Granted it all comes down to figuring out how you want the rba to perform and finding what matches.
And those huge airholes are misleading, it still comes down to the bottleneck at the post. it is substantially more than the 3.1; but, not at all what it least Looks like.... its closer to what you get from a lemo. Check the hole on the post under the coil

The maintenance cost on a subtank is almost nothing if you are using an RBA deck. Essentially it becomes the same maintenance cost as an RTA, wick and wire only. That is the reason I don't use pre-built coils and absolutely must have a deck with any subtank I own. I can afford to spend $25 or so on a Subtank that may only get used a couple times, I can't afford to spend $75+ on a good RBA that I might not end up using. So I read a lot, and research a lot, and put hands on gear in any shop I can find, and try and check everything out so that when it comes time for me to spend I have a pretty good idea of what I am getting into. The big problem is the speed at which things are coming out. Every time I think I have found the perfect product, a new one or improved one comes out and the cycle starts all over ... LOL!

The center hole may still be the bottleneck, but it looks like it's 2x or 3x the size of the 3.1!

At least that much bigger, probably more, I sold mine so I can't compare side by side.

Seriously though, I do need to find something better than my Subtank and faithful Russians. I might just start with a Lemo 2 and see how it goes from there ... especially since the Crown and Saucecode seem to be impossible to find right now.

I've been using a couple of subtank plus's on a couple of IPV4's for a few months. A good combination, in my opinion.

I'm glad you found something that works for you. Like I said earlier, the Subtank is just okay, better than anything else available when I got it, but now looking like it's time to move on for me.

If you do get the SauceCode RBA Kit or the SauceCode (comes with the RBA) itself, be careful with the negative post. I have both and recently build a coil and put it in the RBA Kit, in order to use it in my Triton. Just positioning the coil bent the negative post. I also read a review, were the post broke off. I still put the RBA in the Triton and it became THE flavor tank. However, the coil's legs need to go under the screws, which can be a PITA!

So properly built, the Saucecode RBA does fit in the Triton? If I can't find the tank, maybe I can just find the RBA and a Trition... Hmmm ....

@f1r3b1rd ... Eleaf Lemo or Melo? I thought the Melo took coils and the Lemo was the RTA. I don't have either, am I confused?

No worries! I was just confirming. I do tend to get confused on things sometimes as I don't have anything other than a Kanger SubTank, some Russian 3.1s, a couple RDAs and some Gennies ... Far too much other stuff out there to keep track of, and no cash to own it all!!! LOL

I use a variety of sub ohm tanks and an IPV D2 as my work mod. That being said the 75 watt max does limit your ability to run RDAs and some of the newer quad coil tanks.
