Just got my Kanger Subox in white..

[PinkyPuff]

I think is Stainless steel with ceramic coating letsavit if that's any help.

Yes I agree it feels like metal covered in ceramic coating.

I think it will last, however I think the finish will require protection. I got a couple of scuffs on the tank from a penny that was sneakily hiding in my pocket!

I don't think the coating would crack or flake without some serious impact like dropping it however because it is white, any contact with anything that isn't soft will leave marks like you've drawn on it in pencil. I'm sure they can be buffed off but I really want a case for the body and for the tank if I can get one!!

Buy something you like the look of then cover it up? Cases baffle me.

[xantivenxm]

Lol I just want to protect it and prevent scuffs. It would be clear if I could get it

[sleedale]

Perpetua and everyone else who has said how wonderful these are.....my wishing and wanting has turned into icon_shoppingm

Subox, coils, Sony VCT 4s, battery case

As I said icon_shoppingm

However too late now

sleedale I can recoil the occ heads should you need it. Thumbs knackered at the moment but should be back in use by the end of the week

[sleedale]

prr many thanks, I will be calling on your skills once you are completely, fully and happily recovered. I can do a fairly poor job on the deck (first attempt but at least it vapers) but the OCC heads look waaaaay beyond me. Protank coils I can do, but these are very different.

[prr]

No problem at all sleedale, actually they are easier than protank heads!

[xantivenxm]

The occ coils can be rebuilt? Without using the rba head?

I might just watch a few vids and take one apart, then send the mess I make to you   To do properly.

[prr]

Yep, take the bottom pin out, pull out the silicone bung, push a small screwdriver out from the base of the head which will remove the old coil and wicking.

Make the new coil and insert from the top,until both legs come out of the bottom of the head. Move the coil up or down until you can see it through the holes and the coil is in lime with both holes. Insert a drill bit or small screwdriver through the hole and then through the coil so it comes out the opposite hole, thus holding it in place.

Slip the silicone grommet over one leg and push the grommet into the head, put the metal bottom pin back in, thread your wicking material through the hole and the coil and out through the other hole, fluff it up so that both holes are completely full, snip of about a couple of mm outside each hole.

Trim the excess legs of very flush to the base of the head, job done! xantivenxm

Hmm prr that sounds simple enough!!!

I am interested to know if you've done the new style occ coils that come in the subox kit - where the coil is vertical? I was actually thinking of using the included RBA and trying to make a vertical coil... hmm...

This will work on the older horizontal coiled heads BUT The subox kit comes with the new improved vertical coils

[prr]

Thanks for pointing that out, in had no idea that they had gone to a vertical coil cigeliquid. Vertical coils are a sod to do but possible if there is enough room in the head to prevent shorting.

Vertical coils are a problem to rebuild prr. I tried once, and failed. I will have to try again. I think I might need to if the Subox only takes vertical coils. Anyone know?
