REVIEWS Kangertech NEBOX Contents: • 1 x NEBOX • 1 x SSOCC 0.15 ohm installed (nickel with stainless steel coating for Temp Control) • 1 x SSOCC 0.5 ohm • 1 x removable drip tip • RBA pre-built coil x 2 • RBA Mini • Japanese cotton sheet • Authenticity code user guide • SSOCC caution card • User manual • Magic Blue Screwdriver • USB Cable • Battery stickers I ’ve been using the NEBOX on and off since November. At first glance, it seems that the Kangertech NEBOX offers everything to everyone. It comes exceedingly close to being the perfect piece of vaping equipment, but it is not without issues. The NEBOX comes with so many features it’s hard not to show it some appreciation. It was designed so it can be used by all vapers, from beginners to experienced vapers. The device features a hybrid tank which allows pre-built atomiser coils and also an RDA deck which allows you to build coils to your own preference. The hybrid tank is substantial and allows for 10ml of liquid to be stored, as this is part of the device which makes it exceptionally practical when keeping the device in your pocket. As the NEBOX is made from aluminium alloy, it is lightweight and the shape of the box fits easily into your hand making it easy to use. It comes in four distinct colours; red, white, blue and black, all of which are truly striking. All of the colours come with a black drip tip. The buttons on the NEBOX are on the front and recessed. There is a main trigger button and two smaller buttons to allow the wattage on the device to be altered to suit your tastes. The wattage on the device goes from 7W to 60W, which can be monitored easily by the large OLED display. The NEBOX runs off a single 18650 battery, which can be taken out and charged, but can also be charged though the USB cable. The device can use a variety of coils, but it has specifically designed vertical SSOCC coils, coming with 0.3 & 0.5 ohm ratings. The problems: My NEBOX leaks on a regular basis which can be a big annoyance, especially when it is in your pocket. After looking this up on the internet there are a number of different theories suggesting the reasons for this leakage. They also give the guidance on keeping the NEBOX laying flat on its side, or upside down when not in use. It seems to me that the NEBOX came so close to making the perfect device, but this really is a big spoiler for a product which has so much promise. Conclusion: The Kangertech NEBOX has so many plus points, that it’s a shame that the leaking issue has overshadowed what could have been the perfect vaping device. VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE ISSUE 03 143
