The old RBA works fine according to all the reviewers,the wicking looks easier on the new RBA ,it's a big improvement with the wicking holes on the side & no screwing down the chimney,just push it down & tighten the grub screw.

Vapemail this morning from Gearbest,black Subox Mini,first thing I tried the Delta 2 on it and works fine.
Early impressions are that its a nice bit of kit,buttons are a bit flimsy looking but apart from that its solid.

In that video I posted,maybe there is a fault with his Delta II,that is good news that yours work ok.

Just tried an Orchid and they all work well so no complaints there,510 pin is'nt spring loaded. Resistance readings of tanks seems accurate.
Have'nt tried the Subtank yet, RBA looks as if the chimney section is now held by a small screw which will make it a bit easier to disassemble as long as that screw is'nt lost,cant understank why they wouldnt put a knurled base on the rba, would have made it so much easier.

It seems you have the new updated RBA,we will just have to leave the RBA in the base when pulling the chimney off & rebuilding,when turning that grub screw,how many turns does it need to loosen the chimney.Here's that video again that shows the old & new RBA...

About one full turn and its off, didnt want to loosen it much more in case it fell out, large juice channels in this one so that'll make it easier to wick high vg juice

The new rba has the grub screw but no juice channels,it should have 2 wicking holes on the chimney,must be 3 versions of this.

Thank God for that. My V1 subtank is a hoor to wick for any juice with less than 50% pg.
Even tried the so-called Pancake wicking method. Only time I've ever had a leak.
Saw that some guys have drilled holes in them. Couldn't be parsed gnu. Think I'll just wait and buy the new rba head. Saw a clone on Fasttech.

Apologies,no juice channels,2 large wicking holes on the chimney is right,it's early and i'm kinda looking at it with one eye and that's only half open along with the brain only half awake also.:rolleyes:

I am amazed that Gearbest has the new RBA with the Subox,they must have sold the earlier version bluddy fast,that is a good thing for us:):)

The one you got was that from the flash sale ?

I don't think it was,ordered on 2nd of June and arrived today,cost was $48 using a code which I had at the time.
Nice mod,does what it should,battery cover is a little rattly and feels a little top heavy with a subtank on it as it is quite a small mod but i'm overall impressed with it.
RBA section is interesting,chimney secured to base by small screw,no juice channels on base,two large wicking holes on side of chimney,2 stock coils included 0.5 and 1.5,no spare glass tank this time though.

JH_raheny

3 weeks delivery, had hoped mine would arrive this week but guess I'll have to have a bit more patience

Dr Bill

Been vaping Nut Juice on the stock 0.5 coil on the subox all day and I have to admit I dont like it at all,flavour is dull and lifeless,now I have never had good experiences with Kanger stock coils even the standard subtank ones and this unfortunately is no different but I had expected better from this coil.
Will try the rba tomorrow and am expecting a huge improvement with a juice I am well familiar with in the rba's of the standard subtanks.

RainMakerToo

Looks like the subtank that comes with the subox is now available separately as the subtank V2

Still can't post a link though

Dr Bill

RBA section gives a much better vape for myself anyway,screw holding chimney section works well,just be careful not to loosen it too much,:)very happy with this setup.:)

How's battery life on it

Using it at a constant 25/30w since yesterday and still 2 bars on battery indicator so no complaints there.:)
Should also mention,use a flat top battery in it.

Just regarding the occ coils, I was going to order some there, but was unsure if I was buying the original ones or the new ones?

Any help appreciated? I know the new RBA has large holes on the side and the older one had smaller ones lower.

Was it the same with the disposables?

Didihno

Where were you buying the coils?

I had a quick look in gearbest. I had ordered some with the subbox mini from esi but they rang me to say they actually didn't have any of the 0.5 in stock, only 1.2.

I will buy from anyplace really. I just wanted to know if there is some way to differentiate them easily, or are they the same.

JH_raheny

Think fasttech are doing 5 for 8.75 still

JH_raheny

Just make sure to order the authentic ones

youdipstick

Refer to the coil instructions & not the user guide.

You got the email back from them saying your order was successful & your Paypal email showing the transaction.

Did you order a battery for it

JH_raheny

Got my black one today, must say I'm very impressed with the quality look/finish of it

moleyv

Yeah mine is going steady since I got it.

Only issue is sometimes with the five clicks for off.

The odd time it won't work until I wait for the screen to go off.

Once it just plain wouldn't work so I had to pop the battery.

I think I'm sold on plastic drip tips, they don't get manky after a day. I'll be replacing any others I have.

I think when initially watching reviews I was worried about the battery cover coming off. It never happened to me, the whole thing is just solid.
