Hey guys! I got a Kangertech Topbox Mini couple weeks ago and love it. I haven't touched a cig since! I'm still a noob to the whole thing, though. I just got some OCC coils today and I'm not sure what "setting" to vape on, as in, should I vape in full power or temp control, and how do I know if it's nickel, stainless steal, or what?

What "settings" for Kanger OCC coils?

The box should say what material they are. If it's a nickel coil, the coil itself should say Ni. What resistance did you get?
Sounds like they're kanthal (the nickel coils that are used in TC only have a blue o ring around the bottom). If so they're used in power mode. Are they the round coils, or the square ones? Generally with either you start around 20 watts and work up till you get the flavor you want - back down if you get a slight burned taste. A quick google search indicates you have both a 0.5 ohm (kanthal) coil and a 0.15 ohm (ni200 coil). Be sure if you use the nickel coil that you use TC setting for Ni200! For those, again you could start around 400F and 20 watts. You will likely end up around 450F or so (or higher). The settings are generally written on the side of the coils.
Then they're kanthal. I seem to remember those will burn above around 25 watts (you can try it out and see what I mean).
Ah, must be the vertical coil and not the original horizontal coil?
I mainly use my Subtanks with the RBA's at around 25-30 watts. When I use the .5 coil I generally run it between 40-50 watts. Kanger also makes a .2 nichrome coil that I would avoid if I were you. I beleive they are rated up to 80 watts but anything above 60 gives me a burnt hit. The flavor has a very odd metallic taste and they tend to leak.
