KangerTech SSOCC Replacement Coils

KangerTech SSOCC Coils

KangerTech SSOCC Coils are stainless steel replacement heads in four resistances from 0.2ohm to 1.5ohm, supplied in packs of 5 with organic cotton wicking. The name stands for Stainless Steel Organic Cotton Coil, and nichrome wire is used for the heating element. Sub-ohm draws are given by the 0.2ohm and 0.5ohm heads, and a tighter draw by the higher two.

The Subtank Mini, Subtank Nano, Subtank Plus, Toptank Mini, Toptank Nano and Nebox are all fitted with these heads. Each pack contains 5 coils of one resistance, and a worn head is replaced by hand.

What to Know About the SSOCC Coils

• 5 coil heads in every pack, all of one resistance
• Stainless steel body with organic cotton wicking and nichrome wire
• Four resistances: 0.2ohm, 0.5ohm, 1.2ohm and 1.5ohm
• Fits the Subtank Mini, Subtank Nano, Subtank Plus, Toptank Mini, Toptank Nano and Nebox
• Replacement heads only: no tank, device or e-liquid included

Features of KangerTech SSOCC Coils

A steel casing, a cotton wick and a nichrome wire are combined in the head, and power is drawn differently by each of the four resistances. 

Organic Cotton Wicking

Organic cotton carries e-liquid from the tank to the wire, so the wick has to be wet before the first draw. Flavour is kept clean while the head is fresh, and it is a wet wick that protects the wire. A muted or burnt taste is the usual sign that a change is due, and a spare pack makes that change a quick one.

Stainless Steel Body

The outer casing is made from stainless steel, which gives the SSOCC its name. Cotton and wire are held in position by the casing inside the tank base. Kanger also made an earlier OCC version of the head, and the SSOCC is the stainless steel update of that design.

Nichrome Heating Wire

Nichrome wire forms the heating element, and the nichrome versions are listed by Kanger for variable wattage use. A standard variable wattage device is therefore enough. Temperature control mode is not needed, which keeps the coils simple to run on any of the tanks listed further down.

Four Resistances

Resistance decides how much power the head draws from the battery. The 0.2ohm and 0.5ohm heads are sub-ohm and give a looser draw. The 1.2ohm and 1.5ohm heads sit above one ohm and give a tighter pull. Only one resistance is included in each pack of 5, so the pack is chosen to match the tank and the draw.

Subtank, Toptank and Nebox Fit

One head design serves several Kanger tanks. The Subtank Mini, Subtank Nano, Subtank Plus, Toptank Mini and Toptank Nano all take the SSOCC, as does the Nebox. A spare pack can therefore be moved between devices, provided each tank is on that list.

SSOCC Coil Resistance Options

Pirate Vapes stocks all 4 resistances, and each is sold as a pack of 5.

SSOCC Coil Options for Each Resistance

A slightly different setup is suited by each resistance, and the notes below cover how they compare. Wattage is best kept within the range Kanger recommends for the resistance in use.

0.2ohm: the lowest resistance in the range and the most demanding on the battery. A device with a healthy power output is needed, and the head is normally run on thicker liquid.

0.5ohm: a sub-ohm head with a mid-range load on the battery. It is the usual first choice for Kanger SSOCC 0.5ohm users who want a looser draw without going to the lowest resistance.

1.2ohm: a head above one ohm. It gives a tighter draw than the two sub-ohm heads and works with thinner e-liquid.

1.5ohm: the highest resistance offered and the tightest pull. Lower wattages are suited to it, and it is the closest of the four to a mouth-to-lung style.

How to Fit the SSOCC Coils

Fitting takes a few minutes. The steps below apply to every resistance, and the new head is left to soak before it is used.

Step 1: Switch the device off and remove the tank from the battery or mod.

Step 2: Take the tank apart following Kanger's layout for the model, and pour out any e-liquid left inside.

Step 3: Remove the old coil head from the base of the tank.

Step 4: Fit the new SSOCC head in the same position and check that it is seated firmly.

Step 5: Wet the exposed cotton with a little e-liquid so the wick is not dry at first use.

Step 6: Refill the tank and leave it upright for a short wait, so that the cotton can absorb the liquid.

Step 7: Reattach the tank and start on a low wattage, raising it gradually until the draw feels right.

What's in the SSOCC Coils Pack

Each pack holds replacement heads only, all of the same resistance.

• 5 SSOCC coil heads with organic cotton wicking

The tank, the battery or mod and the e-liquid are not included.

Devices Compatible With the SSOCC Coils

The Subtank Mini, Subtank Nano, Subtank Plus, Toptank Mini, Toptank Nano and Nebox are the devices these heads are listed for. Anyone searching for Kanger Subtank coils or Toptank Nano coils should match the tank name first, and a resistance is then picked.

The CLTANK is a different case, since it takes CLOCC heads rather than SSOCC ones. Pods and prefilled kits from other ranges are not covered either. Tanks are gathered in the Vape Tanks range, and the wider battery side is covered by Vape Mods.

About Kanger and the SSOCC Coil Line

Organic cotton has been the wicking idea behind Kanger heads since the OCC coil, and the SSOCC carries that idea into a stainless steel casing. The two share a purpose: a small, replaceable head that fits straight into a Subtank or Toptank base.

Because the head is a consumable part, it is designed to be changed regularly rather than cleaned, and Subtank Mini coils in the SSOCC form are one of the most common of those spares.

Stock Up on Spare Heads

A spare pack beside each tank means a burnt head never ends a session, and a second resistance covers a change of draw.

Tracked 24 dispatch happens on the day of ordering when the basket is paid for before 3:30pm from Monday to Friday, and weekend or bank holiday orders wait for the next working day. Larger baskets can be built from Multi-Buy Vapes, and checkout at Pirate Vapes is age-verified.

Conclusion

The KangerTech SSOCC Coils suit owners of Subtank, Toptank and Nebox hardware who want a like-for-like head, with four resistances to change the draw from the same tank. They are a spare part only, so the tank, the mod and the e-liquid are bought separately.

More spares are listed under Vape Accessories, and the rest of the catalogue can be browsed at Pirate Vapes. Hardware is sold to over-18s only.

FAQs

Which tanks do the KangerTech SSOCC Coils fit?

The KangerTech SSOCC Coils are listed for the Subtank Mini, Subtank Nano, Subtank Plus, Toptank Mini, Toptank Nano and Nebox. Tanks outside that list, including the CLTANK, use a different coil family.

What resistances do the KangerTech SSOCC Coils come in?

Four resistances are stocked: 0.2ohm, 0.5ohm, 1.2ohm and 1.5ohm. Each pack contains 5 heads of a single resistance, so the choice is made before the pack goes in the basket.

What does SSOCC stand for on these Kanger coils?

SSOCC stands for Stainless Steel Organic Cotton Coil. The stainless steel casing is what separates it from the earlier OCC head, while the organic cotton wick is shared by both.

Which resistance suits a Kanger SSOCC on a Subtank Nano?

All four resistances are accepted by the tank, so the choice depends on the device and the draw wanted. A looser sub-ohm draw is given by the 0.2ohm and 0.5ohm heads, while the 1.2ohm and 1.5ohm heads give a tighter one.

Do the KangerTech SSOCC Coils include a tank or e-liquid?

Neither is included. A pack holds 5 replacement heads and nothing else, so the tank, the battery or mod and the e-liquid are bought separately.

How often should the SSOCC Coils be changed?

Change time depends on how often the device is used and on the liquid in it. A muted flavour or a burnt taste is the usual sign that a fresh head is needed, and a spare pack keeps a tank running.
