Has anyone seen this yet? It looks kind of nice but it's at a good price right now. But does the thing have a usb charger built in? I can't find it listed

How bout that Aspire A Box?...
Sorry couldn't resist
You know everyone would call it their A Box Aspire. nautilus Aspire drives me up the wall, lol.
I guess this is intended to be a cheap and easy box mod for novice users looking to try a SubTank. It seems to accomplish it's goal in that regard. For those who require something more advanced, fortunately Kanger said this is just their first and more models are coming.
Fair enough, but they could have just pulled an Aspire and released an Ego+1/protected mech hybrid like the CF sub ohm. I could see even having a spinner on the bottom with a wattage adjustment a la CLK sport. But this is just strange as a product.
Why wouldn't you want to put your best foot forward as a company with the reputation that Kanger has? Heck, they could have sub-contracted out custom order with Innokin or something and had a really great little mod for not a lot of money.
Having said all that, if it had a screen and full adjustability, I'd really, really like it. I think it's quite sharp. I have a charger, so removing batteries to charge is no big thing for me. Maybe for v2, they'll have Innokin make it with tweaked MVP3 guts in it. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Because then everyone would be going "Oh gawds, look at how they're copying Aspire!"
Honestly, that doesn't look like a bad beginner's piece to me.
And Aspire was just copying Joyetech with their updated take on Ego batteries. There's only so many ways to skin the battery cat. 
I don't disagree. It doesn't seem bad, it just seems that extending the design meeting for another five seconds would have made it a whole lot better. And, if you're into simple mods and your preference in power settings are covered, it's a great piece for you. I know I need resolution down to 1 watt. Some of my rigs and juices change a lot in a watt.

The only thing that would save this device, for me anyway, is if it turned out to be freakishly durable. Like VTR-tier.
The market is full of 18650 battery mods. This would rock for me with a 26650 battery, temperature control, and like Signmaker said, the durability of a VTR. I like the simple no menu control.
My only problem with 26650s is that darned 26mm diameter of the cell, lol. When planning an as of yet unbuilt box mod, 26650s were my first thought for a single battery box.
Fat chance of that, the VTR is a heavy solid device and this one looks like it will be thin and light. I could be wrong but I don't think I am.
This device imo would be better if they put a screen on it to determine battery level and ohms.
Guys, it's probably less than $20 wholesale (sans battery). It is what it is, Kanger just needs something Kanger-branded to drive their Subtank line as a regulated, no-muss, no-fuss kit. This will sell well in B&M shops. There is a market for simplicity. And the market for "advanced" personal vaporizers is pretty well saturated.
It is weird how Kanger pretested their tanks and Innokin didn't. I never got a good vape off the I30 dual coil that came with my VTR. I try like hell to make it work and the coils died out 2 months.
The real question is what do you want. temperature control can let you set a mod to 200w and let you enjoy the vape. The Innokin mpv2 did that and it went over Phils head for a number of reviews. After all, a MPV goes all the way up to 11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOO5S4vxi0o
Got one in vapemail for 34$ beginning of the week. I've been using it with my Kayfun lite clones, Aspire Nautilus, Kayfun 4 clones, etc. etc. The step on the size (25 to 22mm tank) doesn't really bother me. I actually like the simplified controls, although as other's have pointed out, if you're mouth to lunging it, the wattage steps would be nice to have more steps on the 8-20W range (only three, 8,13,20). I built 1.2-1.6ohm coils, so 20 is really pushing it for most of them and my 50/50 juices.
I have a Kato Square box clone (18650 size), and a VTR, the kbox is nice and light, has step down(?! that was a pleasant surprise) and the fire button is nice and clicky and responsive not to squishy. Really a great device for the money.
I'll have to build some lower ohm coils to try out the higher wattages. The battery cap/screw has a spring that digs into the battery contact and spins it as you close it down and is TIGHT and fights you. As with my other mods (Seven 20 had the same issue), after a bit of wear in/use, this will ease off I'm sure. I could probably sand off the tip of the wire/spring/coil to smooth it to ease it off earlier, but it's not really a big issue (again for a box mod for this price).
Overall, really happy with the form factor and how it's been working (flawless), for the last week. I'll see how it holds up.
And having just led's for battery (7 of them that run down as a gauge for battery voltage) and wattage selection is nice and easy. I have a bit of menu fatigue from all my other box, tube mods with different navigation and views, honestly.

Can you inform, how fast this box mod charge its 18650 ? How many amps output for charging the battery ?
Thanksss
