SXK BILLET BOX - Reviews & Discussions

[GerritVisagie]

So I made what I think to be an interesting discovery today.
If you get gurgling with the Exocet, I find its basically your wicking, where it goes through the Topcap.
There's enough wicking to prevent leaking, but not enough to prevent liquid from sneaking into the chamber when you take a hit.
My suggestion, fluff the wicking as much as possible before you put the Topcap on, then fluff it again on the outside.
Also, stay away from 2mm id coils, they can't handle that much wicking.
If you want 2mm coils, you have to pack them very tight to have enough wick to prevent the gargle.

Anyone have any different solutions? Or can anyone confirm my findings?

It's been sorted out on the later sxk versions to mirror the authentic

I concur. I use 2mm ID alien coils though with no issues now... but in the start I used to get a bit of a gurgle and lots of condensation. I now use the Amir technique which involves a lot of fluffing... much more than you would think is normal. It makes for a nice, wet, saturated, dense and flavor heavy vape

Yeah buddi!
Enjoy, and share your experiences

Thanks. I'm definitely enjoying it!

The only problem that I'm having with the device so far is that it is probably gonna make me get rid of some of my current hardware as it will just end up not being used anymore :|
*looking at my almost brand new Ammit 25
*looking at my newish Stick v8

Seriously though, the purpose of this device was to have a Portable + Tank and it does that amazingly well. I had my proper first night out with it last night and it does exactly what it needs to do. It fits in my pocket (comfortably!). Holds enough juice. Has enough battery life. And most importantly provides a flavorful vape.

That is the problem.
I needed something I can take to "Site", harsh dusty conditions.. RDAs don't work, too much dust. Tanks won't work, possibility of breaking the glass. So, bbox.
And now, only time I vape my others are at home.

Likewise... as soon as I get around to it I need to clean up and clean out some unused gear.

Do I need a second BB?
Please don't actually answer that question. Asking nicely here

 

[Amy]

The newer SXK BB's are fine with panels. There is a very small gab but not noticeable.

Thanks @Rob Fisher I will be looking out for panels that would probably be more expensive than my SXK BB.

@Amy, if I am not mistaken, SXK is going to release a nice variety of panels

You need a second boro tank with maybe an insider or any other RBA besides the Exocet that you already have. That way you can decide if you want to stay with one BB and spare boro or do like it so much you wanna put a BB on it.
Next question please

You are not mistaken... but you are patient... so when they do release it you wouldn't mind waiting for it... Amy on the other hand might be wanting something fast fast...

I did manage to snag an ultem sxk set of panels for the tarnish brown and a fraction of the price of the Odis authentic ones. Not that I have anything against authentics or clones but I have this thing about dressing a swine in pearls kinda vibe bouncing around in my head.

Well you already sorted me out with the second boro tank (thanks again for that!) so I'll likely get an Insider somewhere down the line once I feel comfortable with the Exocet

Hey guys!

Tomorrow my SXK Billet Box will be arriving from SirVape. I bought a couple of SSOC Clapton Coils to use for the time being, while I do some research on whether I should get the Insider or Exocet.

I just have a question for you all, which do you prefer more in terms of coil building and wicking - the Insider or Exocet? Also which would produce the most airflow?

Next thing, the SXK only got released in Black and the Tarnished Brown. I'm getting the black one and would like to customise it, so that it looks different to everyone elses. Besides the panels available at SirVape, where else could I get panels that would work on the SXK? I'm looking at getting some stabilized wood panels...

Looking forward to what everyone has to say.

Cheers Everyone!

The Insider has more airflow. It comes with 2 chimneys as well for different airflow options. I prefer it to the Exocet.
Building the insider isn't hard, but the exocet is easier.

Has anyone got a preference between the DNA60 board or the 70w no DNA? I see Noonclouds has the DNA60

Well depends on price, I guess. DNA being preferred. There really is no reason to ever go above 40W on the BB, to be honest. In fact, I run on 23W at the moment, highest I've gone is 28W.

From what I've heard, no first hand experience, the DNA chip is more efficient. Although I don't see any major draw card on the DNA because you are not able to link it to escribe software
