SXK BILLET BOX - Reviews & Discussions

@TheV Your wicking looks good, but I would really use a coil with less winds and rather space them slightly - a slightly spaced coil with plain round wire produces way more flavour IMO, esp in the Exocet. Maybe also try targeting a build of around 0.5 ohm. I've found the sweet spot (and I mean sweet!) with the Exo using a 2.5mm 24G Ni80 build of around 6/7 wraps slightly spaced - around 0.45 ohm
 
Sadly, no. @Constantbester has taken ownership of my BB this morning.
I'm playing the pleb game with my Ammit (on my new Rader) until I feel more experienced and capable.
:(
I must say, I find myself using the Skyline more than the BB these days (for the same type of juices). You must be the bringer of bad luck or something, because my BB was fine for quite a while until last night. Then I started losing the "chill" from my menthol juices suddenly. Put the same juice into the Skyline with the same heat flux and boom - instant chill.

THE BB HAS NO CHILL, MAN! IT HAS NO CHILL!

No but seriously, I don't know what's going on there. I'm beginning to wonder if there are some dud boards that just fire whatever the hell they want in terms of voltage, heh

On a brighter note, I did get my Hadaly yesterday - so that was a flavour experience of NOTE.

Well we wouldn't be Wet Wicks and Dry Hits if the above did not hold true?! :p

Seriously though, I've had probably the best flavor experience to date with the BB ... when I get it working.
It is such a disappointment when the flavor dies down like that though.

I need to stop reading positive things about the Skyline ... before I know it I'm gonna have one on order :|

Did you get an authentic or clone Hadaly?
As far as I've read the clone performs very close (if not exactly) to the authentic.
I had an clone Hadaly for a week. I sold it because I did not find it to be a usable experience when not at home.
In hindsight that was a bad call on my part. I think the Hadaly is one of the best drippers to have on your workbench.

The Coppervape Skyline (and soon the SXK) is at least very decently priced. Can buy about 3 for the price of 1x SXK BB, I guess.
I got the SXK Hadaly for now, couldn't find stock of the authentic locally (although I could've missed a few online shops, I didn't search for very long). With a squonker it should be fantastic.

I also could not find any authentics available locally when I purchased clone.
Speaking of squonkers, I'm waiting for one of these:

A super cheap clone to try out squonking (mech though).
 
Squonker + Hadaly = winner. Supposedly easy to over squonk so take a little time to learn. A fantastic experience

I've been keeping my eye on those for quite a while now.please let me know your findings, as I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on a purple one

I shall do :) It is a clone from 3fvape so it might be a while before I get it though.
 
dibs

If you ohms are jumping around resulting in dry hits use it in Mech mode. 27W on a .8 build seems to be a bit on the high side.
 
Hi all,

So I'm about to take the long awaited leap into the world of billet boxing!

Sorry if this is a question that has been asked but should I get the Exocet or insider deck? I'm looking for flavour flavour flavour!

Thanks in advance
 
I found this method worked best for me... also using spaced coil (not as spaced as in this video though). Never had a single dry-hit using this...

Do you have any leaking when re filling your Boro wicking it this way?
 
My experience is that they're pretty similair, but the Exo has the edge for flavour. Just get both and an extra boro tank ;)
Thanks for the advice, would you please write a signed letter explaining to my better half that it is of utmost importance I invest in both as food is not that important. We can enjoy baked beans and great vaping.

But on a serious note, the excitement for this new purchase is like buying my first mod!

If she (or he) needs that explained to them they are your worse half, not your better half :p

When I was faced with the task of choosing between the Exocet and the Insider I ended up with the Exocet because the general consensus seems that it is the easier of the 2 attys to wick.

She got me off the stinkies and into vaping world so better half no doubt, she didn't however foresee the costs of this new found love

Good on her. She has redeemed herself! ... and yes, that cost once the bug bites :D
 
Trying something at the moment with TC and SS316L. For what it's worth.

But...

1) How do you lock the resistance in temp control mode on the BB?
2) After selecting SS, you can then specify the TCR. Any idea what that should be?
Err
Oh yes
3) Spaced or contact coils for SS with TC?

Kinda ironic that my almost-first TC build is on a BB, but yknow. For science. If the Exocet wants to be fussy, we'll force it to behave. (It's not my wicking in this case, I can chain-vape it the one moment and 5 minutes later get a random dry hit from hell. All contacts secure and dry, etc. Happens once every couple of days or so, not often but enough to irritate the shit out of me)
Bumping this shamelessly and profusely. Like a savage.
But seriously. Any advice, fellas?
 
Nope, cannot lock resistance,
Tcr, I dunno, just set it to SS,
And I'd go contact coils.

But honestly, TC is a load of bs, rather stick to wattage mode.
