SXK BILLET BOX - Reviews & Discussions

[Rob Fisher]

Thank you all. This is definitely on my list then. Sounds like it ticks all the boxes I like ticked.

If anyone has both, is the Exocet's draw similar to the OL16 or Cyclops?
I like restricted Lung hitting, but not too restricted.

What I'm asking is, can you definitely DLH? without going blue in the face

Yes you can.

Sounds perfect then. Thank you all.

But....it has electronics, which you break all the time - by just looking at it!!! Other than that, a great mod.

Agreed @Andre
I suppose one needs a mechanical backup device for when the electronics decides to go on the blink
So far so good on mine but its young still

Mind you my little iStick20 and iStick50 have gone flawlessly for years, electronics wise. I am quite careful with them but the istick20 (evod driver) has taken several falls and it still chugs along.

@rogue zombie I have both the BB and the OL16(on a reo) and like @Silver said both is a restricted lung hit but not to restricted. I enjoy the vape from both and they both have their own space in my daily vape. I know you will not be disappointed from the vape you get from it.

Heaven forbid it ever happens, but in case the board does malfunction, the BB design can very easily be converted into a mech mod.

I am not sure if i should ask this bit does that method require the following tool?

Give that man a bells.

And some duct tape.

He is off to save another not allowed to move part with duct tape.

Lmao... My reputation precedes me

But that's why I'll never sell the Reo. If all fails (I break it), then there's the Reo.

Good morning vapers.

I want to know has any of the owers here changed the button on the sxk bb?

If you did, where did you get buttons?
Was it easy to do?

Thanks

I picked up a button yesterday from @SAVapeGear. I would also be interested to know when we can get more buttons locally
I will post some pics of my button change shortly but its very very simple. Especially on the SXK that doesn't have the "Authentic" sticker.
Loosen the 4 torx screws holding the "button plate" (<- not sure what to call this).
Lift up, remove button, drop in new button, put the plate back, and replace screws.
Will post pics shortly

@antonherbst, before I post pics ... the authentic SS button did not fit on my SXK.
The authentic is a tad (0.5mm?) thicker and seems to be just a bit bigger in radius as well. It doesn't fit freely into the plate.

With that out of the way ... here are some pics for future reference:
The plate that needs removing:

4 allen screws removed:

Plate removed:

Buttons swopped out:

AGAIN, the button didn't fit, so the black button went back in.
Please keep this in mind when searching for replacement buttons for your SXK

Interesting.Sorry @TheV

But you know where that button is going to go.

No apologies required sir! I'm grateful that you were willing to help me out with the beautiful combo Thank you kindly!
Loving the tip on @RenaldoRheeder's BB at the moment btw

Indeed, the Green BB was not the final destination, so not a problem at all!

An absolute pleasure bud. I've learned so much from this community, I jump at the chance to try and give something back

 

[GerritVisagie]

So I'd the Auth buttons don't fit, can anyone print us colored buttons??
I can measure up my SXK button and make a drawing & 3d model of it.
Let me know all you 3d printer peeps

@GerritVisagie That is a killer idea, with the amount of SXK owners coming up, these and panels could be in the highest demand.

Awesome. Keep me posted bud.
As mentioned above... I also think there is a market for panels and buttons for the SXK BBs

We shall discuss this of air in more details later.

@kimbo has a 3d printing service and if I'm not mistaken has already printed and fitted a button to his sxk bb. There are also 3d door files online.

I also think that @hands can do a perfect drip tip and button combo for the sxk billet box.
