SXK BILLET BOX - Reviews & Discussions

No idea I've never used the kanger rba
I do not know the EXO and would also like to know how it compares. The Insider has an more open draw than the STB RBA although the RBA's draw changes according to build. I have a feeling the EXO is a tighter draw than the Insider but would like to have that confirmed.
 
So my BB is on the way and I chated with somebody at work who gave me a few negative pointers that I think was purely out of jelous nastiness. But I would like to have a second or third opinion from the pro's here.

Firstly, is the Samsung 30Q (pink one) battery compattible with the BB?

And is a prebuilt 0.26 ohm framed clapton coil compatible with the exocet?

The person said the battery will explode. Another person said that because its a regulated mod I will be fine. So I'm a bit worried now. I can get a new battery and coils if needed.

30Qs are perfect. I use either 30Qs or HG2s all the time. Whoever said that is an idiot :p

Personally I would not use such a low resistance coil in a BB. It will work but I find the vape too hot and the battery life too low for my liking.
I usually target 0.6 to 0.9 when building BB coils. That is just my personal preference.

Which atty are you gonna use for the BB? Exocet?

Yes I got the exocet purely based on reviews. This will be a step into the unknown for me. So I would like to get it right.

Exocet is a wonderful choice for the BB. Have a look here at my recent build:

That should help prepare you for the build process.
What wire do you have to work with for the coils?
 
I order these to fill up my order and get to free shipping

But i can get some wire from a local vendor and use those once I get my RBA for my current mod.
Personally I would not recommend those coils for the BB.

Best wire locally available (in my opinion) is the GeekVape 30x3+38 Ni80:

Once we get local available of the VandyVape 30x2+38 Ni80, that would be my recommendation:

@Adephi - you did not mention the ID (internal diameter) of the coils either. Just note the recommended ID is 2.5mm.

So firstly I recommend getting a exo set or insider for your BB.
There is no way you are going to fit those coils into the Kanger rba.
Along with the exo or insider get yourself a spool of this wire and build a coil with either a 2.5 for the exo or 3 mm id for the insider
You want to aim for something around the .50 to .60 ohm with the BB
looking at some thing below for the exo

Hi @Adephi, you can also buy wire and make your own plain round wire coils. I personally just use plain Kanthal wire 26 or 28 gauge and get a very satisfying out of them.

Its an option you may also want to consider.

Thanks for the help guys. Think I will go to a local vendor to give me a hands on tutorial. And will get a toolkit and and some 26g wire. Just playing it safe for now.

Seeing as you are in Centurion I'd recommend you go chat to @Morne at Noonclouds. He will give you excellent guidance when it comes to building the Exocet. They should have the tools and coils you need for the job :)

I got the exocet from them. So will try to make an appointment with him then.
 
Just a matter of interest. What is the panels made of, on mine it almost looks like a carbon fibre composite, which i highly doubt and it feels too stiff to be plastic
 
Just for information.
I have found SXK Exocet's and Insiders at Vcorp vaping, and they seem to have enough stock.
Paid R300 for an Exo.

So my bad luck continues! Last night my BB decided to pack up on me. The second I put the battery in it starts ramping up the wattage on my display, almost like I'm holding the up button. The button still clicks so I'm thinking it's in the electrics. I'm now down to an old school setup (that still works perfectly after two years minus the notorious Kangertech paint job - Why does everything I buy lately have a 4 month lifespan!!!!)...

On the plus side, for me the Subtank outshines anything I have in the Subtank!

The best way to fix that problem is to remove the part covering the screen and give it a nice wipe down under the buttons and in the general area, the issue is normally caused by condensation. That usually helps
 
Oh no, @Stosta - so sorry to hear about the BB
Wish it can be fixed up
 
Worst thing is I look after my mods. They NEVER get dropped or anything.

I need to get on repainting my first little KBox ASAP, that little guy just won't quit! Or I need to get my hands on one of the old Evic Minis!
