Good evening from England
I've read this entire thread as a precursor to getting my first bb. You lot seem well chilled and very knowledgeable and it's a pleasure to be here.
Got my sxk bronze 70w bb today with sck exocet ... Just built 24g ni80 7 wraps slightly spaced.2.5id around 0.33ohms but jumps a bit when firing. From what I've read that's OK right? Such an easy build and wicking seems fine. Using acid drop which is a fruity kiwi, grape and melon flavour with cool hit and I'm very impressed with flavour straight of the bat.
Anyway just wanted to say hello and thanks for having me.... Been vaping 5 years since my wife and I adopted our kids as I was a smoker before that and couldn't adopt if I smoked so vaping has helped me have a family.. Pretty cool imo.
Regards Dazza

Most welcome to the forum @Dazza. Good on you for kicking the stinky habit. Glad you are enjoying the bb. You might want to invest in a condensation plug for you bb. If the resistance jumps too much check if your post screws are well tightened or could be a loose post. Happy vaping.
Welcome @Dazza
You right, we’re definitely a chilled bunch here
I agree with @Andre about the post maybe being loose. I had that happen to me and it’s very annoying! But half a tighten later and all was good in the world again.
When you say it jumps a bit how much is a bit?
Let us know if you don’t come right and we’ll try help you troubleshoot some more.
Hi @Dazza
It depends on the juice and the power.
I am vaping lightly Coloured fruity menthol juices in my bb that are not hard on the wicks. So I get at least 40ml or about 10 tankfuls worth of vaping before I rewick.
Like @Silver says it depends on the juice you vape.
I personally just like vaping on a fresh wick so I rewick every second day at the least but that’s just because I’m a fresh cotton snob.
Welcome @Dazza and glad to hear you're enjoying the BB. The other thing that sometimes needs tightening when you get fluctuating resistance is the bottom pin of the Exocet - the positive post that makes contact with the mod. I just insert a small rod through the airflow hole of the Exo and rotate. Also check that you've tightened the top drip-tip screw/mount enough.
You're brave @Paul33
I love the Billet Box. I love the feel in the hand, the form factor and portability, battery life and the flavour I get from the Exocet. Its very good.
But for me the drawback is the schlepp in pitstopping. Its not a quick procedure and im always worried im going to mess something up with the o rings etc. So i vape juices that are light on the wicks - fruity menthols. They last in there for a long time with still great flavour. So i try keep pitstops to an infrequent occasion
only problem with that strategy is that im then even more nervous to pitstop it because i dont do it often. Lol.It’s not THAT much of a schlepp @SilverYou're brave @Paul33

Have you got a link for it @ShamZ?I see the new version is available. Anyone doing a group buy?
You know we all like new shiny toys
That silver one is lekker
If I'm not mistaken, those have been out for a while. Was released by SXK and all they added was the usb for charging. Not updates though.
I hear you on trying to get the Exocet threads to bite, they so tiny.
I used this earlier today for the first time:
And it worked like a dream with the Exocet @Silver
So much easier not having to have a second mod to use

Thats awesome @Paul33 !
so do you just screw in the Exocet on top?
Yip. Screw the thingymajig into the bb, push down the pin jobby then screw in the Exocet. Easy.
Hey guys, new member here! , just ordered a sxk billet box dna 60. Tired of dumping money on small devices that break or just are not good. I'm really into nic salt at the moment have not smoked in 2 months and I hope this billet box will be the device I been looking for. I love to build coils and fiddle. I take it I'll be using coils until I order some other rba. I'm getting the impression the kanger rba is not good at all I was hoping I could get away with that for a while. Well this forum should keep me busy while I wait for china to deliver . Thanks guys.
Welcome to the forum @Lidayz
Congrats on kicking the stinkies for 2 months!
I havent tried the kanger rba for the billet box but am using the exocet bridge. The billet box is a fantastic device - gives me great flavour with the exocet and is a superb form factor for portability.
Lots of helpful experienced members here so feel free to ask questions as you go along
Enjoy
Ok thanks. I'm still reading lol. I been looking for a forum where I wont get laughed at for a having a clone hahaha..I been searching for a all in one like this that I can rebuild and have options sounds like it will work out. I'll have to order the exocet. I run heavy equipment for work so this would be perfect . Thanks again
Most welcome to the forum. Congrats on kicking the stinky habit. The SXK BB comes with an Aspire Nautilus coil adapter, which works a charm. Their famous 1.6/1.8 ohm coil units should be good for nic salts or higher free base nic. I have been using these coils with 12 mg free base nic fruity juices to good effect for a long time now. For building your own, the Exocet is probably best.
