SXK BILLET BOX - Reviews & Discussions

[GerritVisagie]

YES!
Just do a little maintenance, keep the condensation buildup to a minimum, wick it right, and make sure the positive pin is tight,
That all I have to do to make sure I have no issues.

@RenaldoRheeder, I would suggest, get the Exocet and the Insider. I personally prefer the Insider, I run them in three Billet Boxes. At least you have options.

That's a good idea. I also have both. I prefer the Exo for some reason. There's really no major difference between the two, apart from the insiders wicking, if you mess up by 1mm, it dry hits. But the Exo has a really annoying gargle if you get that wrong, but at least it's vapeable

Hey look at that, putting words to paper helped me figure out the reason....
So yeah, that's the reason I prefer the Exo

@Andre - quick out of the starting blocks there mate . Any words of encouragement maybe? You seem very convinced

I am, convinced that is. You really cannot beat the form factor of the BB. The Exocet is as easy as pie. The vape is great - I do airy MTL, many do restricted lung. Battery life is great. Not for high wattage, huge clouds - if that is your preferred vape.

You do get moisture/leakage from time to time, but it all stays inside and a quick wipe is all that is needed. Do get a condensation plug to keep the moisture below and around the tank.

Go for it!

EDIT: Tried the Insider, but could not get it right. Would love to try an authentic Exocet to compare, but they are very, very scarce.

OK - took the plunge this morning. Order placed for the SXK Billet Box, extra Boro, & Exocet. Will get that in September when I come to SA

Another quick question - I got the impression that a 3mm ID coil might be a tight fit on the Exocet - should I consider 2.5mm rather? I have not built coils yet - but have the equipment and some Haywire HWN Nichrome (round) 24 and 26 ga. Will this be OK or are there other suggestions?

Yes @RenaldoRheeder... 2.5mm coils for the Exocet.

@Rob Fisher - what resistance should I be aiming for?

For me anywhere between 0.4Ω to 0.6Ω is my happy place.

Maybe building coils will be my Sunday pastime today Thanks @Rob Fisher

I used to be a huge fan of 3mm ID coils and to some extent I still am. With regards to the Exocet though, the trade off between 2.5 and 3mm ID is very minimal. It has little to no impact on the difference in flavor. It does manage to restrict the already restricted airflow. Also, the hassle of squeezing in a 3mm ID vs just dropping in a 2.5 makes the 2.5 a better option for me personally. I've even gone as low as 2mm but that requires some skill to wick correctly and have no leaks.

Yip, as @Rob Fisher said - 2.5 mm. I use clapton wire, around 0.7 ohms. Still want to order some pre-rolled ones from @RiaanRed.
Consider getting another Exocet, then you will always have another full tank with another flavour at hand.

@Andre do it as far as the 2.5 Fused Claptons from Riaan... it's pretty much all I use in my Exocets, Flos and almost all my other RTA's... if I have space I will put in a 3mm into my bigger RTA's. I'm totally convinced that fancy Fused Claptons and Aliens do enhance the flavour. But only the well made local ones... the Chinese bulk fancy coils are crap and you are better off with Kidney Puncher Ni80 normal coils than any of these cheapie coils I have tried.

Hi guys, I've had the SXK for about a month now and been using it with the Exocet clone without problems. Today, my BB just started firing for no reason. It wouldn't stop until I took out the battery. Now when I replace the battery, the fire button doesn't work and the unit only fires when I press the wattage up/down button. The firing continues once I press the button and only stops when I remove the battery again. I'm also unable to actually change the wattage up or down. When I remove the atomizer, the same problem persists, only it shows "no atomizer" when I press wattage up and down. Fire button still doesn't work in that case either.

Anyone had this problem? Looks like I'll have to send it back, but just want to consult the experts before I do

Your fire button board is faulty.You would have to get it replaced.Speak to the vendor you bought it from.

Just thought I'd dump my BB experience (approx 2 months) so far here...
Only 2.5mm builds - normal round Ni80 24g has definitely produced better flavor than Haywire Flat Ni80 24g.
The Exocet has marginally better flavor than the Insider, but has produced some mysterious dry hit situations, especially with the flatwire.
Wicking the Insider, despite popular belief, has been a breeze for me - haven't had a single dry hit on it yet. But the flavor of XXX is more menthol than litchi in the Insider.
I like them both I guess - with exactly the same build, the Exocet wins marginally in the flavor dept, hasn't leaked a drop, but is a bit more finnicky getting the wicking right. The Insider has slightly less flavor, is hassle-free wicking, but leaks a tad on the refill.
Maybe, just maybe, I need to add an authentic Odis Flow into the equation now...

Hi Guys. Got the mine today and accidentally while playing around with the settings I turned the screen off and for the life of me cant get it back on. Shows system off and fires but cant get it back on.

Press 5 times to lock.
Press and hold the fire and down button for a few secs.

Hi @ettiennedj , if you have a DNA 40 or 60, as @Christos said, if you have the 75W Asmodus chip, In unlocked mode - hold the Fire and Down buttons to get into settings mode, move to any other adjust option except screen off,....Taste Adjust, Screen Rotate and select with fire button, this will cancel Screen off mode,...exit settings by double press on fire button

What a strange green I was hoping for a variant in green that had the look of the blue one ... if that makes any sense
