BB ...why has it...

[domejunky]

Cheers, seems like good advice. To be honest, I know for certain i would pick up additional stuff for it anyway. So to put an exocet or a vapeshell in it, you need a different tank from the standard? Or maybe I’ve misunderstood...

I don’t have kayfun reducers but can easily roll one up out of mesh.

I’m thinking about it, anyway. Will hang off for a bit but I’ve just sold a few pieces of vinyl, once they arrive with the recipients and I know their happy I might use the takings to find one of these.

@Vapaneezer Scrooge , for someone who isn’t really interested in temp control, is the cheaper sxk board decent? All I need is for it to work in wattage more, but wondered if there have been any other problems with them, or are they pretty reliable? Just since it’s £20 cheaper.

I have a box of SXK boards that suggests they aren't reliable. For £20 get the Evolv board

Is that because of leakage or because its not a good board?

Various. A couple gave up for no reason. One the screen popped off. One burnt out quite obviously

These are BBs I've put Evolv boards in for other people. I have one SXK BB that I use on dog walks, and it's getting on for two years old

I used TC mode but I soon found out it wicks great so not much benefit in TC that I have found and mainly use Wattage mode now, one of the few mods I've not had a dry hit from, The SXK board I kinda preferred if I'm honest, hooking the DNA up to a PC is a pain in the ass, reliability wise I can't say as I haven't owned one long enough, but from what I've read it's mostly juice that kills the boards.

One last thing I thought of after my earlier post, this will kind of sound odd but the BB has almost become a hobby in itself with all the stuff you can do with it, not forgetting it vapes superb

Yeah, there's so much you can do to customise it. It could easily be a hobby in itself.

Hmm vapeshell or exocet...?

 

[zouzounaki]

People don’t recommend insider? Fasttech has only the vapeshell in stock, then. Exocet our of stock.

Vapeshell with MTL reducers. I have an Exocet clone around somewhere. You can have it if you like.

 

[rew]

Have the Insider clone as well. You can have that as well @zouzounaki

So I ordered the usb dna and a vapeshell, and also found some “kindbright reducer for billet box”. Someone in the discussion confirms they are for the sxk vapeshell. Go right down to 0.8mm. Only £3 so worth a gamble.

I ended up just using fasttech, it was only £3 more expensive and dhgate doesn’t seem to accept paypal. Fasttech was also where I found the reducers.

So let’s see what all the fuss is about... And I’ll have a look at your pin sealing thread @Vapaneezer Scrooge , cheers.
