Skull Kandy Designs. They make some squonkers too. Known to be somewhat "budget" quality 3D printing.Has anyone heard of SKD? Just wondering if these will be ok with SXK and or BB?

Maybe their quality has gotten better? It's been a couple years since I check out any of their stuff
I don't have anything else to compare them toMaybe their quality has gotten better? It's been a couple years since I check out any of their stuff
Maybe green and gold. The Black Hole will become the Guacamole Bowl.Raiders will end up changing their name in a few years and adapt the Vegas Knights Colors
Maybe they can revisit the Señors name again in Vegas
Thanks for the heads up, but for now (at least) it's Sebenza 31 or bust! This past weekend I was at a two day conference at the Pechanga Resort! It was rough....but I still have enough for the Seb!@BrewBear
CCKS will have these, but you have to reserve one via Recon1

Since you like flippers, this is a full auto and CA legal.
Probably can pick one up there, but table price might be a lil higher... assuming this part, since you can still sign up to reserve one

How about this? https://kershawguy.com/products-page/california-legal-to-carry/kershaw-launch-4-california-legal-automatic-knife-1-9″-olive-7500olblk-olive/
Okay. I'm going to regret this, but....I have some questions. Totally lack any BB knowledge.
1. So authentic vs. SXK clone. How would/did you start out? I could probably swing an authentic but what if I don't like it? Should I get my whistle wet with the SXK? I always heard that it was impossible to find new stock on BB but there's quite a few listed now. Any recommendations? No, forget that last one. I've been reading this thread enough to have a feel for you guys.
Get the SXK + Xeta Clones save your cash
2. Doesn't the lack of USB port on the authentic bother you? No eScribe? Don't need it? I have 2 LV DNA250Cs and use eScribe.
Only matters really if you're attempting TC
3. What do I need to start out? I'm comfortable building, I primarily vape DTL (mechs, squonks, drippers) but have and enjoy several MTLs. Does the SXK come with enough to get started down this hole? What are must haves?
SXK+Xeta
Be gentile with me.
Thanks. And I edited my post...gentle, not gentile. I know the BB world is like a religious cult, but not that religious.

Here's my 2¢ to get started in Billet territory:Thanks. And I edited my post...gentle, not gentile. I know the BB world is like a religious cult, but not that religious.
Don't forget the SXK also comes with the Kanger RBA.I've never had an SXK but it only comes with bridges for premade coils.
You do, but we'll let it slide since you're one of the group!I hope I'm not sounding the wrong way.
I only tried TC with my SXKUSBBB with the MF Bridge and 1.4ohm Drizzle coils. Didn't work for beans. Could've tried it in an RBA but it works well enough for me in wattage mode so I didn't bother.Don't forget the SXK also comes with the Kanger RBA.
With me, the USB thing is in part the mental quirk of a computer guy. I can't stand the thought of having a device with the capabilities of Evolv circuits and not being able to get to them. Especially for that much money. Honestly, if all that was available was a DNA BB without Escribe, I wouldn't want one. Again, I'm not trying to be offensive or to disparage BBV or authentic owners at all. That's just the way my head works.
Also though, I am getting good TC outta mine. As long as you have a solid connection with consistent resistance sampling, it works fine. At least for me. And, not having a good connection with consistent resistance sampling is a problem beyond just TC.
I hope I'm not sounding the wrong way.
I thought the 1.4 ohm coils were Kanthal. I tried them too, not in TC and they kinda sucked so I went back to the 1.3 ohm coil.MF Bridge and 1.4ohm Drizzle coils
Whoops! I meant the 1.3 ohm jobbers. Those are SS right?I thought the 1.4 ohm coils were Kanthal. I tried them too, not in TC and they kinda sucked so I went back to the 1.3 ohm coil.
If you have any more questions after they arrive we're happy to help!Thanks for all the replies. I ordered an SXKUSBBB and the SXK Haku Xeta RBA from 3F. Great timing, they have a Halloween voucher for the BB, knocking $29.01 off the $129.00 price, so $120 for both shipped. Both 24hr ship.
I'll be lurking....
I stand corrected, have only glanced at them.Don't forget the SXK also comes with the Kanger RBA.

Sorry I can only be honest.You do, but we'll let it slide since you're one of the group!
You'll find we are generally a pretty easy going group around here.
Yes they are, and a fairly good vape too!Whoops! I meant the 1.3 ohm jobbers. Those are SS right?
Honesty is good, no need to be sorry for that.Sorry I can only be honest.
Lurk away but don't be afraid to participate too. You'll see we are a helpful bunch and if you looked in the previous pages you'd see we go off the beaten path and diverge in various interests but eventually we get back on track.I'll be lurking....
Thanks. I went back a ways in the thread so have a good feel for the atmosphere here. Very helpful group. I'll be posting.Yes they are, and a fairly good vape too!

I am by no means an expert on BB's, but here's my 2 cents.Thanks. I went back a ways in the thread so have a good feel for the atmosphere here. Very helpful group. I'll be posting.
Thanks, appreciate all the advice I can get. And no problem with the rabbit hole. I dive right in head first.I am by no means an expert on BB's, but here's my 2 cents.
Lube the o-ring on the boro right away, this will make things a lot easier for you, trust me on that one.
I found the battery contact on the top of the sxk version to be way too tight. You can try to gently bend it up if yours is or even better there are two screws on the other side that allow you to remove and adjust it.
I'd pick up some condensation plugs, they're cheap and handy. I worried less about condensation in the authentic because they have a proper seal around the cover for the board, I'm pretty sure the sxk doesn't, maybe a more experienced user will chime in on this one. Avoid tank leaks for this reason as well.
Oh and enjoy! They're a great mod, great vape and a very deep rabbit hole
I also could be wrong about this, but I think you're referring to the lacquer seal on the Evolv board, which if it's the case is also true of the SXK DNA, but not of the SXK 70 watt. I think.the authentic because they have a proper seal around the cover for the board, I'm pretty sure the sxk doesn't,
The only seal I found on the BB vs. SXK is the one under the chip/screen cover. SXK has a tendency to pee liquid when used with their boro tanks (in my experience ). They all have a bit of condensation and a piece of tissue paper between the case and the back of the boro tank is helpful when trying to remove the tank.I also could be wrong about this, but I think you're referring to the lacquer seal on the Evolv board, which if it's the case is also true of the SXK DNA, but not of the SXK 70 watt.

I thought about doing that but was told the spares kit from BBV would isnt compatible with the SXK boros.I can't say for sure... but I don't think there is much difference in the boros themselves...
BUT
The gaskets and o-rings are for sure subpar on the SXKs...
Curious to know if anyone has tried the spares kit on the SXK if it made any improvement?
I exlcusively run SXK boros in my authentic BB. They're definitely cross compatible. I seem to have good luck with them for some reason... my recommendation of the authentic is based on your being new to BB thing and I figured it would help to not have any additional frustrations you might encounterSo here I go....down the hole.
Should I go ahead and buy an authentic boro tank from BB and save the grief or is it something I just live with for awhile?
BB lists an R4 Boro for $32. Worth it? Fit the SXK?
I have some of those on the way. Should be here this week. The black boro gasket kits. I'll post how they are.I can't say for sure... but I don't think there is much difference in the boros themselves...

The only things that are not cross compatible are the 510 keys and the internal screws. Don't ask me why. It would have been trivial to make those work too.I exlcusively run SXK boros in my authentic BB. They're definitely cross compatible.
