Shocked I'm getting on so well with the VapeShell. I'm on the second from smallest airflow reducer and will probably rebuild it with the smallest one. It's a nice restricted lung but I with less airflow I can use less wattage

NI80 30/36g fused clapton, 8 wrap, 2.5mm ID, 0.83 ohms at 21 watts.

Thought about picking one up myself. Got the euc in one and Nautilus is another. Might like another rba

FYI, the difference between the clone and the authentic is night and day. I had all kinds of issues with dry hits on the SXK version, but none with this one

Timascus set arrived today. I love the look and feel. Super happy with it!

I also put the smallest reducer in the VapeShell and put a spaced version of my last coil and threw in an extra wrap. Comes out to 0.92 and I'm vaping it at 16 watts as a looser MTL. GREAT flavor!

Now I have to decide between frosted clear, matte black, or matte gray studded panels from @troydestroy...

Don't they have a 0.8mm reducer too? The Indider MTL was still too loose a draw for me but I think I need a rba type bridge just in case I run out of EUC coils (I'm down to 11 packs now). Curious to hear how you get along with it, how does the draw compare to the MF bridge/ 1.3 ohm EUC ?

There is a set of MTL reducers but you have to purchase them seperately. The smallest included reducer is definitely not going to work for you, Brew. I'd say it has about 1.5 to 2 times as much air as the 1.3 ohm EUCs.

I guess I'll have to see reviews of the Bowcaster (I think that was it's name) before I decide, either way it'll be a chunk a change.

EDIT: Star Wars was getting to me...it is actually the Crossbow by Swiss Vape Tecnologies , supposed to be a real MTL bridge for BB. Unfortunately it sells on FB:cry::gaah::cuss2:

Just imagine in January when all the BB fanatics will be trading and selling their pimped out BBs for 2019 versions, and whatever their new engraving might be. Just so they can post pics on FB of the new new (same) new ;)

Although I think it will be February when this happens.

I came to the startling conclusion that the SXK boro tanks are crappy! I'm not sure if the tank itself is at fault or just the little red gasket thingamadoodad but the little f**kers tend to seep no matter how much I clean them. I have to wait for the next sale at BBV and get a few boro tanks and maintenance kits from them. Id any of you guys sees a Crosbow in the BB groups on FB, please give a shout!

They suck no doubt.

The authentic ones I had never had issue, the clones were another story.

There was one yesterday but it lasted all of five minutes. Dude claimed RRP is $175, but right on the SVT website it says €119 which is about $135. Hope whoever got it didn't pay that much.

Broke down and ordered an sxk dna 60 BB from gas city today. I tried to hold out for the last minute Christmas sales but I’m not that good at waiting.


Carpe Nidor
Congrats! What color did you get?

Picked this up today for $50 shipped. That was just for the inner panel set and button. The ultem drip plug, battery wraps, and Desce pouch are all thrown in for free! Now I just gotta get my panels from troydestroy and my BB will be complete

Good decision, they don't last very long on the shelves.

I picked a black. JWraps has a couple of wraps that I want for it and the black is the best match. Now to start my search for the right drip tips to match.

For tips, you could go with the JMK hybrid ones that take the place of the 510 altogether. They only come in brass or stainless though.
The other good option is the Nolli Designs Billet Key. It's a 510 with little notches that fit into the 510 nut turning it into a faux hybrid tip.
Matching buttons are fun too!

Sorry, I just get excited to share my wealth of useless knowledge to somehow make it less useless... I didn't even tell him about troydestroy's panels. Oops...

The worst part is that I don't even have that much gear compared to a lot of others. I'm just constantly looking at it!

Well, you don't keep them , I do! I have a Li'l Pinch mech squonk I bought a couple of years ago when I caught the Nupping bug that I don't use but it is a beauty so I keep it. Same with the three SV squonks and the Radius. Now I just bought a Provi 2.5 Dragon NIB.

Haha yeah I've bought and sold a lot over the past couple years. Although I have a literal drawer full of clone tanks and drippers from when I used to have orders coming from FT every other week trying to chase the perfect vape. . Should probably get rid of them honestly.
