I need gold innards. Canada right? Shipping is probably as much as the in stock plates
Yes Canada. I don't know for sure, but I don't think shipping is that bad. Others here can probably tell you. When I ship stuff I've sold on here to the south it's always right around $20 CAD ($15.50 USD)

He has gold SXK inners in stock right now and the new ones that are TRVP'd in gold and silver arriving soon.

Aww, come on! You know you need one! I mean, I'm tempted, I just don't do FB....
Nah. I'll wait until someone wants to sell in a BST group or something. VapeShell works great for me. Just picked up a clone to see if I can get it to work in my Bantam Box too.

Howdy all. I have been vaping for about 5 years now. I have burned through a lot of gear, and overall I like all styles of vaping, but I am a mtl'er by heart, it is definitely my love. I have a skx bb on the way per trade, with quite a few extras. I realize the extras are endless, but I just wanted to say hi and say I'm sure I will have a ton of questions.

@BrewBear which knife?
Old model, possibly the 70's, it was a gift from an old friend who passed a long time ago. I really liked it but some mother lover liked it too and walked away with it.
It is about 3 inches long when closed, I believe the handle scales were brown micarta (not sure on the material) and it is made in Seki, Japan. What set this little knife apart from all the other pocket knives is the way it opens/closes. The handles rotate 180 deg. around the blade pivot (one at a time) to expose the blade. They rotate in one plane, not like the ballisongs

Hey guys, I'm going out of state for work and was planning on bringing both BB's just in case.

I plan on rewicking the vapeshell in the back up mod and putting it in its box. Has anyone had any leaking issues with it being on its side for an extended period of time?

I haven't seen any leaking with the BB tanks, the sxk ones on the other hand....
I would pack a 60 ml bottle of juice and leave the tank dry.

Has anyone seen the sxk billet (TVP) knock offs
Has sets for there smaller bat box and BB with USB,
So maybe you could now add USB to original,
Pei or gold, but im sure gold can be blasted or stripped off for SS or other colour,
Main this is USB part for BB, rather than a jumper cable,
Available on all big china sites

Also new Vapresso VM tank out since
but still shows as pre order ? 18-22-25mm out with new EUC CCELL 1.0 ohm
Im hopeful these are standard EUC coil sizes, but lowers the wattages. From 30-40 down to 11-20w,
Will know when lands,
i know a lot use the EUC and make BB basically an expensive pod system,
but on lazy days gives VM tank a chance to just throw on a mod and go with EUC coils,

The screen went out on my 40 awhile back so I was thinking about picking up a set too and maybe adding the USB ... If I'm going to be in there anyway, might be worth a shot.

Very true. Kill two tasks at the same time.

Keeping them gold. Always wanted the gold to go with the purple. Got orange FF panels on it now but wanna change up every now and then. But gold and purple are a great match:vapemail:

Wouldn't you know it! Spyderco Para. 3 with M390 blade being released next week :cuss2: and I just bought a Barry Woods Tuckaway and a Powder River Folder.....There's also a Barry Woods model 1 (I think ) but the play money fund has been depleted for now. I had a Bantam in the cart twice so far but ended up buying something else. Too many toys.....:cuss:

Spyderco has reached their end with me... the two price hikes in their models over the last year is enough to warrant passing on them.

PM3's no matter the variant steel not even 6 months ago, was $129... now places are taking advantage of people who are "Steel" hunters and upping the prices to near $200, and the secondary market of these limited sprint runs are topping CRK prices which is stupid.

I want to sell my two PM2s I have... Users, both with Deep carry clips CTS-204p and S35VN...They just don't get any pocket time with me anymore. Heck... I'd trade both for an authentic Taifun GT4 with Nano kit ;)

I was tempted for a second, but I'd rather get a Sebenza 31. Looking at my new addiction, the Barry Wood knives , some of those go for a bucket of cash!

Indeed... When I came across them searching the other day... saw some nearing a grand.


The 31s should be hitting Mid-October-November at dealers.


Thinking of grabbing another Inkosi, but in drop point. I prefer the break down of the Inkosi more than the Sebenza.

When you clean a Sebenza, you have to slide the washers and blade in while the handles are together... easy to do... but you're a little on the blind side making sure you don't pinch a washer.

On the Inkosi, you can do the sammich method and never fear pinching the washers.... same with the 'Zaan ... additionally, less parts on the Inkosi.

For some reason I thought you were saying the Sebenza 31 is more like the Inkosi, am I dreaming?
