Never seen anything like it. Down side....... Drunk order. Thought I got 3 vapeshells, one Xeta. Turns out (through my fault not theirs) I ordered 2 Xeta's and whatever the hell these other two things are Ah well, needed the Xeta, Vapeshells are just back ups. Can get a few more...

The tank is a clone of the SVT Tell (they also make the Crossbow BB RBA). It should take just about any BB RBA.
If you don't get on with it, let me know. I've been wanting to try one!

That really isn't necessary. Simply mailing them to you every time it need to be done should suffice

Sure will. Even if I really like, doubt I will need two. Maybe we can work something out.

Nope, not that I paid for anyway. Weirdest part, no Chinese writting on the package, said from CA? Maybe they have a US warehouse? Never seen that before.

FT and 3F have warehouses in the US...mostly returns, but I’m sure rather than sending back to mainland China, they inspect and repurpose.

I knew FT did, didn't know about 3F. Maybe by messing up my own order, it caused it to come quicker

Anyone have any experience or thoughts on drilling out kindbright af inserts. Pack came with .8, 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4. I like the 1.4 in the vapeshell, so I went to drill out the others. The closest I could come up with was 1 1/16 drill bit, and I'm getting 1.55 mm on the conversion chart. I went ahead and did the .8 because I will never use it. Wondering if I will notice a big difference between 1.4 and 1.55. I do notice the difference when I switch from the 1.2 to the 1.4. Anyway, can't put it in and try it yet, just wondering?

You didn't pay for VIP?

Maybe they got rid of it because it was causing them to lose users.

What's this VIP you speak of? Not that I would pay for it. Must be for a new version of the app... still rocking the version from over a year ago... many of the newer versions caused a weird battery drain on my phone, so I just downgraded the app.

Jailbroken phone - can downgrade apps

Which reminds me, I need to buy an iphone X ... a new root level JB is soon to be released... all Iphones from 4s-10 are supported...

But I like my iphone 6s... last phone with a headphone jack LOL

Well that makes sense. You're using an old version.

They updated it to where you can only upgrade 10 pictures a month and you cannot make them full size.

If you want full size pictures and to upload more than 10 a month, then you have to get the paid version of the app.

Speaking of pic's (cuz I can :bliss:

Rocking the Tell this mornin, with the included Arrow bridge and bvc coil. Thoughts to come..... I think its a good looking tank, but must go in a SBS due to height

I don't have the limits on the most current either...

Just the most current version has a battery memory bug of some sort and would cause my phone to go into super conductor mode and I literally could watch the battery percentage drop from 100% to "I gots to shut off" 0%... so I downgraded it to a version that didn't have this bug.

It's like the FB app updates, where they just say in the description, "Bug fixes" nah, its adding their new list of ads mostly... to which I have the oldest version of FB still supported... once in a while I get an error saying, I must update this version isnt supported anymore... and I go up one... not the 30 versions later.

Maybe, but they ain't cheap, can't hurt to try. When I pay that kind of money, I expect all to be well. Of course it could be (or they could blame it on) shipping

I ordered another liter of 100mg salts and the rocket scientists at USPS delivered it to an address in Phoenix, where LNW is located. Trying to find out what to do now.

Take a look at THIS Billet Box. This guy has some serious skills. He does a lot of BB stuff across the pond. He made those panels.

Yes, tracking shows it delivered in Phoenix. I double checked the order, and my address is definitely on the order. And yes I have contacted LNW. What a blast.

My SXK BB finally arrived (it was only 2 weeks, which isn't that bad). So couple questions before I get ahead of myself.

1. I plugged it into Evolve and it shows that 1.2 SP6.1 US is available. Do I want that update? Do I want/need the international version I've read about?
2. Anything else I need to know about before I dive in? Lube the gasket on the boro tank, I know about.
3. I'm thinking about picking up some Aspire Nautilus 2 0.7 ohm coils just to get the initial BB experience while I put a build in the Xeta. Is that the right coil?

I love the feel of this thing. Nice and solid, nice button action. I'm impressed.

Enjoy!!! Not sure about the Nauty 2 coil, I use the regular BVC ones. I would guess as long as it's the same size and screws into the bridge, should be fine.

Even though it might not make any practical difference to you, on principle I always use the international version where possible.

Thanks. Does the exe just unpack it and then I use Evolve, or does it look for the DNA60 and apply it?

I think I can get the Aspire Nautilus "BVC Replacement Atomizer" in 0.7 or 1.6, or the Nautilus 2 coils in 0.7. Recommendation?

I have like 20 boxes of the 1.6 from Mini Naughty days, so that is the only one I have used. I like it, but as long as it could keep up, I bet I would like the .7 better, idk

Uninstall the US version of Escribe, install that one and it should just see it when you open it with the mod plugged in. Escribe will ID which board it is.

It may not matter to you, but I cannot stand the screen being backwards. You can flip that around too. If you plan on using TC at all, you can disable that annoying "temperature protected" message while you're in there too.

There's a couple of good themes for the SXK as well, like THE ONE made by @laurie9300

yeah, the truck pic is accurate. these are what i expected it to look like. g is probably like =this guy is :crazy:
