I wanted the clear pearl ones.

I bet I've spent over $300 in waffles and I've never won anything. Most of that was over a year ago.

Yeah I had a slump for a while there. This is my first win in probably a few months.

Clear panels for $17.33:

Ultem panels for a $26.50:
https://www.fasttech.com/product/9705668-sxk-replacement-pc-panel-cover-for-bb-60w-70w-mod

The ultem ones need a polish to look good IMO. Too cloudy but if it's real PEI then it's a good deal. Both prices are after MAP code is applied.

Thanks for the heads up man. I ordered 2 sets of clear and one ultem

I want another EUC bridge so I can keep a MF/drizzle boro in rotation.
Should I buy a KRV or pick up an SXK A tank and a sleeve?
Any SXK/sleeve fit or PITA issues?

Edit, I think I remember the sleeve was just a smidge taller than an Atlantis coil...(?)

I wanted to try that too recently but unfortunately, I couldn't find that freakin' sleeve anywhere anymore. I even asked the Vaporesso chick about them and she was no help; said they aren't making them anymore. :(

Fyi, I don't think the sleeve will help you run a drizzle coil if that was your objective; I think they only work with regular EUC coils otherwise I would have picked one up a long time ago. I have a MF bridge but unfortunately, not the adapters that allow it to work the drizzle coils.

NGA is correct. The a tank plus sleeve will not run the smaller drizzle coils.

I have that combo for my 0.5's and haven't had any issues.

Bob, If I were you, I'd get the krv just so all your boros will be the same. I wish I would have done that.

If either of you need a vapresso sleeve, I can send you one.

For further clarity, the only bridges that will work with the Drizzle coils are the MF Bridge Full Kit and the Ohman EUCapsule (out of production and isn't that great anyway as it doesn't reduce the airflow at all).

I gave up on the MF MTL kit lol. I'm loving my 2 vape shells and have the North bridge or the nautilas if I ever get the urge to try premade coils.

I'm think about trading my Ohman for a VapeShell with MTL pins. It's by far my favorite BB vape. Never leaks, excellent flavor and I don't mind rebuilding it.

The MF Bridge annoys me bc I can't use a DryPlug, which for me has become a necessity since it does such a good job managing condensation.

I'm considering a North Bridge again bc of the addition of the AFC rings ($10 for two plastic rings is irritating though). I just got a pack each of 0.8 ohm mesh MTL and 1.4 ceramic coils to try out in my wife's Nord.

She's preggo and gave up vaping so I done stole it!

Thanks all, sorry I wasn't clear. I have the MF full kit but when it it's in use for a .5 can't use it for a drizzle in another boro.

Can pick up an SXK A tank for like 8 bucks. Their are few sleeves still around, just have to dig. Thanks Mykreign, still mulling options...

Congrats on the baby man! I agree vapeshell is the way to go! Although I can't use dry plugs on either of mine.

I only use the MF Bridge Full Kit with the Drizzle coils. Last I knew the DryPlug doesn't fit around the white Delrin adapter that the Drizzle coil sits in.

Thanks! That makes for number three for me, two for her (my oldest is with my ex-wife).
Once our newest addition arrives in February I'm scheduling the ol' snip-snip!

I tried the plug on both vapeshells. One was in an authentic boro and another in a clone. Neither one worked, although this time I just pressed down on the boro instead of putting the nut on. Didn't want to pull the vapeshell apart again.

Thanks! Not sure just yet. She's 12 weeks as of yesterday so we have a couple more before we find out.
She thinks it's a boy since it's so different from her pregnancy with our daughter... or maybe it's because she's 6 years older?
Not that I'd ever say that to her... probably wouldn't need to schedule that appointment if I did!

That's weird. I use only SXK clone boros and have never had connectivity issues in combination with a plug

Lookie what just arrived today...

JMK Sunk button in black delrin on order too.

I'm thinking I want to swap the TRVP silver button panel for my OG one so that RPG pops through the logo...

Sorry dude. Not a chance on that one.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm considering trying to hunt down a Fawkes to put these on and keeping my RPG with the TRVP set and clear panels.

Last week BBV dropped some "Teal" boxes. That's what they called it. Is that the same as BX9?

Albert has a new set of TRVP inner plates arriving in gold and silver this month. You have to buy both though, you get one gold one silver of the plates and button. Keep an eye on his website if interested.
