    I may also have to try an SXK purple or red camo frame.
    What parts do I need to buy from vape and Make, the two switch pcb I think, but what else apart from them?

    Back to the frame, which covers fit, inner and outer covers.
    Hello, I have sent you a MSG + links. RED parts - can flip to purple if you like

    And you'll also need a screw set for the inners and negative battery terminal assembly. There are various brands you can buy. MK Mods BB screws are pretty good but there are cheaper ones too. SXK do sets in various colours but theirs are painted.

    Any of you guys tried the Ether boro rba? (@BillW50 I know would have a couple with his stubby kits)
    I've been vaping the Stubby with the Skynet up til this morning and just built the Ether. Got a 2.5mm af pin in it.
    First impression is pretty good.
    When I bought my stubby a couple weeks ago I also got an Ether boro so I could have a good MTL setup when I wanted one. So using it with the 1.2mm and thought it was good that way. However mine seems to be leaking, except I can't catch it in the act. I'm assuming a wicking problem and will try to rewick. Basically, I just thought I was going through juice a little too fast, took off the panel and saw juice on the front of the block, not sure what the correct name is, the insert you put underneath the tank in a stubby in order to use a normal boro tank. Assumed it must have come out of the airflow slot.

    Cleaned off the juice from that and the Ether, vaped it with the panel off, and never saw a bit of juice. So right now not totally sure where the juice leaked from or why. I was carrying it in the pocket of a flannel shirt I wear to work, it almost certainly didn't stay upright all day. The shirt smells like the juice I was vaping. Maybe the leakage was from somewhere other than the airflow slot, in which case not wicking related, but then I'm not sure where it leaked from.

    I've been vaping mine all day since my post and I had a similar thing happen. Pretty sure in my case it was a wicking issue. I thinned my tails out too much.
    It reminds me a bit of the Orbit, small wick channels for a big side-on deck.

    Check if the tank is leaking right through the decks oring. I had that issue on both the Orbit and the VapeSnail. I added a very very thin and small oring under the decks oring, tightening the seal and stoping the seepage.. I still get condensation, but no flooding.

    Thanks. I used a small strip of silicon plumber's tape to fix that issue with my orbit. It worked but looked ugly - your idea of a second o-ring is a better solution.
    With the Ether, it only happened once and a re wick fixed it. I'm enjoying it with the 2.5mm af. Very good flavour.

    That's the one in the large photo but be very careful when you see a cheap item in Aliexpress. Often the big photo and price don't match the listed item. In the example you linked, the big picture is of the BB frame but the small picture below which is highlighted is of a PRC boro tank. When you click on the small picture of the BB frame you'll see the real price is $60, not $17.

    In the US, it shows "Sorry, the page you requested can not be found:(".

    Yep, it's easy to go wrong on AliExpress, and many times it's more expensive on AliExpress.
    The red frame has been lowered to 39.15 USD.

    The package will not arrive until well into January, but the project is now underway.


    Bought 1 and 8 also (1 incase I’ll sand down the frame later):

    That's what my first/last order from Ali also said. Surprisingly it only took 10 days.

    5 replacement glass. Packaged in a sturdy miniature cardboard box. 1 new one already cracked, so down to 3. Sigh.

    I have plenty of time, everything is one project that I will buy a little now and then, now it was the frame and negative battery connection.
    Once it has reached me it will be 2Fdeal next.
    Then it will be Vape and Make in the end.
    The project itself will be significantly more expensive than buying a complete copy from 3FVape or 2Fdeal, but it will be more fun.
