It's nicer than it looks in the pic, but you can get a feel for the red tank inside. It looks REALLY sweet in person.

That's not the stock faceplate. I had to order that as an extra (not expensive). They put THAT one on the mod though, and packed the (blank) stock one. That impressed me.

I'm sometimes easily impressed, I guess.

I only have 5 boro mods, this is my favorite one.

I have one of those too. It's nice, but doesn't click ALL of my buttons. The KIM AIO is the closest thing to a Rev3 for me, which is what I was looking for. The size and weight are similar, but it can use an 18650 battery.

I still prefer the VAPE from the Rev3 (smoother since there's no chip), but it's nice to finally have an 18650 version, for those times that I need more battery life.

Like EVERYTHING vape, and as we used to say (so very long ago), "Taste is subjective." That one was always my favorite clearly obvious statement by vapers. :laugh:

Now that I have it, this is what I got.


I can barely tell the difference from the authentic one. The top screw is SLIGHTLY different, and the logo on the door doesn't say, "Made In Italy". Other than that, it's exact.

Also, the white is GORGEOUS. Red boro to go inside of it, specifically for the intended recipient (loves red). Someone, I think, might be pleased very soon.
It says "carbon fibre and PEEK" in the description. I thought the SXK clone was carbon fibre doors on a POM/delrin body. Can you confirm either way DP?

I like mine too. Overall build quality is excellent.
The only niggle I have with the PRC Ionbox is the width (don't have large hands). For that shape I prefer thumb fire/side button like the BB. Even better with a rocker switch.

I'm far from the best person to ask there, Pigs. The stock door (laying flat) is definitely different (posting a pic at the bottom of this message), but other than that, everything looks very similar to me. I can feel (and slightly see) differences in the machining and quality, but at 1/3 of the price, I'd have been stunned otherwise.

The button for me is a difference maker, along with the weight. The ION isn't a "carry piece" for me, but neither is a BB Rev 4. I have other things that work better for my preferences (BB Rev3s, Unions and TEK Endurance SBSs, etc.). The Kim AIO is now in the "carry" group too. It's even a bit smaller & lighter than the Rev3, which matters to me.

A well hidden USB-C port under the magnetic switch panel. :greengrin:

LMAO! Absolutely ZERO chance I'd have EVER discovered that!!! Besides, I prefer to swap batteries vs. USB. I never use the software either, for any mods.

I push thee button and thee vapor comes out. :laugh: A very simpleton vaper, I (aye). :blush:

    @crss, what size wires you use to wire your dna60? Do you have a link for good reliable wire...
    I used old wire I had sitting around from quadcopter builds. I did just get a few

    24 Gauge Silicone Ribbon Cable Flexible 5P Black 3 ft Flat Cable 24 AWG Stranded Tinned Copper from Amazon.​


    @dwcraig1 do you know the pin header size for the dna60? I could not find the info. Miked my dna60 dongle this am, looks like 2.5mm. So this am another Amazon purchase.

    Glarks 635Pcs Connector Housing Male/Female Pin Connector 40 Pin 2.54mm Pitch Pin Headers and 10 Wire Rainbow Color Flat Ribbon IDC Wire Cable Compatible with Dupont Connector Assortment Kit​


    I have the micro USB ready.. just the pin out to DNA60 is next obstacle.

    I have a new DNA 40 board here. I used a digital caliper but still had to eyeball it some. Appears to be 2.5 mm center of hole to next center of hole...give or take a little. I'm pretty sure the 40 and the 60 are the same in this regards.
