That mod is so so nice, it just lights up in the sun rays! I love my greens, army green is one of my favorite colors. I think half of my closet items are green, beige, and brown… “Camouflage”

Hello! Today I have a question about the Sturdy rba... or rather what tanks work well with it? When I bought mine there was a little note in the description about how well it works with a Wick'd XO tank, but I didn't think much about it. Upselling is just a fact of life, or so I believed. I didn't buy one because a)they didn't have any available, and b)I have an extra tank already.

My rba arrived and as I was setting it up I noticed it has an incredibly tight fit in my tank. Even juiced up it did NOT want to install. I managed to get it with a lot of care and more force than I was expecting. Is that normal? I only have 2 rbas (520 and now a Sturdy) so I don't have anything to use for comparison. The 520 came with a tank of its own and it just sets in with no effort at all. I'm worried when it comes time to remove the Sturdy I'm gonna end up breaking that little 510 threading cap if I push it wrong.

So do I need a special XO tank for this rba? I really don't know and could use a more experienced opinion. Its hard to find one and they aren't exactly cheap so its hard to justify ordering one if it won't even fix the problem I'm having. Thanks in advance!

    I have tried a few bridge combos. My favorite tank is the XO. I do not own a Sturdy bridge. I put ejuice on ALL o-rings and boro tank seal. Some tanks are not equal - tighter fit then some. I hate loose (drippy) tanks. I have a box of 20 boro tanks i have liked for a week - looked nice. I just dont trust for no leak, retired. At this time I am Kontrl MKRO bridge and XO tanks. There are way to many choices to say what is best. I like juice that some others might not like. My .3ohm coil build is to hot for my wife. Vaping has been an individual journey.

    Update from my previous question… I managed to get an XO tank to try with my SturdyOne rba and it really does make a difference. It’s still snugly fit and no leaks but it doesn’t require a jaws of life to remove it. The xo really is a great tank for this bridge, and now that I can actually use it the bridge is pretty great too

    An update on the BBSO. All was good and well, but I had more than a couple of leaks and after a while one of the fire button stopped working. Then the front buttons started to malfunction. I did open it up a couple of times before and cleaned of the juice, however this last time it seems like the juice went deeper.

    I was too frustrated and damaged the screen ribbon, the buttons are still not working so I'm back to Stubby, Still thinking what to do with the BBSO, it is part way disassembled, one of the ribbons for the front buttons is ripped and now is stored in a zip lock bag.

    Also, here is the last batch of the liquid I've made + stubby 21 . The cost is approximately 100CAD + some of my free time, if I would have purchased it in a store in Ontario, with all of the taxes this is around 600CAD worth of e liquid if I take the cheapest liquid available in store....

    Well guys it’s been a wonderful 12 years of fun, laughter, knowledge and tears when we brake new mods… I’m still holding on to the last little bit of hope…

    I told my wife let’s do marriage counseling, she responded, it’s cheaper to have you arrested and taken out the house with a lie…

    G-Block baby, nah I’m not in jail but can’t go back home with an order of protection…
    Sucking on my friend keeps me from going bonkers….

    Do you still find Sturdy good? I'm eyeing the new titanium version that was shown recently but I saw some people on reddit trashing it (the regular one)

    Jeez man - Are you really locked out of your home? Did you manage to take your vaping gear with you, or just that one in the pic?

    Mine is just a stainless version and I don't have a lot of bridges to compare it with, but yes I like it. Its easy to build on, the flavor is pretty condensed already and I saw there's an upgraded top that is supposed to bring out even more but I haven't seen the need.
    The only issue i am having right now is airflow. I have to remove the back panel if i dont want a restrictive vape. I do think it would be better suited in a mod with open sides to capitalize on the airflow and also just to show off the tank. But yeah, its my favorite bridge at the moment.
