It doe one thing I don't want, though. SLUUUURRRRP
If you get a slurp, you wicked it wrong. I am so surprised how well they really vape. They don't vape anything like you think they would for its size. They produce some really great flavor and vapor. :D

Going to give you the Giant Thumbs Up for that post Bill :thumbs:
It's a DNA 60 mod, & performs like one, in a very small elegant foot print :)

It's funny. I have 12 non-BB vapes on my desk that I can grab and vape. But I use my BB vapes 99% of the time. And when I do pick up a non-BB vape and vape, I say meh and go back and grab a BB vape once again. :D

Well switching the up and down buttons wasn't too bad but flipping the screen I am going to need a longer ribbon cable.

Just kidding. I did it with EScribe.

But why I was in there really is because I got my second one today and I have a slight problem.

Yeah the connecting pin keeps springing up. It makes it tough getting a tank in and out. I was trying to see what the other side looks like to see if there was a way to keep it from popping up. I have seen a video what the other side looks like and the DNA board and the fire button are in the way. Anybody knows how it is fastened inside?

Say if you haven't seen that video about hooking EScribe to your non-USB BB, take a look.

Looks like you mite need to remove the whole chip to fix that :(
Did you get it from the Canadian site? I would contact them & see if they will replace it?

Don't worry Steamer861. It bugged me enough to take it all apart. Will add photos here soon. :)

Yes I did purchase it in Canada. :D It is just wire soldered on the pin and that is all. Damn camera won't focus.

So I just repositioned the wire so the pin stays in the hole. Oh now the camera focuses.

If you're curious about the USB, here it is.

People need to edit screw removal time, I always hated the the laptop tear down videos just for that reason. :lol:

I did mine without having to remove the board, just be extra careful with the screen cable.

You can see that the usb board is different than an Evolv one, the evolv board has a centred mini usb not off to the side like the one in the pic.
Also the holes were the usb board would connect to the main board are empty? wonder were they connected the usb board to the main board?

Yes I noticed this too. It does have the charging LED too.

They soldered them on varies spots on the board. I guess they were too afraid of putting them too close to the screen ribbon.

Yes that fits a Kanger Subtank, but not a fit for the SXK RBA bridge.
If the bridge is the tube that goes from the key to the RBA the one that comes installed (short one) fits as well as the collar. But the base where the collar goes is longer on the BB Kanger RBA. The positive pin on the stock Kanger head ends up not hitting the positive pin of the mod. Perhaps another tiny "bridge" on the positive pin will let it work, I'll think of something.

I haven't tried it yet dwcraig1, but I think if you use the ring from the Kanger bridge and the chimney of the SXK RBA, it will work with the Kanger RBA.

Oh!

Yep, won't take much to make it work. Just need to figure how so as not to have the piece getting loose down there, a cap like shape perhaps.
I'm thinking to drill a small hole in the Kanger RBA positive pin and put in a small screw.

Well I know that bottom pin of the Kanger RBA unscrews and you can take it out. But if you do, the build deck is loose and will fall apart. But I am thinking you might find a BF pin or something that you can replace it with.

But then again, for under 15 bucks you can buy a SXK Hellfire Exocet RTA. :D
