You can see in the pic the blob has raised the exocet & gave me that extra meat I needed up top to make a solid connection :)
Steamer861, that's the Exocet. Huge difference! As that one you have lots of room to slide up without leaking. Not true for the SXK rba. This one is brand new and I just removed it from a brand new SXK BB. I haven't done anything with it. I just removed the AFC ring so you can see.

As you can see, it is right on the edge of the collar. Move it up just a hair and no more o-ring on the collar. Oh I put the arrow on the wrong black ring. It's the outer black ring. Geez... I am looking at this overall length. This one is worse than the other one. The chimney doesn't even clear the top of the tank. :facepalm:

I can see your issue :( For me the top with my Exocet was the same as your pic, but lifting it up in the boro, with the solder blob gave me what I needed :)
I thought they included one of the SubTank rba with every unit? Don't you have a bunch of those? I have 3 I never use!

Yes, but I have lots of other choices like my Crossbow, Insider, Exocet, EUC heads, etc. Why mess around with a SXK RBA? As it needs a total makeover to get it to work well.

On mine I replaced the o-ring with one that came with a China Taifun for drip tip on the key. While both appeared to be 5 x 1.5 mm the one for the Taifun was just barely noticeably smaller. Hasn't turned the tube removing the key since.
On the collar on the bottom of the Kanger RBA, a thicker o-ring above the collar will bring it down some.

For the last 3 days (today is 4) I have been going to take my Drone to work as the main squeeze. Each time I left it, maybe tonight it will go. I'm having a hard time cozying up to it, not sure why. Maybe if I use it more it will grow on me.

While I have neither it looks like the question needs to be "how does the Crossbow compare to the Vape Shell"
The Crossbow I believe has a tighter airflow. But both can use those air restrictive inserts. Which by the way looks exactly like the ones for the K5. Hmm... I wonder.
