SXK Billet box...

[proax9]

+1 for checking the vapeshell halves are correctly aligned, as well as the glass/gasket seal.

you can also check the o-rings in the box where the + pin exits the bottom, and where the chimney exits the top of the box. Although I've never had an issue with these- if theses are torn or not seated correctly, you will get leaking

I'm having issues with 2 SXK Boros leaking from the bottom of the gasket. The Boro that came with it doesn't have that problem. I'd buy more gaskets but what's to guarantee it's not the tolerances of the box itself and not the gaskets? Is there a solution? I discovered once that an ultrasonic cleaner expanded my o-rings but it's a temporary solution.

Hey there. I was wondering if anyone has the Doug dino styled escribe theme available for download. I saw someone said they had it but I can't remember what page I saw that on.

My YFTK positive clamp snapped through the screw hole today .. it's only been used with 28g wire and I've always been careful tightening it ...

I like the xeta but $20+ for such a short life, I'm in two minds about buying another one...

I'd look at one from sxk. I've herd yftk is full or problems. Ive always used sxk clones and never had an issue.

try GIMP (gnu image manipulation program). not the most sensible of names but incredibly powerful and free.

we should really discuss your backup archive arrangements

There are some pretty good BB themes on the board manufacturer's support web site.

Are you talking about the 0-ring in the bottom hole or the gasket that seals the glass?

I got the KRMA built and installed. It vapes really good for the mtl setup I have in it, but it's a pain to work with. The threaded piece on the bottom that holds it in an ohm reader or mod is press fitted and doesn't give a solid resistance reading. Given SXK's penchant for cloning real close, I have to wonder if the authentic is like that too. Also, it was a BEAR to get into the boro. Way worse than the Xeta. With the Xeta, apparently the authentic was pretty snug too, which is why I wonder if it also the case with the KRMA. If SXK copies close enough to even reproduce the cons, could be. Haven't researched it yet.

I'm still breaking in the cotton on my first build, but to me anyway, it is no Xeta killer. It does vape really good and I probably should have used the next smaller air restriction plug under the deck, but so far it doesn't knock my socks off compared to the Xeta.

I'm not sorry I got it and it'll stay in the mtl nugget for a while, but I still like the Xeta a bit better. Especially for ease of use.
EDIT: I should clarify that once in the boro with the tension from the key, the resistance and connection is fine. It's when it's loose that you have to be careful.

Loving this setup for now. Some fused clapton 28*2+36 with the biggest air insert. Full of flavour.

Wich one better for mtl? Krma or xeta? I found with the xeta 0,8mm insert in deck and 1mm in chimney is way too tight (atleast for me)

"Better" is in the eye of the beholder. Both vape great in a mtl configuration. I haven't tried the KRMA in rdtl yet, but I strongly suspect the Xeta will prevail in that contest.

The SXK KRMA is 18 bucks. Not nothing, but cheap enough to be worth trying. Also, try the Xeta with the smaller 2 hole deck insert and the 3mm in the chimney.

The KRMA is good, and as I say, I'm not sorry I bought it, but in my opinion the Xeta is easier to work with, more versatile and they both both vape the same in mtl. If I had to pick one of the 2, I'd still take the Xeta. Just be careful when tightening those posts

So is the 510 connector on the krma press fitted? Or is it like the Insiders 510? The insiders 510 comes loose for cleaning by removing the positive pin.....

At least on the SXK clone I have, the threaded piece that screws into a 510 is press fitted. Not an issue at all once in the boro as the key just traps it tightly in place. It's finicky when trying to get resistance readings outside the boro though. I'd have to take it out and apart and get pix to explain better I think. Kinda hard to explain.

It's a good rba, just more finicky and not better than the Xeta in my humble opinion.
