What I do when coiling the Xeta is leave the legs a little long and when I can manipulate the coil without the legs on the other side of the clamp moving, it's tight enough. I have both an SXK and a YFTK and neither one have had a problem.

I chamfered the hole in the boro with a countersink and pulled the o-ring off of the key and it seems to be working. Resistance only changes .01 instead of an ohm or more. Thanks guys.
So I thought I'd give a ZapWrap a go.....quite pleased with the outcome just now need a flush fit key for a decent drip ti
Did your A tank come with the 2 metal parts?The small metal should thread on to the threads at the bottom of the coil,and the top section just pushes into the top of the coil,i think,i haven't used my A tank in quite a while,but i think i remember it right haha.Just put the coil and bottom section into the boro,then push the top section down through the top of the boro and into the coil.How do you get the atlantis coil in the A tank? I’m happy with the xeta, but I have a boat load of aspire coils to use up. Can not seem to get it together
Good luck,i have been searching for quite a while for a flush fit that will fit the SXK,and have had no luck.It is very easy to make your stock one a flush fit though.I did mine with a dremel,took maybe 5 minutes,it could be done with a file also,although that would take longer.
It comes with a Kanger and Nautilus adapter,but they wont fit Atlantis coils though except with the A tank.
I thought it would work like the nautilus one did and just drop in from the top. There’s a lip on the top piece that is too wide to push up/down through the hole. It looks like it has to be inserted inside first. But....The bottom collar seems too wide to press up through the bottom hole. I was afraid to push too hard and mess up the oring. Everything is juiced up and slippery, but no go. I marked the top piece’s lip with an arrow on the picture. Either there’s a trick to it, or I’m inept lol. Just hate being (temporarily) defeated by something so bloody simple!
The boro wasn’t that much to add to my order, and I have a men’s shoebox full of triton/atlantis coils I found when reorganizing the stash. I bought the tank without considering whether I might not like the coils anymore. This is turning into a real adventure lol!
That picture helped,i couldn't remember the setup for sure from memory.i had forgot about that lip on top.I still couldn't remember how i did it though,so i went and got mine to check.The top goes in from the inside,as i'm sure you already figured out haha,but yes the coil pushes up from the bottom,it is a very hard fit,i had to put it on the counter and push down on the boro tank to get it shoved through,just make sure it stays straight and it will go in a little easier,but if it's crooked it will be very difficult.
I got mine without ever trying an Atlantis coil previously,i just figured i wanted all the options available to try out.The only Atlantis coils i've tried are the .5 ohm claptons,and i found i like them quite a bit,so it worked out good.Then i tried a Kanger ssocc .5 ohm clapton and found i really liked those,and i caught them on clearance for .50 cents a box,so now i have enough of those to last me probably 10 years if that's all i use,but i really only use any of the prebuilt coils as a backup when i don't want to rebuild,so i figure those will probably last me 30 years haha.
I have some “newer” ssocc coils. The atlantis are left over from the dark ages, I think (sadly) they’re all 1.8 or 1.6?

Very apt description! Brute force, and it’s finally in. I found some atlantis 0.5 coils for the trial run. What I have the most (dozens and dozens) of are 1.8 unfortunately. Somehow during the wrestling, I ended up with a clear oring not attached to wherever it came from. Boro rings are black, so off the coil I suppose. Filled it with some diy base and left it in the sink to see if it leaks.
Yeah,my ssocc's are the newer style too,the round ones.I remember not liking the square ones years ago when i tried them in a subtank,but the round ones work really well.
As for those 1.8 coils,those may work out good,depending on your vape style now,would be worth giving one a try to see when the current coil needs replaced.I don't use a very gunky juice,but i got over 2 weeks from the Atlantis .5 ohm coil i ran in mine,they just seem to keep going,i probably could of went longer with it,but i got bored and wanted to try something different in the BB haha.
I posted awhile back about a pack of 5 Triton Ni200 .15Ω coils for $2.99. Although I believe the price is up to $6.01 a pack now. Still a great price though. They fit Atlantis and TC only of course. I actually love them myself.
Aspire Atlantis / Triton Temperature Sensing Nickel Coils (5 Pk)
Are the Triton and Triton mini coils the same?If so,Ejuice steals has Triton mini nickel coils in .15 for $2.99 in their clearance section.
That must of been an Euc ceramic,people rave about how good those are,but i didn't care for them too much.I agree though,for the most part,i rarely use a drop in,but i did try several different ones so i could find 1 that i really liked just to keep as back ups for in case i either get lazy and don't want to rebuild at the time,or more importantly if i would be in a situation where i couldn't build for a while.I figure if i got hurt or something,i could probably get my wife to swap a drop in for me,but she would be completely lost if i tried to have her rebuild or even rewick haha.
I never intended to have a large stash of them though,i planned on maybe 5 or 6 boxes,but then when i found the Kanger ssocc's for .50 cents a box,i ended up ordering like 40 boxes of them,i couldn't pass up a deal like that haha.
