I feel the Orbit was designed more for mtl vaping.
When the rotating AF plug in the Orbit is fully open, it's a 4.5mm af so the airiest of any BB RBAs I've got. Airier than the VapeSnail which has a maximum 3.5mm af and the Qbix which goes up to 4mm diameter.

I agree about the Orbit's small juice wells - that's the limitation with a wide deck on a square angle. I guess it was a trade-off between smaller deck or smaller juice wells, but somehow it keeps up with a 3mm ID coil and no thinning. Never had a dry hit or any problems with wicking mine.
The deck of the VapeSnail is much roomier because of the diagonal setup. Better design but I wish it had af as smooth as the Orbit.

That new Voltrove RBA looks like it's designed for lots of air. Not sure of the specs under the coil but it looks cloudy in reviews.

Last but not least the deck having four parts to it instead of two. I mean doesn't that reduce conductivity?
Good point.

The Voltrove is fantastic.The Chthulu 520 has a bit more airflow,but the Voltrove has plenty of airflow,and you can fit a huge coil in there,easily a 4mm,probably up to 4.5mm even,I'm running a 3.5mm in mine,great flavor and airflow.They are stopping production on them for a while though,as some people have had issues with the stock 510 nut not fitting right,but I haven't had any issues at all with mine,I have 2 more on the way,they are that good.

This sounds like good news. Will definitely try to get one if possible...

If you like a good dl draw,imo you can't go wrong with this one, plus the fact that it's not extremely hard to get like a lot of them.The price is up there a bit,but again not terribly expensive like some of the others,they can be found under $120 shipped.

The sxk clear panels are so cheap. Mine are already cracking by one of the magnets...If anyone is looking to buy clear panels, look for the MK mods panel's, they're a little thicker and the flat ones are nice...

I have like a half a dozen spare SXK panels (2 are clear) and none of them have ever cracked. Maybe it is rare, I don't know. I also have some Skully panels that are thicker and cutouts for the screen and juice level. And thanks for the tip about MK mods panels. I've seen them for the Pulse AIO too.

By the way, I ordered panels by Vandy Vape for their Pulse AIO and they included 8 spare magnets with each set. I thought that was generous and unusual. Not that I think I'll ever need them, unless I manufacture my own panels.

My sxk clear panel started to crack in three of the four corners. I did notice a little rattle when using some of the boro tanks I have but i dont think that has anything to do with it. I also wipe them down with alcohol to remove the fingerprints. I just dont know what can be causing it, maybe I just got a bad set, I just dont Know. I think the MK panels are a little thicker.. Trying to get another batch to see the difference in quality...

Also took another shot at the orbit with 24g 6 to 7 wraps for a .73 ohm coil which Im really enjoying. Getting a little juice in the driptip from good wicking but I could live with that. Im still using it without the blue air plunger for max air. I think I got it right this time, the airflow is smooth, no gargling, flooding, or dry hits. Very nice!!! [emoji108]...

Yep, one of my clear panels just finished cracking almost in half. The other is in perfect condition, Its unexplainable. I had smoked panels I was saving for another box I was planning on putting together. I liked the clear ones better.

I have been using one of my SXK BB's now for a couple of days. It has been so long that I couldn't remember what the atty inside was called (Insider), had to look it up. Great little atty, leaves room for juice and vapes fantastic.

Also check 3fvape, type in BB in the search box and all BB items will pop up at once on both websites
