SXK Billet box...

Coil resistance has absolutely nothing to do with battery life in a regulated mod.

Well.. the lower the resistance someone uses the higher the watts they tend to use and the lower the battery life generally, and more juice....

You're not going to drive a 0.5 ohm coil at the 10 or 12 watts you're likely to use for a 1.8 ohm coil.. 100 3sec puffs at 20w will drain twice as much from a battery as 100 3sec puffs at 10w...

Dual 28ga 0.5Ω coil in the Pindad requires 28W to hit a heat flux of 250, where a dual 24ga 0.5Ω coil in the Goon requires 113W to hit a heat flux of 250...

Both builds are the same resistance with totally different power requirements. My comment was in regards to just the resistance alone is not a determining factor for battery life.

Do not trust UrVapin. They sent me the set of coils without a sleeve, they will not recognize that I ordered with sleeve. They are crooks. Going to slander them everywhere. Tired of these Chinese vendors cheating me

Had to change it up a bit,so got a new set of panels in today.

A few days back when I received my Vapcell 18350's and before I made them flat tops I ordered another Vapcell 18350. It was an earlier 10 amp version. The picture on the web site of it was of a flat top but it said button top, I missed it again. So it arrived yesterday and was another nipple top. But this one had it's insulator and nipple installed then wrapped with a clear wrapper over top of the purple wrapper. All I had to do on this one to make it a flat top was to pull off the clear wrap, remove the insulator (sticker) and pop off the nipple.

Well I hope that you did really relax Vacations can sometimes be more work...especially people that take a week and then fly somewhere...often ends up being more stress than relax

Deep breaths on the Billet Box now..... I've got three SXK now and one authentic

Yes I read that. I still have four SXK ones and use them everyday.

Say are your threads the same between them?

Yep....which is good to know

I tried flat wire with the Insider but kept cutting the legs with the screws so twisted 28 ss430 it is.

I finally got a working flat wire coil going. I put in into a Kanger RBA. I wrapped the wire the whole way around the post screws. It's something like 5 wraps with 3 mm ID, not much info without wire size but I forgot what it was. It couldn't handle 30 watts but at 20 watts it felt just like 30 did with the twisted 28. I'm pretty sure it will be another 3 - 4 years before I mess with it again, while it works real good it's a serious pain in the ... to get it set up. I just couldn't let it get the best of me.
Edit: I can't believe they censored my "a" with 2 dollar signs.

The vapeshell is slightly easier with flatwire

I'm using Ni80 fused clapton 2.6 ohms/foot in my vapeshell. 6 wraps comes out to about 0.6 ohms. Working pretty well

SXK have started making panels for the Bantam:
SXK Vape - Bantam Box

I assume they'll start appearing in stores soon:

Yes I use a slightly lighter one which is 3.0 ohms a foot so you can build a bit higher...its a must have with BBs imo

Still can't get enough of it. Its like they were built for the BB. So smooth and flavorful.
