Looks like a screw under the magnifier.I havent taken it apart yet because Im waiting for a credit from 3f vape...The mod has potential but they have to do better with the contacts on the next batch. $75.00 is too much money for this mod. Im sure you can buy the sxk billet box without the dna for about the same price...

That is cute as a button. Could you put me up to speed, is it worth buying? Vapcell or Efest purple?
If 30 watts of non TC will do it for you it vapes great. Vapcell is way better than the Efest.
An SXK Billet Box is probably a much better buy though.

I already have an original and an SXK billets. Not long ago Todd reviewed one unregulated that I disregarded on top of price (full ultem) because of the lack of chip. I think with a Nord 1.4 head should vape like a charm. I wouldn't dare go any lower or maybe the .8 Nord mesh. Thanks!

yeh, I grabbed a couple of spares when they had 15% off a while back... always good to have spares for spares and backups for the backups though, lol
I mount each bridge in a separate boro. So if I want to vape something else I just pop the tank in. Simple.

Still can't get enough of it. Its like they were built for the BB. So smooth and flavorful.
One of the problems I have in Buenos Aires is heads. I've been using those for almost a year and work like a charm. There are also some from Vaporesso in ceramic that work even better. But the iJust are easier to find.

4.5ml (ish) puts me off quite a bit. I go through up to 20mls a day. 4-5 refills per day isn't something I really look forward to. I refill my current mods twice a day (morning & evening, using 8-10ml squonk bottles) and usually don't have to carry anything extra with me when I go out and enjoy that fact.

I guess if start slowing down some this might work out for me. But as things are currently, I think I'll have to stick with my current setups.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I will revisit this mod when I start to slow down on my vaping for sure.
The BB is more of a niche product. I use mine when I go out, a freshly rebuilt bridge, 2 batts and a bottle of juice is all I need. I can even drop it in my purse without any worries of it leaking or breaking. But for every day vaping I use my regular vaping gear at 50W or more. This is just for out and about.

I was browsing the Vicious Ant website today and came across a new mod they released recently.

This looks like a perfect compromise between BB and squonk mod, for me at least. It has the BB style AIO thing going on (rebuildabke deck, option for MTL or DL), but has a larger capacity squonk bottle. It has a DNA 75C, so that's kind of nice. Still not really BB style, but kind of a hybrid between that and a squonk mod. Price is quite steep though.

Started a thread about it, go there, I'll appreciate it. But after a Bamtam box shopping spree I don't think there'll be enough for the Club Omega!

Just prior to getting my first SXK BB I bought half a dozen new mods including a VA 21700 DNA75C Spade. Those along with quite a few other DNA mods just sit idle while I vape one of my BB's or Bantam.
The only leaking from my SKK Boro boxes is from the air intake of the RBA when I cut the wick tails too short.

I find that sometimes vaping at 50W puts too much strain on the BB so I build 0.5 and up for it. While in my other devices I generally build 0.3 ohms and below. Too much strain for a single battery mod. Although I love the robustness and ease of use. AND the system is a rabbit hole, I'm constantly browsing the web for more accesories... So far my first Bantam buy is 125 bucks and it just has 1 bridge and a couple of stock doors... And I haven't started on batteries yet! This is the only thing I might regret later, the unavailability of good 18350 batteries. I have some old red efests that were rated at 10A but Mooch said they were more 4A, unusable on the Bantam!

I've since ordered some of these mesh coils from Vaporesso. They're really taking their time to send it though. Will be interesting to see how it compares with the Eleaf ones.

Those are the small ones, the ones I'm referring are Atlantis sized, to use with the A tank...

Those are a little needy for the Bantam, more to use on the BB
