I am seriously thinking about jumping into the SXK BB 'parade'. Been vaping quite a while- but after reading 80% of this thread, you all use some different terminology regarding all the various parts and options available for this device.
I want to be sure I have his right-
1. I am looking at the 60w version.
2. I am primarily looking to build on the deck vs using premade drop in heads. So the set up (from FT or Legends) comes with all the needed to build and vape -minus the battery of course, correct?
3. As I like to have various flavors going- I 'assume' I can order a replacement tank for a second flavor set-up www.fasttech.com/p/9640860. Is the the correct tank?
4. I will also need another build deck/chimney assembly for the second tank: www.fasttech.com/p/7610100 (Is this 'Insider Styled RBA' the same one that comes with the initial unit?) I also saw the SS VapeShell www.fasttech.com/p/9646076- and the Exocet: are these significantly different RBA decks from one another? Any advantages to either (or just personal preference?)
5. Finally- "If" (or probably 'when') I decide to play with drop in heads- is there anything that will accept the ELeaf HW / Vaporesso GT style heads? (also used in Smoke Baby Beast and quite a few other tanks).
I appreciate you patience and any info.

The SXK DNA60 Billet Box comes with a Kanger Mini Subtank RBA head installed in the Boro box. It has been slightly modified with a longer positive pin. Included is the necessary bridge pieces.
A bridge for disposible Kanger Subtank heads is included.
A bridge for Aspire Nautilus heads is included.
Pictured is Kanger RBA head on left and Insider on right.
A-tank with bridge accepts Atlantis type coils.
There is a bridge available for Smok Nord coils.
Nothing for Baby Beast that I know of.

Yes
The only included rebuildable as dwcraig1 has noted is the Kanger RBA clone. And I don't think many will be happy with that one. Nothing wrong with Kanger RBA decks per se, just the chimney (bridge) for it in the SXK BB is too loose and too short. Thus you can experience connection problems and leaks when removing the tank.
Yes that is the standard Boro tank. There is also another tank commonly called the A-Tank. Although very few rebuildable options for that one. Just tons of drop in coil options.
The SXK BB doesn't include any of them. They are purchased separately. And all you need is one Boro tank for each. By the way, they won't fit into the A-Tank.
Those are generally used by direct lung vapers. Are you a DL vaper? And no, they don't fit the BB tanks. And if you are a DL vaper, you might be happier with the A-Tank instead of the Boro for more airflow. But rebuildable options are virtually nil (Atlantis RBA and Titon RTA are two I know of).
I'm liking the Kanger disposable ceramic head good enough that I ordered 5 more. But didn't order the ceramic ones though, I ordered the SS316 ones.
But, nevertheless, the BB is quite airy, it's a restricted DL to speak of. It can't handle too low builds, you'll be happier if you build 0.5 and up, due to the limitations of the DNA chip.
I usually keep 1 tank for each bridge, given that out and about I don't have time to rebuild or rectify anything and you need to drain the tank to work on whatever it is on your tank. Nord coils, given that they fit from below can be changed on the fly with the mytical carto pusher, I think it was on sale somewhere. You put the little pusher from above and push until you expose the coil and change it on the fly.
Oh I dunno. I used 0.045Ω builds before in my BB and they were fine with the DNA60. Right now I am vaping with Eleaf EC-M 0.15Ω coils in an A-Tank running at 25 watts. And the DNA60 does fine with low resistances. Just higher wattages means less battery life.
No problems here with the Kanger RBA head, well not since I put a slightly smaller o-ring on the key.
I have a Smok Nord and the mesh coils for it. It is my wife's. When I change a coil for it I open up the used one to see how bad it was. From what I see these coils work well but require changing quite often.
I just bought a Snowwolf Wocket, it's coils look almost the same as the Nord coils (almost)

A ofl feedback, thanks. Do I have this right:
If I recall, there were (still are) alot of complaints about the Boro tank leaking. Yet that is the tank I would need to use almost all the RBA build decks I mentioned above.
The A tank, which I have not heard of any leaking issues, is really for drop in coil Bridges, which I'd rather not use.

I haven't really heard of any issues with the Boro tank leaking,you may be thinking of the Boxxer tank,that one i have seen several complaints of leaking on.
Yeah I won't call it leaking...more a bit of sweating. The same with the A tank.
The Boxxer...now there's a champion leaker

@b.m. I stand corrected. All new terminology gets a bit confusing.
So to use the SXK (initially) with RBA decks- the kit comes with the Kanger RBA head (which I may or may not like.) But the unit also comes with the Boro tank.
SO- If I were to get another Boro tank and 2 RBA decks I would be good to go? As far as the options for RBA deck- do thee all fit in the Boro and what the the + / - to each:
Insider- seems to require a bit more precise wicking as far as amount of cotton (?)
Exocet
Vape Shell.

I agree,when i first started reading this thread and thinking of getting a Billetbox,my head was spinning from trying to keep track of what was what haha.
Yes,it comes with the standard boro tank,kanger rba,and adapters for the Kanger socc heads and nautilus heads.
I haven't tried the Insider or Exocet,so i can't say how they are,but the Vape shell is nice and fairly easy to build on,for me,the wicking seems a bit tricky with it,just a bit too much and it dry hits,and a bit too little,and it will flood.When it's just right,it is a great piece though.It just takes a bit of trial and error to get the tails right,or at least it did for me.
If you buy a spare Boro tank,just make sure it's the standard one and not the A tank,as Ft sells both of them.
From 40w on the vape is erratic as if the battery didn't have enough juice. It's been long discussed in various threads. Personally, if I build below 0.5 I'll vape at around 4.2v and it poses a problem. Depends always on your vaping style, the coil you're using and the battery. I find that the BB (specially the original) doesn't fare well on used batteries, prefers new ones, and I have to change them every three months or so. Search DNA60 in the forum and take a look.
If one wishes to run a DNA60 hard a cell rated for 25 amp continuous is needed. Personally I use LG HD2's (25 amp) and Samsung 20S' (30 amp)
Below is the data sheet for the DNA60 and a list of Mooch's 18650 test results.

Just in case anyone is interested in seeing the Bantam Box internals.

Hey Guys - new to this thread but not to BBs. I’ve really enjoyed reading all your posts and even learned a bunch - thx. (so many coil new options - Fasttech hear me roar!)
I have 5 SXKs and 2 OGs - will post a pic of the fam soon. and …thanks to all y’all I have 2 more coming ….. sigh.
I’m no stranger to TC but haven’t used it on BBs and think I might like to but I just can't seem to figure out how
. Could some nice person please guide me in the right direction? 
Edit: figured out the "menu" (don't know why I didn't check it out before) - now over to Escribe to set up profiles I guess. I've use it with each BB but just for screen rotation.
