Yes lovely....mine came yesterday but it's not fitted yet :)
I came across another for the full sized BB. But on the clone it'll obstruct the USB port, and on the original I'll lose the seal. So I'm giving up. Besides it's expensive on the BB.

Hi Susaz...

Yes one thing that BB's aren't is cheap, especially if you start down the accessories route. I suppose you've seen the SXK BB gold plates? They've got the usb cutout :)

With the original you can always reseal with a tiny bit of silicone lubricant around the plate fixing recess so not an issue really imo. Hope you got all your probs sorted :)

Very versatile foam, makes a great button spring too on the OG lost vape Drone when all the little arms have broken.
That's the foam we used to refill 901 cartridges (not cartos) back in 2009... Love the stuff, still have loads somewhere.

They're great. I use the .3 ohm coils on the large BB with the Sony VTC5A. Left my Cascade baby behind

I saw that those coils require an A Tank but didn't see mention of a bridge ... is one required to use those or just the tank?

Those coils are Atlantis compatible, so the bridge included with the A Tank fits them perfectly.

Thank You!

I hate to admit this but I completely spaced the fact that the A Tank comes with a bridge not to mention, neglecting to check myself on the compatibility of those coils. :blush:

Oh well, does the fact that it's Monday help my case any?

:laugh:

SXK BB arrived today- can't wait to fire it up.
BUT- I went to do a build the SXK vapeshell- and dead stop at step 1. ($@%!$@#)
I cannot get the grub screws to back out (loosen). Tried 3 different mini philip screw drivers- they are not budging. I even wrapped the vapshell base body in duct tape so I could hold it with pliers for more leverage. Not happening.
So, someone please say "oh, all you have to do is ........" (fill in the blank. please)

Yeah agree. If it was mine, i'll go with freezing first. That don't work, i'll heat the screw area with my micro torch....not the screw itself, only the post..That don't work i'll clamp it in the vice, set the screwdriver on it with a little pressure while softly tapping the top of the screwdriver with a small hammer, while turning the driver.
If that don't work...I guess i'm screwed :p

Awesome!
It's a great rig, mine lives in the cellphone pocket of my jacket and is always with me.

Every now and then unscrew the drip tip adapter (it's called a key in BB lingo) and remove the borro, you'll probably find some a fair bit of condensation behind it. Give the borro and the area it fits in a wipe down with some damp paper towel then put it back together. It accumulates back there because of the way the air flow goes through the body.
Question! I'm thinking of setting up a vape station just by the front door. Grab a mod, batteries, a spare tank or coil (that's why I love Nord coils, with a carto pusher you can change them even with the tank full of juice) and run out the door. Any ideas? I think I can rig something simple such as a plastic box to hold everything...

I managed to get the screws out. The freezer (alone) didn't help. I soaked the build deck in some vape juice over night (after about an hour in the freezer). Screws came out without too much of a fight.
The glass on one of the new Boro tanks also was refusing to budge yesterday. An over night soaking in juice released that as well.
All's good in Vapetown.
