Well it should work OK in that tank that's available for BB atties but sure isn't going to work in a Boro Box.
Should be some interesting posts over at FT pretty soon. I'm not going to tell them.

Care to explain why those won't work to someone new to the whole BB thing?
The chimney section becomes part of the circuit that connects the positive contact from the board (under the Boro tank) to the chassis/body of the Billet Box which is the negative contact. PEI is not a conductor so this new PEI chimney section can't work in a Boro/BB. The circuit won't close and the BB won't fire the coil.

AH gotcha. TY for the explanation. The SXK version of the tank though should be ok since it is all metal then. I guess it is a good thing I totally crapped out when I tried to search for BB stuff on Fasttech and ended up going to 3F. I accidentally ended up with the right stuff.

The first SXK and the YTFK clones of the Xeta RBA were both 1:1 clones of the Haku original. They work great in the Boro tank and yours will. This is a new "option" that looks cool...but shouldn't work.
Also it's not the chimney section that's PEI - I got that wrong - I guess it's called the barrel? Anyway you'll see in the picture that Flick posted links to.

Thinking on getting a SXK BB, first wanted to get an original but pretty expensive and hard to get in the EU.
Since the 60w DNA version is very similar I might pick up that one! Any tips?

Maybe it would be smart to wait a few more days for BlackFriday to hit discounts.
I'd be careful with waiting too long though. They just released the Orange and they're sold out already. The Purple is coming though.

As far as tips? Read this thread. There is also an Excellent thread called the "Billet Box Appreciation Thread" at an unmentionable site who's initials are VU.:rolleyes: POTV has some good discussions too.

Not trying to be dismissive or unhelpful, but there's just a wealth of information there.

Thanks! I think I’m just and ordinary guy who likes the black version the most, so I don’t think I will buy one of those special colours.

Not dismissive at all! And it is helpful.
Have been reading a lot in this topic, will check the others too!

Be very watchful on the black,as it is always seems to sell out fast.I bought my first BB,a black one during a labor day sale,and the day after i bought it,they went to discontinued on Ft.The black that are available now is a new batch,and may not last long either,the orange was only available maybe a month or so before it went discontinued at Ft.
I think it’s the DNA chipset vs their own not-DNA chipset.
SXK has 2 versions,1 with the Dna 60,and a 70 watt version that has their chip,as far as i know all the YFTK has the Dna 60,i have no idea on the difference between the 2 brands though,although i have never seen anyone post saying they had the YFTK,so for some reason it doesn't seem to be a popular one.

As others have said the original metal body YFTK Xeta is fine... (I have one, great quality)
$21.95 YFTK Haku Xeta Inside Styled RBA Rebuildable Atomizer for BB Box Mod Kit - 316 stainless steel + ultem at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

In a BB the chimney is the negative connection so there needs to be a conductive/metal connection between the deck and the chimney: A VERY rough pictorial:

They also offer the"plastic" barrels, I have no idea how they make it work?

"SHOWCASE CAPSETS"... so I guess non functioning?, just for show?...

They've probably made them to screw with the cloners, lol

Edit: it is possible they could embed a wire down the side to form the connection between the deck and chimney but I doubt that would be reliable for TC and such, it's unlikely you'd get a steady/accurate ohm reading I think...

Just dived in the BB ocean.. it’s deep!

So the Sxk comes with 2 bridges which are used for/in the Boro tank, which require the matching coil. Are these multiple Kangertech or Nautilus coils, or one specific coil?

Also the A-tank is somewhat similar to the Boro tank but can hold other coils from Atlantis and Vaporesso, because of the wider opening? -that’s what she said-

And I guess the box also comes with a rba-deck. Which coils are recommended for this deck?

Thanks, just trying not to drown in the Billet Box ocean! :thumbs:

It come with a modified Kanger Mini Subohm RBA and it's bridge, it comes with a bridge (chimney and collar) for using Kanger Sub-ohm drop in coils. It comes with a bridge for using Aspire Nautilus coils.
A Tank Boro, there are quite a few coils that fit Aspire Atlantis, as far as I know the A Tank can use all of them.
Edit: The A tank come with the necessary bridge pieces.
