SXK Billet box...

[Pigs]

No, but that’s next on my purchase list. I’ve seen YouTube reviewers jai haze fumble around with it and get frustrated

That was a stupid review. I watched that - his gripe was that he couldn't get the Vapeshell to sit square on to the glass of the Boro. What he didn't work out is that it's better on a slight angle for wicking but he does "out of the box" reviews with very little thought and plenty of hype.

Well so far regarding bridges I tried original sophia v1,v2, clones of vapeshell, crossbow, sxk xeta, original diver v2, clone insider v2, Kanger Subtank rba. For my mtl style I like them in that order I wrote regarding flavor but I use sophia more in tank then boro because of ease of use. So vapeshell and crossbow get used the most in boros.

Nice to know my old sophia and divers will work in this thing. I still have a bunch of them from my carto tank days. Heck I might still have cartos in drawer somewhere.

Sophia is tricky without bb kit because you must fill the boro while you already open juice flow because with bb 510 screw you cant do that when its mounted in. I did it and didnt have a leaks but its better with sophia bb kit where 510 is open so you can regulate her while in boro.

Anyone tried the on board charger? I normally use a external charger but it has a status light above the usb the turns green once charged. Very handy if out and running low

I have and it works

I charge all my DNA powered mods with the on board charger except for when the cells are brand new. All have a charger built by Evolv but the charger in the SXK Billet boxes are from another supplier.

There's a fellow posting in the FT forum that the SXK Xeta is copied from the pre-production Xeta. The main difference is that a 3 mm coil won't fit in the pre-production one. Mine is from YFTK and can accommodate a 3 mm coil. Anyone with an SXK Xeta, can you verify this?

This may not be accurate, but this is the SXK photo of the deck and it's definitely the production deck.

and here's my YTFK purchased from the first batch, it appear the same as that SXK pic?:

3mm ID coil, 0.3mm wire = 3.6mm OD...

Any idea what size (width) of that pink round stone tool? I see different sizes are sold.

EDIT: You can see the discoloration on the bottom part of the stone. That's the only part that touched the boro. You do not want to go deep enough to reach the channel the o-ring sits in. I also did it on a pretty slow speed. Too fast and it will take it down too quickly to control.

The line on the bottom shows the part that's been changed from the prototype. The sloppy round lines on the top roughly show how the prototype was. For anybody who may not have seen that.

I did it at first, just to see if it worked, but I always charge mine in the charger.

But it’s good in a pinch nice to have options that the original doesn’t, for some reason.......

My sxk bb usb charging port is no longer working, guess juice has got into it, it still lights up red to show charging and shows charging on the screen, even goes to green, but the battery isn't actually charging, not had time to take apart yet to see what it looks like inside.

I don't have to tell you, but that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

How could it report at all about the battery if it's not connected to it? Where is this report of a full charge coming from if it doesn't see the battery? If it does have a sound connection to the battery to report on it's state, you'd think it would have a sound enough connection to charge it too.

I understand that the data circuit is probably separate from the charging circuit, but then the data circuit should be reporting, or at least displaying symptoms of there being a problem with the charging circuit.

Reporting and displaying everything as normal, but not actually doing anything makes no sense.

I've been dealing with computers for a long time, so I know that it's a machine and there's always an answer. It's only doing what it thinks it was told to do.

I agree, which made me think it was the battery, but nope have tried 2 other batteries and the same thing, it is really strange.

Check to see if it will power on with just the data cord (no battery)

It's in the bedroom where the wife is sleeping, when she gets up, I will check.

What is normal for a DNA 60? Should it start with no battery from the USB power only? I have a feeling you know these things

Yes it does power on with usb connected and no battery in.
