SXK Billet box...

[TrollDragon]

The EUC coil sits at basically the same height in the Atlantis adapter.

They appear to sit a bit lower in the MF Bridge which allows you to use a regular borro instead of the A-tank.

There is also another EUC coil bridge where the coil openings are much closer bottom of the tank, but I forget the name of that one.

........ and discovered some of these coils I had lying around

Hope you can find what type of material is in those coils. In my old tired mind, Aspire used to use Red to denote Nickel.

Its the older Vaporesso C Cell ones..flavors not to bad.

When it comes to you, id be interested to know.... I don't like the wick openings that far from the bottom.

 

[chanelvaps]

Yeah it takes a bit of figuring out. I got my A tank and discovered some of these coils I had lying around forever
View attachment 813905 Didn't know if it'll work. I tried fitting it multiple ways, and in the end it came together. Not straight forward though. Coils are a bit high up of the bottom. Will have to tilt it to keep the cotton soaked I suppose

AHA, so I wondered about that. I have some of those coils laying around too. You just insert the coil and thats it? Use the adapter that comes with the A box atop the coil?

 

[Fredman1]

Yes the coil screws into the short adaptor and that goes onto the contact on the box. The recessed adaptor goes topside the coil and connects to the mouth piece.

I don't mind the opening that far up as the coil will get juice when you tilt the BB to vape. It would be better if the openings were closer to the bottom of the tank. I am usually filling the boro before the juice level gets below the coil openings anyway. If I need to empty the tank I just use the bottle to suck out the remaining juice.

Yeah that's true. Actually another reason why I love this BB...its a true gadget. Its got that something extra that makes vaping a hobby

I should have got one when the Rev 4 came out, but I didn't think I'd use it back then.

I done with the hobby/novelty factor on most things, a few years ago I would have been switching from the VapeShell to the Insider and onto the Exocet every other day, rebuilding them weekly and looking for new bridges. These days all I want to do is pop an EUC or EC-Mesh coil and vape till it's time to change it out. RBA maintenance was not for me on the BB, I've been spoiled by easy access decks on RTAs.

But thats is just me.

I think I am missing a piece then. My A box came with two pieces. One shorter wide one that the coil does fit into and it is threaded. Another small thinner piece, almost looks like a drip tip.
Is something supposed to come from the other box and connect to this? Or something from the BB itself?

 

[BillW50]

chanelvaps, that's right, just two pieces. Although the smaller piece screws on the bottom of the coil. The thicker piece goes on top and just lays there. It screws into some coils, but not all.

 

[TrollDragon]

The A-Tank has two pieces with it, a tube with o-ring that goes in the upper part of the tank and a threaded ring that goes on the coil and into the bottom.

The EUC coils have an adapter that comes apart so you can put the coil in it.

Put the coil in the EUC adapter, screw the threaded ring onto the bottom of that coil.
Insert the non o-ring side of the first tube through the top of the A-Tank, slide the coil up through the bottom o-ring until it slides into the upper tube. Sometimes it might be easier to put the coil in the tank first and then push it through the bottom, leave enough room to put the upper tube into the top of the tank and slide them both together. Lube up the o-rings with a little VG to help.

theres those exact instructions I was looking for ... if there was a salute emoji I would use it here.
Accomplished and waiting for the coil to saturate

 

[chanelvaps]

it works! I love it!

Quick follow-up, in case anyone cares.

I got my three authentic boro tanks in today and installed one of my Exocet clones into one of the tanks. The glass on the authentic is infinitely easier to install and glides right into place with no bunching of the gasket and seals perfectly. In fact, as I was wiping the tank before installing it the dry paper towel grabbed the glass and the tank actually opened from that slight amount of friction. It is night and day in comparison.

I may order a few gasket kits from BB to see if that is the magic piece of the puzzle.

IMHO SXK uses the cheapest orings out there, in their products.

Well, the gasket material looks a bit different on the authentic tanks, bit less opaque. I just ordered four Care Kits from BB Vapor which should keep my three authentic tanks going for a while. I may try the BB gasket in my clone A Tanks and see if that makes them easier to use but for my standard tanks all the SXK's will either be sold or relegated strictly to emergency back-up duty. I have more than a few of the black clone tanks that are brand new. Ugh.

I have 10 Boro tanks and 10 A-tanks (all SXK). And some are better than others. So I wouldn't judge it on a few.

I have at least 12 of the SXK tanks and all of them that I have tried so far are near impossible to use without the gasket bunching up and jumping out if the groove. I can't imagine it's me - the authentic tanks are as smooth as butter. The clones may be usable, but barely, in my experience - especially when compared to the authentics.

I know this - if I ever do need to buy any more tanks they will not be clones. Not worth the hassle IMO, even at 1/5th the cost. Maybe I'm just a drama queen...but I have little patience for stuff that won't act right.

Edit to add: Glad they are working for you, wish I was having the same luck.
