That figures,i debated between ordering the YFTK and SXK,and decided to go with the Sxk version because YFTK almost never meets their pre order dates,but when i don't go with them they get it right haha.

The SXK has a date on it now: ETA: 9/30/2019 (9 days) , not long to wait :)

Yeah,i just hope they can meet their date like YFTK did.If not,i may have to switch my order around,as the YFTK one is showing another batch shipping in 2 days.I hate pre orders,so i'm already getting impatient haha.

flat driptip.jpg

I ended up finding out what drip tips these are..
NeverNormalz
Products
$40-$45 (beyond my vape budget), and a lot of the colours are sold out :( But they may interest some people here:

Excellent design, I really like how they have a wide base and they cover the nut, they seem to have a hollow in the bottom so they completely cover the nut, they look like they would be a nice firm fit...

It's a pity China don't make any decent flat/whistle tips, all the ones I've got I have to wrap dental-floss around under the o-rings to make them a firmer fit, and they're still not the best due to their narrow bases and/or short 510 section.... I wish they would make a flat/whistle tip MTL version of the Bantam drip-tip (which has a nice wide base)...

If anyone comes across any decent flat/whistle tips, point them out thanks..

:)

I went with the SXK version too. I've found their quality to be really good lately

It will be interesting to see how the YFTK and the SXK compare...

I only jumped on the YFTK because it was the first to come up and their other clones appear to be great quality... I plan on using BB's in the long term so if the Xeta is better than the Crossbow and Insider V2 I'll probably order a second one, whichever version is better... The Xeta looks like it will be easier to build with the coil-leg clamps, time will tell...

In time I think I'll get a second Bantam and another DNA60 BB if they release another batch, I like to double up on the gear that works for me, and with buying all these bridges I'm fairly committed to this form factor so it seems wise to have backups for everything.. I LOVE AIO's and I cant see a better AIO system coming along anytime soon...

I agree it's the best ever AIO design. It might be minor (?) sacrilege on this thread but why wait for another release of the SXK BB 60 - pay the extra pesos and get the authentic. The finish and feel in the hand is so much better. The beautiful fit and smoothness of the G10 doors and the attention to detail makes it worth it to me.

I'll never buy an authentic since Doug Dino installs a neutered DNA60. A DNA60 without an USB connection is worthless to me. I really don't care about the internal charging part, just the connection to EScribe. But I don't think Doug really cares. Since he doesn't manufacture enough with the demand he has now.

My exact thoughts concerning data port. The price of the OG seems reasonable enough. (If it had the USB)

There is an authentic for sale on the other forum right now,that is the exact color i really want,Dober,at a great price,but not having the usb port will keep me from buying it,which sucks because i really want it haha,but that is definitely a deal breaker.

Easy to make a USB jig to load up all your custom profiles and wires CSV's, that's what I did with mine. How often are you going to attach it to eScribe anyway. ;)
True and I some devices I connect up to EScribe all of the time and some devices I just do it once. Running TC more so than not. And if your vape isn't vaping well and the resistance looks fine, a quick look under EScribe will tell you virtually immediately what is wrong. The extra few bucks to add an USB is money in the bank to me. Until Doug sees this, he ain't getting my money.

I can't see myself ever buying an authentic, I'm quite content with the quality of the SXK..

I'm fairly careful with my devices but crap-happens, I don't abuse them but between motorbikes, hiking, kayaking/boating and such, the risk of damage is high.. Occasional falls and such, I had one fall out of my shirt pocket into a creek once, and I travel remote/outback Australia a lot so my gear gets shaken around a fair bit on corrugated and rocky tracks offroad...

With the reasonable cost of the SXK if one gets damaged or lost it's not a big deal, if I had an authentic I'd be reluctant to use it due to fear of damage or loss...

+ I like the USB, I've only had a quick play with EScribe so far but I can see myself using it more when I get back into TC... (I'll get the hang of all the RBA's on VW before I dive back into TC)

I rarely charge via USB but it's good to have for the odd occasion I'm caught out with a low battery, and when I'm crossing the deserts and such I don't carry a charger, I just charge via the USB port in my tank bag, or via a power-bank in the tent at night (+ I carry a complete spare device with spare battery as a backup in my backpack) ..

How's that for justification of clone use? :thumbs:

3fvape seem to have real photos of the YFTK Xeta on their site now, they're not the manufacturer photos of the original that were there before:
https://www.3fvape.com/rebuildable-atomizer-supply/40063-yftk-haku-xeta-inside-style-rba-rebuildable-atomizer-for-bb-box-mod-kit-silver-316-stainless-steel-ultem.html
yftk-haku-xeta-inside-style-rba-r.jpg

and they include the little blue chinese screwdriver and silver hex/allen-key which suggests that's the finished product, the OG had a black hex-key and no screwdriver, other than needing a bit of a clean it all looks good:

Give it time and experiment with it.Don't make the same mistake i did,try a few things,get frustrated,and rush to get rid of it.That's what i did,then regretted it,so bought everything over again to start over.Now,this time,i have been trying different builds,different coils,etc. and am getting to really like it.
