Dare I ask how it's going? :)
So far so good. I’m going to build the Xeta today. Mindlessly filled the boro last night, so momentarily I’m stuck lol. Once I vape that down, I can move forward with the xeta. Trying to pick inserts/chamber reducer. I’m thinking the 4 hole with the middle size for the chimney.

To me at least, it seems the deck and chimney inserts always wind up looser than I imagined :D

One drawback is that you have to take it all apart, including the coil, in order the change the deck insert.

Even with the small two hole deck insert and the 3mm chimney insert, I'd call it a loose-ish mtl or very restricted dtl for instance.

Suck the juice back out with a syringe or empty juice bottle, lol ...

Before installing a coil in the Xeta put it all together in the boro & BB with the airflow inserts you think will work for you and give it a dry run, suck through it a few times to see if the airflow is how you like it....

Good luck :)

Wow..I wonder if this will end the use of the boro tank..

I'd love to try a snail but the Aussie dollar is so low at the moment it would cost me near on $60aud for the kit with the MTL inserts, it's not going to happen, too much $$...

Excellent advice for the patient sort :blush:
Xeta is already built and waiting. I’m almost to the bottom of the tank now. I’ll give it a run after dinner. I can always switch it out next refill time.

If I make it over to Brisbane in the Fall, I could always bring it and post it to you there.

Out of the 3, which one is 3mm? I have the 4 hole insert in the deck, middle size hole in the chimney and the condensation plug I got from skullkandy on. It seems a little tight... maybe it’s the condensation plug?

Thanks for the offer but that wont make any difference... No doubt our dollar will bounce back in time, I'm just a cheapskate, lol, I need to get my monies worth out of the couple of xetas before I throw more money down the rabbit hole ;) ..

I wouldn't get your heart set on coming to Australia anytime soon, it's almost certain we wont open our border this year, and when we eventually do everyone coming in will probably have to go into forced quarantine for 14 days, they've set up hotels as quarantine centers...

At the moment only Aussie citizens can get into the country and they all get quarantined.. I'm down in Tasmania, anyone from overseas has to do 14days quarantine on the mainland when they arrive in the country, then they have to do another 14 days after that when they arrive in Tasmania, we've gone fairly hardcore trying to stop this thing ...

I run my xeta fairly tight, the smallest single hole insert drilled out to 1mm, and the medium chimney insert, I found the condensation plug didn't make much difference, and I get almost no condensation, so I dont run a plug anymore... but... different air inserts and different vaping styles produce different amounts of condensation... (crossbow and insider produced lots of condensation for me, but the xeta doesn't)
