Justb a question guys. Which is a better clone of the xeta? YFTK or SXK?

People have reported they're the same but I don't know...

I bought my second YFTK Xeta from 3F in January and it came with a spare +ve posts, others here have found the same, so if I was going to recommend one I'd suggest the YFTK from 3F...

(I broke the +ve post on my first YFTK after 3 months use and a heap of builds, I bought it from FT when they were first released (being the first batch they may have been a bit dodgy), they sent me a replacement a few weeks ago, it's still bouncing around the mail system so I'm not sure if the FT ones include a spare +ve post (now) like the 3F ones do?/did)

I have an SXK DNA60... with all the bridges... and addons.

I flipped the screen so it matches an authentic, and I hid the USB port under the board with some electrical tape.

It's a clone with the same chipset, same performance, same materials, same aesthetic... and it cost over $400 CAD including taxes and shipping (for all the bridges, mod, and addons).

It's alright, but i'm glad I never went authentic.

I was just looking at them on Ft yesterday.They do have some that come with the spare post,but it is the ones that come with the different sleeves,like the black,ulem,etc.,the plain original one still doesn't show it,so not sure if they include with that too or not.To play it safe and know you'll get it with that one,i would stick with 3F.

I can't see much difference in quality, but the SXK will give you an extra positive clamp.

EDIT: It appears that I stand most humbly corrected. Apparently it is YFTK that includes the spare positive clamp. I got both of mine before either company included one.

I have the SXK 70 and dna 60. Ive noticed that my SXK 70w is draining the battery even when the mod isnt being used and sitting idle. Even if I shut it off it still drains my battery. Asking the experts. What might be causing this?

Maybe I'm wrong. I thought it was SXK that gave you the extra clamp.

On a side note, I bought a clear and a black barrel for mine and ended up going back to the stock barrel. The clear one worked, but I had inexplicable minor leaking with it. Not sure why and never looked into it.

The black one wouldn't make a connection. I need to sand it down a hair so the chimney will mate with the deck better. Haven't gotten around to that either.

Not sure if SXK ever started adding it or not.Yftk does though,all the ones i got from 3F had it included,and Ft shows it with the newer colored barrel versions,but doesn't show it with the original.

Honestly friend, I don't know anything about the 70 watt board except that it's an Ares board. Not that I'm any kinda DNA expert either.

I found a couple guys also saying that they were experiencing parasitic drain on the Ares driven SXK BB, but no solutions.

It's worth the extra money for DNA 60 bud. It works better and it's juice resistant with the electronic seal on the board. Just throwing it out there.

Your 100% correct, but at the time it was the only box instock...one of those impulse buys.

If I had to guess I'd say moisture/juice on the board, maybe pull it apart and clean it with contact cleaner or the likes, maybe seal the positive pin while it's apart if you haven't already...

Good catch, I hadn't noticed the spare post in the photos for the YFTK clear and black plastic barreled ones at FT, considering they're only 15 cents more than the original version and they include the spare post and metal barrel, it's probably a good way to go:

Any reason to buy the titanium one over the others?

At the time I made the purchase, which was at the beginning of April, it was surmised that the YFTK my have the stronger positive post. The Titanium was newly released as the 'top of the line' so that is what I purchased.

If your interested it is for sale since it makes too much intake noise for my DTL vape style.
