SXK Delro

[Pigs]

Just to clarify...do you take the o ring off, wind two winds tape on, then put the o ring back over the tape again...kicking the o ring out some?

I just did one turn with mine and so far no seepage. Will try two turns if I start getting some.

It will be more matchymatchy if you give Bludger the same colour nails.

He's an old fashioned elephant. No chance.

One wrap is probably good, two does make the tank hard to get apart.

The tape definitely works. One wrap leaves me with a sliver. I'll pick it up a notch and go with two wraps at the next dry burn

I got lucky and managed to find one of the dna Ultem SXK Delros

So where do I start looking for one mate?

Mate I've been trying to find another one ever since. i bought mine from a local online vape retailer in Sydney. It's by far my favourite ever mod. Puffing away on it now.

I have the feelers out locally so if SXK do another production run I might get a tap on the shoulder. Will PM you if I do.

 

[Fredman1]

Yes plz do mate. It'll be highly appreciated
I see it on a Malaysian site, but I feel a bit uncomfortable going that way.

I just had a look at that Shopee site - it seems a little vague. I agree with you feeling uncomfortable

 

[AngeNZ]

I'd hold off too Fred. Or at least purchase something small and cheap from the same store first.

It looks similar to how Aliexpress is setup, which at least guarantees your money refunded if the seller doesn't deliver. But I dunno if Shopee has the same guarantee.

 

[Fredman1]

Nah it don't look like they have it in stock...maybe better.

Got the SXK Dope clone in the Ultemo.(Nearly out of juice!)
Good combo for how I vape.

Love mine too, but man that battery level looks like mine most of the time. That's really my only gripe... those darned fixed little batteries Still great to use though.

True and that's why I always have two on the go.
Trade off I guess. Size v capacity. At least the SXK version is 2200mAh which is higher than the 1600/1800mAh of the authentic.

Did you get yourself any spare batteries?

Did you get yourself any spare batteries?

Sure did. Do you remove the little screws to replace them or is there a "quick swap" trick? Luckily I drive a fair bit, so plugging in to USB in the car helps a ton

There's a how-to blurb on the Vapes by Enushi website. That's for the authentic but will apply for our clones.

I'm sure the tolerances will be tight and I'm not looking forward to the day when it will become necessary.

I wanted a spare battery, but FT can't ship it to USA now for some reason. Found it at 3F but $9 shipping ordered one anyway. I guess I shouldn't have waited. I'm thinking maybe wrap it and put it in my juice fridge.

LOL...I was thinking the same, but since found out these new batteries don't like temperature extremes....hot or cold. I'll just box it, and leave it somewhere at room temperature

@borno if you mean you're going to store your spare lipo battery in the fridge - you probably know that there are risks relating to condensation. Here's what Mooch says in his "Battery Myths". Not sure if this relates to lipos the same as li-ion:

MYTH #8: You can increase the life of a li-ion battery by storing them in the refrigerator.

FACT #8: It makes almost no difference to the “calendar” life of a battery by keeping it in the refrigerator when not being used. Keeping it at room temperature is fine and prevents any possible condensation and rusting issues from keeping them at cold temperatures. Never freeze them! That can damage the battery and is a safety issue if you try to charge them at below 0°C/32°F. Batteries are best if they’re being used though. Cycle through them all instead of storing some and using some.
