SXK DOGGY STYLE

[-Loom-]

Compared to the Doggy - yes, it's tall.

I personally don't mind. I like the industrial design with a focus on 'Form follows function'. Everything with the FEV is well thought with just the bare minimum of parts. Personally, I hate those attie-puzzles with 20 parts and 10 different o-rings.

Using it for 4 years now, and I'm still surprised by its simplicity. Literally not a single problem in all those years. And be sure to use those DLC wicks instead of mesh for liquid transport. Makes it even easier.

Ah, it's also possible to use bell-caps with the FEV. Add a shorter driptip, and it's not that tall anymore. Maybe double the size of the doggy.

I found the YFTK FEV 4.5 the best one so far. I own the original aswell, and it's 99% perfect, if not more. But Shenray and Ulton are also okay. FEV 4 has a single airhole, FEV 4.5 has dual airholes, but one can be closed. So you have the choce between MTL and restricted DTL with this model.

My sxk 2k18 finally turned up

Here some pics showing the difference between the two versions:

Sxk 2k16 left, sxk 2k18 center, sjmy 2k16 right

Eyeballing it, the 2k18 has an ever so slightly larger airflow hole than the sjmy.

Here's the major difference:

Sxk 2k16 left, sxk 2k18 right

The deck no longer has a gap all the way around - where you'd normally tuck in your tails. Instead it has wicking channels.

I'll let you know if it gurgles once it's built. If anyone can make a doggy rta gurgly - it's me

How do you like it?

I just refilled mine with the liquid and air control off and no problems at all. Filled it 100%. No air bubble at all.

I'll build it shortly and let you know. Good to know it doesn't gurgle ever after a 'ricks' fill

Here's my 2k18 report:

A tad quieter? than the 2018. Airflow is awesome - same as sjmy version. Flavour is awesome - same as 2k16

No leaking. Jfc works by using the drip tip to twist the chamber. Seems to work well. I top filled and had no gurgling whatsoever.

Found wicking easier, you have no choice but to poke the tails into the wicking channel - there's nowhere else they can go. This was awesome for someone who is ocd about tail positioning

Here's the deck wicked and ready to go:

Some comparison pics - 2k18 on left, 2k16 on right:




I do prefer the look of the original doggy - just love the clean lines of the tank and how simple and classic it looks. There's also a slight height difference.

Time will tell on which version gets the most use

Is the dt proprietary?

Great photos @AngeNZ

Is the dt proprietary?

Looks like it was swapped out for a 510 drip tip from Innokin

 

[AngeNZ]

Is the dt proprietary?

Nah, it's standard 510. I think it needs to be a tight fit to do the jfc thing, my zenith tip won't do it yet as it's too loose. Going to o-ring the bejezus out of it and try then.

Just jfc tested some of my drip tips. All of them work except those from innokin attys

So this is the one with a looser draw?

Yep, 2.5mm airflow hole diameter. I got this one:

Now if they would just add a glass tube I'd be on it.

I have the SXK with the tighter draw and like you Letitia I would love a glass tube but Iv'e gotten so used to it with the the great flavor vape it gives me that I don't even think about it anymore.

75% of my juices are heavy on the citrus. Glass is the only material I trust.

Gotcha.

Yeah if you are going to crack a tank, it's gotta be something spectacular like dropping it from a great height. Cracking it from just vaping ejuice isn't nearly as much fun

They have a PEI replacement tank - but I've got no idea if that's a citrus cracker.

Couple things:

For 2k16 users, how do you get on with 50/50 liquid? I started mixing at 50/50 the last couple of months and I've noticed a pretty significant increase in leaks/gurgles REGARDLESS of how I wick my 2.5mm coil I may go back to 70/30.

And, since I know there are Vaporesso Swag users in here...I just received a 2nd unit the last week or so. I noticed it had 1.03 firmware on it. Remembering I never upgraded my original from 1.01, I figured what the hell. I should have known better...if you have one with the 1.01 firmware, I'd suggest keeping it where it is. I've noticed a very large hit on battery life with both units. I was hoping they still had the 1.01 firmware available, but I couldn't find it.

I use 80% PG with no problems in mine. The 2K18 also. I have to see what firmware is on my Swag now.

It's been awhile, and I just wanted to drop in to say hi to all my Doggy lovers. Mine are still going strong, and have been the only atomizer I've used since around august of 2017 (Seems longer). Someone convince me that I don't need to try the new 2k18.

I wouldn't say you shouldn't try the 2K18, but I'd recommend you give this one a try:Calling all Dog lovers - The Ehpro True MTL RTA
