How long should a 2K16 last, so long as you don't drop it? Wondering how many to have on hand in case you can't get them anymore.
The o-rings will fail first, and of course the tanks - by either breaking them, or the threads no longer working well. As long as you have spares of all these, and the deck screws, I see it lasting for a really long time.
I noticed that SXK have newly released a black/gold version of the 2k16:
$13.98 SXK Doggystyle 2K16 Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 3.5ml / 316 stainless steel + PC / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping
I was able to find the o-rings from a previous post on this forum, but what about the deck screws? How do you get those?
I was able to find the PC tanks here, which is such a great idea. I will stock up on those: $6.32 Replacement PC Tank for Doggystyle Doggy RTA Atomizer (5-Pack) 5-pack at FastTech - Free Shipping
The steel components, I imagine they will last for a very long time unless they rust. I haven't seen indications of rust so far.
I don't think those are the doggy topfill tanks but the bottom ones. I have been patiently waiting for the top fill tanks to return maybe with this new doggy they will restock (I think it is ugly as sin, personally but to each their own.)
Wait! I think I am wrong! I may need to order some.

If you're careful screwing them on, they should last virtually forever. And you do NOT have to screw it on very tight at all, which makes it easier to fill. Seriously, just until it stops, then maybe 2-3 mm more. It won't leak, and it'll make the threads last longer. You'll be able to get orings, and probably screws that fit indefinitely as well. The insulators, though, could break at any time (or never), so it might be a good idea to have a few on hand.

But really, they're so cheap, if you like them, I'd pick up a few at a time until they're gone.
It's funny that I hadn't been using mine since I got my True & Precisios, but got one out last month for the heck of it. I've been keeping it in the rotation. I still love the tank- doesn't hit quite as good as Precisio & True, but so bloody simple and reliable, and I still love the size and look of it.
These ones:

but I'm pretty sure these work too:

I haven't tried the topfill. I vape NET so by the time I go through a tank I have to rebuild coil and wick. I figure if I don't need to topfill, it's just one less component to go wrong.
So based off various helpful posts in this thread I've developed a shopping list to essentially become your own DIY SXK Doggy repair shop. For my purposes I am referring to the bottom fill version, not the top fill.
First is a generous supply of atomizers to start with: $10.79 SXK Doggystyle Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 3.5ml / stainless steel + PC / 22mm dia. at FastTech - Free Shipping
Then there are the parts, some of which may or may not be lost or break down over time:
Spare tanks: $6.32 Replacement PC Tank for Doggystyle Doggy RTA Atomizer (5-Pack) 5-pack at FastTech - Free Shipping
Replacement screws: $4.25 Replacement Center Screw for Doggy RTA Atomizer (5-Pack) 5-pack - stainless steel at FastTech - Free Shipping
Replacement post insulators: $4.25 Replacement Post Insulator for Doggy RTA Atomizer (5-Pack) 5-pack - PEEK at FastTech - Free Shipping
Regarding o-rings, I have not measured myself, this is what I've seen from a previous post on this thread. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I chose red silicone. There are other colors/materials out there.

That's all I can think of.
Doggystyles are seemingly made very well, including the poly tank. Dropped my mod and doggy 3 ft on to concrete.. still works perfectly.
Glad I bought extra doggys anyway, I love em. So simple, so easy to coil, wick, vape.. etc.
I've got the sjmy versions, but I'm guessing they are made just as well as SXK

There not indestructible though.
That's too bad. I've had a few of my orders take 1-2 months ever since the new year and the whole coronavirus thing. Hope it comes soon.
Yikes, always good to have a backup or 5.
I have an order that shipped April 30, still in preparing for shipment... I think I will put in a ticket and try to findwhat is going on. I haven't worried what with what is going on, but getting worried.
I put n a ticket and got the normal "We'll look into it", "They'll investigate it", etc... Then they told me I should have used USPS! I did!!! Now what??? But they did say they will either send it again or my money back.
