Have the brass one. Tonight topped it with a brass derringer clone and headed to the bar for dinner.

Received a couple "what is that" comments. Fog bank was rolling in lol.

Tiny derringer clone in brass makes a perfect dripper for this little guy. If I could only find a brass or gold plated goblin mini for the perfect tank . . .
Just picked up a brass kraken....great combo...

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a Nebula or SXK Zero v3 from 3fvape for my first TC device. The IPVs and sigelei are either too large, or too small/poor construction. The new Kooper Mini looks pretty interesting, but I haven't seen a lot on it. The smok X Cube looks a bit overly complicated for a day to day vape. Can anyone comment on the newer SXK Zeros with the mixed color paint schemes? Same firmware as the newer Nebulas? Does 3fvape seem like a good place for up to date devices?

Honestly my first TC device was the Waidea vapor flask clone. 3fvape still has th em in stock. The SXK chip isn't the best when it comes to TC. It's not horrible by any means either. I have no experience with the mixed paint zeros but they all share the same chip. 3fvape usually has the latest mods. Up to you. Here's a review of one of those mixed paint zeros by SXK.

Black nebula on 3fvape. Can't go wrong with $47 on sale now. Cheaper than Ft by $8 I think.

To save me watching the whole thing, does he talk about Nickel Purity in that review?

He does and even whips out his digital temperature meter and adjusts the NP accordingly to his wire. His nickel topped out at 403° F at a NP value of 90, his Ti at 400 NP value of 46 and SS at 400 NP value of 12. He also sed his mod was reading his coils a little low. So maybe SXK slacked off on putting the updated version of the chip in that mod? I wish he took it apart like he usually does, but he didn't with this zero.

Wonder how safe this thing is to charge via USB?

The screwed in Battery Cover is a little bit of a bummer, But a bit safer should there be battery issues.
(If you're out and about without a screwdriver tho all you can do is toss the mod on the ground and watch it go up in smoke...)

I have a couple chargers on my bedroom floor that have micro USB cables running up to a night stand and I usually just charge my Nebby via USB along side my phone at night while I sleep. I threw in a vtc5 and locked that brass door up with the screws and never looked back. A month of USB charging and still alive, both me and the mod, LOL. Plus it's nice to wake up at 4:30 a.m. and see that bright blue USB charge indicator led on my Nebby light up the bedroom, ready for another round.:)

Same here. I only use the nebula at night when I go out so a charge lasts several days. The battery should live for several years. I haven't had it very long but the brass one already gets a lot of favorable attention. No issues at all with the built in USB charger.

Found out Sxk does make big screen VS in black and blue matte finishes. But the are asking $48 a piece and $24 shipping. Plus $4 fee.

Think I'm just going to wait.

What's the site cause all of the clones I know of have .85 size screen and that's not even close to the big screen on my real Vaporsharks. That a decent price. It's not likely many other sites offer exactly what you're looking for. I'd just pull the trigger. What if they sell out, what if they pull them off the site, or worse, the entire market. Buy buy buy it now!!!!:w00t:

I actually contacted Betty from Sxk on skype. She said for two it was going to be $124 and some change.

She sent me this pic.

I found that VS clone on dhgate. It shows the same stock pic you just posted. It is listed as rubber coated. Interestingly, the also list the same blue rubber choosing on a vaporflask, though the picture does not show the display.

Yea shopping on dhgate is like Russian roulette. The blue flask is available on 3fvape small screen.
