I think I'm actually going to go with the SXK Nautilus bridge and get those 0.7 ohm ceramic Nautilus 2 coils.

Anyone know where I can buy JUST the bridge on its own? Seems silly to drop $35 on the authentic.

BTW, the flavor on the Kanger ceramic heads is great, but ramp up sucks even at 40W... I'd avoid them bc of that.

If you're contemplating the MF bridge for DL coils, I know a guy ;) who was selling one, coils and all (@troydestroy ). I bought the whole kit from the MF store, about $70 because I was looking at MTL stuff (had just ordered the coils from FT)but it'll take two mf-ing weeks to get it. In a way it works out OK since that's about the time the coils from FT will arrive. Other than that, @Le Furet is one option, another would be to order the bridge from Greece. I think FT still has the boro tanks (SXK) but I couldn't tell you how they work with the authentic BB.

Yeah I'm looking for MTL and it looks like those 0.7 ohm Nautilus coils will fit the bill for me.
I'm going to put the feelers out to see if I can grab an extra SXK Nautilus bridge bc I don't want to break into the one that came with my Dober 70W. I plan to sell it and want to keep it crispy!

i read a thread on a clone BB that mentioned the boro being a main difference. Some buy the sxk bb and factory order authentic boro

i ordered sxk insider and vape shell this week, will order a BB in this weekend's run

The "aspire" or was it "bvc" bridge that comes with the sxk fits Nautilus coils

Boros are basically identical except for color of gasket. Authentic is orangeish, sxk is red and slightly translucent.
I've ran both in authentic and sxk boxes with no problems

Finally got round to setting up my Fawkes with the OCC bridge and a 1.2 ohm Kanger OCC coil.

Using a 12mg tobacco liquid and loving it at around 20W. No leaks or anything from the tank.

Think I might order a MF bridge, anyone using the MTL setup ? whats it like ?

If it had the Aspire bridge, I would be tempted. It seems that tomorrow is the soonest I get to try my MoP buttoned BB. I'm tempted to order the MTL Insider but then again, I have the MF kit on its way, the SXK VapeShells shipped 10 days ago......I better simmer down and wait.

I know, but today was a long azz week for me. It started at 4:00 am, by 6:00 it turned to crap, by 9:00 or so it was full on s**t and it got worse from there. It can wait until tomorrow....
Just about now I want to say : Stop the world, I want to get off!

Nothing to be sorry about, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Well, there is that to look forward to, by the time I get all the bits and pieces together I should be able to get the plugs from @troydestroy too.

Just a PSA -

I just got a in-stock product alert from 3fvape that they now have the SXK clone of the A-Tank in stock, which is for Atlantis coils:

http://www.3fvape.com/misc/19675-sx...pom-glass-only-for-aspire-atlantis-coils.html

I just ordered 2 of them, and hoping that the Triton RBA head will fit, if not, I will have the option for the other Aspire coil heads.

The Triton RBA head lets you easily build a vertical coil (which I prefer) and is kinda like a poor-man's Bastard Coil.

A few months back I scored a pair of Triton RBA heads for $1 ea. and have been planning for an A-tank since then.

The BB Authentic A-tank is $62, and I really dont want to spend that much for a piece of Delrin and glass, so this is good timing.

Hopefully some of you guys can grab one of these before they sell out again.

Did you ever come up with drill/tap/screw lock-solution?

If you mean for use in a standard round tank - then no.

Like you had mentioned previously, anything that uses the top-threads will likely open the top of the coil (and destroy it by unraveling the coil wire), and also when removing from the base, unless you grip the knurlings at the bottom of the coil (instead of the top) with some pliers, also will likely open the top of the coil - so I have set that project aside for a while, and figured if I could instead get an A-Tank, none of that will matter any more since everything is simply pressed together and held with o-rings in the BB tank set-ups.

The only threading involved with the A-tank, seems to be that threaded adapter ring for the base of the coil, and seems to me that once installed, can be left on the Triton RBA head during rebuilding.

This is all speculation as of now. But for $1 for the Triton RBA and ~$8 for the SXK A-Tank, I am willing to roll the dice that it will work, and if not, the backup plan will be to try some Atlantis coils and compare them to the Kanger SSOCC coils for if/when I am too lazy or unable to rebuild/re-wick...

The SXK BB clone comes with bridges for Kanger and Aspire coils, but there is zero documentation in the box, and I have no idea exactly which Aspire coils this bridge is meant for...so I am a bit in the dark about that right now as well.

I'm pretty sure it is for the BVC coils, the ones for the Nautilus/Nautilus Mini/Triton Mini

Bold choice! I really dig that colorway.



Just a general shameless plug:

My SXK Dober 70W is in the classies with a JMK tip/button set.

Thanks for the heads up! I've been needing one to test fit plugs but don't think I'll ever use it... Hard to pay the +$60 in that case. Hopefully it's 1:1 as the sxk standard boros are

Is there a set time that they go up on Saturdays? I'm 14 hours in front of New York, so probably middle of the night here. Luckily I am a night owl
