I wonder how much of that is metric vs Imperial measurements.

I'd about bet the house that its done in Metric for both BBV and SXK.
CAD etc. are default metric afaik
All falls down to their scanner and how precise it is and them cross referencing it with an original...
And how often they pull product during production and checking it against the original for QC
Yeah most things in vaping are metric.
Interesting though, I recently read that the latest run of SXK BBs the 510 is compatible with the authentic. I haven't seen any proof of that yet. Just food for thought

Last post on this as I've posted it several times and starting to feel like I'm beating a dead horse....
The Buna N orings on the authentic seem to be far better than the silicone on the SXK. Smoother, softer, slicker, more consistent in shape. Same size 1.5mm X 9mm

It would be great if they are compatible now,i want to get a flush fit key,but never wanted to spend $25-$30 just to find out if it will fit or not.I can say for sure JMK tips fit the SXK though,i have 1 SXK that was made back in 2017 and 1 made this year,and the JMK fits them both.
Oh no sir. That's not my trick. Everybody says to do that. The only thing I think I may have done a little differently, and by accident no less, was let them sit before use after juicing up the gaskets. They did get ALOT easier to work with, but maybe I just got a good batch or something too. If you find you're having hassles, get an authentic, is my thinking.
An informative post from HERE
I've never heard of the last part she's talking about with heat and rattling though. There must be something untoward going on there.

Where are you getting these from again? Sorry.
Those are the o-rings though. The problems people usually have is with the gaskets that seal the glass. At least that's what I thought.
I believe that's correct however I have not had any trouble with mine. Replacement gaskets are available from China or Pro Vapes.
I think it was Shady that suggested getting some authentic if you're in it for the long term. I agree, they are much better built. Tighter tolerance.
I bought the orings off Amazon cause that Xeta can be a real bitch on them if you don't get lined up right but I found my groove for the most part.
Edit the orings are same size but I don't think the boro gaskets match between SXK and authentic.

My YFTK Xeta was TIGHT in the bottom of the boro. Yeah, I had to get it straight in, but not a super big deal. I think I saw somebody on POTV saying his authentic was like that too. Yours is authentic right?
I don't know either. I don't recall anybody with both giving that information.
Unfortunately they are the only confirmed tips that fit both the authentic and the clone.
I just wish they would make something other than stainless or brass for the BB. Honestly just a black delrin tip over a stainless base would cover my needs.
Currently I'm using a KRV Flush 510 with a Never Normal whistle tip. Same on my Bantam. Definitely my favorite tips for Billet style mods.
I got an SXK from legend (cheap) and the Evolv authenticity check puts the board release in May, so pretty new. I got an authentic key from a guy on Reddit and it doesn't fit. Maybe this latest run of black and orange from SXK brought a change in that regard. I don't know.
In fact I'm still looking to trade that authentic key for a SS button.
Yeah the run to which they're referring is from this month or last if I remember correctly.I got an SXK from legend (cheap) and the Evolv authenticity check puts the board release in May, so pretty new.

Speaking of buttons, I remember I had a nice Mantis Minimal Timascus set that I sold earlier this year. Thought I'd miss it bc it's the only exotic metal anything I've owned vape-wise and he's out of business but I really don't. Weird.
I bet it’s fucking

Anyone aware of a better forum app than Tapatalk? It seems like once a month I have issues viewing forums, logging in, etc.
I agree.I like the brass tip and button set i got,but i like the black delrin Never normal doughnut tip much better.
So the KRV flush fit fits the SXK version?All i see on their site is the heat treated ones,but i don't care what color it is since it won't be seen anyway haha.
No, sorry. I pro ably wasn't clear. I have a seperate flush nut that I bought specifically for the Bantam in a group buy on FB. Stick with the SXK flush 510 for the clones. Worth the investment IMO

Well,that sucks haha.
I have read that SXK used to sell a flush key,but i've never seen them listed anywhere,must of been before i started with these mods.Unless the gold colored plate set that has a key with it is possibly a flush one,i've never seen anybody confirm that one yet.
I believe this is the one. Pretty sure that 510 nut is flush.

I had to contact SXK on their Facebook page to get some keys from them, but they are the ones that come with the mod. They never responded about firing switches though.
Mine was acting like shit today, kept asking if I was bobshitsething, I logged out and back in seems to be working fine now.
But no, nothing but tapatalk or browser via phone

Dude! Ships from Canada but it might be worth it... JMK also makes stainless buttons

I do appreciate it, but I've seen that. I'm looking for like a 4 or 5 dollar clone or to trade this key for one (which could be a clone too,) To me it's not worth over 20 dollars after shipping. Thanks though.
I think they listed the same kit on either FT or 3f as well yesterday. Curious to see if they can even come close on the switch

So I’m watching this stupid series on Netflix called “Daybreak”
Supposedly in Glendale California.
The High School they are using was the High School I went to in Albuquerque called Highland High, home of the Hornets
Weird seeing it, looks the same.
It’s actually sort of neat to see Series like Breaking Bad and this one utilizing Albuquerque for location.
Anyhoo back to your regularly scheduled shenanigans

Normally its the beautiful calm 72*... End of September to 1st week of July... 72*
We get these 5 day long heat waves though a few times during the Fall/Winter...
Earlier in February I remember it being 91*
Hard to beat SD weather for sure.
45 would feel like 25 to me right now. It sounds good but not for long.
I didn't want to drill out my Xeta insert and chimney and now I feel violated over in the Haku group. I think I need to take another shower and brush my teeth.

Depends who did the cerakoting...
But generally it’s pretty durable... jwill did my overlord mech and it’s one of the best I’ve seen.

Just find a rev3 and convert it yourself to LiPo, really easy to do

Indeed it does...
It’s Candied Grey...in day light you can see the slight undertone of dark cherry, otherwise it’s a deep gray.
