Like anybody (or most people) who knows what a Haku Xeta is, doesn't also know what an SXK clone is anyway? And how goofy would it be to call it a "genuine" SXK clone?

Come on

They really should knock that off.

I totally agree, and had to look twice at @Mykreign's picture. But then again you're talking about a company that puts this (or similar) message below every product they sell:

If you hear, let me know. I have been looking for semi-tranparent black, I can't find them either

 

[Mykreign]

One good thing so far is I'm able to use my dry plug for the first time. It wouldn't work with the vapeshells for whatever reason.

I used the 2nd smallest insert and the 3mm chimney one. It was a lot more loose of a draw than the 1.2mm vapeshell insert. Putting the dry plug in there toned it down.

I thought it would be easy to find black panels,but i don't see any at all yet haha.I even thought about getting the clear SXK panels and spraying the inside with either just black paint or that tail light tint paint,but i don't think i would like it like that since the magnets would still show.I may go that route though if i can't find anything else.

Sweet! Curious about your opinion after some usage.

 

[~Don~]

I think clear panels with any color vinyl wrap on the inside would look cool.

Would cause a nice depth affect, and you can pretty much make it any color.

Good to hear. Dragon poo your version of orange right? Lol. I loved the looks of that dt, just couldn't get use to it.

yep . ya know, a while back i sware i saw a "burnt orange", and it looked KILLER ! but i guess it was just a pic thing

got a FT email saying it shipped.

Some so so pics of the all wheel drive Xena Warrior Positive Post, no I didn't make that up, I can't.
Looks the same except thicker.


In comparison to the negative post it is the same thickness , why the positive would thinner than the negative is beyond me.

I got mine today,it is a sort of a bright burnt orange type color,very cool color though.

i can relate there.

i blew the pic up, enough to see that the + post hole is not made the way i thought it to be.

from what i can see this was made to fail, on purpose. do i know what i am talking about ? well, if i wanted to, i could go in my garage and "make" a pretty darn close copy of that RBA.

I was thinking the same thing. I gotta get a look at this Kurbskilious before it gets here

From what I hear, it's the same with the authentic and the same with SXK boros too. I had to muscle mine in really straight the first time.

I used the 2nd smallest insert and the 3mm chimney one. It was a lot more loose of a draw than the 1.2mm vapeshell insert. Putting the dry plug in there toned it down.

Some guys have drilled out the .8mm, but you may like it that tight with the small chimney reducer too. For all I I know I may like it. I don't think I would put a smaller chimney reducer than airflow reducer myself. Of course Haku now has these additional different size airflow inserts too, which I'm hoping SXK will pick up. Honestly? Seems like they should have been included in the first place.

I never thought I would be interested in mtl and lower power vaping like this. Just in time too. Uses a lot less juice than volcanic dtl setups.

I wonder if it will fit in the clones for those who have had problems? My SXK should be here tomorrow. I'm going to take that clamp out and see what I can see.

I just saw this hiding between the pics. I was thinking the same thing. That does seem to defy rational explanation doesn't it?

are clear doors hard to find ? they are on ebey right now. along with some nice stab doors.

Which I hasten to clarify doesn't mean I don't still love my volcanic dtl setups I just never thought I'd like anything else.

I didn't even think about it until after i posted that haha.Here's one that shows it a little,i'll get a side view to show the color better when i get home from work today.

 

[dubya314]

Thanks. I did see those, was hoping for a bit cheaper lol. But @Mykreign saw my post, pm'd, and frosted black and transparent blue here I come

 

[dubya314]

@BobsHere , or anyone caring to chime in.
I can't remember which rba this is, but any tips for wicking? First time, I cut to make it just into top part of the juice wells and had leaking. Second time I cut to bottom of juice wells and dry hits. Somewhere in the middle I'm guessing?

Insider...

It’s one you have to cut the wicks in a 45* so the barrel doesn’t pinch the wicks and have them to a point and barely in the juice channel.

Ok, thanks. Did do the 45, so maybe on the 1st leaking one, I was just a touch too short.

It took me about 10 tries to nail that RBA... once I did, I absolutely loved it.

Replicating the wicking was a 90% success... but when it was perfect... I could peg out the BB at 60w and wouldn't get a dry hit... when it was wrong... dry hit at 12w.

It is in my opinion the best RBA, but equally the worst ever made.

Granted at this time in my vaping journey I wasn't using thinner juices, I was mostly using 70/30 coming from Squonking to the BB... and I know if I went and got a BB now, much of my woes would be solved utilizing 50/50... plus I was trying larger coils mostly... I am sure a nice simple 2mm plain coil would work great in it.

I'm pretty sure when I get it right I'm gonna love it, that's why I keep trying. Cottons cheap I mix at about 65vg, so maybe that's part of it, but don't care for any more pg than that. As far as builds go, I'm easy for mtl. Simple 26 or 28g kanthol and I'm good to go. Dlh, different story lol.

Talk about a change of heart

 

[Mykreign]

i'm not too high on the xeta right now. I think the wicks are too saturated. It's very gurgly and it spits at me. I'm also not used to airflow yet. Think it might be a little too right with the MTL dry plug in there.

My tank is all the way full right now and I'm getting no gurgling and no dry hits at all. Might be a little over saturated for the first couple pulls after a refill but levels off after that. Don't forget you have those juice flow control screws to play with too. You're building different than I am, but I have to believe you'll get it there.

 

[gsmit1]

One major deal breaking difference between the TFTK and SXK, if this is standard, is that my SXK just got here and it only has 2 chimney reducers. How bout you guys?

Haha,yeah it's a complete 360 from just a few months ago haha.To top it off even more,the Vapeshell that i hated back then,is actually a really good vape too haha.

Same with mine.I looked in the package and was pissed because i thought they shorted me one,then seen it when i went to put a build in it.

Both my SXK's came with three, all in the bag.
