Do you mean everything including the board?

I'm curious if one could simply replace the switch plate from an SXK and add a USB board to the DNA60 in an original. I have two original BB but I don't want to break the seal on them to measure the inside. They are both 2020 models with what is apparently a new switch.

On a more positive note here is my vape mail from yesterday...

No, I think he meant the inner plates. Button and control panels.

Yeah, what Shady said, just the plates. But I was just thinking about it, and SXK doesn't have the inset below the button where the sticker is, so no good for me even if it does work.

I'm pretty sure coffee comes in beans. Let's tighten up over there huh pal.

I had 10lbs of beans delivered yesterday...

Had a feeling thing were going south and fast last week and it made it in the mail 1 day before Gov. Newsome shut non essentials down.

Well I was supposed to have this cup at 2pm...

I ground the beans... started the electric kettle...

3pm rolled around, said to myself.. I smell coffee and remembered I had beans ready...

4pm rolled around I got caught up reading some bull shit online...

5pm rolled around and I was debating the coffee... it’s 30g of beans for a 12oz cup, going to be strong

6pm rolled around

Well can’t waste da beans!



I’ll fall asleep around 3am

I know there's some love for the Pico in this thread so I thought I'd share this. OG Vaporesso Swag for under $20 shipped within the US. Same form factor and will only accept atties 23mm and under. Silver only, but most of the RTAs we talk about in here are stainless as it is.
Only the kit is available with the tank right now unfortunately. The mod only must have sold out.

The Bridg'd clone has been ordered. We'll see how long it takes to ship. I also ordered a supply of Vaporesso Ceramic EUC Coils which may hold it up a bit. But I saved enough on the coils to pay for DHL shipping so once they ship it should arrive pretty quick.

Do you have any other RBAs to compare it with? I'm pretty happy with the Xeta but I'm curious about it as a backup.

New toy arrived today! Not bad for a 10 dollar mod

I'm nonessential today so I'm good

Had to test a roast I did last night so I figured it do the pour over. Not as good as your fanciness, I'm sure, but it was pretty well-balanced.

Had some trouble dialing in my roasts for a bit there with the colder weather but yesterday was around 60 and less windy so it was more forgiving. That's my only complaint using the drum on the gas grill. Weather can make it a bitch!

Currently I'm using the VapeShell with a 2.5mm 2-28/40 SS316L dual clapton @ 0.42 ohms. I also ordered the YFTK Zeta in Titanium but it's been floating around in the Neitherlands for 2 weeks now. Eventually I'll be able to compare it also.

I hope this doesn't violate any forum rules. But since I know many of you are fans (after reading this entire thread,) I thought you should know that I have a purple SXK BB DNA60 with some extras that I am selling on Reddit. If you are interested you can PM me.

You're good, bud. You could always post it in the Hardware section of the Trading Post here on VU, too.

Not much is against the rules here besides spam links or referral links.

Especially the BB/Dvarw/Knife/Gun/MTL/Et al thread this is

I had something interesting happen that really surprised me. I had an original BB setup with an EUC Ceramic 316L coil that I was vaping on TC.

I noticed all of the knife stuff. I must have missed the gun stuff.

I was never able to get my SXK DNA 60 to do temp control well at all with the EUC Drizzle coils was kind of a bummer.

I guess I should finish the message I started:

I had something interesting happen that really surprised me. I had an original BB setup with an EUC Ceramic 316L coil that I was vaping on TC. I received an order from JMK Tips with a Busto+ hybrid tip. So I took the retainer nut out of the BB and replaced it with the JMK hybrid. I had the resistance reading locked. When I took a hit I got a horrible burnt hit. Apparently the resistance reading dropped dramatically and so the TC overshot the temperature I was set for. I do not remember the amount of change. I suppose I should go back and document this.

Ah, well the BB's 510 nut acts as a ground so that makes sense. There are no o-rings on the JMK tips so it probably cause the resistance to jump.

Anything here able to put a dna60 into a empty sxk billet body? Not good at soldering

Yes anybody. I have a sxk billet that doesn't work and was gonna grab a dna for it

Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

Is it an SXK 70W that you're wanting to put the DNA 60 into? I've always wondered if the insides were machined exactly the same. It would seem unlikely that the DNA would simply drop in exactly the way it needs to.

There are a few people over on another forum that did the 70 to 60 swap,they look pretty much identical going from the pics they posted.

No that one is still kicking found a deal on a black sxk 60w that doesn't work so was gonna use the body

In the meantime,pull the back cover and wipe the board down real good with alcohol,it may work again.My 70 started acting up and intermittently working about 2 weeks after i got it.I pulled the cover,pulled the board back a tiny bit and wiped it all down,and it started working again.

Honestly, if I won I probably would've traded or sold it anyway. I have one already and that's all I need.
No real interest in getting another boro device and I have a couple other drop-in bridges I like enough to use as backups.

If that SXK is that rich fire engine red it looks on the webpage, that should be a great looking Billet Box.
It is. I just hate ordering from China this year. Lol. That damn wait. But ended up ordering the red dna with logo. Thought that was odd. Then got the SXK vapeshell as I know how to work that one. Also picked up the SXK karma Bridge. Well see how that one goes.

Paid for DHL shipping. Lol. Hope that makes a difference in wait time. Fuck waiting if I can help it
