I use a lower resistance coil in the Bridg'd than I usually do. Almost all my RBA bridges get 1.2-1.4. I'm currently using a 1 ohm fused clapton in it with much better flavor than before. Must be bc of the larger chamber than the others. As for wicking, I leave my tails longer than, say, the VapeShell and make sure those wicking ports are covered and the cotton is pretty tightly pressed against them with a little height to compensate for the potential gaps at the top of the port after you put the cap on. Next time mess with my build I'll snap a pic. Hope this helps.So I found my happy place with the Xeta, thanks to Don. Found my happy place with the Shell through trial and error. The two I have not, but am by no means even close to giving up on are the Snail and the Bridg'd.
Grant it, I have not spent a ton of time with either, but am ready to start.
Bridg'd= leaking and gurgling. Same problem I initially had with Xeta, sans leaking. Raising the coil in the Xeta was all it took, and was a game changer. So far not the case with bridg'd. I have tried the minor wicking differences and coil placements, still can't get it right.
Snail= just the best it get is eh. I have found my way to make it vape just fine, but it's just not great. Can't seem to get away from just average flavor, and I think always seeing more condensation (or maybe some leaking) than should be expected. Any ideas?
I'd love to see some pics of the bridg'd if you remember, thanks. I have built it anywhere from .8 to 1.2, really with no luck. I think I have the wick pretty long and stuffed, but maybe not as much as needed. I believe I have the 1.5mm af in there, but would have to check for sure. I do have the chimney reducer in the snail, and I'm guessing 1.2 or 1.5 af in there as well. I have tried it with round and claptons. I use them all mtl, and honestly I don't get a big enough difference in any of them with claptons to justify using them. 26/27/28 round is all fine to me.I use a lower resistance coil in the Bridg'd than I usually do.

As for the Snail, I found that I prefer a tighter airflow insert for my usual build. I got a big boost in flavor because of it. Are you using the chamber/chimney reducer? I also found that smaller gauge round wire works best with that installed. Claptons and the like got too hot and killed flavor.

I was wondering if someone could help me out with a question:
I just got a SXK DNA60 on a trade.
All my BBs are SXK, but this is the first one that I have that has the "Billet Box" logo on the button side. Thing is, it's a sticker and kind of ratty. Are all SXKs stickers - or is this something the PO added?
Has anyone heard of a way to repair or replace it?
Thanks
I just got a brand new one out of the latest run and the logos are slik screened on for sure. Or some way of painting them. Very sharp and very authentic looking.I thought they were painted on as well. @gsmit1 just got one.
I've never touched an authentic, but I'm pretty sure if I held one in each hand I'd be able to tell them apart.I really wished BBV didnt upgrade their CNC.
They don't have the tooling marks anymore, which was the simple way of telling an authentic from a clone
Well, I guess ya still have the boxI've never touched an authentic, but I'm pretty sure if I held one in each hand I'd be able to tell them apart.
Pix are a different story. There. I took off the USB port.

Yeah, that's how they look. Those are yours and say 2016?HAHA! 2016. Is the inside of the authentic door like this? The screenside door on the SXK used to have just a hair of play. The new one doesn't at all. Perfect tolerances. However I wonder if that means they tuned up the manufacturing on the door or the mod?

Yep. From the brand new one from the latest run. The Evolv authenticity check has the board made at the end of may of this year.Yeah, that's how they look. Those are yours and say 2016?
Now your gonna make me look.........Yep. From the brand new one from the latest run. The Evolv authenticity check has the board made at the end of may of this year.
2020 on the logos and 2016 inside the door. Leave it to the little people in the east.
NPSweet. Thanks again, I really appreciate it. Guess I gotta find some mission panels
Really hoping I can find some SUS panels. If not, I know I will be able to get some sweet MUMSNP
Luckily the panels are easier to find than the switch.
Mission even had them on their site recently
I stand corrected. No dates at all. I ain't digging any deeper.......Yep. From the brand new one from the latest run. The Evolv authenticity check has the board made at the end of may of this year.

Expensive cloneTeam Noct Special le edition
Anyone interested?
Yeah, but then Noct group says that it's the people butt hurt about not getting their mod starting that talk. Who knows, I have no horse in that race. I'd hope there's not a modder out there selling 1K+ BB clones.Expensive clone
Not my opinion but that's been going around about Noct in the FB groups. Allegedly they have no permission from BBV, same as SXK and another MAKER (whose name escapes me) that makes acrylic body Billets. For the record, I have no opinion either way regarding the clone stuff. That is damn nice though!

They're super nice made out of nice materials and worth every penny I'm sure. That said I'd never spend that on a mod in general, especially one restricted to purely use with a Boro.Yeah, but then Noct group says that it's the people butt hurt about not getting their mod starting that talk. Who knows, I have no horse in that race. I'd hope there's not a modder out there selling 1K+ BB clones.
Oh now that's a bummer. Therefore I bit the bullet and bought a red one from a site in the UK. I've been sitting on that order for a while, but now they have 10% off and with this news 140 USD isn't so bad.The Gas City site specifically says the dna is being discontinued by SXK, they were told by the company that they will only make the 70 chip going forward
