That would make it a game changer. I liked the original but would have liked a more variable output.
What are they priced at?

So I finally rewicked my Kerch. I didn’t notice any more buildup on the top cap than I normally get in my Snail. Just thought I’d throw my two cents in.

I hear - Mission stuff is $$$ !
But when I saw these on 3F I thought I'd give them a shot

I love the look and the idea of not relying on the switch pad as it’s definitely a weak spot in the design. I just can’t bring myself to dump more money into my BB haha

I seen the white and red splatter ones and thought about it. For 3f they are pricey but a third or better less than authentic.

I wish they offered the round button ones without the USB port

All the round button ones I've seen are SXK - their boxes have the port, so it would follow that their inners would too. Imho, it's not that big of a deal to run USB inners on a a non-USB box - see my pic above of my Dober.
Maybe this company will release some? I see on 3F today that there's more panel choices - I'm assuming from MK as well.

Sorry I meant the inner panel. I didn’t know SXK sold Mission switch clones without the spot for the USB port

I was looking at them the other day. They have a bunch of color choices, and didn't do the usb cut out on any of them. Sounds like to me the cut out is still there to fit, just not all the way through. They must have had some complaints, because it is written ALL over that these inners will cover usb, lol

These WILL NOT fit over the USB - there is not a cutout of any kind. I only fit it by tucking the USB under the main chip - something many warn against because of possible shorting, but I've never had a problem

Wow, that is not how it reads on 3f's sight at all.

He is right. If you look at the back of switch inner on the right side there would be a relief cut into it to fit over the USB. It is solid. There is a relief on the other side for the control board wires. But it does say it will cover the usb??

So a bigger artery pal

21700 is nice… less frequent battery changes, but a larger boro is really what BB’s etc need.

Someone even if China does it… make a universal chimney that is longer to accommodate a taller boro… include some varying orings to fit the wide variety of RBAs and they’d have a true winner.

Otherwise is just another box, under $95 that uses a boro, riding the boro train.

It’s just kinda sad that a well known reviewer (ok he likes everything and nothing is a con) joins the wave for something like this . IMO shame on him

Tony’s always been about China and what he likes… he has yet to design or be affiliated with anything I’d even care to own

I think I stopped watching reviews a few years ago… nearly all are shit, and are afraid of being critical because of [HASH=5001]#teamfreeshit[/HASH]

I can tell if something is up my alley from airflow and deck pictures, any questions I’ll ask the source.

I’d be an awful reviewer honestly… have yet to get an RDA/RTA/RBA that didn’t have some shitty thing wrong with it upon opening the package.

I take that back… the Le Concorde… perfect, not a damn thing wrong with it

While I don’t disagree , i get most of these things before most do the reviews. I still love jai his stupid comments just makes me laugh . I have a couple of rdas/rba and rdtas I have no complaints about but after 11 years I’ve dialed them all to my tastes .

Preorder on 3F for $69.99 if you want to wait until next month. It was 49.99 until someone hit the “OH SHIT” button and changed it.

Funny story.

Years ago I bought a used laptop from Dell’s Ebay Page. $0.99 - it was at that time a $999 laptop.

Delivered in 4 days for the grand total of $15.99 since there was $15 shipping charge.

Once I purchased it and it went through, I was going to buy a couple more… whoever noticed the sale quickly changed the prices

I've tried a ton of bf mtl rda's, nothing touches the 1928 to me. Gets a bit warm with chain vaping, only dislike from me. Idk how many draws I get with those between squonks, but it is a ton, lol
Did you score a BB this morning?
