@Darth Vaper are you sure it is not your mod that gives you a wrong reading, reason I ask is I tested my Exocet and Insider on two different mods and compared with two different 70w BB's and a BB DNA40 and I get the same reading on all, at most 0.01 variance

I guess it could be. But I've heard of others - on this and other forums - also saying the SXK BB's under-read resistance (relative to other mods). So I didn't doubt my other mod. But yes, I could be wrong
What coils do you use? I don't use fancy coils, I only use 24g or 26g kanthal,.........maybe the reason!
Me neither - typically just plain round 24g Ni80
@TheV ,thanks for the info.About the draw,how's it compared to the Skyline clone?Hi @kev macI'm by no means a BB expert but I will add my 2 cents to the mix.
I've used both the SXK DNA60 and SXK 70 but not really side by side with the same atty, build and juice, so I can't say for sure, but they are much the same in my opinion.
I bought the SXK DNA60 purely because it is the same chip that you get in the authentic Billet Box, not because there was overwhelming evidence that it is better than the SXK 70.
There is indeed no directly accessible USB port on the DNA60 but you can hook up a Evolve data board if you are willing to open the device up and do some very minor disassembly if you were so inclined.
Unfortunately I can't comment on the SXK 70 being overpowered. Perhaps another user here can?
Either way, I don't think you can go wrong with either device. The SXK 70 is quite a bit cheaper and definitely more readily available.
I've heard very little complaints from the SXK 70 users
Regarding the attys, that is where things get interesting.
By far the general consensus seems ... get the Exocet. Maybe not for better flavor (because I've heard the argument go either way) but mostly for ease of use.
The Exocet is (according to most) much easier than the Insider to get right. This alone would lead me to recommend the Exocet over the Insider.
These SXK attys are cheap enough to consider getting both down the line. That is what I did. I got the Exocet with my BB and later placed an order for the Insider (which I'm still waiting for).
One thing that I feel I have to mention that you did not ask about is the draw on the BB. Depending on what you are used to, or what you preference is, the BB might not be to your liking because of the draw. If you are used to vaping a Goon 1.5 with the airflow all the way open (who does that?) the BB is gonna feel like you are trying to suck a golf ball through a straw. It is not an excessively restricted MTL draw but it is certainly more restricted that most of the large airy attys on the market today. Think more Hadaly and less Goon. Just something to keep in mind.
It has quickly crept up the ranks and taken the absolute #1 spot in my vaping arsenal ... but as with anything vaping (and most other things in life) - It is a personal preference
Only a pleasure @kev mac.
I'm gonna be honest and announce my ignorance here. I haven't had more than a minute with a Scyline (still waiting on mine to be delivered) so I would not be a very useful source of information as far as that is considered. I think with the right (or no) airdisk it should be fairly similar.
Tagging @BioHAZarD, @Amir, @SAVapeGear, @Silver, @Rob Fisher to comment on the above (off the top of my head who I can think of that has and uses both). Thanks

Hmm. If I remember correctly with the large airflow disc the bb with exocet is still more airy but I would not say it is a huge difference.Only a pleasure @kev mac.

After a tank or two you don't even notice it.

I find the Skyline quite restrictive.
I am using it with the 3rd largest airdisk. I haven't tried any others because I quite like it the way it is.
The BB / Exocet is way airier than my current Skyline setup.
BB/Exocet would probably be classed as a reasonably restricted lung hit.
Then if that is the case, my current Skyline setup would be a very restricted lung hit

I wonder the draw compares between the skyline and the clone? probably similar?
Been using my BB for a few months now and I love it
Makes for a perfect evening chill at home vape. Not much clouds to get the missus upset and flavor is on point.
Cannot fault this device at all
Like the guys have been saying, rebuilding is a mission. But other than that it's awesome

The bb is on point and i love it to bits, more than i would have liked in the beginning. The building i find very easy and its all part of the therapy sessions a vape pit stop gives you on the weekend.
@antonherbst , i have the exact same feeling and the reason I’m trying to fund another one or two or three

The bb are very good setups. Maybe a 4th one could also work.
Indeed @antonherbst - BB will stay in my future, and I don't even need a crystal ball to tell. I do have something to tell, but it will have to wait for a highly anticipated delivery

Hahaha. I know. I was sworn to absolute secrecy on it. The bb are awesome mods and they work wonders.
&Antonherbst - I do have a forum friend that seems to get as excited as I do about vape mail.

Oh not just a friend. We are a couple of guys that gets happy with vape mail. Especially the elite mods that have stood the test of time. I know you wil be a happy vaper.
It seems I haven't been keeping up with the times, as usual, so I'm a bit behind.
So I read as much as possible about this "ding", and am I correct in my assumptions on why you all love it so much?:

- RDA like flavour production
- Durable, because all the parts are inside the box (can't break glass)
- Suits both MTL and DLH
- Looks cool
* easy to carry around
* excellent battery usage
* light on Juice
* all round fantastic vape
* makes my favorite juice - XXX - absolutely shine
* etc etc

Hi @rogue zombie , you on the right track
Just some comments from my side from my experience with it
With the exocet inside, its not MTL. Its a restricted lung hit.
A positive for me is the size, its very portable. Probably the most portable, considering the vape one gets out of it. The shape makes it easy to fit into a pocket. I am not a "pocket carrier" vaper at all and yet I carried the BB in my pocket the whole way through VapeCon. Rob Fisher said I would and I didnt believe him. He was right. The other side of this is that it doesnt leak or dribble etc.
One of the biggest positives for me is just how easy it is to refill. It takes a few seconds. No bogroll required! I love that.
I can add
Form factor is amazing small.
Very customizable.
And yes the juice consumption is amazing good.
And it wicks&coils super easy with the exocet atty.
Thank you all. This is definitely on my list then. Sounds like it ticks all the boxes I like ticked.
If anyone has both, is the Exocet's draw similar to the OL16 or Cyclops?
I like restricted Lung hitting, but not too restricted.
What I'm asking is, can you definitely DLH? without going blue in the face

Hi @rogue zombie
I have the Exocet and the OL16. I would say its similar to the OL16 on the biggest air setting, maybe the Exocet is even a little bit airier
Its definitely lung hit and a nice one.
Not too loose like the big airy atties - Goon et al
But not overly restrictive either.
I find it lovely for the fruity menthols
