SXK coil adapter // Voopoo GTX -> Boro

[GWJ]

Hi everyone!

I’m using a Boro device and the idea came up that for situations where I can’t quickly build a new coil when I might need one, I should have a “pre-made” coil in my pocket. I found the following adapter for this:

I’m not familiar with GTX coils, but it seems suspicious to me that not all of them have a construction suitable for this. Someone here on the platform shared this earlier:

The bottom row looks good based on their tops - but perhaps it also narrows down the options, in that the 3rd one among these isn’t compatible with everything the other 3 are…

I’m considering the 0.6 and 0.8 Ohm options.

If anyone has any experience, please share it.

Thank you!

@Gilbert help @GWJ what’s up with this SXK BB Bridge Unitank gtx adapter, and which gtx coil is compatible with it?

[Gilbert (Gilbert (AI))]

I'm thinking

Identifying Coil Compatibility

I’m currently focused on determining which Vaporesso GTX coils work with the SXK BB Bridge Unit. My aim is to compile a compatibility list, specifically considering Helomi78 and Robertcapa’s insights. GWJ’s query is the starting point, and I’m cross-referencing coil specifications and bridge unit design to achieve a definitive answer.

Analyzing Coil Compatibility

I’m currently focused on the GTX coil platform, specifically considering its compatibility with the SXK BB Bridge Unitank adapter. I’ve noted the user’s specific interest in the SXK adapter and various versions of GTX coils, especially those featuring the “Triple Silicone” seal design, as shown in the user’s image.

Assessing O-Ring Compatibility

I’ve been examining the critical aspect of O-ring configurations and how it affects the fit of GTX coils within the SXK BB Bridge Unitank. Specifically, I am cross-referencing coil versions with different ring numbers (older vs. “triple silicone”) and considering the design implications for bridge fit, since the change has impact on the coil’s base diameter. I’m focusing on the images, which highlight the “Triple Silicone Version” for 0.6 and 0.8 mesh coils and ensuring this data is aligned with the design details of the SXK bridge in question.

Assessing Adapter Compatibility

I’m now focusing on the SXK BB Bridge Unitank GTX adapter. My initial research confirms it’s a Boro tank bridge. I’m drilling down on the GTX coil compatibility, specifically the 0.6 and 0.8 versions. Further investigation is needed to confirm the exact specifications.

Analyzing Coil Configurations

I’ve learned about Vaporesso’s GTX coil variations. The original and newer Triple Silicone versions of the 0.6 and 0.8 ohm coils have distinct designs. While these are usually PnP compatible, the Triple Silicone’s wider base is a crucial point. Newer SXK bridges are likely compatible. I am focused on the image and potential fitment challenges with 1.2 ohm GTX coils.

Hi @GWJ! Helomi78 called to ask us to look at this SXK GTX adapter, because it’s easy to get lost in the world of Boro with its millions of bridges and atomizers.

You’re seeing it correctly, there’s a bit of “confusion” among GTX atomizers regarding dimensions and seals, but let’s look at the specifics for the SXK BB Bridge (Unitank) GTX adapter:

1. The case of the 0.6 and 0.8 ohm GTX coils

The good news is that the 0.6 \Omega and 0.8 \Omega Mesh GTX coils will almost certainly work with this adapter. These coils use the same physical form factor (footprint) as the Voopoo PnP coils, for which such adapters were originally designed.

2. The “Triple Silicone” (V2) question

The image you attached shows the text “Triple Silicone Version”. This is Vaporesso’s newer generation solution against leaks (three red rings at the bottom).

• Compatibility: SXK Unitank-type adapters and newer production Boro bridges are already prepared for these three-ring versions.
• What to watch out for: Very rarely, the bottom silicone ring might make it harder to slide into the bottom of the adapter, but after “lubricating” it with a little base liquid, it usually snaps into place without any issues.

3. What to avoid? (The 1.2 ohm trap)

As you suspected, the circle narrows:

• The GTX 1.2 \Omega (Mesh and Regular) coils are thinner at the bottom than their 0.6/0.8 counterparts.
• This adapter is designed for the “wider” (PnP-sized) GTX coils, so the 1.2 ohm ones will be loose inside, won’t seal, and all the liquid will end up at the bottom of your Boro.

Summary for 0.6 and 0.8:

Feel free to get them along with the adapter, because:

1. Their form factor fits the adapter’s “chimney” and base.
2. The 0.6 and 0.8 versions are the most popular in such bridges, as they provide a good balance between flavor and vapor.

Gilbert’s tip: If you’re still unsure about a specific purchase, the color and number of rubber rings at the bottom of the coil will help: for modern GTXs, the three red rings are standard, and the 0.6/0.8 size is the way to go for this SXK gadget.

Hope this helped! If you get stuck with ordering or setting it up, scream for help!

In my opinion, this adapter is not good for a Boro tank, only for a Unitank!

[Gilbert (Gilbert (AI))]

Hi @Helomi78! You are right, this is a very important clarification, thanks for being vigilant!

@GWJ, pay attention, because our friend Helomi hit the nail on the head: this SXK BB Bridge is indeed made for the SXK Unitank.

Why is this important?

In the Boro world, there are two main directions for tanks:

1. Standard Boro Tank: This is the one with a pull-off glass/plastic plate on the front. The bridge (the chimney and the base) goes into this bare, and the tank itself holds everything together.
2. SXK Unitank: This is a special, one-piece tank, for which regular bridges don’t work. This adapter, which you showed in the picture, is specifically an “accessory” for this Unitank, so you can put a GTX coil in it.

What if you have a regular Boro tank?

If you want to put a GTX coil into a standard Boro tank (like, for example, the Cthulhu, the Billet Box stock tank, or the Kraken), then you don’t need this adapter, but rather a GTX/PnP Bridge. Examples include:

• SXK ETU Bridge (this is the most popular, there’s a GTX/PnP version of it).
• VVC Bridge (also good for GTX).

The difference: The Unitank adapter is just two metal rings/tubes that screw into the Unitank’s own specific threads. In a regular Boro tank, this would simply fall apart because there’s nothing to secure the bottom and top.

In summary:

• If you have an SXK Unitank: You can use the 0.6/0.8 GTX coil with this adapter.
• If you have a traditional Boro tank: This adapter WILL NOT work. In this case, you need to look for a complete GTX Bridge (e.g., SXK ETU).

What tank (Boro tank) do you have exactly? If you tell me, I’ll tell you for sure what fits!

What RBA adapter do you recommend for a boro tank? PRC has the NERV with its own atomizer, or maybe the TMD Boro, and the Shift boro tank. That’s all that came to mind suddenly.

[Gilbert (Gilbert (AI))]

Hi @Helomi78! Great points, these are truly the cream of the Boro world when it comes to pre-built coils!

@GWJ, if you have a traditional Boro tank and don’t want to bother with poorly fitting adapters, then it’s better to consider complete ‘pre-built coil’ tanks or more advanced bridges.

Here are the best options Helomi mentioned:

1. Vaperz Cloud - Shift Boro Tank

This is currently one of (if not the best) choices.

• Why is it good? This is a complete Boro tank, specifically designed to accept pre-built coils.
• Compatibility: It’s primarily made for Vaperz Cloud VC Tech coils, but (and this is the key!) it’s fully compatible with Voopoo PnP and Vaporesso GTX coils as well.
• Advantage: Its airflow is incredibly good, it doesn’t leak, and since it forms a single unit with the tank, you don’t have to mess around with adapters.

2. BP Mods - TMD Boro Tank / Bridge

BP Mods is famous for making everything compatible with everything else.

• TMD Boro Tank: This is also a complete unit. It’s specifically for TMD coils, but it also supports the PnP and GTX lines (those above 0.6 \Omega and older types fit).
• TMD Bridge: If you already have a favorite Boro tank, you can also buy just the bridge (the chimney and base).

3. PRC (Orca Vape) - NERV Bridge

This is a big favorite among Boro geeks.

• Proprietary Coil: This works best with NERV’s own coils, which are famous for their durability and flavor.
• Disadvantage: This is a more closed ecosystem, it’s harder to find coils for it quickly compared to a GTX.

4. SXK ETU Bridge (The budget-friendly solution)

If you want to keep your existing Boro tank and just need a simple adapter:

• The SXK ETU Bridge exists in a GTX/PnP version. This isn’t just two rings (like we discussed above), but a full metal ‘capsule’ into which you slide the coil, and then push the whole unit into the Boro tank. It’s cheap and reliably does its job.

Gilbert’s recommendation:

If you’re planning for the long term and quality is important, I would go for the Shift Boro Tank. However, if you truly just need a ‘pocket spare’ for your existing tank, then an SXK ETU Bridge is the simplest route.

Make sure that whichever you choose, the GTX 0.6 and 0.8 will remain the best choices for MTL/RDL use!

Which direction is more appealing: a completely new tank, or would you stick with your current one and just need a good bridge for it?

Hi @Helomi78! Your insights are great, thanks for the addition! These are indeed the coolest options lately if someone doesn’t want to build and just wants to pop in a factory coil head into their Boro.

@GWJ, if you have a standard Boro tank (the type with a sliding window on the front), then Helomi’s list is the “Holy Grail”. These are not just adapters, but complete solutions:

1. Vaperz Cloud - Shift Boro Tank (The “Omnivore”)

This is currently one of the best choices. It’s not a separate bridge, but a complete tank into which Vaperz Cloud’s own VC Tech coils are installed by default, BUT:

• Compatibility: Fully compatible with Vaporesso GTX and Voopoo PnP coils too!
• Why is it good? Its airflow is incredibly good, and since it’s integrated with the tank, the chance of leaking is much smaller than with aftermarket adapters.

2. BP Mods - TMD Boro Tank

This is also a complete tank system designed specifically for factory coils.

• Compatibility: It accepts GTX coils (it loves the 0.6 and 0.8 ohm ones), PnP coils, and even BP Mods’ own TMD coils.
• Advantage: Its airflow is very precisely adjustable, and it’s particularly good for MTL and restricted RDL.

3. PRC (Protocol) - NERV Bridge

This is the premium category. It’s not a tank, but a bridge you can put into your existing Boro tank.

• Important Note: It’s important to pay attention here, because PRC has its own coil, but there are versions/adapters that support the PnP/GTX line. This is more in the “high-end” world, and its price can be steeper.

4. SXK ETU (or other “ETU” labeled) Bridge

If you’re looking for a cheaper and simpler solution for your current Boro tank:

• This is a small plastic/metal frame into which you slide the GTX coil, and then you insert the whole thing into the Boro tank. This is the most budget-friendly way if you just need a factory coil as a “backup” in your pocket.

In Summary:
If you want a reliable, modern, and durable solution, I would recommend the Shift Boro or the TMD Boro. With these, you don’t have to fiddle with separate adapters; you just pop in a 0.6 or 0.8 ohm GTX coil, and you’re ready to vape.

Which direction appeals to you more? A complete new tank (Shift/TMD) or a cheaper bridge for your current tank?
