I am looking for a phase change system for skt 939 probably cooling an x2

I have seen a vapochill xe that is going cheap. How good are these compared to other older models.

looking to spend £150 max
 
There's nothing wrong with the XE's - just make sure it's got the right head kit on it. Personally I'm an Nventiv fan and you'll never part me from my Mach 1 - If you can get a Mach 2 for that price I'd get that over the Vapo - just soooo much easier with it's own power supply!

The SE and PE models use R134a and have less heating capacity and don't cool as far the the XE. Older models would easily go into +temps with an X2. The XE should be ok.

The Mach 1 has R134a. Nothing stopping you getting a re-gas but then that's your budget blown.

Edit: there is a guide in my sig. D'oh!!
 
Yeah everything can be but pending what gas you use it may need more work on it.

I know of a few promys coming up for sale soo that might do you.

Are X2's cold bugged? If so see Fatty as he make water chillers that are wicked and that would be better for you
 
They all can be - but the cost tends to be prohibitive - you can get a regass and the chilly 1 head done for about £150ish (drop me a line and I'll show you where I found it) - considering the whole unit is only worth about £100 seems excessive!

But I suppose if you've already got the PE, it's a good way to bring it up to date - if you haven't bought yet, I'd strongly recommmend the Prommie Mach 1 instead of the Vapo PE though :)

And yes - X2 (as will many chips) seems to be a lottery - do a search on your stepping or post some questions on XS to see if you've got a 'good'un' or not.
 
I don't have anything at the moment, just missed an XE and now there is a PE for sale on an auction site.

I have seen the chilly1 head and regass also but I agree that I could probably get a better deal depending on how much the PE goes for.

Not got the x2 yet either, so as I will probably end up selling one of my lesser systems to fund this I may sell both and go conroe at *** same time.

I would be interested in those second hand prommies but as I don't post a lot, I may not have access to them.
 
The auto-censor has good and bad days :p (Although I don't know many 3 letter swear words so what it thought it was getting I do not know!) (an no I don't count mistpeled ones!)
 
awesome - great bits of kit, you won't be disappointed! Sound be somewhere around £250ish depending on what's been done to it. (and age of course)

Do you know if it's R134 or has it been regassed to 404 or something similar? And make sure it's got the right Head kit - they're £60 to change!
