Billet Box Mod (BB)

[Rob Fisher]

Hi Ho @Silver your wicks are just fine and I do mine with similar short tails... and yes the Royal Wicks is certainly the best wicking material (for the BB and Skyline anyway) around. I just noticed the wick in the Ultem tank is really short and I have refilled it twice and no issues. The wick on the right in the Nugget with Flo is pretty much ideal.

The ultem tank is not a chicken dinner and you can see a bit of leaking from that rubber plug.

P.s. I'll throw the lipo on a pro charger tomorrow. Just giving it the 8 hour initial (after testing and flipping the car a few times ) charge.

Spot the bb!
I got tired of buying these R400 jobies at checkers and then they were broken after 2 days.

At least I can now limit the throttle electronically and replace parts when I need to etc...View attachment 109521

Nice toy dude

I prefer my helicopters but its dangerous to fly with a 4 year old running after it especially when I'm getting 3000 rpm on 1.5 metre carbon fibre composite blades.

You are older than me you old fart!

I own a mikado but that has been sitting for 4 years.
The indoor helis get occasional use but the billet boxes and my rewicking take up most of my time

Thanks for the tip
Thanks to VapeCon, my vaping is way , way behind where it should be @Amir
Been on "maintenance mode" for far too long, except for the new BB, which was an opportunity I had to take at the time it came.

I dont have Panama, I still need to get Calamity Jane or about 5 other juices...

But I am slowly getting back into the swing of things and hopefully I can catch up pretty soon

Panama is a must have. Especially for your style of vaping. It shines at lower wattage single coil builds

Thanks @Rob Fisher
What was the attraction for the ultem tank though?
Does it fill through that little plug?

The attraction was just something new... I love testing new stuff looking for the perfect equipment... and yes you fill though the little plug.

My first wicking of the BB.

Don't laugh but I haven't rewicked it myself before.

When I got it, @Rob Fisher had kindly coiled and wicked it for me. I vaped on it quite a bit, but worried how was i going to figure out how to rewick this while in the heat of VapeCon preparations. (Those last two weeks were hectic). Then a week or two later at VapeCon Rob rewicked it for me on the Thurs night.

I haven't vaped it much the past 2 weeks because I could tell it was going a bit off. Had vaped plenty tankfuls

I found it quite easy actually. Not too many challenges.

R2 coin to take off the top ring part. I was a bit baffled how to remove the Exocet but then figured it out. Lol. With these things i have learnt not to use force, in case i break something.

I discovered that I could fire it on my Pico. Hehe. RiaanReds fused Clapton looked good again after some pulsing and streams of water.

Wicked with CB2. Incidentally Rob, i have a feeling your wick is slightly better.

Am loving my LIT Sidechick at the moment, so that went in.

Lubed all visible o rings.

And voila! It's vaping beautifully! This flavour is gorgeous. The BB is back in action.

@Rob Fisher I think I made the wick tails a tad bit too short. When installed they don't quite touch the walls of the Boro tank. They protrude out but not by much. I hope it's okay and doesn't give trouble down the line. But so far so good

Not sure how well you can see in this pic.

Anyhow, very happy now

Great job on your first wicking of the BB @Silver!
Looks like you did a fantastic job and are enjoying the fruits of your labor
The BB is fast becoming the absolute favorite device in my arsenal...

The BB is indeed a great device and I am getting more familiar and acquainted with it

This is what I like about it
- so compact and portable, neat and tidy
- i like the feel in the hand
- nice juice capacity
- great battery life
- lovely flavour with the exocet and a fused clapton and fruity menthol juice
- draw suits me - am lucky - reasonably restricted lung hit

Nearly no negatives. Perhaps just that rewicking requires a bit more than just popping off the top of the atty. But i think one needs to use this with a good juice one likes that doesnt need frequent wicking.

Depends on the juice but I have 1 bb that I can go about 5 or 6 refills and another with one of my current favourites wich is a coil and cotton shredder than i can get 2 boros before a rewick.

It becomes easier with time and also the small tradeoff for great flavour is aceptable.

Ultrasoniced and rewicked 10 devices this evening and the 3 bbs were probably the fastest even though the BB'S got new coils as well.

 

[Silver]

10 devices in one evening - sho - that is a major pitstop @Christos !

I do like 1/2 at a time - maybe 3 if I am feeling energetic.

The other thing I like about the BB is how easy and quick it is to fill. Takes a few seconds. Amazing.

The BB is by far my favorite and most satisfying device to fill

I also tend to do maintenance on 1 or 2 items a night... unless if I have a friend over for a planned vape maintenance session, then we do all the gear.

These planned maintenance sessions sound good @TheV
Must be fun doing it with another vaper

I do only 1 or 2 devices per pitstop but I had a lazy week and was down to vaping xxx in my skyline. I would have skipped the pitstop except I ran out of XXX

Everything was rinsed and de-wicked and some were even ultrasoniced already but i wanted to recoil and rewick and ultrasonic everything.

Must have felt awesome to have 10 "soldiers" ready to go for the week ahead @Christos !
