Rewick for the Rose MTL. I use CB2. This device is for MTL tobaccoes.

Am liking this tank quite a lot. Been reliable so far. Nice and tight MTL draw. No issues. Have been using it for a month or two. Thanks to @BumbleBee.

Not RM2 / Reo MTL league but very good and nice to have another MTL Tobacco on the rotation. And this tank brought back my old VTC Mini back into service. Love this little mod. Such a trooper and lovely screen.

Super flavour on my JOOSE-E-LIQZ Havana Nightz "blend". (A bit more nic and a dash of menthol)
Lovely. Havana Nightz is a great tasty tobacco gem of a juice by @Naeemhoosen .

Just rewicked the Dvarw. This time I tried @Rob Fisher 's 'exocet' method.

With a thicker piece of Royal Wick cotton. I have a 2.5mm coil inside. I think it has to be tight as well because on 2.5mm a comfy but not tight fit won't be enough to close off the juice holes.

Thanks for the video Rob. I learnt how you keep the cap part loose until both wick ends are through. Makes it a lot easier.

And voila. All good. Vape is quieter Rob, you were right. And flavour is great. VK PomCool doing the honours again. Lovely juice.

I just hope it doesn't leak slightly because I tried a similar method a while back and it leaked but I think it was because I didnt have enough wick so it didnt close the juice holes properly. So far so good - lets see how it goes...

And for me, that's the secret Hi Ho @Silver! Tight through the coil... no cracking or spitting... just smooth, quiet and flavourful! On a five-second draw more than 2 POPS is too much.

Ya, thanks Rob
My previous coil was a lot noisier. You heard it on the phone a few times. Haha
But despite that noise it was still good flavour.

But i do prefer the quieter coil now
Now I'm cruising :)
 
Blending pit stop for one of my favourite juices that takes a fairly permanent spot in the BB and Skyline.

LIT Sidechick. From Vape Cartel. It's a gorgeous Pear Litchi Menthol. So tasty. Mixologist is @SEAN P - you made a winner here Sean!

I like to nic it up and add a bit more menthol. Lol.

Everything ready. I use these little 10ml plastic needle nozzle bottles. Love them because they work so well to refill and they small to carry if need be.

Base prepared. It's about 18mg and 14 drops of VM Menthol concentrate.

Then add the juice and shake each bottle. Now I'm good to go!

Time to pitstop the Billet Box

I don't look forward to pitting this device because it's a bit of a schlep and a messy affair. Taking out the Boro and the Exocet is not difficult but an extra few steps that I don't like. And then all the lubing up afterwards.

But

It's so worth it. The BB is a fantastic portable vape. The flavour on it is gorgeous. It's compact and easy to use. Carries a good amount of juice. And the battery lasts long. What a great device.

Just a word of thanks to @Christos who helped me at VapeCon with 10 minutes to go to the opening on Saturday morning! My BB leaked for the first time in over a year. Murphy's law it would happen at a very tense moment. I notices it at about 8h30 and I was furious. If there is a person who knows his vape devices and the BB just as well, it's Christos. He saw me and asked me if there was anything he could help with. I pulled out my BB and said 'here Christos it's leaking and I have no clue or time to attend to it'. Needless to say it was back in my hand a few minutes later and the problem was fixed. It was apparently the top part had gotten loose. Thank you @Christos you saved me more than you know. My BB was my trusted VapeCon device and it carried me through the whole event!

Back to the pitstop...

@smilelykumeenit Exocet alien coil still looking good

Royal wicks in. Cap put on. Tails trimmed. The wicking of the Exo is so easy

All done, lubed in all the right places and put together. Filled with LIT Sidechick.

BB standing proud with its great juice in the background. This folks is one heck of a vape device. For its size and convenience it gives the best vape in my book. What a winner!

If you are in a position to get more boros I recommend getting 3 boros and 3 bridges (in total) just so that you always have a swap out on hand.
 
Time to pitstop the Skyline.

Just a new wick was required. The old one had been in there too long. Royal Wicks yet again. Quite easy to wick this tank. Wicks just 'peeping' out of the juice holes.

f951ff9cbaa566c57444abf381589fa7.jpg


Then quite a lot of lubing of all the o rings just to make sure everything glides nicely.

And voila. Here she is standing proud. This tank is still my number one flavour tank for fruity menthols. By a fair margin. It's let down by its small tank size and the extra steps to fill by having to close then open the juice flow.

But man this tank gives such a pure crisp flavour it's remarkable. I love it for its flavour and it continues to be in daily use.

Once again LIT Sidechick in here as a permanent spot. It's such a great juice that highlights this tank's strengths - for me.

Thanks @Christos - I hear you

It is something I have thought about, but hasnt happened.

I bought the Ti Flow (on one of Rob's group buys) and have it sitting on standby. I got it in case I wanted another BB - but that didn't happen. Thing is that I am happy with the Exocet and just haven't had the need to try out the Ti Flow. Maybe I need to get another Boro (not 3) and load the second one with the Ti Flow. But actually, the setup I have is treating me well so I don't really need it. But it would be nice to have I agree. :D

This vaping gets one in a knot sometimes. One wants all these things and then when you look at your vape desk there are so many devices and tanks and atties - many of which are not being used. Makes one feel a bit guilty.

I know if I got another Boro I would probably put in the Ti Flow and then not use it much. So that is holding me back I guess...
 
A different kind of pitstop.... So the vrou has been mumbling and grumbling about how my vape gear is cluttering the house, so today I decided to put up a shelf in my study and to move my stuff there. Not a bad job methinks.
