Long overdue pit stop for the Billet Box / Exocet
It’s been standing on the bench for a while because of the extra schlepp to rewick it. Taking it apart and being careful and then relubing etc...
But it’s back up and running! Rewicked with Royal Wicks and filled with Wiener Vape’s Panama
Two things struck me after the first few toots:

Two things struck me after the first few toots:
- Man the flavour on this Billet with Exocet is magic. Deep and rich. Dynamite in a small package.
- Second, the Panama juice from Wiener Vape @Rooigevaar is very special. Haven’t vaped it for a long time. Had this spare bottle ready but forgot about it. What a great juice. Fruity menthol taste explosion. And the Billet Box is doing it good justice

This was a while back but only time that I can think of when everything was together.... ish
But it did make me realize that even though I buy new gear that it’s always the usual suspects that just somehow find themselves back in my hand.
Also fail to send a full foto of the pitstop as I end up dripping or filling a tank while I’m busy, have to have a pit stop atty ready at all times

With testing commercial coil atties I fell behind a bit, this is going to take some time though!

The 2 ultem atties are Dvarws
It’s a Dwarf 16 mm MTL clone that I use in my Pico Mini, super combo with super flavour.
That excludes the 7 currently being used. I’m lazy so I get more than one of a thing, one on one to be built, but I really shot myself in the foot this time, usually only about 6 or so to do a week.
The Dvarw Army is ready for the week! All wicked up, clean and ready for juice!
WOW!!! Amazing line-up Oom @Rob Fisher! Enjoy!
Reo Silver got a full pitstop this evening
She got a bit of a clean. Atty cleaned out thoroughly. Deoxit gold on the contacts.
She needed a new coil - my perfect MTL tobacco coil - 29g Kanthal paracoil. CB2 wick
Loaded with HHV Huntsman tobacco juice. Blast from the past. Who remembers this great juice?
And voila. Am happy. Vaporizing with vigour. Crisp. Scintillating. Stonking throat hit. What a glorious MTL vape!

Next up my MTL tank, the Rose MTL
Needed a new coil, used one of the supplied fuses Claptons which work great. It’s a 0.7 ohm coil. CB2 wick. Didn’t take a pic.
But here’s the final pitstopped device. This one is dedicated to Havana Nightz.
Such a superb MTL tank. Super flavour and no leaks or hassles. Lovely.
Juice is legendary too!

This evening it was time for a pitstop of another workhorse - the mighty Lemo1
New coil. Very basic 28g Kanthal 2mm ID coil. 1.35 ohms. Simple but works like a charm in this atty
Rayon wick using the ‘drape method’. Rayon brings out the crispness for the juice dedicated to this tank. And it’s good for lower power vaping. It’s a fruity menthol mix of VM Strawberry plus extra menthol. About 12mg.
And voila! All done. This may be a very old tank but for me it works like a gem as a workhorse desk vape.
Gives me the sharpest and most crisp flavour for this juice. I have tried many tanks. I think it’s the shape of the chamber and the chimney section combined with the driptip. Not sure exactly but it works so well.
Great capacity. Low power 11.5W. Very economical. Not a sausage of a problem or leak in several years!! What a tank.
Oh, and don’t get me started on it’s rock solid driver, the Sig 100 plus. What a fabulous desk mod. Sturdy when standing. Best fire button I’ve had on a mod. Reliable as anything. Years of service.

So this evening I spent quite a long time trying to resurrect my Kayfun V3 Mini, which has been sitting on the bench for a while.
I’ve been doing more MTL these days so wanted to fire it up again. It had an issue which I have discovered others also have (from reading ECF) in that it gurgles a bit when you make the airflow quite tight, which is how I like it. That gurgle drove me nuts.
So I thought to myself I can live with a slightly looser MTL, let me get it up and running.
Well, I spent a long time and ran into problems with ohms jumping. After building two coils, thinking it was the coil that was loose , then fiddling with the damn airflow screw and undoing the 510 screw each time, I ended up so frustrated and just aborted it...
Ah well, that’s how it goes with vaping. Sometimes it’s plain sailing, other times it’s just rough and frustrating.
I don’t even know why I tried this damn atty tonight. The Reo RM2 beats it by a country mile for me for tobacco MTL. Draw is perfect, flavour much richer and no problems. But you know how it goes, you see the atty sitting there, you read something online and get an idea....
Here’s my first coil I wrapped with the superfine MTL. Spent a while getting it right and afterward did the wicking perfectly - I thought
Then I ripped it out thinking the ohms jumping had to do with not catching the legs properly. Turned out it wasn’t that. Lol.
More basic coil. Spaced 28ga simple coil. I liked this coil. Also took me a while. My eyes aren’t as good as 5 years ago and this is a small deck. I was quite proud and thought this would fix the problem. But no, it didn’t.
Abort mission. Here is the guilty setup. On the Minikin. Looks very nice and feels nice. But ohms are jumping all over the place and I’ve tried everything with the airflow screw and 510 pin. Apparently it has to do with something shorting or touching what it’s not supposed to. Nothing works. Ah well. I came close to chucking the atty in the ‘gorge’. But decided to just put it back on the bench and leave it for another day.

I got the Kayfun V3 Mini working tonight
Checked up online and the ohms jumping was from a slightly loose hex nut under the 510 pin. Luckily I had a socket set that could do the job. Apparently others have had the same issue and that’s the fix.
Had to settle for a slightly loose MTL because when I make it the tightness I like it gurgles slightly.
It’s still very good and am enjoying it with Havana Gold. Lovely juice. Very tasty. Nice mellow vape. Still not RM2 type explosive rich flavour but it’s very good.
Nice to have the KF3 mini back in action.
I actually think this tank would do great on a pipe of sorts...
PS, it has a sub ohm tank band on. It’s not a sub ohm coil. The coil is now reading a stable 1.12 ohms

A "little" TLC on my Gata RTA before it heads to it's new home, damn my OCD, this was fresh out of the ultrasonic cleaner drying and then assembled and packed.

I have a kayfun V4 that a friend bought me in st petersburg russia and i have tried time and time again to get that atty just to vape like any other MTL but i have major issue with it, its the most temperamental atty i have ever come across and to make things worse if it has 51 pieces that make this thing work and a juice flow control that just floods the deck the moment i open it very slight, its an ornament no, a very pretty ornament
