SXK BILLET BOX - Reviews & Discussions

[TheV]

Oh i just have to find out if i am the only one to do this sometimes.

Sometimes when i vape on the bb i accidentally close the air holes holding the bb in my hands. And then when i drag it feels like a very tight mtl draw but then i remember the air holes. And i get a short little chukkle to myself about it and then i shift the bb into another position. And then i vape on and love the flavor.

I've done that "once or twice"
My default grip has now adjusted to a position where that is not likely to happen anymore

Ja, i know it.. It's called the "I look like I'm drinking a cup of tea, with my pinky in the air" grip

Did you purchase it new? If so, surely you should be able to take it back to the supplier.
Sounds like a faulty unit.

 

[PuffingCrow]

Yeah its new, look like its a 7 day return policy with the retailer.

Have you spoken to the retailer?
I do believe it is not unreasonable to expect a total failure like this to be taken care of.

Good luck! Keep us posted on the proceedings. I hope you get your BB sorted without too much difficulty!

Did you manage to sort something out here?

Man my irritation in not having the BB got the better of me, and I with my "electronic skill" thought I will fix it myself and ended up make things worse
So hence the new BB that arrived yesterday, the mind off and addict is a very complicated thing

But I am back in Nirvana me and BB v2

Sorry for your loss but glad to hear BB v2 is treating you well
I hope this one lasts a bit longer bud

Speaking of Hulk undressed. She has some very special battery wraps coming in!
It's still the baby Alien coil I got from @Amir. Just cleaned it up, straightened it out and Rewicked it. Did the tails nice and short and she is vaping up a storm. I'm one happy vaper!

Ok cool

I am curious. A lot of folk use aliens and fused claptons in their exocets or Billet Box atties. Am wondering if anyone has tried a "standard build" with normal round wire, ie nothing exotic. And how does the flavour and longevity compare?

Hi @Silver I have a normal Ni80 6 wrap @ 2,5mm standard coil in and the vape is amazing. I have now juiced up 4 different profiles and they are on point with flavor.

Thanks @antonherbst , nice to know
Do you have a contact coil or a spaced coil?

Its a tight coil @Silver

I still need to learn how to do proper spaced coils. I don't have a photo of it and this is a first for me as i like to take vape photos to easier remember what i did last time. But i know its a ni80 6wrap 2,5mm tight coil.

Thanks @antonherbst

I generally do contact coils too. In my early days with the RM2 i was getting quite a bit of spitting with spaced coils and i didnt like it. Maybe my wicking wasnt good enough and maybe i should have persevered.

It was @RIEFY that famously showed us a few years back how in theory you get more surface area with spaced coils because the wick bumps up against the sides of the wire in the spaces. And he showed a great photo once which was intriguing. I still want to experiment more with spaced.

I believe its not difficult to do spaced. You just do a normal contact and then when its still on the mandrel, you pull it apart quite a bit, then push it close together. When you let go, there are spaces between the wraps. And you can "pick" at it with a sharp tool to even out the spaces.

I want to try spaced coils in some of my devices. Its on my todo list

I have a normal round wire NI80 24g 0.67ohm 2.5id in the iPanther with XXX , but can't compare to anything else. I'm happy with the flavor.
