The Billet Box FAQ:

MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS
Q. Does the Billet Box come with any spare parts?
A. Yes.
Your Billet Box should come with a baggie containing spare O-rings for the tank and spare silicon gaskets for the cartomizer positive pin at the bottom of the tank compartment.
Q. Does Billet Box have a rebuildable atomizer tank?
A. A rebuildable atomizer tank design is being considered but is not yet in production (as of May 2014).
Though not all are Billet-Box specific, other options as mentioned under ATOMIZERS/CARTOMIZERS above are available.
Q. The carbon-fiber panels are cool, but are there other options (wood, leather, rubberized, etc.)?
A. As of May 2014, carbon-fiber panels are the only production option. Some one-off Billet Boxes have been made with alternate materials, but none have been made available for sale.
It is highly likely that other materials will be more readily available in the future.
Q. When should I replace the tank O-rings or silicon gasket for the cartomizer positive pin?
A. The O-rings or gasket should last quite a while under normal use, but should be replaced whenever they are obviously nicked or damaged.
Even if damage is not obvious, replacement may be indicated if:
O-rings: Liquid drips or drains from top or bottom of the tank, or the cartomizer slides in or out too easily.
Silicon gasket: Excessive liquid "condensation" is consistently found behind, under or on top of the tank.
Q. How do I replace the silicon gasket at the cartomizer positive pin connection?
A. The gasket is seated in a channel milled around the positive pin.
Use a toothpick to pry under the outer edge until the gasket begins to pop out, then circle around if necessary to completely remove it.
Replace the gasket by placing it over the positive pin and into the channel.
Use your finger or a toothpick to gently but fully seat the gasket into the channel until it is flush with the bottom of the tank compartment.
Q. Katdarling said there would be cake!
A. Don't listen to her.
The cake is a lie.
(But there might be pie.)
As a final note, I personally wish to add that the Billet Box is my primary vaping tool. My ProVari is my back-up device. I am an ex-smoker turned vaper - it's not a hobby yet, it is currently strictly the business of getting me away from smoking - it's been some ten months at this point, and I am not suffering in any way.
Long live the Billet Box~!
