The Billet Box Kit, By LEO √
We have used our Billet Box with Cartomizers (nice!), Aspire BVC coils with a Billet Bridge (yay!) and also with a Diver v2 (perfect!) ~ now how about having some juice control? Welcome SOPHIA, By Leo!
Aspire BVC with Billet Bridge...................................................Billet Box with Diver v2
Sophia lets you sleep peacefully knowing that not a single drop of juice will leak thru and our Billet Box won’t be a juicy mess when we wake up!
Sophia in the Billet Box
And not just that, the Sophia vapes exceptionally well. And the Billet Box, a quality "all-in-one” device that it already is, gets totally rejuvenated with a Sophia inside it!
BB Kit & Sophia *Installation*
A) Which model of Sophia should I get?
Sophia comes stock as a (1)45mm Carto-RBA. This is the best mode for a tank ~ since that 5mm protrusion above the top cap is good enough to grab and rotate for processing its juice control feature. However, for the Billet Box it’s wise to purchase it’s (2)“Short Body Tube” (to make it into 35mm overall length). This ensures that the Sophia, like a cartomizer, will completely sit inside the Billet Box’s tank. Which makes the tank easier to put-in and take-out. Nonetheless, the Sophia can albeit be used in all it’s sizes inside the Billet Box including with it’s (3)“Long Body Tube" Mode. Explanations below...
NOTE: While purchasing the Sophia we can choose the length of the Top Body Tube. There's an option between the 45mm mode and 35mm mode.
B) The BB Kit, By Leo:
The BB Kit comes with five parts in the package. For all purposes #1 to #4 is all we need to install the Sophia in the Billet Box. Part #5 may not be used. However, this brass strip is touted to offer a better and warmer vapour, which I didn’t find the case. I’ll nonetheless show you how to install that as well in the end.
1) Sophia Short Body Installation:
STEP-1: Replace the Top O-Ring:
Since we’d be using the juice control feature of the Sophia it’s important that we replace the stock O-ring (black) of the Billet Box’s tank with the supplied red O-ring. This O-ring is made of softer, larger and sturdier material ~ and it helps immensely while rotating the top body tube/s.
TIP: Don’t forget to ‘lube’ the O-ring. I use a bit of vaseline ~ but a drop or two of our e-liquid could do the same job.
STEP-2: Attach the 510 Ring (#1) to Sophia’s Base:
^Preferred way of attaching the 510 ring #1
TIP: This 510 nut (#1) has two different faces. One side is hollow, while the other is flat. If you attach this nut with the “hollow side” facing upwards, towards the Sophia’s base, you’d get a 'tight draw'. Exactly opposite would be if you attach it with the “flat side” facing upwards. In which case you get a pretty decent ‘open draw’.
STEP-3: Insert Sophia into the Tank:
STEP-4: Attach Top Ring (#4):
STEP-5: Insert the Driptip Adapter (#3):
NOTE: This step is important b’coz the supplied adapter snug-fits the Sophia. And helps/enables to rotate the top body with ease for juice control. Besides, this Driptip Adapter barricades the Top Ring (#4) and being made of steel ensures that our e-liquid doesn't come in contact with brass.
STEP-6: Insert Driptip and “Feel" the Juice control:
NOTE: Play around with the juice control a couple of times, but close it before filling. Open it a turn, or turn & a half, based on the viscosity of your e-liquid after filling the tank.
2) Sophia Regular Size Installation:
STEP-1: Attach 510 ring (#1) and insert the Sophia’s base into the Tank:
STEP-2: Attach Top Ring (#4)
STEP-3: Insert Regular Body Tube of the Sophia thru this Top Ring
STEP-4: Attach a Driptip and play with the Juice control
3) Sophia Long Body Installation:
STEP-1 & 2: Same as before
STEP-3: Insert Long Body Tube of the Sophia thru this Top Ring
STEP-4: Play with the Juice Control
NOTE: This body tube comes with an integrated drip tip, hence there’s no need to attach anything else over it. In fact you can’t.
C) The Brass Connector Strip Installation (#5):
STEP-1: Place the Brass Connector Strip (#5) onto the 510 base of the Sophia:
STEP-2: Tighten the 510 Ring (#1) over the strip firmly:
STEP-3: Gently bend the brass strip along the rear of the tank:
STEP-4: Repeat the same on the tank’s top end:
STEP-5: Assemble everything:

BOTTOMLINE:
Billet Box is a pioneering product, which shook the carto vaping world years back as a wholesome “all-in-one” device. The advent of Aspire BVC coils - and it’s embodiment into it via Atmistique’s Billet Bridge was another step forward in 2014 given that volume vaping was on the rise. However, folks who loved tinkering plonked-in the Diver v2 (a carto-RBA) instead - and voila, we had a rebuildable Billet Box in our hands. And it did a fantastic job.
But then Sophia, By Leo, is the bees neez of Carto-RBAs! Which took that form factor to a whole new level. And now, with the help of By Leo’s BB Kit the fun continues with the Billet Box!. Juice Control, flavour and voluminous vapour herein get into a compact device. This is truly how Billet Box vaping is meant to be!
