Does anyone know how to lock the fire button? I've been getting some pocket hits lately with this DB2.
Dripbox 2 is here

They got the silver and white at ukecigstore. Ordered the silver one, and Christmas will arrive early this year. 
Finally got it up and running, and wondering if the 510 is adjustable on it? It seems like it is, or am I wrong? The 160 watt version got a spring loaded 510 I read, so would be weird if this new hasn't got one too.
Very pleased with it!

I can't speak for the Dripbox 2 but the Dripbox 160 does not have a spring loaded or adjustable 510 connector.
Thank you! Psyclone Hadaly makes contact without being flush, but I can screw it flush. Together with DB2 it's a great combo.
While I still can't figure out how to change the power level in TC mode I decided to try a low energy build on a new FT Hadaly clone that just came in:
It sits mostly flush on the DB2, maybe some air gap. I had previously set the TC profile to support NiFe48.
Capturing the flat wire under the bars proved to be somewhat challenging on one side. The deck on the Hadaly is one the flattest I've seen for a BF rba. Center pin is flush with the deck (no trimming).
Here is 7 wraps of 30AWG NiFe48 flat wire with 2.5mm ID.
Man does this build toss out the clouds!

Mine is also almost flush. Nice setup! Never tried NiFe48 wire. Got to google a bit. Great idea to angle the coil for fitting longer coils. Didn't think of that. Can't find NiFe48 at Steam Engine, and wondering what Ohm you got?
Got a Wotofo Hive coil at 0.47Ohm with 12mg nic juice and Fiber Freaks density 2. No need to chainvape.

Steam engine calls it Nifethal52 (alloy52), the vendor in Germany calls it NiFe48.
The angle was not planned but rather me opening the coil up slightly so I could remove the 2.5mm rod. Flat wire tends to really grab onto your jig. This one ohms out at 0.69 ohms cold. I usually dry burn the coils before wicking but did not in this case. Once wicked I had a few shorting windings which singed my Rayon a bit. A little tweaking with tweezers got the coils nicely spaced.
Thank you! Will order some wire now. Had to rewick as I stuffed to much rayon. Got dry hits. It was really tight.
Had to rewick as I stuffed to much rayon. Got dry hits. It was really tight.0.47Ohm was too violent with 12mg juice. I enjoy this build much more made with SS316L 30awg. It's at 1.2Ohm.Using Cotton Bacon as I didn't take my chances with rayon with a thin wire like that. Hard enough to get trough with a 28awg wire.
I twist a smaller "pilot" section to get through the coil and then hang onto it and twist the be-gebers out of the rest of the Rayon (compressing it) and slowly slide it into the coil. 30AWG NiFe48 flat wire is VERY soft and requires some patience to work with. The pay off is the enormous wick coverage coupled with the very low mass (it is 30AWG after all). Very fast response time. Low energy.
I try to only purchase mods with editable TCR so I can use my flatwire 'exotics'. I just pulled a +6mo old build out of a Lemo2. I was really just wanting to switch from Silica rope to Rayon and was unable to without deforming the coil.
I'm really liking the Dripbox2 now. It just takes the right RBA and build.

Thank you for telling me that it's possible, and that the DB2 can be configured for "exotic" wire. Yes, the DB2 is great. It feels very solid. 30awg wire seems to be my favorite too. I always get a good vape when using it.
Six months? I had no idea wire could work that long. That's great to know. I just shelved all my kanthal wire. Money down the drain I'm afraid.

Please don't get me wrong, ANY wire (mostly used for vaping) can last years if not decades. However given enough time with dark and/or sugary juices and they just get 'gunked up' is all. The wire itself is still ok.
When using the smaller diameter wires many/most times folks will deform the coil while removing/reinstalling the wick after dry burning. Often times it is easier to simply recoil rather than attempt to reform the existing coil.
I vape mostly unflavored VG so my builds can last months rather than days.

Thank you so much! I often use scissors to cut the wick next to the coil. Been trying out a lot, and built many coils since I started vaping again a little while ago.
Vaped dry my Hadaly now, so I can change to rayon in the morning. Good night!

Have successfully wicked 30awg with rayon thanks to you!
And you were right about removing the wick. Had to make a new coil. Regarding the Dripbox I regret buying it after reading this: Kanger spare bottle for DRIPBOXAny other bottle that's compatible?

There was a post in the original dripbox thread,i forget who posted it,but the bottles from Vapage can be modded to work.On that persons suggestion,i bought a couple,and it is pretty easy to mod them,and they are definitely better quality bottles.

I got a DripBox 60w when it was First released. And used it Exclusively at home until I bought a CV. Then I split time between the two.
I am Still on the 1st Bottle that came with it.
That's super! Thank you!
Thank you! Great to hear that it hasn't cracked. Had a CV in my chart before you replied, and was almost sure about ordering it, but now I'm 100% sure.
