I'm using the Stringray open bottom on mine and it's actually working a LOT better than the stock atty. If you look inside the stock atty, it's a fairly crappy coil in my opinion. Not the typical micro coil style you see in better attys.

I so wanted this to be my vaping bliss device. Maybe I need more practice which I will do. But, I taste plastic and over all odd/off taste with my Aurora BFT. I've tried various diff volt settings, drip tips to no avail. I'm so sad because I was super excited to try this.
Did you try a different atty?
Have you ever tried direct dripping on a "regular" store bought premade shelf atty? HH357, Aero, Vapage Hybrid, 510, 306, io6 etc.?
If you like them and don't like them in the Aurora due to taste differences, I would not recommend a bottom feeder.
I suggest you get a $5 to $24 "regular store bought premade shelf atty" like the Stingray, HH357, Vapage Hybrid, Aero, Ikenvape 510 or JoyE510 and try that before investing in another battery holder with an atty connection attached.

Thx! I'm going to try that next. I was excited to try it out so just used what came in the kit. I've never dripped yet at all and really want to test flavors out by dripping versus filling tanks.
I really had high hopes for this Aurora but IMO, flavor isn't popping and what does, I'm getting a slight plastic taste.

I'd try the Surge Tank but for that price, I'd just get a reg bottom feeder! That price is insane!!!!
The only possibility for a plastic taste that comes to mind is that the little washer in the top of the atty got pushed way down so that it is too close to the coil. If that isn't the problem and no one can think of something else that might be causing it, I think it might be best if you contact your vendor. There haven't been any problems with the four Auroras I have nor the two I gifted so something may be amiss with yours.
Agreed ... that would be the most obvious culprit ... that little white "drip shield" can easily slide down out of place.
Thx I will check it out. I thought maybe it was the little plastic bottle, I didn't rinse it out before using so that was my thought but maybe not.
Side note, i just bought a mini protank II for the lady because she wanted to change drip tips.
Soon as she got it we washed it like usual, swapped tips........ She complained of a plastic taste. Went back to metal/chrome tip, no plastic taste.
I never tasted it personally. What i do taste while using this is almost like actual juice, the first few puffs are so moist that it has a distinct slight after taste that im not 100% sure exactly what it is.
Could you be tasting a bit of juice? Does it get better ( or less ) as you puff?
Scope666, im gona try and pick up a stingray soon. Yea the coils look like bcc coils just like in my mini protanks. Not all that crazy.

I tried everything I could think of..so I ended up trying to pull up the little the plastic piece on the atty and ended up pulling it completely off accidentally cuz the juice on it made the little sucker slippery.
UGH! And can't get the little silver top piece back on. So I went ahead and dumped the juice out since there wasn't much left any way and giving the little plastic bottle a nice hot shower!
Going to try the set up again later today and see if the plastic taste is gone. I had Gorilla Juice in it which to me has a pretty strong flavor and one that I love. In the Aurora, I didn't taste it much at all and it had that hint of plastic. Just weird to me.
It could be these cheap drip tips/attys..who knows. I need to pick up new ones. I'm not giving up on this set up because I do think it will work and not ready to go for broke yet and buying a $99.00 Surge Tank, although that looks like its made better than this set up. Don't have to turn that one upside down which is way more appealing.

Just wondered if a regular Boge carto would work in the Aurora? Mine is out for delivery today.
I think I tried a Boge once on mine, but I couldn't get it to feed properly. (could have been user error though)
The boge carto coils are higher up i think, not sure it would work.
I tried bobas in the aurora and it tasted just like it, so i think you can get it working.
Dry hits kinda taste plasticy to me i think, maybe squank it more, maybe it needs more juice.
I tried the "cartomizer" labeled dripping atty that came with the bft last night, seemed almost the same as my replacement single coil heads, but would dry hit after one puff. Where the heads take 3-5, kinda didnt like that. May try it again and give it more squanks

Open bottom Stingray ... world of difference from the stuff that comes in the package:
Stingray 510 Atomizer
thanks for the great write-up, peraspera. when you say that the vmod 3ml bottle is 1/4" too long, does that mean that it wont work with the aurora, or is it that its just weird looking? id love to get an aurora and use my stash of vmod bottles now that my vmod is sadly deceased.
Yesterday I received my Vision Aurora BFT Kit from the UK Ecig Store. On their site the price reads "£19.99" with "Ex Tax: £16.66" below that. I was charged the £16.66. The VAT was £3.79 and the International Signed (Insured & Tracked) shipping was £3.79. The total was £22.75 GBP ($36.46 USD).
Even though I chose the cheapest shipping option I received my package in the Midwest one week after placing my order. The package was sent registered but I did not have to sign for it.
The UK Ecig Store listed the device I purchased as a Vision Aurora BFT Kit the and that is what is on the box I received. However, the device itself has "Infinity" etched on the beauty ring. Vision shows a Vision Infinity BFC device on their site with a picture of a box reading, "Vision Aurora BFT."
To add to the confusion Vision lists the tank capacity as "Self-feeding 3ML" but the device I received as well as the one Todd reviewed is 1.8 ml. as shown on the UK Ecig Store site. The tank is certainly not self-feeding as you have to squeeze the bottle to saturate the atty.
I tried seeing how a 3 ml. bottle from Vapage would fit. The threading and diameter of the bottle are perfect but the positive pin in the bottom of the Aurora/Infinity makes the bottle stick up 1/4" too far. I wonder if Vision planned on including a 3 ml. bottle but forgot about allowing for the pin.
The enclosed dripping atty isn't stamped but it reads 2.87 oHms. It did not contain any primer. There is a clear, frosted silicone washer above the coils. I don't know what its purpose is. The tube you use with the clearo-type heads doesn't have this washer.
The two heads that you use with the separate enclosed tube are stamped 1.8. One is actually 2.1 oHms and the other 1.9 oHms. They use two coils stacked on top and perpendicular to one another. Since there aren't replacement heads currently available I've not tried to rebuild one.
The purple color is the strong pink side of fuchsia rather than being purple. The diameter is 17 mm. (.67") and when assembled with the short included drip tip it's a very tall 97 mm (3.82"). On my iTaste VV 3.0 the whole shebang measures 198 mm. (7.8") tall. This is far too tall to be pocket-friendly but the Aurora/Infinity paired with my iTaste VV 3.0 stays right side up on a lanyard. I've got the lanyard clipped to an o-ring on the beauty ring.
The inside of the metal tube is plated while the outside looks like anodized aluminum. There is some sort of very soft, squishy, frosted clear plastic between the two metal layers which is what covers the windows. The outside seems to have some sort of clear plastic shrink wrap on it like is used to temporarily cover digital readout screens and the like to prevent scratching during manufacturing packaging. However, I don't know if one is supposed to remove this covering from the tube or not so I'm leaving it even though it makes the tank look like it's a bit marred in places.
To feed the Aurora/Infinity you tilt your PV downward, gently squeeze the bottle, return to the PV to an upright position and let go of the bottle. If you flood the atty just squeeze the bottle while the PV is upright to pull the excess juice back down into the bottle. However, I've not had it flood so far. In the few hours I've used it the Aurora/Infinity has performed flawlessly. The taste and performance certainly exceeded my expectations.
So far, I've only used the included dripping atty which is consistently delivering great crackly goodness. I'm was very surprised to find that the Aurora/Infinity does a better job of keeping the atty fully saturated than my VMOD-XL. I much prefer my AMP Tanks because they auto-feed but the Aurora/Infinity is a third of the price and doesn't have a breakable glass tank.
The build quality is about what one sees in the Viva Novas—certainly nothing to write home about although everything threaded together well. Also, I didn't see any extra heads, juice bottles nor any other spare parts on the UK Ecig Store site. The lack of extra juice bottles is of particular concern because I don't know where else one might find them.

how about a bottom feed rda like the A7...would that work on an aurora? i sure hope so
Here's how the single coil looks dissected ... I'm going to try and build a micro coil in here with cotton, to try and replicate a high end atomizer feel.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. It's a standard 510 connection, that just happens to be willing to shoot juice up.

awesome. now all i need is for the replacement bottles to become available. or if im really lucky, the vmod 2.0 bottles will fit. but perhaps they dont work with the aurora. im waiting for a response on that from peraspera.
Got Vapes is the only place I've found replacement bottles but they have no lids.
However, the VMOD bottle lids fit the Aurora bottle although the VMOD bottles themselves will not work with the Aurora due to length.
Isnt there an update to this device.
I saw a youtube video posted somewhere about a similar device, but you did not have to invert it to fill the atty. It had a long this tube between the bottle and the 510 connector on top.
Anyone know what device I am talking about?

The Aurora BFT is fairly easy to convert to blind squonking like a Reo
My aurora bft modded to accommodate any 510 bf atty and for blind squonking.....just a little bit of trimming and drilling, a 16g needle, and an oring inside the 510 to block off the side air holes. I will probably trim down the stock beauty ring to pretty it up a little, but it doesn't need to be pretty to use it.
I cut off the top even with the 510 connection.
Drilled a 1/16" hole (I think) and then pressed in a 16g hypodermic needle that I cut to the needed size.
Then found an oring that fit inside the 510 on the aurora and still let an atty screw on, this blocks the side air hole in the aurora.
This is my modded Aurora BFT with Cyclone BF Atty
