    Well Phil's review simply confirmed for me that the pair I have ordered will work perfectly for my intended use with Aspire BVC Nautilus mini's and or K1's. I was excited to find this little device since I was looking for something small that would power the BVC line at or above 15 watts. I...

    After reading these last few pages, I wish I had not ordered a silver to go along with the black in the same order from Vape NW. Most aggravating is the wife changed from blue to silver at the last minute. Yep, her fault lol.

    Another new Nautilus Mini Bvc user. Incredible

    I've been vaping a rebuilt version of this coil using Kanger and ARO heads off and on for a long time now. When done right, the vertical configuration is about as good a vape from a flavor standpoint there is IMO. Aspire has taken this to perfection! I am thrilled how well these work! Only...

    BSD's vertical hollow core Micro Coil build for ARO, Evod, and Protank heads.

    Cool Kingboomer. I'd really like to be able to revive these Aspire's by a simple cleaning process. One of the benefits of the Kanger/ARO vertical with Rayon is the coils can be completely cleaned and rewicked. Takes me about 15 minutes start to finish to do so. I'm just glad that Aspire...

    BSD's vertical hollow core Micro Coil build for ARO, Evod, and Protank heads.

    I just recently got some of these in. Haven't tried to rebuild one just yet, but it looks like it would be no problem. Very similar process. That said, I'm am extremely impressed with the Aspire BVC coils. Easily the best factory coil I've ever used. Not sure if I could improve on em lol...

    BSD's vertical hollow core Micro Coil build for ARO, Evod, and Protank heads.

    Glad to read it's working well for you Fegri. Great tip about leaving the bit in while putting the stem on! I haven't made any of these for my ProTanks yet, and had some concern that unlike the SABOT-DDD top piece that has a taper at the end leaving a bit more void above the cup that the...

    ~The Billet BoX~

    The original Billet Box top screw was concave where it seated to the carto etc. and no o-ring. Made a good seal IMO. Think the tip modder would be wise to incorporated that original design. Regarding the SABOT-DDD pulling apart. Be sure that the top part fits tightly in the head. Sometimes...

    BSD's vertical hollow core Micro Coil build for ARO, Evod, and Protank heads.

    Never thought about the residual heat. Makes perfect sense!

    BSD's vertical hollow core Micro Coil build for ARO, Evod, and Protank heads.

    LOL. I bought a set of ceramic tipped tweezers for the same reason. Now I have another useless piece of vape gear. Works great actually, but I suspect I'm done with micros.

    BSD's vertical hollow core Micro Coil build for ARO, Evod, and Protank heads.

    Got some new juice in and decided to rebuild some old vertical heads I had put aside to fiddle with. Got to looking at the gunked up coils and it struck me that it seemed impossible for juice to get past what was no longer even small gaps between the coils. First inclination was to try my hand...

    BSD's vertical hollow core Micro Coil build for ARO, Evod, and Protank heads.

    With the Rayon and this type coil, wicking it seems to be hard to mess up. I built three more last evening, for a total of 5 currently up and running, and essentially wicking is just a matter of tamping down the juiced Rayon till it fills the cup entirely. This Rayon wicks incredibly well...

    new way to bend the legs for centered coils

    Great idea OP. I just spent way too much time building some tricky vertical coils. Wish I had seen this first lol.

    BSD's vertical hollow core Micro Coil build for ARO, Evod, and Protank heads.

    OK. I was wrong. Forget everything I've written up to this point. Well almost everything lol. :facepalm: Intuitively, I always assumed that the coil needed to be a micro coil in order to create a airway, or as this type of vertical coil is often referred to "chimney". Not only does it...

    Sabot DDD for the Billet Box

    OK SABOT head modders. Get the magnifying headgear out, and a cold one to steady the hands. Tis a tricky build, but it just freaking rocks! ( Mrs. BSD thinks I'm sexy with my "head thingy" on :tongue: ) Would have posted this a while ago, but, well with the head gear and all, I was, well...

    Sabot DDD for the Billet Box

    Reading a lot of good things about the Aspire BVC. I presume BVC=Bottom Vertical Coil? Wonder where they got that idea lol. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/coil-builds/477072-bsds-vertical-hollow-core-micro-coil-build-aro-evod-protank-heads.html Of course I got the idea from...

    Sabot DDD for the Billet Box

    Hey all you Billet Box aficionados with a SABOT-DDD. I hope to put up some pics and a tutorial Thursday for a vertical coil variant that is working for me better than any coil I've ever put in a SABOT-DDD. Cliff notes version is it's a 30ga, closely spaced, but not touching 1.8 ohm vertical...
