    ~The Billet BoX~

    SE and his Billet Box are off having a ... private moment, together. Given that SE's first post-BB-bliss posting is likely to be unintelligible, I will do us all the favor of a translation-in-advance: "After all of my quiet patience, the Billet Box arrived today. I got around to opening it...

    I just eyeball it with my rotary tool. But, a standard carto is just over 9mm in diameter ... the end of a standard carto end cap (a.k.a. "condom") is a bit over 10mm ... so, good benchmarks there. Also consider: - Take a carto with the end caps still on somewhere where you can measure -...

    I have a Plunger and have tried that. All my 510-510 connectors have four slots cut into them that let water flow outside the cartomizer. Still works to a degree but not as effectively. It might be possible to find one with a flat top but most are designed that way for airflow. I don't think...

    For nicotine base I recommend RTS Vapes. Coupon code FIRSTORDER for 20% off nic bases makes it cheaper and I'm pretty sure if you wait long enough between orders it might even be used more than once. My PG/VG came from essentialdepot.com. Haunt their "ON SPECIAL - 50-70% Off" and "ON SPECIAL -...

    Though the FAQ didn't specifically recommend either Red or Black 16340's over the other, most users seem to prefer the black AW ICR 16340's which are 3.7 volts - not the lower-voltage RCR123A's. However, a quick bit of research finds that there are batteries out there labelled as "RCR123A"...

    Figure if it's good enough for DD, it's good enough for me. . . .

    OK, we got a bunch of new users just poking their heads into the thread and more surely to come, so ... it's probably time for something like this. I think it covers just about everything, but updating is easy, so here goes: The Billet Box FAQ (Version 1.0, April 2013) CARTOMIZER QUESTIONS...

    Kind of resurrecting an old project, you could potentially build one of these: Cartomizerfillinator/Cartomizercleaninator V2. I gave away a bunch of these on PIF a while back and don't think any have worn out. Getting the pieces-parts used at the time required some bulk buying so it wasn't...

    Just remember: One data point does not imply a trend. :) ... but I'll keep my fingers crossed (for all of you) anyway!

    I have an SS version of those tips, and haven't had any pocket issues. Even with the long tip it's still way shorter than most mods.

    Not entirely sure yet. :) I would imagine that it feeds through where the bottom/atomizer meets the body. Sure we'll figure it out. :)

    Heads up - in case anyone was interested in or looking into the Diver carto-sized RBA - the site just went live. The order process is tricky, had to go through lots of page translations and could not use PayPal because the site handles the address oddly (converting street numbers and zip codes...

    Nope. The cartomizer does not go through the brass ring. The ring sits on top of the cartomizer.

    Nah, I have no business sense and would have no idea how to go about getting something like I'm thinking of made. My "final" design idea is pretty simple, it just requires making things I have no way to make. But I'll ponder it ... You'll know if I hit on something when you get my order for a...

    I did a search on eBay for "Dispensing Needle 20 ga" and found quite a few, but had to buy a fairly large quantity (50 - not a big deal, since I will use them for other things, too). From U.S. sellers, qty. 50 can be had for ~$12 shipped; from China sources you can get 100 for even less. I...

    Believe me, I understand. At its best something like this will never be as elegant as the native, internal tank. This is just the kind of thing that happens when I'm bored and the solderin' fingers get itchy. Still, I think some folks would be interested in it should an inevitably better...
