The bridge that get next to no fanfare. They must be under $5.
This is the one that comes with the first edition Bantam. It has a narrower positive pin so it can fit into the included 510 adapter for coil setup.

Your right, they cost like five dollars and no one really uses them. I have some In my for sale thread with all the included kanger and nautilus bridges. Its like space junk, it just sits there..

Im not going to lie, I've found myself reaching more for the Astro then any other boro mod. At the beginning all the cutouts felt weird as supposed to the BB. The slimmer and panel free design makes it lightweight and easy to grip.

The bad part! The up and down buttons on the Astro feel out of place. Its difficult to view the screen while adjusting your wattage. You have to flip it around to adjust the up and down buttons. As supposed to the BB that has the buttons on the same side of the screen.

    @Pigs The Kayfun Svemesto bb rda looks nice. How does it perform? I use to enjoy vanilla caramel coffee with dual micro coils, on my kayfuns. Jusy amazing...
    It was a challenge to get dual coils on the kayfuns tiny deck..
    something like this but harder because the screws were in the middle with the coils on the outside...

    Interesting - you've got those little coils in series? Looks cool.

    Not sure I could fit dual coils in the little Kayfun BB deck. I haven't done a direct comparison with my Kayfun Lite Plus 21 but the BB deck feels smaller, even though it's the same design. Will check that and get back to you.

    The KF BB works pretty well. Most open af is 1.8mm. I've run it both with and without the Aerokon pin but prefer it with the pin in, nearly full open.

    4 days from France to my door in Sydney. Fast.

    So far I really like this mod. Built well, comfortable and fires fast. Plenty of air gets in from under and around the boro.
    It's very small for a 21700. Size comparisons below:

    The battery cap is a little crunchy but not too bad. It's on the heavy side but very stable on a flat surface.

    @Pigs, Very nice looking mod and super small for a 21700 mod.
    Sure is.
    One thing that might turn some people off is the way the fire button placement obscures the bottom half of any rba. So if you like being able to see the design on the front of your bridges, this may not be the right device.

    I don't own any other boro mods that have open sides, so don't know if this is normal, but the way this is built, the boro tank sides sit perfectly flush with the mod's sides. I really like the way that looks and feels - no niggly edges poking out.
    When the flush nut or integrated tip is screwed down there is zero play in the tank. Very solid.

    The display looks pretty cool (similar board to the Stubby) but I wish the Ohm reading was a bit bigger.

    I see what you mean with the button and screen placement. I also noticed four canals around the boro area. Maybe a condensation catch?

    I dont see the reason for the air intake on the top front panel. Im sure its not a deal breaker for most.
    Hopefully I'll be able to purchase one from US vendor and save on the money exchange....

    I'm seeing it for USD $149.99 at Vapor DNA. I got mine at Steam and Vape for AUD $194 (USD $125.18) which included the DHL delivery (the DHL cost was more than 1/3rd the cost of the mod in euros but it was my only shipping option) so it was a pretty good price on that day. Will probably get cheaper in all the usual places.

    The top front panel cuttout is more about getting the panel off with a fingernail. Todd got that wrong in his review - all the air comes in from the sides. I just tested it and no air can get in the top panel.

    I'll always hold my hand up when wrong and you are right...

    oops:oops:

    But I wish it was deeper, especially with the droid RDTA, simpy can not use it with the window on :(
    Also added a sticky on the review highlighting my mistake and thanking you for pointing it out :)
