Sure, of course I am more than happy to do so. Might have to make one up, think I sent you my last. Let me know Dan and email me your address. I am anxious to do a side test. Hope mine Scubabatdan version gets here tomorrow also.

Man this hobby is evil.
Have the day off to meet with my Mothers doctors, and do income tax, and some long overdue stuff for work. Now it's 11:15 and I'm sitting here surfing ECF lol. Guess I'll get it in gear...in a little while lol.

Haha. ...I used a hand drill since I was to lazy to go out to my shop. I just started with much smaller bits and worked up. But you do have to watch that heat to keep from desoldering the cup.
Now if he milled the cup into the upper tube and you loose the silicone wouldn't that loose juice control and be in situation I am in now? Some gurgling?
Possible. Could just be your wick though. Mine has been stellar all morning.
Real test will be when the tank goes below half full. Vaping my head trying to get there lol.
Yeah, I think you are right. The extra piece of cotton I stuck over the top of the coil is my strongest suspect. Going to remove that sucker now and see if all goes well. But yeah, knocking out that chimney has been the ticket we have been looking for. No idea why I didn't try it months ago when we discussed it. But I do have a lot going on as you already know.
So you're talking a straight bore all the way down to the coil? Sorta like the original Diver?
So something like this?
Built into the top tube.
Will try and make one tonight.
Have to increase the tube length 1mm to account for the silicone washer removal.
Everything else will remain the same, 4mm center bore.
I had actually thought of this but was going for ease of use for the end user.
The problem I had with this was if the manufacture changes dimension on the cup of has a batch that is larger, the head will just fall of the top tube.

Added I got my ARO heads in yesterday, so I will play with it tonight

Exactly.
Good ppint about the manufacturer possibly changing cup size. Never know if it gets sourced to different factory, and dimensions get changed a bit.
Yes. Pretty much. With the obvious advantage of having the option to just drop in a factory head. I've never tried a Diver, but I did scope em out, and never wanted one mainly because they looked to be a PIA to build. The ARO head, like the Mangers are cake.
TADA!!!! was this quick or what?
The SDV2
Only problem I have was when I took the post off the ARO head the loose wick material cam out with it.

Ohhhh, now I get it. So you remove the top post from the ARO/Kanger head and discard it.
Dan, you a are dangerous man with a little SS, and a lathe
Like how it just looks with the Chinese stem gone if nothing else. Gives it that high end RBA look.
Ah, yeah I had forgotten about those silica top wicks in the factory heads. That is a concern for people that want to use them out of the box.

Houston, we have a problem.
The Billet Box now ships, and has been for a few months now with a redesigned top screw. Instead of mating over the top of the 9mm carto or atty tube, it now also goes inside to seal with an o-ring.
Quick stop over on Doug's site indicates the old version isn't available.

Yup, didn't even think about that as we have been using carto tubes for the top. Hell, I dont even have the original brass screw as it got repurposed for another project. Guess I will have to drill mine out at the top to begin with. Crap.
I still have, and normally use the older screw.
Just glad you sent me that wide bore top and made me dig out the new top screw.

Well we are dressed for success...
So it actually inserts into the carto?
Might have to bore the top out 5mm for the new screw to fit.
What is the OD of the piece that goes into the carto, and depth?

Yes, like a drip tip would. The intention was to prevent condensation and or juice from accumulating outside the tank. I've never seen any improvement with the newer top screw in that regard.
Depth is 2mm. OD measures 8.2mm. Measured with a rule. Someone needs to mic this to check my accuracy though.
