Ah, nono, not the Uno for me! I'd rather use the Doggy from Atmistique. I like that much better.

@GeekyGeezer -> Thank you very much! Yes you helped me. I will sleep better tonight as this might be a chance for my old lazy eyes to get rid of coils and wicking. And yes i had the 0.5 ceramic in mind.
Will get the bridge next tuesday and will report.

@Susaz -> Also thank you! The thing is more to get a restriction down to MTL. I do own an Atlantis bridge and could even test the vaporesso EUC in it. But this is way to much airflow for me.

I think I have a bug and it has turned out to be a Billet box bug. I just ordered another BB today and got the Unicorn Poo one :) I was thinking about the Paua Unicorn Poo but thought the button didn't look as nice as just the plain black one. I have the Paua Ratbald and thought the button looked good on that. I dunno maybe it's me. I can always change the button out one day. I really need to stay away from BB stuff..lol I did order 2 Dry Plugs and will see how I like those. I just hate condensation it drives me nuts..lol
Cut a little piece of microfiber cloth (there are thin ones for camera equipment) and set it behind the tank when you're mounting it. Also you can cut a piece of that same microfiber and put it inside the lid to help with condensation if you have too much. Going up in liquid density helps a lot.

Hello,
did anyone tried the "MF BIlletBoxBridge FULL KIT" Bridge to use Vaporesso EUC Coils?
Mod Factory store
Curious to know if this is MTL able. They do offer a kit but some real experience would be good.
thanks
armin


I'd say it's a legitimate choice, but it took me a while to get a vape I liked. I'm a MTL vaper and that's what I tried first, using the EUC Drizzle coils which are quite a bit smaller than the other EUC variations. The MTL kit comes with two bottom adapters to make up the difference between that small coil and the boro. Once has a single 1mm air hole and the other has 2 of those which are across from each other. Using either, the thing was so tight I couldn't vape it. After going through a couple of coils trying to improve it, I realized I was doing it wrong.

There is no air passage inside that adaptor - it's just a simple hole. So I realized that by just inserting a coil inside the adapter I may have been blocking the air. A 1 mm hole is pretty small, so it took magnification and a strong light for me to make sure the hole in the coil was centered under the hole in the adapter. That made things a lot better, but even though I got a still tight but workable airflow I wasn't happy with the flavor.

As for the MF without the MTL parts, I'd bought some .4 coils. They were much too open and much too hot. In reading lots of discussions, it seems that everybody was raving about the .5 and not what I had. So I located some .5 and that's how I'm vaping it now.

It's a very loose MTL, but the flavor is good and the coil life with the ceramic coils is exceptional. I generally vape NET juices so coils normally gunk up too much after a boro or so. I'm on my fourth fill on the .5 coil and it's just now starting to taper off.

So to answer your question about MTL, I think it's able but it's probably going to be the loosest vape you've done in a while. Definitely not a lung hit, but there's much less restriction than the fairly open MTL I like. I still prefer an Exocet and then Vapeshell. But after that, in the times I don't feel like building the MF is my choice, better than the OCC, Nautlius, and BVC options I have. Definitely because of coil life, and possibly because of better flavor.

Sorry to ramble so much, but hope something here helps you out.

Been on the MF bridge mtl 1.3 ceramic coils for about 2 weeks now. Love it. 13 watts is perfect. Using the dual air hole base.

Only thing I can say is that you should likely drill out the holes in the two bases. They're advertised as 1mm but mine were not. I forget what they were before but I drilled them with a #62 bit and I love it (for reference that's just about 1mm).

The thing with delrin is you have to drill it slowly. If you go to fast it can shrink when it cools down from the friction of going so fast.

So with true 1mm airholes, the dual hole base makes for a loose MTL and the single hole is going to be your tight mtl. I prefer looser MTL do didn't spend too much time with the single hole. It wasn't bad once drilled, but I remember both bases were super tight like golf ball through a garden hose before I drilled.

Thanks for that info. I thought the air holes looked really tiny, but don't have a plug gauge or anything where I could verify the size.

Hopefully ArminF is still folIowing the thread since I should have added something to my original comments. Using the standard MF kit with the .5 coils, I have to be careful to remember to check when the tank is almost empty. Once it starts exposing the juice holes, things get a bit damp. Not a leak that runs down onto the control panel, but much damper than normal condensation.

And as for the coil life, I'm now on my 5th fill and it's still doing fine. Simply amazing.

@GeekyGeezer / @autobiogphnation

Thank you both! Much appreciated.
Just found this video -

Which confuses me a bit. Would this mean i can only use the "Drizzle" coils for MTL?
Or does the delrin MTL adapter would bit on both coils? EUC and EUC Drizzle?

thanks!


I found that I didn't need the MTL kit at all to get an MTL vape. You can get a loose MTL with the standard kit. I found that even though I am a MTL vaper I could not vape with MF's MTL adaptors. The smaller construction and airflow of the Drizzle might theoretically be a better choice for MTL but I could never get enough air through them to form an opinion. As previously noted, the air flow hole(s) in the adaptors are much too small.

Yes, the MTL kit works only with the Drizzle coils. They are much smaller in diameter than the other EUC coils. The Drizzle coils are too small to seal inside the boro so they are inserted into the MTL adaptor, which IS is the right diameter to work. If you use the standard EUC coils (like the .5), those coils fit and seal perfectly into the boro bottom o-ring so the adaptor is not needed or even possible to use.

I had the same confusion. I did not realize that even though the Drizzle coils are called EUC by Vaporesso, they are a completely different size.

Well, looks like i need to figure it out on my own. Thank you for your replies and sharing your experience.
Tuesday i can tell you more.

Did order normal and Drizzle coils now to test. Then i can decide and will get more of the chosen coils.
I mean it is all worth it when i can vape half a year or even a year lazy and just need to drop in coils and ill liquid. Could test these ceramic coils on my zero and i do really love them. Specially for my creamy custard liquids which usually mess up the wick and coil in between a few tanks...

I have a question for anyone who has the Tweakings Dampless plug and the DryPlugs from SSPP. When using these do you still get condensation on the door and underneath the plug? I'm asking as I got 2 of the DryPlugs and still get condensation on the door and underneath it. Is this normal? kinda of wondering why I spent the $16.00 on the DryPlug as it's still doing the same thing of the condensation. So wondering if the Tweakings is better or not. I don't wanna spend money on something that will just leave the condensation on the door. My vapeshell isn't leaking and I had like a small pooled up condensation on the connection part of the mod. From my understanding the Dryplug is suppose to absorb it which evidently it's not. Maybe I was expecting much from it? I dunno.

My sspp dryplug is on the way, I’ll let you know. To be honest i don’t get much condensation at all. What build are you vaping and do you clear all the vapor out after each puff?

Well I thought getting the dryplug I wouldn't have to do that anymore. my coil is a 1.04 kanthal made on a 2.5 rod and I vape about 17 watts. If I have to clear the vapor out then what is the point of the plug? I don't see a reason then, would have been cheaper and just used some cotton :) lol

I got a mtl plug to restrict air so it doesn’t matter to me if it absorbs but 17 watts seems high. I have the exact same build as you and I don’t go above 14 watts :eek:

Well I have the DL plug. It shouldn't really matter what the watts are. . I did try lowering the watts a bit and still get the condensation. I don't have a clue.

Just a thought. I rund the exocet and had condensation. Then i changed the way of the wicking and now all is gone.

Well with the vapeshell I wicked like they say to do. Tomorrow when I empty out my other borro I will see how else I can wick it. Maybe I need more cotton or maybe less. I will hopefully figure it out. I hate condensation so much. I never get it with my regular tanks. But maybe it's a learning curve for the vapeshell. Something else to frustrate me :)
