I've been disassembling and cleaning the Rev3 boxes and reading through the old BBV thread. I came accross a problem some had where the ball that locks the cover would not roll freely. A few of the boxes had that same problem and I was able to repair them. Now all of my balls roll.

Yeah still out here wild wild west. Waiting to get a titanium disc spacer attached to my spine. But I need to heal up first from the foot surgery.
Things back East going well, I know you had a heck of a weather spell as my family back there had some issues with power outages from the snow.

Oh, MAN - sorry to hear that!!! :(

Yeah - we're good here (thank you!). We're used to winter. Texas gave us a scare though - crazy!!! :\

Friend of mine in TX lost everything in their apartment when pipes burst and flooded the whole place. They are now trying to reset themselves in a new place till they can afford to move and possibly purchase their own house.

Bruising has gotten worse since this pic last week. Looks like I stepped in a barrel of smurfs.

Is anyone still vaping their Rev3 Billet Box? If you are what are you using in it?

I’ve heard the Mission KRMA works well in a Rev.3.....but that’s if you can find one.

The Sophia’s work great, again if you can find them.

Most Rev.3 atties were MTL.

The Exocet v1 fits, but it’s a really wide open device. The Kayfun v5 airflow reducers fit inside that, but they’re not super restrictive.

I tried many re-buildable's for the Rev 3's, and I always went back to using one of Atmistique's Billet Bridge's, I think it was called a classic, it was their first one. It use's a Aspire BVC coil. There were always problems with everyone I tried, except for that one. :|

It's just curiousity on my part. Just wondering if people are still using them and how. It'd be shame if they were all packed away in boxes somewhere.

I have multiple Sofia's from my by Leo bOd Mecha and Cage days. I even have the zapper for making the coils and a stash of ceramic cups and wire. I don't really feel like the hassle when a BVC coil works as well.

I certainly remember playing with the Sofia, although not in the Billet Box at the time. I am very suprised by the BVC coils. And they are so very easy to use.

I tried the Sophia, I remember it being a PIA, to open and close the juice control, sometimes it would work, then the next time it wouldn't. When you had it set right, it was good, just not worth the hassle. :|

That's pretty much exactly how I remember it. They even came out with special silicone o-rings for the upper so that it was easier to twist and adjust the juice flow. When it worked right it was better than a cartomizer, but it was hard to get it right all the time. I couldn't imagine trying to get it right in a Billet Box.

They worked good for me in the tanks I had, (I think they were Loki Tanks) I fiddled with them for about 2 months trying to get them to work in the BB, they just kept getting stuck. I have not used my Sophia's in a long time, 5 years? I also have a zapper and lots of spare parts for them. I never really got very good with the Zapper, and had the joints break. Sometime after that I got Kayfuns, and never looked back. :|

The Kayfun was a game changer. I still have multiple of the original Kayfun lite. I also had problems getting the zapper right. One had to get a feel for it. It worked better for me to make batches.

Ok I had to peak. I bought my first Kayfun Lite Plus from Cloud9Vaping.com for 66.95 pounds on 2/14/2014. So the Sofia was being set aside 7 years ago. ;)

Was wondering if any of you guys had some tips for the Exocet V2? How high do you place the coil? The wicking is good but the flavor is off. I’m using a small fused Clapton 2.5mm coil. Any help is appreciated.

I’m only putting my coils about 1-2mm about the airflow...basically as high as I put them in the Exocet v1.

I am using twisted wire coils.

2 wires of 28g Kanthal
2.8mm ID coil
5/6 wraps
0.5~ ohms
Fired at 25 watts

I agree with @HBcorpse about the position. It's exactly where I have mine set. If anything it's closer to 1 mm above the airflow. I'm using a 0.45Ω SS316L 28x2/40 fused Clapton that is 3mm. I use this same coil in Temp Control mode in most the attys I use in the Billet Box. The Exocet v2 is a top flavor producer for me with this setup.
