I was looking at those, but $26.00? I would have to think twice about it at half the price. I can understand not wanting to use a coin to get the piece out, but $26.00?
Its a drip tip also! And with pretty matching colours!! I was going to get one but Fawkes is SO and to UK it would cost nearly $50 all in lol!

Funny thing with this BB. Just lobbed in exocet with a KF reducer instead of the doggy M2L and it is transformed. Is it as good as the tanks I have? No. But when I come in at the end of the day, which device do I grab? Yeah..the BB. It is just the perfect form factor and it is a great vape. I was sceptical about it but now I have one, I really get it!! It wont ever replace my RTAds but I still want another one...

It is too airy for me, I see no real way to tighten it up.
Did you try the tape trick? Tape up one or two air hole on the inside of the BB. You can test it by blocking them with your finger on the outside while you vape. To see if it helps.

Yeah, I put the tape over all three slots. With that, I could maybe feel a hint of resistance. In the next couple of days I have the Comfort bridge, and the Racing bridge arriving. I have a feeling that the Racing bridge with a Kanger mini deck will give me what I'm looking for.

Closing down the airflow from the outside, putting tape on the slots of BB or turning down AFC on a regular RTA, is not the same as restricting the airflow from the inside, like using a KFV5 MTL pin of other reducer. I can't explain it but is has something to do with the velocity/the way the air hits the coil. Even if the draw feels the same, the vape sure isn't. This goes for the Exocet with KFV5 MTL pin and every other RTA I've tried this with.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The exocet was unusable for me before KFV5 pin. Now it is in my top rotation.

Ok, got this baby fired up. Built a 2.0Ω coil with 30 gage K, 3.0mm ID. I managed to get my air flow a little too tight. I'll take it apart tomorrow and open it up a bit. I had a KFL reducer pin about 1.2mm I put in there, I just got the AF on the exocet shut down too much, Should be just a minor adjustment to get it where I want it. But hot diggity, it works. :)
On mine, the 30mm coil just barely fits between the post screw heads. I would have gone with a 2.5mm dia, but was afraid I wouldn't have enough wicking to fill the holes on each side. As long as that coil don't twitch, it'll be ok.

Don't be scared...the Exocet likes tight wicking!

I wick mine a little tighter than I would a Kayfun, or Calix...and I leave my wick tails sticking outside the body...meaning they are protruding into the tank and juice!

Wicks perfectly!

I found a vape tool on 3fvape, I'm sure fasttech must have one too, that has 2.25mm and 2.75mm coil rods...along with the normal sizes like 2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm. 2.75mm is perfect for the Exocet. Gives just a little more room between post while still enough wicking to fill holes. Since buying this tool I've been using the 2.75mm where I normally would use 2.5mm and 2.25mm where I would normally use 2mm.

AHH, air flow is now dialed in to suit me. This Exocet is a good one. The next, and only other thing I want to do to it, is file down the post screw head dia. a little to give a little more room for the 3.0mm coil, then it'll be perfect.
