Can any owners of billet box chime in on custom buttons?

I am looking to buy some from JMKtips.com but I want to know if sunk / flat or / domed is your preference both in feeling and aesthetic?

I cant freaking make up my mind between flat and sunk. Does anyone with a sunk button think its better than a flat button?

Domed all the way... the sunken buttons are a pain and the flat buttons are ok but the domed ones are just perfect!

I put this coil in one of my Rev3's on Thursday night, it looks like this is my first success at
re-wicking a BVC coil. No leaks no gurgles, the taste is slightly different, but that might just be the cotton, I used KGD cotton. If I can do this again I will be :).

I got 6 days out of that coil, I usually go about a week and a half, with my gunking juice. I think I packed the cotton to tight, I am going to try again and see if it works better. :)

Keep in mind that changing the button voids the warranty. Plenty of people do it without issue, just wanted to make sure you were aware.

Do you have a favorite BB configuration?

I've only tried a Comfort, Racing and Exocet bridge. It's still early in my BB experience but just strictly from a MTL vape point of view ... I'm enjoying the Racing bridge with Kanger RBA head.

On the Racing and Exocet, I've used 29AWG Kanthal, 7.5 turns on 3mm and it comes out to right around 1.7ohms that I'm running at 7.9-9.6W. The Comfort bridge houses a 1.8ohm nautilus coil.

I can't say about flavor because I only vape non-flavored 50/50 @ 12-18mg. The Racing set up just seems to have a little bit more volume and density vape for the same inhale effort and the same or similar BB and airflow settings. But there are so many variables, it remains to be seen if that is consistent as time goes along, I guess.

The thing is though, if I'd never tried but only one of those three ... pick one ... I'd have been happy with it. I'm lucky to have the opportunity to try three and be so picky.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a condensation plug that actually works?

I purchased a few from j-wraps which do help alittle but condensation is still building up all over my door panel. Is there any type of maybe rubber TPU type of plug ?

What condensation plugs is everyone using?

I have googled extensively and all i have found are the plastic kinds

My experience with Billet Box is limited to 2 weeks thus far. I battle condensation by continuing to inhale for a moment AFTER releasing the fire button. If I then see a bunch of vape "oozing" from the drip tip ... I didn't inhale long enough after releasing the fire button. ADDITIONALLY, there is always a little bit of cotton left over after I do a build and I loosely place a small amount of that cotton in the space beneath the juice box, to sponge as needed. So far so good. Very little to no standing condensation.

I made myself two from a silicone baking tray. Just traced around the Boro, and trimmed the height. Works well...

I use a little more than a small amount, I squeeze a good amount in there, tightens up the airflow and stops the condensation.

Cotton around the pin at the bottom of the Boro. More effective than a plug, as it actually absorbs the condensation.

Just heads up for the Flow users. Most of the time if you think you are stripping the screws it's there hex keys. Here is what I bought to minimize the issue. Found in Amazon for less than $8. Should have posted weeks ago but forgot

Sunken. Pocket friendly and comfortable.
