Don't worry about it guys I am done fiddling with it for now, when I saw how large the juice holes were when I got it, I kind of knew what was going to happen. In my opinion, any design that tries to get MTL & DL in one atty, is going to fail with MTL. I was originally interested in the doggy, until the finished pics came out, and showed how large the juice holes were, I didn't even try it. It is all good, I have always wanted a good and easy MTL RBA for the BB, and I will try some of them as they come along as money allows. I am happy with my Classic Billet Bridge, and aspire BVC coils. :)

While waiting for the vapeshell and Exocet clone I managed to get the Sophia v2 in here. The 510 sits a little high and the juice control is almost closed but it’s working lol I don’t think it’s gonna be an ongoing thing. Just thought I’d share with people. If only it was a few mms shorter.

Maybe I can shave down the top of Sophia to allow the juice control to open more and sit flush :eek: who am I kidding I haven’t the tools required lol maybe a friend might. Could be interesting

I think ByLeo has different size upper tubes...you could always drift on over to their thread and ask for @Billie-cig...

Good idea

He used to have a kit with a special top nut to use with the Sophia, that would allow you to adjust the juice flow control, I don't know if he still has them or not. I quit trying to use the Sophia a long time ago, juice control kept getting stuck, and I got tired of fiddling with it. :oops:

I’m waiting on this vapeshell and Exocet clone to come in. I haven’t perfected the insider mtl yet. The flavor has been muted so far compared to my rdas. Could be wicking problems I haven’t figured out yet or maybe just cause all I’ve tried is the insider. I have to be honest if I can’t get good flavor off the vapeshell or Exocet this billet box is going up for sale; cause this guy needs his flavor and I can’t be bothered buying premade coils again.

I do love this billet box though don’t get me wrong! I just hope it’s just my inexperience at this moment.

You will 100% find something that will work “for you” with the Billet Box.

It’s a bit difficult to find the “perfect thing” since there are such unique atomizers for the BB.

With a 510 atomizer, you’re not having to worry about switching out the mod, since the tank sits on top of the mod, and there are so many dang options out there!

With the BB, you may only find 1-2, maybe 3 atomizers that fit YOUR specific needs.

I chime in after reading all the comments, I have the Vapeshell - and must say it's the best atomizer I have ever had. Now I say this as an open MTL vaper without thinking about the Billet, which form-factor and all is something special. I'm very picky on flavor and quality of construction, (Kayfun Miniv3 and Speed Revolution Mini flavor is my reference) I vape dry tobacco and also simple fruits - using usually classic round wire k1 1ohm - 29-28 gauge 2-2.5mm 6 wrap. When I got it after having the Exocet (clone that did not even screw on mod for build) - it blew me away. Easy to build and good price, MTL kit reducers and easy to use - you feel you got your money worth. I use 1.2 and 1.5mm air reducers.
If using a 2mm coil just use cotton bacon v2, a little more than usually, fluff and gently place short wicks in deck. It leaked on me the first time, when closing the boro glass, then after using more cotton it never leaked. If you want more heat , speed and flavor do a 27-26 gauge 2mm 5 wrap. A damp-less mtl airflow reducer under the boro tank also help, or one o-ring over the pin/cotton stuff to get good afc balance.

Trying the vapeshell today. I must admit I think the insider just needed more time to learn the wicking. After trying many builds and wicks it was starting to get good flavor but I had to try this vapeshell. Build and wick was way easier than the insider. Will update you all soon.

Glad to hear your enjoying it.

I actually just took mine out in favor of the uno 2.0
Granted this is just my first build in the uno, I don't think I'm going back to the vapeshell anytime soon.

Also, I scored some kirinite panels last week as well. Very happy about that.
Loving the vapeshell; I may need another down the line :oops: maybe I should get another bb first :D
