A quick question, how can I avoid any flooding/gurgling issues with my Billet Box? I'm using a sabot DDD and I love the taste,but no matter what I do or how I wick I seem to get this issue. Any helpful hints to avoid this? I recall it being worse in hotter weather. It seems to occur about 1/2 to 1/3 from an empty tank.

I'm afraid I can't help much with the Sabot. I had early issues and went in another direction (Billet Bridge). Even with that though, I find "issues" when the tank is less than half full. I simply keep mine juiced up and things seem to work fine.

BigScreenD explained the physics behind the vacuum effect when the tanks get low. It made sense to me so, other than when (rarely) using a carto, I now keep it half-or-more. I don't know if this helps, but I hope it's worth at least something.

Should also apply to sabot but In tanks flooding and gurgling are all about loss of air pressure. I take shallow vapes which can also have the effect of over priming coil. First thing would be to check your orings and make sure you have a proper seal. Also try to ease back on your vaping. By that I mean put your drip tip in the corner of your mouth and take more air with each vape. It could be you are sucking the drip tip to hard and drawing Eliquid faster than the coil can keep up. Lastly I would try a different drip tip. (Just to change up the way you vape it.

Does anyone else get creeped out when a BB goes up in the classies now?
Made up my mind a few weeks ago to finally take the plunge and buy a BB but waiting on my color to jump out! Hooked hubby too onto the idea :)

Not anymore, but there was a day when some of us went Flipper Hunting. Now I wouldn't even bother on the classies (with clones out there). Simply wait until DD posts what you want (every Saturday, like clockwork), then JUMP. Saturday stalking is somewhat of a tradition. Welcome to the stalkers club, MissyLoud. :)

And good luck. Just out of curiosity, which is YOUR color? We all have our preferences and it's nice to know other's too.

Bright blue (on the master plan)

The purple one may be calling my name - then again I love the lighter blue too! and if that was the blue one they had up this past week I may be holding it now!) - hubby digs the green one :D

There is something so classically elegant about the RPG (aubergine). Frill it up for fun, dress it up for classic, goes with gold and silver and compliments every handbag (except the red one) I own. :)

My sentiments exactly.

Or, well, you know what I mean. :blink:

And I like it too.

Well I guess there is no e-mail kind of customer service at billet box vapor, they said I have to call them. and the message they sent me was a noreply e-mail, I have to make a long distance phone call, just to find out if it needs to go in for repair, I don't have the cash right now for that. I am not happy!:mad:

I'm really not trying to give you a hard time, I was just not aware that anyone paid for long distance anymore. What phone service do you have?
