Does anyone make a user friendly rba compatible with the Billet Box? I'm looking for something with the screw and post configuration versus the ceramic cup type.

I saw this that looks close to what I had in mind. I think it's a tad to girthy for the tank though.

'Girthy" - I like that word.

I am not fat, I am just too short!

Most any stock sized drip tip will work fine. Some delrin tips *are* cheap. Others are well made - just like metal ones - same idea. Greek-made are sweet, but postage to the US is a bit painful.

Good to know. Thanks for the answer. I had my eye on a sweet one, but didn't want to put out the coin if it wasn't gonna fit.

Ah, the Pharaon is too big, I think. The tank was designed to take a 35mm cartomiser, so anything else has to keep to those dimensions. Google for Katdarling's blog posts about maintenance etc of the Billet Box - really useful practical info. At the moment I believe your options are limited to a Diver v2 from Atmistique (the 35mm, Enzelis, flangeless version - can get from makers in Greece, or online from place in Canada, I read), with ceramic cup; or a Billet Bridge from same source, which takes Aspire BDC heads. There's also a co-op in USA which has made its own atty, a Sabot. Earlier modifications like the Killer and Diver v1 were not so successful. All the info is in this thread - it's a big read, but lotta lotta good stuff!!!

Thanks Rab. I'm trying to get the hang of the diver v2 right now. Trying being the key word. I love the ease of use of the post and screw Rbas I have for my Reos right now. I'll just wait until to someone makes one or try to fashion one myself.

So far, I like the Sabot best of all the non carto options. I've been using it for about a week, and it rocks. If you don't like good ol' cartos, get your hands on one of them. The Diver v2 is great, but I think it's a bit fiddly, and I will probably sell or trade mine, because the Sabot DDD is so much easier for me to use.
Still love my cartos, though.

I want to vape (instead of smoke). It's not a hobby, like tying flies or the like. I want ease of use, every time. The Billet Box does that with cartos (if I charge cartos at least daily), with the Billet Bridge (if I get a good head), and (so far) the Sabot-DDD is the best add-on to the Billet Box I have found (waiting to see how long stock heads last, and, if, the stock heads are hit and miss like the B-Bridge Aspire heads are) - if *any* better - the AFC makes the Sabot-DDD the clear winner in my book.

Am hoping someone will either run a no-limit co-op, and/or start producing the Sabot-DDD so I can buy a few spares.

Thank you, Rab D, but it's Vapian's work, and a fabulous opus at that. I just blogged it. :blush:

And Kataphraktos has led many to the Diver thread. (So sorry, but I don't have a link to that one. Kata?)

If the Sabot-DDD continues as it has, I may try to sell the (literally) hundreds of cartos I have - as of right now, I see no reason to even have a carto as a backup.

Got any IKVs that might appear in the Classies, Peter? Yum Yum.
