Happy happy new year bb and company!..
Divers are pressure sensitive.... As I have found.. best to try and fill the tank... upside down ensuring the hole stays free of juice.. not saying this is the only problem but it may help.

So basically I should be regretting my purchase of a V2 Diver that I haven't even received yet. Doh!

I've been hanging out in the diver thread. They are a little bit fiddle from everything I can gather. Once people get them right they swear by them in whatever device they are using. I just received 2 flangeless V2's and set one up in my BB and it worked great for about an hour and it's been nothing but dry hits since then. I'm going to keep playing with it because if it works as advertised, it'll be better than any carto

Its not too difficult. Mine works fantastically. Just be careful when you insert that center pin--you can shatter the ceramic cup or split the post in half. Its a tight fit with the wire in there.
Mine works fine when I refill, but it does the same thing when the juice gets to about wick level - a little juice escapes. I open up, clean up the juice, close up, and then it works fine until empty. I suspect there is a certain point when the pressure in the tank is just so, that a little juice comes flooding out. I've been too busy to try to figure it out, hopefully I'll have some time next week.
Interestingly, there isn't just juice around the tank, juice also comes up into the well of the brass nut. So somehow, for a brief point, something happens to produce a lot of pressure down on the juice, pushing a bunch into the Diver, which then comes out of the Diver any way it can. It's as if a vacuum is forming above the juice in the tank, and at some point that vacuum exceeds a certain force and escapes out the tank, with the inrushing air creating a sudden massive pressure. Once that stabilizes, it works fine again.
This does not happen to my Diver v2 in the Scuba, only in the BB.
And I do not have the heat issues you are experiencing in either one. I'm running a 2.7 ohm coil at max voltage, 5.5v.

Derp is right, that blows :/
As for the Diver, I built a microcoil in there and used some hemp cotton that Big Screen D generously sent me (thanks dude).
So far, It hasn't really leaked or anything. It doesn't taste amazing, but it works nicely so far. I tried to use ekowool with no luck either and I can't seem to find my damn silica anywhere in my drawer. I really just want this thing to hold a coil that'll last me a month honestly. 2 days with the hemp wick, I'll update in February.

B Boxers..... tell me something...
Am I the ONLY one who uses cartomizers in the Billet Box CARTO tank?

My partner and I only use SR slotted cartos in out tanks. I vape Maha Ras and Mellow Melange. She vapes Maha Ras and KBV Skipping Stone.
All is good!

Nopers. Pretty sure I'll be selling off the V2 diver within a week of getting it. I've yet to find a rebuildable anything that gives me a vape that I can enjoy. And believe me, I've tried TONS of different rebuildables, with no luck.
Hey my fellow BBers, sorry I haven't been around, been super busy with my new shop. But wanted to share the steampunking of my BB with you. I think it looks awesome.
Good to know, klee. Perhaps we can start a little sub-group here... people who actually use cartomizers (in their carto tank!
)?Anyone else wish to step up? Come on, admit it.

I hear ya on THAT, drew-ba! I often think that it will all eventually come full circle, and RBAs will become the retro attIEs.
Brutus that looks wonderful!!!! Glad to see you back here.

I utterly hate cartos. They always taste burnt and metallic to me. I wish this wasn't the case - I'd love to not have to do so much work to get the experience I want.
I love the v1 Diver, even with its issues. There's some juices that really shine in it, as well as the v2. I only purchased a BB now because I knew the v2 was coming.
I use the v2 in a Phiniac and a Scuba tank with no issues. And it vapes flawlessly through 2/3rds of the BB tank, does its little hissy fit, and then vapes flawlessly to empty.
I'm going to try a couple of things to see if the air pressure in the tank can be re-adjusted so as to avoid this. First up, I'll vape through a tank with the occasional gentle blow into the drip tip to force the pressure to adjsut to the pressure outside the tank. The other idea is, about half-way through the tank, use the filling syringe to briefly open the fill valve, so as to let internal air pressure normalize with the pressure outside of the tank.

Let's take the Diver v2 conversation to the Diver thread, we're doing this across two threads again, it is making my head spin!
I still use cartos Katdarling! I have tried rebuildables in mine but just can't seem to get a consistent good vape I do with cartos. I have wanted to though, I keep seeing folks saying how much better they are and I was persistent. The closest I got was one Drunkj graciously passed over to me and I still use it but not in my BB, just too much trouble trying to get it in and out to fiddle with it when need be, and I am sure I am not doing something right though....but overall It has been hard for me to beat a properly soaked boge SR slotted carto.

Cartos for me too, KD. Similar to yours, I believe, and EXACTLY what our-friend-with-many-kids uses. SR Slotted (do these things EVER die out???). But I'm just a (BB/still-on-probation) newb, so, the future remains unknown.
Lovin' the slots though!
I've just ordered a load of cartos. I give up with the diver, it's a fussy piece of crap
I had a wife like that once. Same result.
I'm joking. We're still friends (just in case she ever reads this).
