I have been tempted to buy the clone, just so I can get the clear faced tank, and that top use adapter thingy that comes with it. :glare:

KAS

Kas I was the same and when a friend who owned the clone lent me the adapter to put my Bella/elegance tank. I played with it for a day and the reality was my tanks looked and felt weird sitting on top. I use glass tubes and it felt top heavy and unstable. My tanks caps are acrylic and personally can't see anything heavier working. You can get the same result with the screw from the byleo kit and a madvapes extender where you screw your tank/carto into the extender. I gave back the adapter and just put my tanks on something else that was designed to hold them. :)

The clear tank in the clone set is poly and will crack with a lot of eliquids. My menthols would not work in it.

Yeah I guess I just want to try one of my Kayfuns on the BB, I kind of think of it as a novelty than something really useful, I really just want the tank. I think that one of these though, I would not mind trying to cram a dna board in it just for the heck of it.

I can understand the clear tank, tho I really find the delrins preferable, but I don't think I now understand putting an adapter on it. Doesn't that defeat the beauty of the design of the B Box??

Thanks Krisma. I knew you'd be the voice of authority on this! Well done, Aussie bud.

I have the clone bb rev 2.1. I do not own a real bb. I bought the clone to see if it would be something I liked. It is fairly accurate on the voltage dial. Not spot on but close. The door sucks. It's hard to open most of the time and is really gritty sliding into place. The 510 adapter is cool and does work pretty good. The tank on the other hand I have had problems with. It seems like the holes for the carto are a bit big and the o-rings don't seal very well. I have been using the billet bridge with the bvc's and I love the vape. Good flavor and good clouds. Where the tank grabs the bottom of the billet bridge is real loose and it leaks......bad. I've lost about a half a tank of juice over night a couple of times. It's a mess to clean up and upset me enough today I went and bought a rDNA to use with a nautilus today.
I love the function of the billet box and the billet bridge. I WILL be buying the real deal when more vape money becomes available.

I did have a bit of a laugh when he showed it to me. He was so pleased then he had a look and feel of mine (BB that is :) ) he is now stalking the classies on the aussie forum for one. You need to know people to buy them and its a bit tricky to buy direct. :(

I bought the last two locally with the thought I would pass one to him. Couldn't do it so I kept them both. You have to work at getting one to appreciate them.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha

::: peeks around the corner and giggles at Kat :::

Good eve everyone! Been giving cartos a whirl (with the help of an incredible Lady {{{hugs Kat}}}) and I'm hooked! The simplicity coupled with the flavor and vapor - I can see why so many vapers use cartos or at least have some stashed away to come back home to like the comfort of a nice fuzzy pair of slippers.

I've been giving the Billet Box some serious thought. If I were to take that leap and dive on in to the purchase of a BB - what accessories would you recommend?

I know of the Diver (v1 v2), Sophia, Billet Bridge - I can rebuild (been doing drippers on a Reo for a while now) and I have been enjoying the BVC coils in my Aspire Nautilus tank since yesterday along with a Mega Carto (given to me by a shop owner that cant seem to get rid of them in this city where the next exciting Copper Tube and Clone is all the rage).

What would be the must_haves on my shopping list? Off the top of my head (though only 5ft off the floor) I can see myself needing (wanting?) a Billet Bridge. Other than that - what would be the reasons for owning a Sophia/Diver?

Does the BB only take Boge cartos?

I'm quite sure this isn't the first of these post however - running on 4 hours sleep with far too much caffeine tonight - I beg you all have mercy and help a tired girl out! :)

Hi MsLoud. I am a carto gal from the start of my vaping but the aspire BVC are a game changer. I would definitely get the bridge for them.

I had Sophia's for my tanks before I got the BB and really they are all about your individual choice of wicking and coil build. Same with the diver although I couldn't get the diver working properly. If you like the BVC from aspire they are all you need. On the cartos I pretty much always use Boge cartos because they are reliable for me so I can't answer for other brands.

That was my thought. I have Box mods that work extremely well with tanks sitting on top and the one thing I love about the BBox is the design of putting everything inside.

I've been using a 510 Fusion I slotted on both sides and it is great. Not 1 dry puff on 2 tankfuls so far.:2c: (Sorry about misspelling. vision problems)

*giggling back atcha!* Hi MsLoud, and welcome to the home of the B Box! What color are you getting? Saturday's stalking day and we'll be cheering you on!

As far as accessories go, my shout outs go to the B Bridge with Aspire BVCs. I would also try using Ikenvape kartos, and Boges, too.
The B Box can take any standard size (35mm) karto. The best, in my opinion, are the slotted. If you have punched ones, you can also add a punch, or enlarge the existing one(s).

Best o' luck to ya! :)

Yep yep yep. Keep yer tanks for other devices. The B Box is perfectly designed as it is! 5c, think I could slot a Fusion with my letter opener? :blink:

Yeah, ok, stop laughing at me. :D

I told you I would slot one for you darlingKat. (gotta use your right name here) Just give me the word. I really like them better than any carto I've used in it and I used some that aren't even made any more.

I wish I.understood the love affairs with the clear tanks, KAS. I did cartwheels when the delrins came out, and never looked back.

I am kidding about the clone, I wont get one. I need the clear tank for using the sophia, in the BB. You really need to be able to see the inside of the tank, to see where your juice flow control is set at. Once I get the new kit, I am gong to have to play with it for a while, and just see what the difference's are from not using the kit. I currently pre-set my control, before putting the tank in, I will just have to adjust the control, with trial and error, until I can get a clear tank.

Hmmmm... or mark a notch somewhere on the drip-tip so you can tell how many part/full turns you do?
