my friend winded up having a crappy clone, I traded him a dripper atty for it, mainly for the clear tank and so I can try out the bvc's on my billet box. with the mods I did to my billet box to fit the kayfun tank setup I can still use any other stock type tank setups with a little brass spacer on the now recessed positive, so I've tried out the bvc's and honestly there pretty damn good. I've tried them side by side back and forth with the kayfun adjusted to match airflow and at the same 14 watts and the bvc's really aren't so far off from the kayfun. the kayfun does give a little better flavor, it adds a creamy kinda rounded off smoothness that the bvc doesn't quite have, but for what it is it vapes really well, better than any other carto or disposable atty I've ever tried. honestly it's pretty impressive to me how good they are. maybe the nautilus tank really is a good way for a new vapor to go, these things really perform well.

I gutted the rest of the clone, no intentions of even trying it. I'm going to peel the carbon fiber off and chop it up to test my idea of fitting an 18650 into it. if I can get it to fit well with the dna and the 18650 then I think I'm going to buy one more original BB, probably that burnt orange one, and mod it to a dna40 with another kayfun mini and an 18650 battery. that would be one sweet billet box if it works :) at first I didn't think there'd be enough room for the 18650 and the dna but after playing with the gutted clone I think it could work like this. after I'm done chopping the clone up I'll probably trash it or turn it into a bottom feeder or something but I won't ever use it as a billet box

You could also switch one of the batteries in the stock configuration and run them in parallel instead of series if you didn't want to mod the box.
OOPS, Sorry. I see you already did that on the other one. Never Mind. :blush::facepalm:
You sure do nice work though. I wished I had your talents.
Beautiful Billet Box. Now you got me thinking about buying a clone to mod.

LOL Kat nice wrap job.

This wrapping gets a bit addictive. One of the aussie members works for a company that sells the vinyls and I mentioned I wanted to play with wood grain finishes. Always wanted a wood box mod but never quite found one I liked. Anyhoo practiced on a MVP and next will be one of my bb. Not sure which finish but I like the dark grey. Any votes :)

anyone considering picking up a clone for the clear tank just a warning about that, the clear tank did not fit my BB when I got it, it's slightly too wide and took quite a bit of sanding the 2 sides down to get it to fit. actually this clone really is junk when you compare it to the real thing, it may be good enough to test out your modding abilities but still I'd rather have a real one if you're going to go through all the work to customize it anyway. if you're not sure of your abilities and just want a test unit then the clone is good for that I suppose, but in a way I hate to see any dollars going to the clone manufacturers at all

I'm finding this difficult to believe ;-)

Krisma: LOVE the dark gray.

Krismah, I also like the dark gray, and my ultimate vote goes to..........



Surprised? Yeah, thought so. ;)

That's the problem with having too many choices. :) I also have a bright gold carbon fibre that looks really smick but can't find a driptip setup that looks good with it. I will have to go shopping............
