Billet Box Appreciation Thread

[R3alJim Shady]

The cost is (was) the main appeal

I only toss in simple 28g 2.5mm N80 coils, more than enough clearance for this guy.

I could probably file down the posts, like round the outer corners and tops down a smidge for clearance… but the cap etc went on flawlessly and no issues.

The major downer is the screws… I’ll have to take the ones out and use the slotted ones and maybe that is all it takes for me to like it

It doesn’t vape worse than the others I use, nor vape better, but the QoL of installing a coil is much lower than the others I use.

Once I have to rewick… I’ll give it another go, which is generally every 30ml of liquid.

Only 9ml in this far

I did some dualies in mine last build. Ni80 38/32 fused claptons, 2mm ID. Came out to .57 ohms. I like my bigger single coil better.

So I may enjoy the Qbixx more than the Snail… to early to tell as I haven’t vaped it enough yet for a definitive answer. I will say it is damn good though.

Thought I would ask, if anybody has any Xeta's (auth or sxk) they want to sell/trade, let me know.

Ok, so I recoiled it, removed the grubs and installed the slotted micro screws... way better.

put in a simple 27g 2.5mm something something wrap coil in, came out to .76Ω vaping well... cut the leads slightly longer this time, to raise it just a smidge... tiny perceivable increase in flavor.

It might just replace the Exo2... for there is a trade off to be made.

1st.. I ran 5 boros fills and the coil was less gunk'ish, which is a plus... on the Exo2 I was rewicking every 7th tank max... I really think this might be able to go to 8-9+ tanks

2nd. Drier ... the Exo2 and how its air flow pin is, allows a tiny bit of seepage, Kerch, no such issue.

Everything else is a push (Minus the Kerch Screws) ... so its a plus 1 for the Kerch

But yeah, those slotted are much better by a MILE! lol

It's hard for me to get excited about Mission XV stuff anymore. Same with Wick'd. Too much hype, too much money, not enough product to go around, and just too much damn energy to get.
Don't get me wrong. It looks great and I wouldn't turn it down if it fell into my lap or anything. Just over trying to hunt shit down.

You do know that everything is customizable with the mod ? The whole frame etc ! Your buying the internals and a file to have any body made . Also this will probably not be mission limited and will be available to just about anyone with in the group .

Just do the tip and get a button somewhere else? I know they are pricy, but I have to say his intergrated V2 tips are hands down my fav's.

They do look good,I want the button to match though haha.Any other color wasn't priced too bad,but the black is cerakoted so it's more than the others.I may have to learn how to cerakote myself,then just grab a couple JMK sets and coat them myself haha.

Hmm, I have quite a few colors of his dt's, Don't remember the black being more. Sure not saying it wasn't, just don't remember. Or maybe he changed the price?

Not sure,as I never really looked at them before, the standard colors for tip + button is like $45,but the black is like $62 plus I think it was $10 or so for shipping.Not a terrible price,I'm just a cheap ass haha.

So tomorrow is the BMM open batch for what Charles calls the “OG” group.

He listed it being < 2019 and I saw a lot of people trying to slip through on his post.

Few examples:

X1- Charles responds 2020

Another, let’s call him Joe Blow : June 2019

Does that remotely mean < 2019? I mean do people really think December 31st 2019 and < 2019 mean the same thing? Or am I the only person that reads that as Less than and or before 2019

Anyway… I’ll drop my name in the list since I’ve been in the group since mid 2017

Get another Stash hopefully in “Ribs” with Peak button/tip combo

Not that I “Need” it… I truly don’t need anymore Boro devices… but once the Brig’d2 comes in… I’m going to be a device short.

Any of you Kerch users notice an insane amount of build up in the pyramid? Maybe it’s the Red Pill… but every rewick there is what I would characterize as sediment clinging to the insides that is never present in any other RBA/RTA I’ve used Red Pill in

Funny, I was in it back in 2017 so I thought about throwing my hat in but thought better of it since I was absent for a a couple years or so. Had a Punk mech squonker back then

I’ll have to look at my Kerch later on. I haven’t noticed any build up, but I haven’t been looking for it either.

So, I have a dna 60 skillet that has decided to turn itself down to 5.9 watts. Always when it's resting, and never anything but 5.9. I can turn it back up, vape for a bit, leave it sit, and back down it goes. I have taken the back plate and clickies off, checked everything out. No juice/moisture, nothing seems wrong or sticking. Tried it with multiple plates and clickies, same results. Any ideas at all?

 

[inganeer]

I've seen where the up/down board gets a bad switch and causes that.

Have you tried locking the watts where you want it?Not sure if that would solve it or not,but maybe worth a try.

I think they call it a screen lock.Hold both up and down buttons at the same time,after a couple seconds it locks it where you can't change the wattage unless you hold both buttons again to unlock it.

I don’t mind a proprietary chip so long as it performs. I’ll be waiting to see if this one does. If it does and they make another version in white delrin or G10 I’m getting one hands down.

[~Don~]

I don't mind if the chipset only does watts, even if its off 1-3w, what irks me the most about regulated/mosfet mods, is the button failures... what had me stay away from Dovpo and much of all regulated Boro devices for so long.

So if this cheapo has a solid button that can last 500k button presses, to me it would be a 2 year device before the button fails.

I base this calculation solely on me having nearly 45k puffs on my Stash that I got July 23rd LOL

 

[R3alJim Shady]

Speaking of proprietary chipsets… leather case for my Boxx arrived today from Indonesia. Not the best quality but he threw in a second brown one for no charge bc he took a couple weeks longer to ship than he said. Not bad. Better then shelling out the money to have it painted.

Finding it difficult to find a storage bag for my MTB

I mean there is one, but it costs $90 and made perfectly for my bike, made by the same company as my bike to boot.

But it’s larger than I need.

I need it to be 3” x 7 or 8” x 2.5” with side zipper.

The joys of a much more expensive hobby than vaping

Side note… the boss has a nice deal on an older BB in the classifieds

Fuck I’ll probably break down and buy the Ibis pork chop bag…

That’s a fantastic deal on the BB package. I’d consider buying it just for the extras and unloading the BB on its own haha!

Just curious, why do you need the bag to be that size? Storage space?

Yeah within the front triangle the space for a storage solution is limited.

I’ve found a couple options all much cheaper than the factory one.
