The Birth Of The All In One Vaping System: The Billet Box
The concept of the All in One or combination vape mod had been around since the beginning of the building adventures began, but it took the ingenuity and innovations of many avenues in vaping before it became a reality. We wanted a low profile box mod, meaning that the only thing visible from the outside was a drip tip, it needed variable voltage and must carry a decent amount of e-liquid on board. The Billet Box filled all of these requirements and then some, condensing the vaping experience to a simple inconspicuous box.

The Billet box name was derived from the fact that it was CNC-machined from a solid billet of 6061 t6 aluminum. Painstaking attention to detail kept the Billet Box in research, development and testing for a year, but when it was released, one man’s dream became everyone’s reality. Looking for the indestructible mod was not a new idea, people who work in dirty or dangerous areas can attest that a mod falling off a table can be a pain in the backside as can changing the batteries throughout the day or having to fill your coils with e-liquid when your hands are caked in mud or sawdust. The Billet Box had taken all of those things into consideration.
The dual battery set-up gave users the ability to vape at a high or low voltage and customize their vaping experience using the onboard potentiometer. Amazing battery life combined with the 6.5ml internal cartomizer tank could keep the door closed for hours. Even when it came to refilling the tank, the user only had to remove the door and inject e-liquid through the spring-loaded nitrile ball valve at the top of the tank. Changing the cartomizer out was a little bit trickier, but this device did not require the cartomizer to be screwed into a connector as it sat in place and was held down by a brass fitting at the top of the box.
Designed with stealth in mind, the airflow control was as simple as 3 holes drilled into the side of the box, the user could cover them up to secretly vape where they weren’t supposed to, and the look of the Billet really didn’t give away its true purpose to the uninformed. Speaking of appearance, the body of the box was sleek, the Aluminum was highly polished and inlaid with carbon fiber plates, just to give it the perfect finishing touch. When you opened the face plate, the Billet gave the look and feel of an old school guitar amp, the name emblazoned into the plate that held the potentiometer and the tank looking like a valve from ancient technology.
The only downside to this vape mod was the fact that you could only use 2 3.7 volt 16340 batteries, due to the constraints of this precision box. The design was so specific that you could not change to larger batteries even if you had wanted to.
If these designs were never brought to the market, we would be living in a very different vaping world right now. We sit and wonder what the next innovation in the industry will be, but in reality, we have already seen such amazing leaps in technology that it is hard to imagine which direction the market will head in next. If it weren’t for these designs, we would never have discovered high-powered vaping. We have brought forward temperature control, using different types of wire to get the effects we are looking for. My only hope is that somewhere, a modder is tinkering in their garage working on the next big thing.
As always, enjoy your vaporizer and vape safe!
