Project Paragon – Dry Plugs
Most of you have dealt with dry plugs before and some of us haven’t. I have not used any personally because I skipped right past stock Boros right into using Mums Boros. Because I like to have as much airflow as possible, adding a dry plug designed for a Mums Boro isn’t something I need either but, thanks to Project Paragon, those that want to reduce airflow with a Mums Boro or any other Boro, there is a solution.
Introducing Project Paragon Dry Plugs
Jason Largo has created a line of dry plugs for all sorts of scenarios under the name Project Paragon.
I got sick of not being able to find plugs for my billets, let alone ones that match certain color setups or have unique airflow restrictions. Plugs will help direct vapor to the airflow ports in the corresponding devices. They can also help control airflow for bridges lacking the ability like EUC.

Project Paragon will offer dry plugs in a wide array of configurations:
- Different airflow entry types (Billet/Side, Stash/Dual, Delro/Front)
- Many airflow sizes
- Tons of color options
Project Paragon plugs are online and ready to buy right now. Check out the online shop and head over to the Facebook Group too.
Currently, there are categories for Billet Box plugs, DotAio plugs, Delro plugs, StashBox plugs, and Mums airflow restrictors.
Jason of Project Paragon shared some additional information about plugs and what his design is all about.
Why do you need dry plugs or condensation plugs?
Boro Condensation Plugs (also known as dry plugs) can serve a few purposes.
- The key use is to help manage the vapor that builds up near the airports in the metal RBA/coil.
- Another purpose is for restricting airflow. Most of the Billet Box RBA’s have tricky airflow rings that sometimes even move when you take a draw. Vapers who use the stock coils like EUC have no airflow control mechanisms at all and this can help with that. Using different plugs to control the airflow can help dial in the draw a vaper desires.
- The last function is purely cosmetic, whether its to give a flush look and match the boro or to match a theme, it can be a canvas for those seeking to express themselves artistically.
So what’s the big deal about excess vapor?
For some its actually not a big deal at all, its a problem that can be avoided by just not holding down the fire button so long AND not doing any sort of blowback before the inhale. I personally love the vape flavor and letting go of the fire button a few seconds before my drag ends completely ruins the taste for me. Additionally, I vape kind of like a cig with the last bit of my draw I might let some vapor slip out of my mouth then inhale it all the way. Kind of like how an old school smoker would, something I’m sure you can relate to as well. I had to clean my boro about every other day because of how much excess vapor I create with my style. It’s really bad when you have clear panels though. Without a plug, the condensation buildup on your panels happens very quickly and it looks bad fast with clear.
How does a plug reduce vapor buildup?
They effectively create an airtight chamber around the bottom of the RBA that leads straight to the airflow ports of the billet box (the 3 holes on the side). So the excess vapor no longer has all this free space to settle under the boro and in all the nooks and crannies near the legs of the Boros. The airtight chamber also creates pressurization that ‘moves’ the vapor out of the airflow ports in a more deliberate manner.
We at BilletBox.info wish the best for Project Paragon and looking forward to testing out some Project Paragon dry plugs.
