Bartleby PV review

[Kent C]

First off, Mooby, excellent video review. I've seen a bunch of your reviews on this site and they've all been thorough and informative.

My question is, what is the "touch" version that was mentioned earlier in this thread? It was never described in any detail, other than that it doesn't have a button. It's also not mentioned on cybervex's site. Was this a one-off prototype thing? How does it work?

Yes it was a one time thing that I requested and bought from Jay in the smaller version. I was looking for a more 'sleek' version. The leds are recessed - which I think is now standard, he cut down the on/off switch and then files some grooves back in to fingernail it, and the activation is done with two flat contacts where the button would be and your thumb completes the circuit. The only thing is, is that the thumb needs to be a bit moist sometimes to make the circuit :-) I use it but wouldn't recommend it. For one thing, when vaping on a button Bart I keep the thumb on the button and then just push... d'uh ;-) but with the touch version you have to move the thumb off the contacts and then back on, etc. I know that doesn't seem like a big thing and it isn't but that's another aspect of how it's different. Also if you get too moist, sometimes you have to wipe off the contacts to stop it. :-)

Thanks for the info

That's pretty damn slick, but I think I agree about it not being practical. If nothing else, it's really cool to see he's trying out new stuff like that. A lot of guys, after coming up with a popular design, would not want to mess with it. I like the fact that cybervex is trying out new features, and even adding in the ones that make sense (recessed switch and LEDs) into the production units.

That does it. I'm shooting him an email now.

You won't regret it. It's my no. 1 mod, and #2,3,4... ;-) There's a Protege in there too - also a 14500/510 combo, but I like the ergnomics of the box mod. I agree on all points on cybervex.

Just ordered mine today... Fingers crossed. I've got a chuck on order too, but I will go insane if I have to wait four more weeks to try out HV.

Mine just shipped.... I can't wait to get it!

Cybervex/Jay will be on vacation from making the Bartlebys for 2-4 weeks. He asked me to post this - so no orders will be taken for a bit. I'll let you know if he contacts me when he returns.

edit: Also anything ordered has shipped this morning (3/23).

Hello Bartleby fans!

My wife and I are proud owners of 2 3.7v versions but I have a question for anyone who owns a 5v version.

Is the built in USB charger also a feature of the 5v as in the 3.7v? I really like the ability to charge without messing around with batteries and chargers.

Besides the obvious different voltage and different batteries used, are there any other differences between these 2 versions?

All I Can say is that i absolutely, positively LOVE my 3.7 bartleby with USB.

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT.

Works stunning with my 510 atty and my Kr8 cartomizers.

Congrats on the twin Barts! The 5v version has no internal charger. I don't recommend using the regular Joye 510 atty on the 5 volt, unless you only drip and even then you can't hang on the button.

With cartridge, you should go to an HV 510 with a higher ohm rating or a 901 with an adapter, however, when you do that you knock the wattage down toward the 3.7v with the Joye 510 atty. And so the difference in vapor won't be that significant.

The real significant vapor gain is going from a regular, mega or even a TorneGo to the 14500. And with the 3.7v you'll keep your attys clean. I just 'cleaned' my Tornado atty by putting it on a Bartleby for a while ;-) ... back to the Tornado and all is fine.
