There is a comparison pic back in the thread when the release of the Rev 4 was announced. I think it was a DD one.

THANK YOU SO MUCH - For the offer . . .
AND - NO, it is not because I don't know about the "Flavor" of Menthol I like - I DO and that's why it is a major problem - It is what I call a "True Menthol Tobacco" taste . . . Matter of fact, I was very surprised to find out that there are a few flavors that are actually in the Menthol Cigarettes I smoke (Kool) that included Licorice & Chocolate, and also there is High Fructose Corn Syrup too . . .As for the actual type of "Menthol" it is still somewhat elusive - it is not a "Mint"/"Sweet Candy" Taste in any way, shape, or form - more a "compound menthol" with a cool inhale/exhale almost like a Halls Mentholyptus Cough drop (just not as strong) . . . Depending on how much (drops) I add to some E-Liquids I have in a tank - "Menthol Crystal Liquid" & Kolada comes very close thou . . . Just Sayin' . . .
NOW - The Reason/s for Not DIY - nor Rebuilding coils too . . .
1) When I started "My" Transition into the Word of Vaping - I never ever wanted or do anything more complicated then it would be to walk into the store and purchase a pack of cigarettes . . . AND - Of course that has changed . . .
2) Although, I have been a pretty good cook and made meals for 1-2 individuals, a family meal for 8+ and/or even up to 200-300 people . . . DIY is just way to complicate to "Me", especially since most recipes use % . . . WHAT THE HEY - 1 tsp- 1 oz, etc I understand - percentage of this or that too much for "Me" . . . I even messed-up many a times with different "E-liquids" by just adding a few drops here & there of Menthol/Kolada . . . I Know "My" BAD . . .SO - NOPE NADA NOT HAPPENING ! ! !
3) Although, I do live in a one bedroom apartment and have some space - I DO Not have the storage/work area - nor the freezer space that would be NEEDED for everything . . . Heck, I barely have the space to cook in the kitchen - which is approximately 3' x 6' and only big enough for one person to stand in (ex: on one side of the room there is the stove which is only 28" wide w/a cooking area that 1 lg burner & 3 very small burners, then a standard sink, & 3' counter space - the other side is an apartment size/sm refrigerator and a single door pantry that holds a Microwave Oven & some Dry Goods) . . .
No, I didn't know that "Menthol" will kill more cells . . . Now - Can Ya' tell "Me" which ones, and more importantly, if it is possible to direct them to specific cells I NEED to kill . . .
No truer words were ever spoken . . .
uncle I can totally understand where you are coming from and it is an absolute shame that Eliquid will be expensive and not so simple in the future.
It is second nature to me because we had no choice but to mix nicotine in Eliquid. (Can't buy locally) I was so particular about having the same experience and consistency that I went looking for the companies that would sell me concentrates of eliquids I could try. I can be bit blasé when it comes to the ease of DIY so my apologies.
SLIGHTLY deeper (almost imperceptible). You won't even notice it.

I make a base first, which is esssentially unflavored ejuice in my nic strength. Use the ejuice calculator ( @Uncle which tells you how many mls a % is) lol I make 500 mls of base at a time in a jar. Even a mayo jar will work. Use a 1 cup pyrex measuring cup, and measure out my vg, dump in jar. Measure out nic next dump in jar. Mix these together really well with a spoon. then use measure out my pg, dump in jar, mix again! Done. When time to make juice, pull up ever how much ya wanna make. 30 ml bottle, pull up about 28mls. Add flavoring per recipe. Or start with a single flavor like pina colada. If it needs more, add more. If it needs less, add a lil more base. If you're super particular about nic strength, make your base a little higher in nic than you normally would, like if you vape 18mg, maybe make it 20mg in the base.
oh dang........been lookin for a pack like this for about a year. Finally bought something at harbor freight about 3 weeks ago that has way more in it than I need, but I think it does have the ones I need. But bookmarked this just in case.
I understand. Doing it my way though, I made bottles of juice on top of my lap top which sits on a tv tray. I know, not the smartest, but at the time I had no space either, and couldn't use a kitchen. Just wanted to let ya know.2) Although, I have been a pretty good cook and made meals for 1-2 individuals, a family meal for 8+ and/or even up to 200-300 people . . .

So it sounds like I'm gonna need some graduated cylinders and some other fine measuring instruments, as well as large glass vessels?
I vape 0mg. I know, I know, "lucky" me. The Regs may not affect me as badly cuz I don't need Nic in my life anymore.
Most of the juices I vape are 70% VG, 30% PG.
So I know I'll need both of those things, and I'll probably buy them in those ratios.
What I'm most worried about is flavorings.
Trusted sources, good recipes, wasting materials in trial & error, etc.
I like fruity, sweet, sour, tart type flavors most.
I like a handful of coffee, caramel, warm desserty type flavors as well.
And I have a spearmint flavor I love.
No tobacco flavors for me. No licorice, no plum, no blueberry...
Also, nothing apple flavored. I've tried too many apple type flavors that just taste like dish soap to me.
One of my all time favorites is a Mango-Peach Tea.
If that sounds good to anyone, and you don't mind ordering pre-made juice, here's the link:
Serendipity - Guice Serendipity E Liquid
Looks like they're out of stock online, at the moment.
The same juice company also makes a very tasty Apple Cranberry flavor called Compass.

Got my BB back last week, didn't realize how much I missed it until it was back. Guess I'll have to pick up a second...and third just in case. On a separate note, these beautiful panels will be arriving tomorrow. Spalted Burl block by Matt Manning, Panels by Evolution Woodworx.

you certainly can, and some prefer that, but I don't use those. All I use when I make my unflavored base ahead of time is a measuring cup, 60 ml syringe (this is for putting base into my bottles whether I'm making 30mls, 60 mls, 120mls or whatever). and some 1 ml syringes for measuring flavoring. They are small enough to stick down into the little flavor bottles when you take the dropper top off.
gorgeous!Got my BB back last week, didn't realize how much I missed it until it was back. Guess I'll have to pick up a second...and third just in case. On a separate note, these beautiful panels will be arriving tomorrow.

Well, I guess it's time to start shopping for stuffs...
[emoji20]
This feels like the day before I started building my own coils.
I knew I was gonna do it, I knew I would OCD over it all, but I was pretty sure I'd enjoy it.
Two years later, I've got more building supplies than I can use in my whole lifetime.
Most of that is due to the Regs.
Time to obsess over this new thing!
Any good recommendations to start with?
Fruit, tart, tangy, sweet/sour...
Watermelon, mango, peach...that kind of stuff.
Can an individual buy from Capella? Or does it have to be wholesale with business license?
Is that even a good company to buy from?
I thiiiiiiiiiiiiiink I'm gonna mosey on over the the DIY threads...
Any favorite DIY threads?
hehehe I don't really go to the DIY threads. I vape a lot of fruity stuff. Will send ya my favorite recipe yes you can buy capella. Lots of places have it. Ecigexpress, rts vapes, bull city vapor etc. rts is usually more expensive. I've bought from ecigexpress cuz they had 30% off both times I bought a bunch. just got flavors that shipped today from rts because I won 1200 pts which equaled 75.00 so that was kewl! I really like capella drops.
Holding them next to each other, they are basically the same size. The only difference I can see is that the panels make the Rev4 just a tad wider. The Rev3 has flush panels/carbon fiber, the Rev4 has removable panels that curve out just a touch, like maybe one mm, and that's in the center.
At first I was concerned that the panels would come off going in and out of my pocket. Those suckers are on there very well!
There's a super magnet in each corner, and they will not come off accidentally! DP is awesome! 
OK, BB modders. @King_Louie has a question for y'all:
"Would you know if the button from the billet box rev 3a would be able to be used on the rev4? "
"Would you know if the button from the billet box rev 3a would be able to be used on the rev4? "
I am not much use on this question....mine are all Rev 3. On the surface they look the same but couldn't say until I saw the inside.
I would guess that it's not even an issue of "are they the same size", more so as its a question of "Can you access the Rev4 button as 'easily' as the Rev3 button?"
With a tiny bit of tinkering on one of my used Rev3's (2014), I found how to remove the button if I wish to replace it.
I imagine the Rev4 is buried behind the DNA chip a little less "accessibly"....or at least I wouldn't want to go poking around back there!

Thank you for quoting me here and thank you Hbcorpse for the reply..
I ask because i have an awesome custom button for my rev3a. I am going to sell it soon, but i want a rev4 (eventually) and was wondering if i should keep it for the rev4 or sell it. Maybe someone with a rev4 already might know the question as ive never seen one in person.
They do look about the same size from pictures though, all i do know is that they are in different spots on the mods.
