I pushed mine in a little with no issue, plus in time the negative gives a little on its own as well.

For battery wraps I got a bunch of precut of amazon. They are nice, seem thicker adn more durable. Just have to trip about 3 mm from the precut.

I have some wraps, some I got from Fat Daddy, and some from FT. I think FD's wraps are a little thicker. I don't think the battery will fit with a thicker wrap. LOL!

Is there anyplace in the US to get BB buttons, preferably a flat SS button? I found one in Canada, but I don't want to pay almost $10.00 for the cheapest shipping. Didn't see anything at JMK.

Before I screw something up, I want to ask if anyone has gently tried to compress the negative battery spring just a touch to make the battery a little easier to get in and out? Rapping the BB against one hand doesn't seem to work very well, and I have to use my fingernail on the positive end of the battery and pry it out. I'm afraid I'm going to damage the battery wrap there.

A lot of folks wrap a piece of scotch tape around their Rev3 batteries, and make a little tab to pull the batteries out...

No reason that shouldn't work for the Rev4.

Just make sure to spin the battery around so the tab doesn't press up against the door.

That should allow you to leave the spring alone!

Here's a decent example I found through some Google-fu:

Duh on me! Thanks, I'll try it.

Wishing you all a good start to your week.

Duh on me! Thanks, I'll try it.

It's not really a "Duh" moment...

It's just one of those things that is so obvious it's almost invisible...ya know?

It's also one of those things that "once you see it, you can never un-see it"...hahaha!

 

[HBcorpse]

Also, good morning to all!

Not a coffee drinker (screws wth my stomach something awful)...but here's some Billet Box p0rn!

I don't know what these panels are, or where to find them, but I saw this while searching for the battery "tape tab" images...

All I know is: I'D BUY THESE!

 

[oplholik]

Ya, dat's some nice looking panels alright. If'n you ever find em, don't keep it a secret.

Anyone know how often BBV restocks the NO BULL SHIZ TIPs?

They're in stock at JMK:
BB Rev4 Button

Well I'll be darned, don't know how I missed it. Oh well, gotta get one. Thanks.

Looking at a pic of buttons on JMK's site there are two SS buttons. One appears to have a bluish tint to it, but I don't know which one it is in the choices in the drop down box. Anybody know?

I think the one in the foreground is ss, and the one in back is brass.

ETA: I really wish they did a better job with their pictures

 

[oplholik]

Now that you mention it, and I looked at it again, I'll bet you are right.

 

[Kable]

I was trying to figure out the same thing a couple weeks ago. I got three of their sunken buttons in ss, black delrin, and ultem, and they work great.

Can I now add, it's been over a week with my Billet Box, and my other Mods are just sitting. The best investment was this Comfort Bridge, I wish I ordered 2. I'm hoping they offer them on BB site so I don't have to pay the extra shipping and I will pick up a 3rd tank.

Think I may have to try the 2nd tank I have with the OCC bridge and .5 Coil and see how that works.

On another note, I am going to be going on a plane next month. How do these hold up in high altitudes in regards to leaking?

I haven't flown with one personally, but I saw a thread on the book of faces where someone asked about this recently. The consensus seemed to be that you should drain the tank before your flight.

I have experimented with the following and rate them in the following order, for my vaping. YMMV.
1. Exocet. Gotta get more
2. Racing Bridge with the Kanger Mini+ rb deck. A close second to the Exocet.
3. Comfort Bridge. Not that bad actually, I can live with it if need be.
4. Billet Bridge - OCC. Sold and gone, just way too airy for me.
I'm happy that I was able to try more than one set up, and pic a clear favorite.
