    Aww, shucks :blush:, thanks :) Heh, it's easy to wax poetic when the subject is sublime, neh? And I've got proof: My son (who's 1 year old) was sitting on my lap at the table. He had treats (healthy, of course), toys, and his favorite book about dinosaurs. What does he want? My BB, more than a...

    No prob, but I think that strips the link to the originals. Yeah, it's really stealthy and dignified. I'm extremely pleased with it.

    Thanks :thumbs:. I know all about the "first one" effect. How right you are :), the phrase "There can be only one" refers to the model, not the item. Oy veh, and I thought that vaping would save me money :lol:. Ah well, it's great fun.

    Rat Black So, I’ve kept away from the thread, because my frustration with the postal services and customs was driving me nutz. I mean, how @#$% hard is it to do this…..:-x? <deep breath> Anyhoo, my Rat Black is in my clammy little mitts. It's HERE...

    Re: flavor and throat hit I've noticed that most people use 50/50 or higher in favor of VG. For some reason I've always gone with 70/30 PG/VG (sometimes 60/40) especially because of the throat hit. When I started many years ago I went through a flavor madness phase, but that quickly passed, and...

    Heh me too. Although for me it wasn't the shipping, that was just a couple of days. Mine's been stuck in customs, and I haven't even gotten the duty fees yet, which means I'm going to be lucky to get it by Friday next. The joys of international trade........:(:mad::-x What's that they say about...

    If he has please let us know. I've got a hybrid on the way from Atmistique, so if there are any issues between that and the UNO I'll post it. Sent from Tapatalk

    If I get an UNO that sits like that I'll just grind it down a little bit, that should sort that problem out.

    Y'know, I'm never, ever, ever, going to pretend to save money with this hobby. Looking at my deliveries app I've got stuff coming from SF (the BB), Seattle (UNO), Greece (Drip tip and assorted stuff), Spain (again assorted stuff incl PG, VG, and Nic), Germany (new multimeter)..... Oh My :blink...

    Thankee kindly--no, your memory's just fine (at least in this case :D). Seems like a nice place.

    Hey Kat, thanks for that :thumbs:. I found one at oughtvapes.com (redirected from OHMAN BMODS | Stainless Is for the Kitchen Sink), and they had two left, so I jumped on it. I'm guessing that's his site, and oughtvapes fulfill the payment/webstuff. Anyway, got a confirmation, so I'm crossing my...

    And the UNOs were oversold. Just received a cancellation. Great! And I don't do cartos. Marvelous.:nah: Anyone know where they can be got? I'm not looking forward to fishing my old cartos out of storage.

    Well, in my case it's a "can't get it here" situation. OTOH, I can buy cheaply from Germany, Greece, and Italy, and especially from the latter I've bought quite a bit of high-end gear, so.... what goes around comes around. But, like I said above, the killer isn't the duty, it's the VAT (sales...

    BTW, the $436.45 includes the cost of the BB, it's not in addition to--but it's still insanely expensive.

    ~The Billet Box~ page 1559 continued...

    Yeah, and in my case I also bought an Uno, so it's even worse. The problem isn't the customs duties. 3.5% is reasonable. The fact that VAT is 25% of not only the unit, but also shipping--that's the real killer. The handling charge is the same regardless of the value of the shipment. Ah well...

    You're probably right, although I've gotten stuff from Asia and the States that have come through without any fees. And they are high!. I don't know how it's calculated in other countries but a BB @ $264 + $56.55 shipment charge, comes out to ((($264 * 1.035 (customs)) + $56.55 (shipping)) *...

    All you internationals: Anne from BBV just contacted me to upgrade my shipping to International Express (with tracking). In the F5 frenzy I completely forgot about it. However, that got me thinking. Sometimes I get stuff that goes through without customs checks. But that's never happened with...

    Yeah, I thought long and hard about that. Been bitten before (with the Reos), but it's a fun road to travel. I really look forward to the first steps.

    Well, refugee from Reoville, here. I like bulletproof systems, and I'd never heard of the Billet Box. I've been very impressed with the community here. Just my luck that I looked in yesterday, and snagged a Rat Black and an Uno (cause, y'now, rebuildable) this morning. Can't wait for vape mail...
