    First, I refuse to "like" this post. But I do sympathize with it. So sorry to hear it's been that kind of week. All I can say is, I'm just glad you named her. ;) But, I'm pretty sure your customer/fan base will stick with you. Maintain your sanity. Get the company to send the guy who...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Here are some quickies for ya: #19 Switch base, original spring (reverse-twist expanded), and modified MadVapes "big" battery spring (some of the top and bottom clipped off): Original, embiggened spring installed in the switch base. Note that the outside of the spring contacts the...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Been picking up some of the S-mods lately. A couple have needed tweaking, and today I got to tackle the #19 ("a", I guess, doesn't look like that "b" pic). Anywho, looking at the fixes so far and what I had after managing to get the switch apart, I took what I think is a slightly different...

    Diver center pin is slotted on the bottom. Plus there are channels milled down the sides of the connector threads, and very shallow divots at the bottom of those channels for air to the center pin. There are pics of all but the center pin back a few posts, inside the BB for a pretty clear shot...

    Thanks for the info! It'll be good in a 510-threaded mod no doubt but that might make for an "iffy" performance in a stock Billet Box, based on this past week's experience with the Diver. For those interested I'll be putting out a Diver/BB update sometime this weekend detailing what's...

    That would be 40 mm, on average, including the connector, with the center pin flush with the bottom. Length looks good. Diameter sounds just a smidgen small ... almost all of my cartomizers, the Diver, etc. measure about 9.20~9.25 mm. Sounds simple enough (note that does NOT mean I think...

    Reynolds bill in South Carolina (H 4074) would tax, require license to sell “vapor products”

    OK, I've been trying for a while now to submit messages to to all SC legislature reps, but the online forms keep returning "Error saving Email..." and/or "The code you entered was not the correct code from the Verification Image. Try again." (despite being exactly the code from the image). I...

    OK. Tested now. So far, me likey. Deeper cuts in the Diver base definitely improved the airflow - easier draw and copious vapor now! Will take a day or so both to break in the coil and to determine if this contributes to liquid/condensate in the BB tank bay. Stay tuned. . . .

    Thanks for all the B-Day wishes, folks! Good solid day spent with the Minister of Finance and Warfare (Mrs. Vapian) and toolin' around in the workshop. Finally got the air filter hung and most of the floor space cleared up ... almost ready to start using cheap tools for things they were never...

    The Darwin From Evolv!!!

    Without naming names, I'm willing to be that one of the newer carto-sized RBA's would work for dripping. At least one is truly carto-sized in diameter. True, there's a hole in the side since it's designed for use in a tank ... but I think a silicon carto sleeve could be slipped on to block that...

    Wait ... you had pre-orders to ship and took time out for that?! ;) Congratulations to you and your Baby Mama! And for getting the BB Mama closer to a few hundred in the oven. :)

    Aaaaaalrighty then ... another weekend, another Diver mod update. This here is kinda how I modified the Diver (this time) to ditch the flange, enshorten the tube, and a new thingymabobber I did that might help with an issue I ran into over time. Behold, the Diver, in all its original nakedness...

    ~The Billet BoX~

    Yup. Not good at all. In fact, I'd say your BB's days are numbered. Might as well sell it to me for parts now. ;)

    Interesting ... Sounds alot like like the old trick of using soap to make drawer runners operate more smoothly. Creative! Just thinking ahead here: Even if it is unscented, you might want to consider keeping it in a zip-lock baggie that seals VERY well. Otherwise it could have an interesting...

    If the o-rings were new and not damaged by the new cartomizer, the most likely culprit (I think) would be the black nitrile ball not fully seating after filling the tank. If that seems like a possibility, after filling make sure to press on the clear face of the tank a few times after any...

    Finally got around to dismantling my Diver/BB tank combo today after working great for about a week-and-a-half. Just got too antsy to do a rebuild. Got some pics ... wanna see 'em? No? Too bad, you'll have to scroll past 'em. A comparison between the stock Diver tube body and the one that was...

    And hey, in that plastic bag, it almost really is the "shiny" $5.00 bill he said it would be. :)

    Maybe it was a one-off, but I'm pretty sure my BB came with a multi-hole carto ... I think it had three or four pretty large holes in it (two low, one or two high). Maybe it was just a leftover from DD playing around with his shark-lasers ... but pretty sure I didn't just imagine it.
