Had a brief scare when a new fully-charged battery didn't fire up in the R4... screen dead, button no worky-worky, clickety-click-click-click, didn't do anything.
Turned out the insulation wrapping around the bottom of the 18650 extended a bit too far toward the center of the negative end...
<Wakes up Van Winkle-style, blinks around the room>
Oh, hai, y'all.
So... what's new?
<Looks down at the new R4tBlack someone considerately packed with a Bridge, BVC w/modified pin and filled with strawberry somethin-or-other, and left in his hand...>
Huh....
<vaaaaaaaaaaape>
Oh, yeah...
Mako still looks interesting, but if the price comes in at what the interest list was suggesting ($60 as I recall) ... I dunno.
Feels a bit steep, being mostly invested in Bridges at this point....
I told myself I'd be good. That I wouldn't look when the next sale came.
I told myself, that it was the responsible thing to do.
The adult thing.
That I wouldn't regret it.
Today I see opportunity that was, the Iron Box.
Today I issue a string of expletives, worthy of my Navy background...
According to Google Translate, it's Spanish for "go by" or "going down".
I dunno, though. Those letters... in that order... they look familiar somehow.... ;)
Just thought I'd show you folks who aren't on Facebook some of the work a guy that goes as "Va Por" has been doing to fancy up his Billet Boxes.
This first one is hard gold plated and has Damascus steel plate sides and a Mokume Gane button. The Damascus is a little dark but you can still see...
Well, how 'bout that. Congratulations! To you, and whoever just earned a whole lotta good karma.
And now you can't say that no one ever gave a Rat's Brass about ya. ;)
Hmmmm.... someone on FB appears to be offering soon a new rebuildable atomizer for the Billet Box. This one's apparently microcoiled for 1.5 ohms, a bit low for my taste. And I'm more about flavor than the cloud-chasing, myself.
But still, it looks like an admirable little fog machine. Will...
For all you folks who rassle coils on your off-BB time, here's a video for calculating total resistance and total & per-coil current draw for those advanced high-voltage differential-resistance builds.
It's so easy, even a kid can do it!
Welcome to my Monday morning.
Except for the unbearable cuteness.
And the being outside (which is pretty much just an annoying void to be suffered through between home and work).
And with much less than the required amount of coffee.
And without the soul-wrenching, "Nooooooooooooooooo..."
Well, that just sounds like a right-peachy excuse to make an 18350-powered Billet Box, don'tcha think?
Just grab that CAD drawing 'n scale everything out a bit (exceptin' the tank height, so's cartos 'n such still work), and BAM, there's yer daddy right there.
Size the 'electric juice...
Where does anyone live in Australia?
Somewhere between the Venomous Kitten sanctuary and the neighborhoods full of Giant Spiders THAT WANT TO PLAY WITH YOU (before they eat you)?
Perhaps a little North of the Fields of Poisonous Sunflowers?
There's a reason that the official language of...
Being Retired Navy myself, and a Submariner at that (meaning, all surface ships are called "Targets" and pretty much doomed), I'll take a pass as well and make another slot available for a newbie on the game board Battle Theater.
FWIW, it's going to take me a while to get used to "Battle...
