That does look sweet! Mines shipping tomorrow too I hope. I'm really looking forward to having this mod. The video review is what sold it for me, thanks Moobyghost!
Thanks also, Moobyghost. I ordered two of these Thursday after seeing your review. Hopefully I'll have them this week. Can't have too many mods!
Can you use it as a pass-through connected to the usb port of your computer? That might be the clincher for me.
Sorry, Mooby, it was late and I watched the video review, but, because the wife was sleeping I had the sound off. Anyways, hopefully, I'm going to take ride over to Jay's tomorrow and pick one up.
How long have these taken to be shipped to you guys? I ordered on the 21st to be sent out on the 23rd and have received nothing.
How did your packages come? USPS or UPS?

USPS... I got mine about 7 days after I orderd but thats cause he was completly swamped with orders.. remember its just one guy making these things and we all want one well in my case 3
Yeah, I get that it's just one guy. I was under the impression that the ones paid for were being shipped on the 23rd. I suppose it has only been 5 working days, no including the 23rd. I'll try to keep ahold of myself for a few more days!

Got confirmation my package was mailed yesterday. It was sent priority so hopefully I'll have it tomorrow.
I got one of these a few weeks ago and I gotta say, this thing kicks ... all the way through. The only gripe I have is about the occassional leakage from the usb port, but it doesnt affect the production one bit.
I just got back from Jay's after picking up my Bart! Yea, I live that close. This thing ROCKS!!! I have also found a new purpose for my cellphone's usb wall charger. I works perfectly plugged into the Bart and it charges the battery at the same time. I purposely used a new atty and a new polyfill cart with TW 36mg Camel flavored juice. Hey we all know the PTB mod works, even makes some PV's better, but, I wanted to try it stock. What a cloud! He recessed the master switch for me and the led's. I asked him about a 2 CR123/6 volt mod. He showed one, but said that because of the battery thickness the cover plate doesn't quite fit right, slight bulging on the back cover. He did show me some light up Barts he's made, very cool looking. Also this thing is small and compact. I'm already sucking the cart dry. For anyone looking for a Janty stick substitute at 2/3 the price, that works just as good, this is it! Can't wait until my titanium 510 atty comes in the mail, it's going to spiff the Bartleby right up.

Ordered mine last week and got it today.
It was shipped on the 11/30 as promised.
This thing works great as reviewed by Mobyghost.
The one description I never saw was a comparison to a stock 510. (I have a 510 Bartleby) Here it goes:
Taste:
The 510 BB tastes like a great hit on a stock 510. The difference is it is more consistent. Each hit is the same as the last and longer hits produce more vapor than stock.
Size / Weight:
It is bigger and heavier than a stock 510. It is not heavy by any means. Since it is not shaped like a pen you can't hold it in your hand and use your hand to do something else such as move a mouse. The button is large and easy to find, and it is obvious which end of the device is "up." A stock 510 in all one color can be confusing in the dark.
Battery life:
I don't know exactly. It has already out lived a stock battery. It is nice not to worry about it being dead when you pick it up, or having to get up and swap out batteries.
If you use the passthrough I imagine the PV would be fully charged when you unplugged it. This would mean you have a few hours without needing to mess with batteries.
Value:
There is a lot of bang for your buck here. The BB replaces 2-3 stock batteries, 1-2 chargers, and probably a 510 PCC. Fully assembled the BB costs about the same as the parts it replaces but works better.
Cons:
The only thing I dislike so far is the red led. It is too bright and distracting. I can't see the reflection of the green light if the red led is on. This is a very minor gripe of course. I'll get used to it.
Summary:
Buy one. It's a great way to spend $50 if you don't need shiny stainless steel.

So glad to hear you're pleased with it, Chris. Puts out some vapor eh? lol I just got some for a friend today. Checked them out and the consistency has been right on, on each unit I have tried - going on 7 now! Same great hits. Lighting up that 510 atty like it was made for it. And I simply like it in my hand - that 'contemplation over the knuckles' part.... you see Mooby doing that on occasion.
The consistency I think is what I was most lacking from a 510 battery and I believe I would have still experienced the same voltage drop off even with a mega battery. Like I said earlier, my phone charges through it's usb port and the wall charger has a mini usb plug on the end. Right now the Bart's plugged into it, which is plugged into the wall outlet. No voltage drop and consistant hits and clouds of vaper. I actually drained a fresh full cart with it yesterday after about 5 hits. But, they were full deep hits which almost got me coughing, never did that with my 510 battery. Plus I've always got a fully freshly charged battery. I works just as consistant plugged into the usb port of my laptop as it does unplugged running off the battery. I may be taking another trip or two back to Jay's! I recently converted my oldest stepson over to vaping although he's not a full convert yet, he still smokes analogs too, but, only because he went and got a Blu kit. Ah, ignorance of youth, he'll learn. I'm getting him some 24mg redbull juice for Christmas.
Got my order yesterday and I have to admit I'm VERY impressed. I can't think of anything else in this size/weight class with this kind of battery life. For $50 with two 14500 batts included this thing is a STEAL! Using a 901 PTB cart and I'm still on my first battery. It fits well in the Joye Stick case, too (just make sure you turn it off first).
I plan on ordering a few more of these.

Just wanted to let it be known that I did receive my Bart today!! HOORAY! Seems to be working like a champ so far (the whole 10 minutes I've had it lol). Just wanted to calm any worries people might have had about ordering due to my prior post.
It's not bad. It was actually an underestimation on my part, but, I need to warn you all.
So I had my Bart in the car with me today as I was going to the grocery store. I had just pulled out of my driveway and was a couple hundred feet down the rode when I decided to take a drag from the Bart. I didn't have the window down, it's cold out here now, nor did I have the heater on yet. Well, when I exhaled, I got the biggest thickest cloud of vape in between me and the inside of the windshield I'd have ever seen before. I couldn't see a thing! I hit the defrosters, with my foot hovering over the brake pedal. It was like I had let off a smoke bomb in the car.
So, if your driving along, crack the window or already have the blowers going in the car before you take that drag and let it out. The vape that escapes may just save your life, or at least keep you from having to change your drawers.8-o
But, in all honesty, the Bartleby is the best PV I've owned so far!
