BB and 5v/6v

[Matt_TX]

I just ordered a BB and the corresponding 3.7v battery. However, I've been reading a lot about vaping with 5v, or even 6v, and I was wondering if there is a SAFE mod that will allow me to do this with the BB? I do not want to do anything unsafe (they are very clear about not using un-protected batteries - I'm not sure what can go wrong, but I'll follow the advice).

Can any BB owners out there tell me how I can do this?

Thanks,
Matt

Consider the PT for the BB and the variable usb radio shack power supply 5v, 6v no problem with nice vapor and no blown atty's (keep em wet) been borrowing my son's for night time vaping using the BB with it's PT out of this world. His BB is a nice unit as well. If I gotta be out for the day, I'll borrow it and at 3.7 that battery (14500's I think) kick all day with nice vape at 510. When we originally ordered it the plan was to use the cr2's ,but Altsmoke then advised against it, with good cause. I'm waiting for my own HV unit myself, but I love his BB at 3.7 on the road and exceptional with the PT.

I did see a post yesterday I think for some protected cr2's out of the UK I think but I really didn't pay much attention to it.

I wouldn't recommend putting unprotected cr2's in your BB! i would get the PT!! nothing will blow up that way! lol The BB is designed as a 3.7 device

What about the LifePO4 CR2 batteries? I know they run down quick, but aren't they protected?

actually they are not protected but the battery chemistry is such that they will not expode.

So is it fair to say they are safe to use with the BB? Any idea where to buy them? I did some searches but no luck.

there is also someone is hte US but cant remember the link.

Do I need a special atty to use with these, or can I just use the regular 510 atty that I ordered with the BB?

 

[doots]

you can use the regular atty at 3.7 or 6v but at 6v its going ot be very warm vape and might taste burnt somewhat unless you keep the atty awful wet..

I went through the same thing when I was deciding which PV to buy first, 3.7v, 5v, or 6v. I then thought I was trying to quit smoking as well as cut down on nictotine so I really didn't want to be getting huge amounts of nicotine at once, and I didn't want to continually burn out attys or buy the HV attys.

I can tell you my 2nd PV, the 3.7v eGo with a direct drip cartridge produces mass amounts of vapor and the drags are nice and easy. At this point I can't see myself moving to a 5v, or 6v, no good reason to.

Thanks for the input... Maybe I'll just wait to get my BB and try it at 3.7v before I splash out on the 6v mod and HV attys. Do you think I'll still be able to get adequate hit/vapor using my BB at 3.7v? Any tips or tricks?

For some reason I seem to be getting more vapor then I see in videos of others using 5v and 6v devices, I'm not sure why that is.

I would try the mouthpiece mod in the link below, dripping is easier, I get an easier drag, and I get more vapor. I'm not sure what differences it'll make on the BB because it doesn't have a sealed atty cover like the eGo does.

I just looked at the vapor production in a mirror and now I wouldn't say I get more vapor then a 5v/6v, it's comparable. And I took the atty cover off and tried it, I get about the same amount of vapor maybe a bit less, the drag is a bit easier since there's more air flow. I'm starting to get a headache from testing this

By the way, I'm fairly new to all this so take what I say with that in mind.

I found the LifePO4 CR2 Batteries... They are at protectionsupplies.net. I cannot post the like as I am a newbie (lots of weird rules about what and where you can post in this forum, btw..)

Anyway, if anyone wants the link, PM me...

They are only $14.99 with the charger. I figured I'll try them out just to see what all the fuss is about. If 6v is that much better, I may buy an SB and do 6V on that, so it's completely safe.

I think the rules on links are to keep people from joining and them spamming the boards with inappropriate or unrelated links and then dissappearing.

Yeah, I wasn't complaining... Just an observation. It does keep the riff-raff out which is good for the forum
