For those of you that loved the Omega with the Silver Vein coating, we went ahead and created it with the BB as well. I will add pictures up later ;)
I'd love to see some nice pics of the Silver Vein BB, maybe standing next to the Silver Vein Omega for a size comparison..........my wallet, however, would beg to differ. :D

The Omega is just slightly smaller than the SB. And they do show those next to each other, just so you can get an idea.
Thanks, Jimi........just saw the comparison pics of the SB & BB on the Altsmoke site. I currently have the BSB and the Omega, and am considering their smaller sibling as well, as I really like the 14500 battery. :D

Thanks for the pic! You know, I've read all the posts regarding the tarnishing issue with the nickel plating on the original Omega. I purchased one when they first came out. I've used it quite a bit, sometimes as my all-day PV, and I have yet to find mine tarnished at all. Fingerprints yes....tarnish, no. Maybe I'm just lucky, or my body chemistry is such that it doesn't lend itself to tarnish. I also polished it when I got it with some car wax I had around......maybe that helped as well. In any case, it's still as shiny as day one.:D

Edit: Just saw the pics, Quick1. Thanks a lot, that helps me see the size differences. My wallet doesn't understand. :-(

Mine didn't tarnish for a good while. Then it tarnished pretty quickly. First it was only a haze and only noticeable under certain light. Then it tarnished a lot but, oddly enough, all on the bottom and hardly at all on the top. Polish. Little better and then right back. Finally got some light rubbing compound, used some elbow grease, followed up with Blue Magic polish, gel-gloss (or whatever), and it hasn't tarnished again for a long while. Maybe it was something I ate? :) After the rubbing compound the finish was simply stunning. Better than new.
