BB stock update, please

[Kelemvor]

Well, i suggested the BB to my wife very early. but now, where they are out of stock she fell in love with this thing.

Any chance they get restocked shortly ?

 

[Toby]

Yes - approx 1-2 weeks for BBs; and also finally the BB Passthrough too!
(see pic below)

The last batch has been generally delayed by Christmas....

And while we're talking BBs, let's talk 6v....

DO NOT TO USE UNPROTECTED batteries.

The BB was designed for using a protected 14500 3.7v battery only; although within the next month or so, we hope to have the lack of availability of protected CR2s, that actually have a good size capacity with proper PCB, resolved.
- So think safety first!

Mmmm...passthroughhhh

Very pleasant news about the protected RCR2's as well.

any chance for a new date on a BB restock? i knew some that like to start teir vaping with the bb soon.

 

[Toby]

I thought I'd only just gone out of stock Kelem!

I think about a couple of weeks; I'll see if Chad can pull some extra out of the bag....

Any heads up on dates... need a BB V soon.. ?

Ta very much

 

[Toby]

Yes there has been delay...

They're actually basically ready to go, just awaiting one last small component to arrive to make them complete (which might be delayed by Easter too).

I am estimating arrival here for BBs around 15 April.

Toby,
will these new BB accept 2 protected 3.0 volt batts?

thanks

 

[Toby]

The next batch of BBs will have the slightly longer bottom section, so that 2 x protected CR2 3v batteries will be able to be housed in the chamber.

But stacking batteries in series is a practice that we can not endorse or recommend, as it can increase the chance of battery failure. The BB was designed to take one 14500 3.7v protected battery only. But people were using non-protected CR2s, regardless of the advice given. So it was decided to make the bottom slightly longer so that the chamber can accommodate protected CR2s, if the user decides to use the device in this configuration.

A limited quantity of the new longer BB bottom section will also be available separately.

Toby,

is it dangerous to use 2x Ultrafire 3.6V 880mAh LC 16340 Protected CR123A for some 7.4v vaping?

 

[blue9]

hey all,

Could you use the Tenergy LiFePO4 Charger and Batteries with the BB.. I have heard they are safer?

Tenergy RCR123A 3.0V 750mAh batteries

Tenergy RCR123A 3.0V 750mAh batteries

They are indeed safer than unprotected batteries, but will not fit in the BB.
They fit in the Silver Bullet.

I am not familiar with this type of battery, so can't really comment, except that if they are CR123A, they will not fit in the BB.
And as I stated previously -

Stacking batteries in series is a practice that we can not endorse or recommend, as it can increase the chance of battery failure. The BB was designed to take one 14500 3.7v protected battery only.

But people will do it anyway; and so the bottom section has been extended slightly, so that protected CR2s will now fit in.
