Yes sir! Got incoming tracking updates already, so I'm super stoked to join the LBC Jr. owners club this weekend. [emoji106]

LBC Jr. arrived yesterday morning about 9:15 AM but busy Christmas shopping day didn't allow me to finally work with it until today.
I see what you guys have been saying about how well it fits in hand, and how ridiculously lightweight it is. Especially after using LBC200s exclusively for over a year.
Tom, it was a fantastic idea to round off that one back edge for added comfort! [emoji106]
Threw on a Ch-O-Atty and looking mighty fine!

The Sanyo batteries charge just fine in my existing Xtar charger, and they fit perfectly in the old zipper battery cases I had lying around.

Looks like the screen is out of its notch. The screen should be recessed 1/32” from the faceand tight to the faceplate. Suggest wiggling it with silicone tape while squeezing the faceplate inwards. Could just be the way the camera caught the screen however. The screen should sit exactly like the LBC 200.LBC Jr. arrived yesterday morning about 9:15 AM but busy Christmas shopping day didn't allow me to finally work with it until today.

I’m not sure how many of you noticed the clear blue mod shell that was posted along with pics of the red 20700 batteries. The blue body was made of this new material that I was sure was going to be a contender for future mods.... well that’s a big ole’ fail.... evedently a material called “Tough” is nowhere near tough enough to be called an LBC. Wanna see what 2 hours and $142 worth of fail looks like?

Thanks man, it's just the camera angle/shadows. Screen is set just right, but I recall you mentioned the same fix in a pic I posted a good while back.
Love the black Ultem buttons for the full murdered out look BTW. Really appreciate you taking the extra time to make those. When/if time comes you sell extra sets, thinking they'd look really cool on my neon LBC200 so I'd snag a set too. They look to be the same size.

Still trying to figure out exactly what this atty is on top? Whatever it is, looks smaller than 22mm in the pic. Love the black/Ultem colors.

It’s a nuppin V2 with a custom made ultem cap (not by me but another member on here). I think it’s an 18mm atty.

Gotcha! Not the first time I've asked about one of those atties.

Excellent atty, I’d highly suggest getting one if you can. Only down fall is they aren’t made anymore and when I see them pop up it’s usually attached to a fairly pricey mod.
They certainly look the part for sure, and have the excellent flavor reputation! Looks to have pretty good airflow/chamber size ratio.
With the stock top cap on the air flow is adjustable and can do single coils if you like.
On that note, has anyone found anything new in the atty world that work well as BF atty? The last several months I've been steadily using DPro atties on my LBC200s. They are an airflow upgrade from the O-Atty and have been working out quite well, though have a slight deficiency in juice well. To me, they look too large on the LBC Jr. and make it top heavy. 
On to the new LBC Jr., the O-Atty looks nice but not sure I'm gonna be able to deal with the reduced airflow. Tried the Wasp Nano RDA just a bit ago and liking it much better. Haven't dragged out the Stumpy yet for it but probably tomorrow night. Was just wondering if you guys have found any new interesting atties that might go well with a Jr.

No, when tapping the brass inserts into the board mount bosses the face of the mod cracked before the insert was fully pressed in. It was thrown at the concrete wall at that point and it exploded into a pile of blue shrapnel. The same throw was done to a cf (standard body) and zero damage. Hopefully you will never have to find out just how tough the LBC jr really is. I have tried and failed to do any more than dent it which was sanded out quickly. If I had to give a quantitative estimate of strength of “Tough” vs Carbon fiber/nylon I would put “Tough” at no more than 20% of the strength of the carbon material, maybe less. Mind you this Failure was when driving a 3/32” brass, knurled insert into a 3/32” milled hole; the hole was a perfect bore only undersized for the actual knurling. We never even got to the 510 installation which can be a bit challenging on the shell. I have no doubt 510 installation would have been catastrophic. The Carbon Fiber laughs at the challenge.
