Considering a sb...

[iamtumus]

i have a provari...and a buzz pro...and an ipro on the way...but i love the aesthetics of the silver bullet, and i want a fixed voltage to drip on, because i really don't think i need vv most of the time.
should i pull the trigger?

 

[Imperator]

If that's your requirement, then why not? Any of the altsmoke mods would be suitable.

The Silver Bullet can also be set at 6v with two rcr123a batteries. I don't know why it's not advertised on the AltSmoke site, as the versatility of voltage options seems like it would be a good selling point?

A Silver Bullet with a Kick might be the best set up ever. Set it and forget it.... Plus it's just dead sexy!

 

[iamtumus]

well i just want an all mechanical mod...
and i can't decide between the SB and the legacy.

I have a SB and I've owned a Legacy. The Legacy is a fine mod, but the SB is a classic. Great feel in the hand. Tough as a Sherman Tank and the button is the best in the business. Every vaper should have a SB in their arsenal! Plus, Altsmoke's service cannot be beat.

 

[cubfanthad]

Skyycamel is right.... Everyone should have one, those that have them and sell them end up regretting it and getting another. I have had mine for about a year and a half and it works and looks just like the day I got it. It's my main PV... Prob the best vaping item I have ever bought. There is a reason so many of us have one.

 

[iamtumus]

i just don't know... i like bottom buttons more generally :\
but i like the aesthetics of the sb much more...without a penelope on it, the legacy is just ugly.

My current family: Provari, Silver Bullet, and BB.

I've had both the SB and BB for about four months, my first big battery mods. Great devices. Altsmoke provides excellent customer service.

Just got the blue Provari today as I wanted variable voltage and didn't want to use a Kick and tube extender on the Bullet. With the Provari, I can change voltage at the touch of a button, as opposed to taking out the battery/Kick from the SB and turning the voltage adjustment screw on the Kick with a screwdriver.

The tank on the SB is a 7ml Triple V pyrex tank from Valley View Vapes. The tank on the BB in the first pic is a customized tank I put together; acrylic Bella Ellegance endcaps from Hoosier Vapes with a Phiniac clear pyrex tube with color sandblasting design. The tank on the BB in the second pic is what was left over from those two tanks. Pro V Cartomator on the Provari.

Then why not the altsmoke Omega?

+1 on the Omega or the Legacy if you want an all mechanical mod. i LOVE my kicked SB, but the switch is wired.

PSA -- I mentioned using two rcr123a batts for 6v vaping, but I better retract that since I just noticed AltSmoke actually advises against stacking batteries.

Anyway, here's my current SB line up plus a BAM and a BombShell:

 

[durgidog]

have you looked at the Precise Plus 18650? gorgeous.

 

[Fiamma]

I have 6 Silver Bullets now and I love them all It's a classic mod. For straight voltage at 3.7 or with a kick they all do well

Those are nice, wouldn't mind one. Megalodon's are nice too but it looks like they're no longer being manufactured.

My original Silver Bullet, Purple BB and Purple Silver Bullet. The Bullet's are sporting Jonboy Magma Tanks (Bronze & Violet and Purple & Black), while the BB has an Original Jonboy Lava Tank (in Magenta Bliss). The Old Glory is also a Lava Tank.

Nice choice. My BB hits as hard as my SB, and is as durable and as finely machined, too.

With the BB being so small, it is tempting to put it into a pocket when not in use. Probably not a huge issue, but also be aware that the firing button protrudes, or buldges, away from the battery tube enough that it could accidentally fire if the pocket is tight enough. It happened to me once, when I put both the SB and BB into a pants pocket in my locker at work.

I'd done that innumerable times before and hadn't had a problem. But one day I reached for the BB in the pants pocket during a break and it was too hot to handle. I pulled my hand away and my fingers had a powdery black sooty substance all over them. Then I noticed a burnt smell in the air.

The BB's horned power switch had been compressed by the SB, and fired the battery until it had a thermal runaway and vented itself thru the BB's switch. Completely user error, unsafe mod usage on my part. Learned my lesson well. Good thing is the BB did what it was supposed to do: It vented the gases from the battery and contained any potential explosion. After an internal and external clean up of the black sooty material, it continued to work for a few days with a new battery. At that point the switch failed and had to be re-worked by Chad at AltSmoke. It's as good as new now.
