I didn't want two red ones either, but dang... they had that 15% off sale that one weekend so I ended up with two red ones. But it's not so bad since I also bought different panels. :D

You could all ways get a real fancy leather case, Would hide up that red :)

Leather Billetbox Case - Dark Red / Grey Stitching

vaping Art has some nice stuff! Not cheap thou :(

Well not really. While they list 2 colors, selecting either one and putting it in your cart you get:

Which a few days ago, I ordered a black one from there. Plus at Legend, shipping is about $6.50 minimum.

I don't get that Bill, it shows Black in-stock Shipping is $5, but its an extra 2 or 3 at FT
So $95 or $112 all most $20 less :)

Nice, but hide the red color with red leather? :blink:

You're right, I refreshed the page and now it works. And the shipping price dropped too. ;)

It looks like Legend has them ready to ship, FT does not..........or maybe not
I just checked and I ordered a black one at Legend on the 22nd and they show it shipped the 23rd. They used to have just black and brown. But now they have black and gold. Oh man! Normally I don't like the color gold, but on a BB its different. BBV gold one is called Golden Nugget and its gorgeous and super rare. :D

Does this mean that you ordered another one?

Heading down to the workshop last night, I slid the BB into the shirt pocket. Or thought I did, straight drop to the laminate floor... Heard a piece go off in a different direction and said to myself "please let that be the drip tip..."

No such luck, a foot either way it would have landed on carpet.

Going to put a little CA on it to hold and see if I can get another button door from Albert. I doubt he will just sell me just the one side and they are $45 for the pair. :(

Other than that there is not a single mark on the BB, this is why I can't have nice things. :glare:

Cant like that! :( I feel your pain, I had one of my stab wood doors warp! Humidity? or lack there of? I put it under a clamp for a whole week, no improvement :( I soaked it with water & Clamped it again, it cracked :( It's not that noticeable, but it's there :( I'v had my share of bad luck with the stab wood :( I have a ton of other mods, nothin ever happens to them! No, it's the expensive ones that get flawed! Just My luck :(

On a more positive note, it looks like your panel can be repaired :)

Stabwood is a no for me, the first week there would be a deep scratch or crack in it, wouldn't matter how careful I was. I have a black WeeLeaf Pico that I've had for a few years with not a mark on it, two days with the Minikin V2 RAW and it has a small scuff mark on the back. :facepalm:

I managed to CA the corner back on perfectly except there was a little excess that got on the face... :glare: Another reason I hated making models as a kid, all my cars had no windows in them for that reason. :lol:

Contacted Albert about a replacement panel and they are all OOS, he said eventually there will be more and proceeded to point me towards those $75 G10 panels again... The guy is the TRVPMaster for a reason. ;)

Told him couldn't do it, and I'd just have to wait. Ten minutes later he offered me the G10 panels for $32 and they went in the cart. :thumbs:

You know Troll, I'm not a fan of stab wood :( When I was searching my priority was to see the Boro & the screen. My panels fit the bill.
Albert Has 2 kinds of acrylic panels the one's from CCM & the new curved ones :)
$40 & $75 respectively. IMO the Curved ones would be worth the extra money :)
It has to be a lot harder to make a curve in the acrylic? as opposed to just a flat panel like the one's I have :(
You know what sucks, is you jump in on some thing, like the SXK BB or the CCM panels & some thing better rolls down the line :(

Unfortunately both style of those clear ones are OOS. The curved would be sweet, the G10's are curved and don't allow you to view the screen but that's okay with me. I ran the Rose V2 and Kayfun 3.1 with steel tanks for the longest time and no TC, ;) Too bad SXK panels don't work with the authentic BB.

The things I could do with a Princess Auto Mini Milling machine and Lathe... :lol:

Um... I thought that was once true, but I thought SXK fixed this in later productions. Wasn't some of the magnets reversed earlier? And the SXK panels I see claims they fit the authentics and the SXK BB.
