My silver bullet needs a vent hole STAT. Will AltSmoke put one in it?

[bmwjen]

Apparently there is a vent hole on the under side of the switch.........I've taken the top off as instructed, blown in it & it's airtight. My husband also tested it & it's airtight. Neither of us is noticing ANY sort of vent holes on the under side of the switch. I encourage ALL of you SB owners to take the top off the SB & try blowing in it........if it's airtight.......then there really is NOWHERE for that battery to blow. (I do notice there is a hole in the black area before you reach the switch......but this will NOT allow any battery to vent.) My husband is currently drilling 4 vent holes near the bottom of the SB so that if something happens the ventilation will be equal in all directions. Please check your mods.

They are supposed to vent through a gap around the switch, but I don't get much from blowing through the tube. It may be a beautiful design, but I think a few minutes with the drill press would bring peace of mind!

Hey four-forty missed you Yeah, I saw the other post on this forum & the area for the switch is airtight. The husband has the SB in the vice at the moment, DeWalt in hand.

Aluminum's soft - you'll have it back in a minute!

While it is fine if you choose to drill into your SB, I do not think where you put them may be ideal. Your hand could be blocking the vents when you are using it.

Watching how you were blowing looks like you need to blow better. I'm sure you can blow better than that. My SB you can literally hear the air coming out of the switch hole.

 

[bmwjen]

oh trust me..........I can blow...... In my SB, no air was coming through the top hole at all. I also had my husband try it. He has never smoked a day in his life, so I thought his lungs were better than mine. Just for kicks, I also had my 12 year old son try it. All 3 of us confirmed that it was air tight.

I would like you to send that top to me to take a look at it. There has to be something blocking that vent if you can not blow through it. As some members have demonized vendors and manufacturers for being in it for a quick buck, I am in it for the long haul, been doing this for almost 3 years and built over 10,000 SB. I can assure you that my customers saftey and satisfaction are number one to me, after my health and family that is

I may just see if I can make it down to a houston meet sometime. If I do I would like to blow on yours and see how tight it is.

Not sure if I should LOL on this or not

Tested my SB passed, no effort required. Thanks for the superior product. Jen might have a fluke here.

decent drill bit would work just fine. Put tape on the unit before drilling and do your best to keep it centered. After drilling, you can use clear finger nail polish to seal up the bare spot that you drilled.

FYI, I just checked and my hand doesn't cover the vent holes in the SB. Also, anyone & everyone, vaper, non-vaper, smoker or not are welcome at the Houston Vape Meets. We have decided to meet the 2nd Saturday of each month. So PLEASE come blow on mine I have never & will never demonize any specific vendor. It's just with the recent situations, I had my husband go over all of my ecig mods to make sure that they were in fact safe & we realized that we couldn't find a way for the SB to vent. Another thing I did to improve my safety was to order a new charger for my batteries, as one of the lights was sorta funky. It lit up green when charged, but was completely off when a battery was charging. I'm just trying to keep my ecig stuff on the safe side. No worries Cddz, I've got my SB well vented now. I am well aware that the SB is a more popular mod, and even more, a more popular starter mod. I am sure that you are in it for your customer's safety as well as your family's. Please folks do not take this as demonizing Alt Smoke at all. I am a native Ohioan, even graduated from OSU, so I do know that only the very BEST come from OHIO!!

nice, thanks, & come on down

The beauty of the design of the SB is that you cannot see the vent holes, but they are there and they work just as they are supposed to. If you feel the need to alter your device, that's fine, but be careful; you could cause the paint to chip.

LOL
Please do not think that I thought you were demonizing. Times like these have all of the manufactures on edge, a lot of folks come from no where to stir it up. Some folks like to be able to see things to know they are there . Maybe I should start putting vents in the bottom like the Omega..... I would still leave the top vented as it is as well though.

 

[tybin]

i would love that

Even more of a reason to get to a houston vape meet. I'll let you know ahead of time that I will be there. It will be a pleasure to blow yours . If you are really worried about it maybe you should send it back to CDDZ to find out what is going on with it.
