Just got my Bombshell in the mail today. Placed my order over the phone and five days later it's in my hand, considering the two days we didnt have mail that to me is great!!! I won't revisit my customer service experience with these guys but it is def a A+.

Initial thoughts: Came packaged with care wrapped and taped with foam type packaging material for safe transport. Time also must have remembered me telling him about me not every trying fruit flavored juices yet so he threw in a couple samples as well which I always think is very cool. Picking it up it's got a little weight to it. I bought the motobyke silver color and it's been polished very well. I can see a few machine marks on the top of it where it unscrews to place the battery in but upon feeling it there is not a single flaw or blemish in it's finish. When screwing and unscrewing the top it is very smooth, no catching on the threads and locks up tightly with ease. There is a small hole drilled in the bottom which assume is a vent for the battery. It also looks like the 510 battery connector has a hole in it but am not 100% sure if it might be soldered closed. The fact that it is silver with the brass connector and brass recessed button gives it a sharp contrast and sexy look. It stands alone by itself. On its side if you roll it it won't hit the button making me believe that I wont have to worry about accidental ignition of the switch.

I usually vape with 902's so I had to place an order for a 510 atty. Unfortunately for me I dont have a cart that fits it. But Wait... my 902 atty's work on 510 battery connectors Jackpot!!!!!!

So I threw in a freshly charged Trustfire 18650 2400mAh protected Li Ion Battery, a clean 902 on with a freshly lipton pyramid mod cartridge and pulled out the 24mg 555 Lite I bought with my order. Primed my Atty and.....

Let me tell you something, this is my first Big Battery Mod, I expected it to have some power but never expected this..This sucker Vapes. I dripped a couple drops into my atty threw on a full clean fresh 510 cart and ripped it.

i wont go into flavor because this is an equipment review (it was what I expected out of 555) so I'll just talk about vapor production and Throat Hit.

Vapor Production: Holy Vapor!!!! This thing really puts it out there. It was definitely warmer than what Im used to but also something I expected and was looking for when I purchased this. I am taking rips while typing this and its a good thing I can type because for a couple seconds after I exhale I can't see my laptop screen.

Throat Hit: Again, incredible, I actually have to be careful or it makes me cough. I have adopted a deep lung inhale when vaping some of my other PV's when I'm looking for that throat hit. not with this though. I am guaranteed a coughing fit if I do this. I just pull the Vapor into my mouth and then inhale and the Throat Hit is phenomenal!!!

Concluding Thoughts: I am very happy with this purchase. For affordability, style, design, size and performance it's a homerun. I don't have the knowledge to compare this Mod to any other one as it's my first Big Battery, however, it exceeded all of my expectations and would recommend it to anyone looking to purchase their first BB Mod. Home Run for Tim and the Crew over at Hot Vapes.

Stay Tuned and Check out the liquid reviews in the next coming days for my reviews of HotVapes Big Heart Flavor Juices!!!!

So far I have been to 3 meetings and they are a lot of fun! They have a lot of juices that you can test and the people their are great! Great conversations, comfortable environment to vape in, a wonderful social experience! Plus the vendors that come discount their products so you can get attys, juices etc, cheaper then on the web sites!

The Bombshell looks superb with a superb price tag :) I hope to be getting one soon.

Regards.

It's a great mod, actually I bring it everywhere with me, I use trustfire 18650's with a rating of 2400mAh and it last all day.
I've being using clouds of Vapor 2.8ohm clearomizers on it and it's a great set-up.

The Bombshell was my first Big Battery Mod and still love it. I got it in the silver. Tim at HotVapes is a great guy and he told me he's gonna have some different atty's available soon.

I did a lot of research on BB mods before I purchased one and the Bombshell was for me the best. Affordability, Durability and ability to vape at 3.7 or 6V is great. I guess you could even Vape at 7.4 if you wanted to however it's not for me. Way too hot!!

you can't beat it for the price, the only weak link is the flimsy button, but it's my everyday vaper at Castle Vapenstein and I am very happy with mine

I do have concerns with the brass atty connector. If you wore it out it would mean a new unit, as there is no easy or cheap way to replace what I'm guessing is a press-fit connector. Certainly there is a harder metal than brass that mod makers can use for atty connections?

These are petty gripes on what is a fantastic $60 mod.
