Paint Loss

Hmmm, I like that. My guess is that before it's all said and done he'll have one of each! It's a worthy investment.

I must say I'm surprised at the silver button instead of a black one.

Trust me, the black switch in this style looked rather dull and off with this finish. Not to mention the crazy MOQ for the black switches. I don't think people would be willing to pay an additional $15 for a different color switch

I can understand that.

My response would be that I've already spent a TON of money on this vaping stuff so what's another $15. Besides, that puts me into the free shipping category! Not only that BUT there's only one other Silver Bullet in town and definitely not a BSB or Silver Vein. Having the only one of any of them with a black switch...AW YEAH!

LOL, Hubby just contributed $50 of his birthday money to the "Get Randy a BSB" fund! All I need now is another $50 for the BSB and two more batteries.

I did not take it that way at all Just figured I would explain it a bit. Sorry if it seemed grumpy, my shoulder is bothering me a good bit. Text is so hard to read mood

You can work that CNC machine with the other arm just fine right? lol

That silver switch is the SB trademark. Big mistake to put anything else on there.


so... how's that silver vein Omega BB coming along?

I don't think the nic content has anything to do with the paint. I use 26 - 36 mg. never less than 26 and I prefer 32. Almost exclusively VG. Only tried PG a couple of times. I only did about 30ml of AC (and lost the taste for it) but that seems to have melted a lot of different things . Both my black BB and SB are pretty much still flawless around the connectors. The BB has some almost imperceptible chips around the connector but I think it came that way. I just assumed it was from pressing the connector in there. Cosmetic damage has occured elsewhere from dropping them in the parking lot...

Is that additional $15 without meeting MOQ? If nobody's ever done it, I'd pay that to have the first/only all-black BSB.

+1 on that. But as they say, there's no accounting for taste. A few of us go for the black-everything Johnny Cash mystique.

I have both the BSB and BB. BSB for at home glued to lips and BB for on the go.
The BSB was a bit banged up when I got it (dings on bottom) and a bit of the finish worn around the button (edge of bevel). There is just a bit of of body metal showing at the atty but not much. The BB was in perfect shape and still is. I do baby it and use a belt case so it does not go in pocket with the keys.

My only minor issue is that when attys leak (especially 801 with adaptor) I really would like a juice well to catch the excess. I have been thinking of trying to find a local machine shop that could cut one into the top of the BSB. That it would ruin the powder coat is what has been stopping me. I imagine if the coat is breached, it will just flake off from there.

I know I saw it somewhere, but why not offer anodizing? Other devices use it to good advantage. I would love to have both a clear anodized and a black SB/BB.
