If you read the specs at Element... "Constructed from durable zinc-alloy ..."

The Double Barrel v3's were made from heavy duty stainless steel. Mine is quite heavy with the batteries installed and without. In fact, if I were to drop it on my bare foot it would break a toe or two. Pretty sure @NolaMel said something similar a couple years back.

My suspicion is that Eric Buss, founder of Squid Industries, sold Squid to some Chinese company.

Never on any Squid advertising would you ever have seen anything like the ChinoEnglish "Overtime smoking protection". :nah:

The display on that v4 looks just like another recent mods display. Can't put my finger on it ATM.

I would be be very suspicious if the new mod doesn't have the same very heavy duty build quality of the OG Double Barrel's. Also if the v4 doesn't have the same quality internals, heavy duty gauge wiring and components, like so...

Somewhere, I imagine Eric groaning at the looks of the v4.

The OG Double Barrel's were specifically designed to look like a double barrel shotgun.
It was previewed (including preproduction models) and presold on Squid Fb group by Eric before it went public, so I would think it’s still his “baby”. There’s been complaints about the weight of his mods since the beginning. Maybe the metal change was in response to that. I have a pile of DBs and don’t need another dual so I haven’t followed it. For what it’s worth, all mine have seen heavy use and still work perfectly.

Good morning shinies :wub:

Have a great day all!!

@Truckin Vaper I keep missing the drop and now BBV is migrating the website too. It's probably not a problem I suppose. They drop at around 16h30 Saturday, French time :)

That colour's gorgeous....
Go to billetboxinfo. It’s Chris Leckness’s page. He has some great tips for scoring one in the drops. Practice,practice,practice and then practice some more. Me and my son have been able to score 3 since March. A color like SLR usually last the longest during the drop. New colors or ones that haven’t been in the drop for some time are near impossible to get. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get one at first keep trying. Ever so often BBV will have a drop for first time buyers only. Those drops usually last a couple minutes instead of 20 seconds like most Saturday drops.

Glad to hear your hips less painful....time heals and I'm a great believer that your body heals itself.... :wub:
