I think part of the problem is that there's a limited market for Provaris. People who know what they are and like them probably already have some. They sell quite slowly. There are some collectors out there, they want them in A1 condition which yours are.

I've seen scratched up painted ones go for $30. And some that sat on classified and never sold. Bet you would get a good price for that Goldie. I got one of them not so long ago, never used. Paid $120 on Ebay after looking for a long time, and that wasn't a flat top.

I think you are going to need to be patient. Good luck.

That’s what I paid and more for the engraved ones. I’ll post them and won’t expect a quick sale. I’m going to have the same issue with some of the duplicate stabwoods I have as well. I may throw in a few moderately priced kits just for the heck of it.

Pigs how are you liking that kayfun rba in the BB? I got one but haven't built mine yet.

We got a GE set that was on sale at Home Depot. I don't remember the model numbers but I can get them if you want to know.

No, I always lean towards GE too and probably will buy GE when time is here

Good morning shiny people. I got my voopoo reviews posted last night but got two more samples in the mail yesterday so I’m back up to three to do.

Mine's an SXK clone. I really like it. The af is super smooth and flavour is great. I can get a satisfying vape with a tighter draw/lower wattage than any of my other rbas.

Greetings Shinies. I hope you're all doing great.
I'm a little busy so I have to go again.
Enjoy!

Baby Bonnie looks like a tough little customer

Looks like she's scolding Ange doesn't she. Lol

Good Morning Shiny People

She definitely has inherited Meredith's grumpy face.

@Pigs you did an awesome job with your BB!!!

Just a thought, and perhaps an idea for you to consider...

My Tek Division SBS has a DNA60, they designed it with no USB connection on the body, for aesthetic reasons no doubt. They included a sealed USB board for connecting to Escribe. They soldered-in a 5 pin male connector on the USB board.

To me, it looks like TD sealed the USB board in some clear silicone (not sure???). Maybe some kind of shrink wrap??? They did a very tidy job of sealing the board.

TD soldered-in a small 5 pin connector on the DNA60 board (as seen above).

When I needed to connect to Escribe, which is rare once I've set it up, I simply connect the USB board and it's set.

Perhaps you can fashion something like that for your BB? Just a thought Mate.

ETA: Looking around, I see there are several different kinds of clear shrink wraps (tubing) that would also work to seal the USB board. Whatever TD used has a thickness of 1mm.

Good afternoon EveryOne.......

No new Shiny gear, none planned atm, although as we all know, that could always change in a jiff!!!

What an incredible animal.
Dies to protect the colony without hesitation. Navigation systems Google would murder for and never an argument between individuals in achieving an aim.
Without bees, most of the world's agriculture would be dust. Honey a bonus for us.
We'll probably appreciate pthem when they're gone.

I agree.
When they entered my window wall, the whole bee swarm with the queen, I contacted beekeepers to save them.
Since no beekeepers had bees in my valley anymore, the swarm must have come from the neighboring valley. Then the beekeeper was obliged to kill my swarm due to the risk of bee disease.
We probably wouldn't have gotten the swarm out anyway, but that's why I had to eliminate them.

I learned a lot about bees that day.

Couldn't wait - dived in and finished the wiring. All working.

All other wiring finished and ready to close up. Fingers crossed

Job done for now. It's gaudy but fun. I'll be tinkering with the look for a while no doubt

It turned out great. Solid soldering also T.

I've the same experience as T, it is very smooth, I use the complex chamber and net tobacco.
In terms of flavor and that, it's the best RBA I have, and it's not far from being the best Kayfun I have, it's been a long time since I used Prime so it had to be the only one.
I'm not looking away from that Kayfun BB also has a higher ml cap compared to the others I have, who is Vapesnail and Monarchy M2.

What I don't like about the Kayfun BB is that Bell has screwed on the threads, and the 510 adapter could have had a rough outer diam.
SvoeMesto could possibly make a small key for AF adjustment, I think it is clearing enough for key adjustment.

It's absolutely gorgeous, love the whole way it's put together, it's busy, but busy in a nice way.
The ODB wrap also comes into play, and the Kayfun BB also fits in very nicely.
Well put together T.

Thanks Tor. I decided to make the most of the colours and have some fun.
The hand feel is a surprise bonus - the chassis a little thinner and the rocker switch (direct instead of an extended fire button) is lower than a regular BB.

Next I plan to dive in and fix my 2019 Piebald BB. Currently in bits. I probably have enough spares now if the board isn't fried.

I would love a simple solution like the Tek Division extender!
If someone came up with a retro fit extender like that for authentic (and other non usb connected) BBs they'd be popular for sure.
@ShamrockPat posted a useful option with soldering at the usb pcb end and tinned wires to connect to the DNA 60 for temporary escribe connection
