I'm having a strong urge to get something new. I've got volts and an eGo twist for now. I've been looking a lot at the SB, I like the look of it. With as fast as things change though I'm wondering if it's still a viable product. It is, after all just a tube mod.

I'm drawn to the fact that it's made in the USA. And also that the next time I get the urge to get something new I can just drop a kick in it.

I'll likely be putting a vivi nova on it most of the time. And attys to drip test new juices.

Should I pull the trigger on the bullet or is there something else I should check out? I know I'll get pointed to the provari but for some reason I'm just not that interested in it.

It is more than viable. I have the BB (smaller version of the SB). They are very well made, and will last you longer than anything else you have.

Even not being vv isn't an issue anymore, as if you get an SB and decide you want to be able to have vw you can use the kick in it.

The build quality is top notch. You don't have to take anyone's word on that either, just look for negative comments about them, while I won't say you won't find any, you would be hard pressed to find any.

Now while the BB can't take the kick, it and the vivi nova with lr heads is what was enough to get me off cigs. I have no regrets having spent the money on one.

I've had my SB for about 1 1/2 years and it has never given a lick of trouble even though I use it pretty much all day, every day. The SB is also half the cost of a Provari V2. If you know how to match atty resistance to voltage you'll get excellent performance from a fixed voltage device. I run 510 1.5 and 901 1.7 ohm LR's on my SB and have no complaints. I've thought about getting a Kick, but I really don't feel the need since I'm getting exactly what I want out of my SB without it.

The Silver Bullet may not be as technologically advanced as some variable voltage mods, but it has earned a great reputation for quality and reliability. It's more a about a great combination of style and functionality than anything else. Even though unregulated mods may seem like old technology, the wide variety of cartomizers, tanks and atomizers available now mean that you have more options than ever.

I have a BB and a (Silver) Silver Bullet and they are in constant use! Though I have several other mods, both home made and store bought, I will never be without these two PVs.
I've said it before... Archeologists could dig these up 100 years from now, throw in a new battery and Vape! I don't think you can say that about other-fancy-shmancy Pvs with all their bells and whistles.
Oh! And did I mention it comes in silver (well chrome, actually), and looks as well as it works?

Yeah, the chrome one is the one I'm after!

I never vaped before and all most got the silver bullet. (if i wasnt on a huge budget i would of got that too) My system should be in later this week. For me but it was bit too much cash for something i dont understand completely, but it caught my eye for a later purchase .... what is a BB?

BB is the Baby Bullet, a smaller version of the SB and takes a 14500 battery.

Another happy SB user here....

I have been waiting on a run of Alphas to complete, so I have a 14500 Altsmoke device as well.
In the mean time I picked up a cheap box mod.

It has shown me that 3.7V devices don't always hit the same.
I think the copper spring may be one of the reasons the SB hits so hard using 1.7 ohm cartos and attys....

I received my Silver Bullet today with two of the 3100mAh AW 18650's that altsmoke had as a drop down option on the ordering page. Charged 'em up and slapped my vivi nova on it.

Awesome!

Unfortunately, my last 1.8ohm head died just before I got the Silver Bullet. The 2.4 is good but I can't wait to try it with a lower ohm delivery.

Thanks for everyone's input in helping me decide to get it.

I LOVE the Bullet! I have one of them and also one of the Omega's as well. Honestly I like the Omega more but ONLY because it is a mechanical device and I work in the TX heat all day long so I don't have to worry about ruining circuitry in the APV itself. But the Silver Bullet is still a proven device that i would recommend to ANYBODY any day of the week.
