So...BB Thoughts?

[halopunker]

What do you think so far?

There was only a handful of people that received theirs today (11/25), but figured I'd make this thread for those to give their feedback when they received their unit's as well.

Here's hoping people enjoy em

I already posted in another thread of yours here, but it might get lost and now I just saw this thread. So here it is again.

My BB came today guys. It seriously is a top notch, clean, quality device. I see now why that one dude could not say if he liked the BB or the Protege better because honestly, they are very different from one another. Since this is the Alt Smoke board, I'll talk about my impressions of the BB. I got the smooth. This device is just pure smooth class is what it is. Love the way it unscrews in the center and like butter. LOVE the button and the mechanical button. Love the way the atomizer screws on and you see no gaps. Vapes great. Gosh, I don't know what else to say, but it definitely, definitely is a winner. It's about the size I thought it would be. I have small hands. It's larger than the protege like a bit fatter, but it feels nice and comfortable in the hand. I'm really going to just give this an A+ due to simplicity, class, quality - period.

I need to add one more thing. The Screw driver doesn't hold a candle to the BB. The SD has that crappy end button and a cheesy little spring.

My BB finally came home to me today. I could hardly wait to try 6 volts...

All I have to say is it kicks a**!!!!!!!!

It is also nice and smooth at 3.7 volts as well.

Great product......

 

[LuckySevens4U]

Which brand battery 14500 are you using and where did you buy it from? There is a reason I'm asking.

 

[tesla4me]

I use Tenergy Lith-Ion Batteries (Non-Protected -- Rated at 3.7v - 900mAh)

I bought them from PS when I purchased my Protege.

I also use UltraFire (Protected -- Rated at 3.6v - 900mAh)

I bought them from BatteryJunction

 

[LuckySevens4U]

hmmmmmm I wonder if the ultra fire are better than the trust fire?

hmmmmmm I wonder if the ultra fire are better than the trust fire?

they're certainly sexier in silver

Got it, thanks for the extremely quick shipping. It is one classy looking piece, I was doing a SB vs BB when the 24 hr bug set in. So far this morning the BB is just as tough as the SB, if there is any diff in hit and vapor, it's minor. I know bigger is better but the BB is just as good. This was a gift, but now I'm thinking maybe she'll like something else.

 

[LuckySevens4U]

The BB is EXTREMELY nice guys.

My 2 BB brothers came yesterday (one of each)

Can't add much to what lucky7s4U said. I agree that from a look and feel point of view the BB is differnt than it's silver cousin but really they are the same type of PV mod and will be used in the same way (except of course for the cr2 advantage) . THe BB is your daily, carry around, fit in your pocket use always VP.

The smooth is just pure class like lucky7 said. It would be the VP to go with your black tie event. On the other hand I am really liking the crinkle. It is the one I am using now and for some just says please pick me up!!

I mostly am a lurker and don't post much but I really just wanted to gloat a little...
to all who are waiting hold tight it is well worth the wait...

happy T-day
Rick

Got mine today and I'm very pleased. I also have a SB but from now on the BB will be the one that goes with me everywhere and the SB will be on the table beside my recliner. Both of these units are built with pure QUALITY and nothing less. All I'll ever need now is attys and liquid and maybe a pass through.

Congrats Rob and Chad;
Got mine today, works just as I thought it would, Great. The batteries charged in about 2 hours( a welcome time shortening from the 18650 for the SB). It smokes just like the SB(awesomely), looks beautiful(I choose smooth) and gives the Protege a run for it's money in terms of size(meaning small enough to conceal in the palm of your hand easily). Haven't had it long enough to comment on battery life, but knowing a normal 900mAh 14500, I'm thinking a nice long whole day of vaping. The switch is smooth, however, you really do have to push it ALL the way down(with a small bit of umph) to get it to fire(I'm assuming that is a safety feature so it doesn't go off in your pocket, since it isn't scalloped like the SB). NOW I JUST NEED THE PASSTHRU, NEED THE PASSHTRU, NEED THE PASSHTRU. When, oh when, will the passthru be available. Oh when , oh when, will it be.

1st battery now died after 1/2 hour of use(reading 3.1V on my multimeter-which means it's shot); sent you an email and left message on ur VM.

In the next few days, hopefully shipping out wed next week.

I received my BB today. I am very impressed with the look, size, and weight of the unit. I had a little issue with it at first. It wasn't giving a very good hit and vapor production was less than impressive. I ruled out the atomizer being the problem so i tried removing the spring in the bottom of the unit and stretched it out just a little. Re-installed everything and it now seems to be working as expected. Other than that issue, very nice work boys.

Came home from being out all night from Black Friday shopping to find the BB on my desk. Tore open the box and begin hitting the thing right away. All I can say is wow, this thing is awesome. I am so glad I don't have to waste my time anymore with 510 batteries dying out all the time. I really want to give this baby a whirl at 6volts, but still not sure on what batteries to get. All in all I am greatly pleased. Thinking of getting a nice pouch to put it in now

 

[Lucian1215]

My GF and I received our BB's on Wed and we both think they are awesome!
I also have a SB and am thinking I will try that at 6v and keep the BB at 3.7.
The BB is great for out and about, it is so light! and with 2 hours charge time for 8-10 hours use is great. I have the Krinkle finish and as it puts out zero reflections from bright lights, it is awesome for stealthing in night clubs.

Very very happy!

OK, just got my BB batts fully charged and its vaping like a champ! dont know if its just because its new and the new batts really rock, but I never got this much vapor on the SB on 3.7v. its just blowin my mind!!!8-o8-o8-o

now I also got some regular CR2 batts at walmart for 6V and they work but from my perspective they dont last long at all. maybe its just me but after about 10 min of use they are producing the same vapor that the 14500 batts are!

does anybody know the mah rating of regular CR2's? I know they are not protected but I did it anyway! I vaped the crap out of them for those 10 min and I kept checking the heat of the atty, the BB itself and occasionally opened up the BB to check the batts themselves. there was nothing out of the ordinary so I assume if i get some higher mah rating batts it should last a lot longer.

oh well, that is just my opinion. but regardless I am really Loving the BB!

size is smaller than i imagined which is a plus for me. I tried out my 510, 901 and 401 attys (a special thanks to Rob for the 401 adapter). the 510 and 901 are really putting out great vapor. I'm still out on the 401's as they have not been in use since I got my SB so i think they need a good cleaning and will work really well. the BB itself looks amazing, the switch is not a hassle to press with either thumb of fore finger. even with the 901 atty and batt the BB is really light as hell. when i got my package the box felt empty! it looks really good with the 510 and compact. the batteries took less than 2 hours to go green on the charger and have been working great for the last hour of heavy, I say again HEAVY vaping!

I love the fact that the atty connector is stainless steel (i think) and not the brass color like my SB. and at the bottom of it there is no hole so it looks sealed and done really well.

All in all it it just a really great unit and I am stoked to have it along with my SB! Altsmoke has really out done themselves, thanks a million!!!

Don't get me wrong, I do love the super shiny silver, I think I'll just try and buy a BSB....I'm sure you and Rob wont mind that at all!!!!
