Enabling the ability to render html also enables the ability to run html based exploits. Or can. It is a language after all. BB code just enhances text.
That makes sense :facepalm:.
BB has made it to just outside Chicago. UPS is projecting a Monday delivery. We’ll see if the long holiday weekend messes with that, but it’s getting closer :)

It's in the Chicago distribution hub. Everything from Canada comes through there. I got a BB from a friend in Ontario and it took a long time to get here even though I'm in Detroit less than a 4 hour drive from where he is.

I did some research and found out that every package shipped from Canada, from British Columbia to Newfoundland, enters the United States through the Chicago distribution hub. Not to be a downer and I hope not, but it could sit there for several days.

Seems the mail fairies are on my side this week lol. BB made it to Earth City,Mo. at 3 am.
First part of the BB puzzle is here!!!
Condensation plugs just got here from SkullKandy. I got upgraded to carbon x???? I’m taking his word that’s an upgrade....It’s been a loooong time since I’ve blindly bought vape gear with no idea what I’m doing. This BB is quite the adventure so far. They were a delight to deal with, definitely will get more business from me.

:thumbs: You ain't seen nuthin yet.

Very glad yours escaped the black hole of the Chicago hub so quickly.

Condensation plugs are one of those things that are not totally essential, but do serve a good purpose and can add some customization to the airflow too.

If it’s like the dotaio, it would bother me. One of mine is still misty inside, though it’s much better after replacing the gasket between the tank and dt. Before that it was flat out wet. Makes it officially my least favorite dot lol.
The extra tanks, orings and gaskets for the BB have “shipped” from China. Not expecting those to make much progress quickly. But, they’re not vital to getting the BB up and running, so no worries there.
BB has just departed Memphis! I’m expecting delays once it hits NOLA. Nothing is running like normal here. Still hopeful about getting it in my hands Monday

Well, to be honest, it's not unusual to get some condensation in the boro well with the BB. The plugs help with that.

ALOT depends on how well it's built and wicked. Also some rbas are more prone to leaking than others, but most of them can be tamed with some experimentation.

It's common when after it's been used for a while for the boro to kinda stick in the well with SOME condensation when you take it out. If it's been leaky, you might have to stick something in the top and push it out.

With my Xetas they fall out every time. I have that rba mastered. In this pic of my Rat Black, there's a single thickness piece of aluminum foil behind the clear boro to give it a kinda luminescent look in there. When I take it apart, the foil stays in the well and doesn't even stick to the boro. That's how dry it is.

i haven't been able to get to that level with any other rba, but I have gotten most of them to where it's a just a bit of moisture I wipe out of there and wipe down the boro when I rebuild it.

I am also glad the BB is not my style. I could see spending a fortune easily falling down that rabbit hole. They look very nice.

Exactly why I put it off for so long. Then I ran out of new rabbit holes lol. Only one way to find out if it’s my kind of thing or not. And if it’s not, plenty BB lovers out there to take it off my hands.

Very true. For me I'm more of a cloud chaser sooooo it's not for me. My Luna is what I use for small vaping. LOL! Good luck hunting rabbits!

Thanks lol. I should send you my luna. Poor thing is stored in a drawer to save it from the Louisiana weather. I have plenty mechs, and it’s never even been fired. I always grab the Armageddon instead.

Thanks for that but the Luna is too nice to just be stared at. I only use mine every once in a blue moon. They are very nice mods. It would make a nice gift to someone you like that would use it. I like my pipe bombs and explosive juice boxes.

not my style
My problem is, EVERYthing has become my style :confused:

I have found that I like everything from a pod like the Inifinix to carry around, to rocket engine tube stacks and EVERYthing in between.

I have all kinds of great mechs, all kinds of great regs, VV, AIOs, pods and every variety of atomizer from single mtl to broad and deep decked multi coil cloud machines.

Did not see that comin. For the longest time I just used dual battery regulated devices and dual coil rtas and rdas. Got away from drop in coils pretty early.

Honestly, for me? I'm a hobbyist. I never was a smoker. Always HATED cigarettes. I liked nicotine, but hated the delivery systems.

I like playing with the gear as much as I like vaping itself. That will put some people off, but that's like tough. I am a now 56 year old adult man. I don't owe anybody, least of all those parasites in DC a justification for that.

I still have one kind of drop in coil tank, Innokin zenith. Easier to take traveling than a build kit. Mechs I generally keep at home. I’m like you, but I kind of wish I didn’t like a variety. But I do. It’s just fun. Would have made it easier along the way to find one thing and stick, but boooo-ring for me at least. I do wish I’d kept some of my really early stuff. I do have my first provari and a couple of tube mechs I never could part with though. Everything else was bought 2012- present.

USPS delivers tomorrow. Maybe you'll get it tomorrow.
Stop getting my hopes up!!!!
But... Made me go check! It ran through the hub there just after noon. We’ll see. The UPS warehouse is right around the corner, so we’re usually the very end of the day on their way back to clock out.
