Sorry guys, I copy and pasted the text to give you guys the run down on this great mod, for all the pictures and full review, please see the origional post on my blog
I recently have been on a mod browsing kick. Since I have been using dual coil cartos, I have found 3.7 volts to be more than enough, but most ego riva batteries dont work well on dual coils. So I wanted something small with long battery life. After a little searching I found a custom mod that had been around for a while, and looked like it was coming back on the market, The Bartleby a USB rechargeable box mod. No Charger required. Charges while in use. Uses one 14500 Li-Ion battery.
The wires are of a fairly thick gauge, all of the ends are covered and solid. The epoxy is thick too, a lot thicket than what is in my wetbox. The 14500 sits in there nice and snug, and I havent had any real heat from the box even under charge all day as a pass thru.
The usb charging and pass thru is what really sold me on this. I have a million mini usb cables laying around from phones and other electronics. I use a 4.5 ft cable at work all day and it is awesome. I havent changed the battery since I got it. The lights are flush in the box. The red light comes on when charging, the green during use, and both while doing both. When the battery is charged the light goes off. Im using a 600 mah battery and I get solid vapor even when its not been plugged in for a while. This is the most universal charger around, I have a car charger, short cables long cables and I am never with out a power source.
Over all I love this mod, its small, stealth, easy to charge, and its a freaking tank. This thing is heavy duty, for the price you get a box with heavy duty parts and construction of mods twice the price. If I could get a feeder box with the same construction I would probably never use anything else. Im still waiting on the beta VVPV from notcigs.com its all that and variable voltage, so keep your eyes out for that in the near future. For now the bartleby is a SOLID usb charger box mod for 50$ . Last I read they were available for order again, so for more info and ordering see eboxmods, and tell him Atari sent you lol. Thanks for reading

Nothing special about the box itself, lightly textured black plastic 2AA box. The switch is a nice fat 12 volt 5 amp switch., it handles dual cartos just fine. Its right at the edge and right in the middle. I usually like the switch at the top or on the side for ease of use in each hand, but this seems to have the same effect, by placing it so close to the edge it works well in both hands. I dont have to look at it when I grad it off my desk, the switch is nice and big so my finger or thumb naturally line up on it
The version I got it a 510 thread. The fitting is very thick and sturdy, deep seated in the box, and really snug. I havent once had to worry about over tightening, or it wiggling. There are two small guide hooks (one top one bottom) that make sure the back piece slides in aligned and snaps into place, so far I havent had any notion that the cover would slide off.
The mini usb port is at the bottom, just like the cup its deep seated, very firm, and no movement. The on off switch it a standard slide switch, you can feel it pop as it slides across. Its not hard to slide but its not going to get switched on in your pocket.
