I sure am hoping there will be a HUGE re-stock tomorrow (and I don't forget about it). After much deliberation and contemplation --- the BB has beat out the Radius, P3, XvoStick, etc for my new EDC. The only thing I'm worried about is the pressure required for the button.... my hands are small and weak fingers (MS). I think I will attach a jewel to raise the button (genius idea posted earlier in this thread - sorry I can't remember who to credit).

I really want a brown one (I think - pretty sure).

Can anyone comment on the pressure needed for button?

That is the way I feel as well, after thinking about it I know I love my BB's. So why take a chance on the radius? I will get A Radius at some point, but right now if I am going to get another box mod, it is going to be one that I know I like. I am also hoping for a huge restock tomorrow, though I just want one. I think the button is very easy to press, don't think you will have any problems. :)

As someone with hand issues.....the button isn't really hard to press, but it is a lil bit. Mostly it's that because it doesn't stick up, I end up mashing not quite on the button right, so it doesn't mash, and I mash harder. When I adjust a bit, it's not hard really, but by then my hands are kinda hurting, particularly if I'm having a bad hand day. I've got a gorgeous abalone button, so don't wanna really cover it up, but am thinking about maybe a clear bubble or something.

The button is easy to push as it's been posted.
The difficulty if any (what Deb posted) is because it is flush with the case. Very nicely done I might add.
The pros of the flush button is it makes it very pocket friendly.
The cons, naturally, is the opposite making it less pocket friendly possibly causing it to fire while it's in your pocket. Also, as in my case, the raised button could get knocked off getting caught going in your pocket.
Now I have to buy another set of Seahawks earrings as I gave the other one away. Duh.
I need new cards too as them are getting worn.

Yeah me too, I ordered a Rat black, it has been a long time sense I ordered a BB. :)

@Mommay & @kas122461 . . . Congratulations ! ! ! :D

Personally, I am saving up to get either one of the Darker Blue or Deep Rich Red Billet Boxes . . . Haven't decided which one yet - but then again it all depends on what is available and having the money at the same time (and hoping for another Sale like "Cyber Monday" :facepalm: ) . . . ;)

Wahooooooooo When you get it, perhaps you can help me describe the color. Someone asked me for a good pic, but I haven't seen my son much since then, and when I do keep forgetting to have him do a pic for me. It's really a nice color, and I'm not much of a brown person!

Yeah me too, I ordered a Rat black, it has been a long time sense I ordered a BB. :)

Wahooooooooooo Glad you got one!!

I also want the red one, that will be my next one, but I do like the brown and the gold as well.:unsure:

I had to go and check and see how long ago it was sense I had last ordered a BB, and I ordered my first one (RPG) on 7-19-2914, and the clear anodized on 11-15-2014. So it has been a while, and while these two have been a bit scratched up, I have never had any real problems with them. This is why I am putting off ordering a Radius, I like the looks of the Radius, but if you read the thread about it, you will see report, after report of various problems people are having with them. I am still interested, but I am going to wait and see if they get all the kinks worked out first. In the mean time I am going to get more BB's :)
