Mystery solved, at least for me.

Got my RTD package today, and just popped my brand new RED AW's in my Rev 3a, and they definitely feel too loose for comfort.

Granted, I've only used the <definitely> snug BLACK ones, but the Reds sure do feel "free".

Point of personal preference:
I'll stick with the black ones for now. The added bonus that people report longer/better performance from them sure helps!

Hope this info helps anyone else who is worried about which batteries to get...Looking at you @SoftSell...hahaha you're the "newbie" now!

By the way, all...I found a great tool that helps remove the "tight" fitting BLACK AW batteries.

Menda Tools - 35622 Nylon Point-Blade Probe, 6"

I have access to these at work, and one made its way home with me the other day, so I gave it a shot.
The flat blade end works brilliantly to gently pry the batteries out, without feeling like you're using much force. No damage being done to battery or BBox! Plus it's nylon, so if you slip, there's no risk of marring your BBox, unlike with a blade/flat head screwdriver...someone here mentioned using that, and this is a great substitute!

Well, my Rev 3a came in the mail today. Been using it for several hours

After wanting for so long, I jumped on an ebay deal: RPG BBox, bridge, Kangaroo (I think: it's using OCC coils), 6 sets of batteries, 2 delrin tanks, and a white Boro... for $300 shipped

Worth. Every. Dime.

It's exciting, I'm so pumped that I was able to snag a V4. Can't decide on an atty/bridge though! Been using kayfuns lately, but not quite MTL, kind of hybrid MTL and lung hit. Oh well. I'm having fun looking and watching videos!

If you're looking for something close to the Kayfun, in my experience it's the BVC bridge (Billet Bridge?)...

The Nautilus Bridge (Comfort Bridge?) is a little more airy...plus I think it works with the Triton Mini coils too, but I've no experience with those.

dang. well glad you got a couple! Hope you like em!


Hi, don't think I've seen you around, so welcome!! If you have been around and I just forgot, (I do that a lot), then disregard hehehe

Thankee kindly--no, your memory's just fine (at least in this case ). Seems like a nice place.

I was around once upon a time but now that I have rev4's you will be seeing a lot more of me

The nautilus bridge is a bit more airy than the BVC bridge but nothing a o ring or two couldn't fix. I actually enjoy the triton mini 1.8ohm(maybe 1.5 I cannot remember). Those would be great MTL solution with better flavor than the BVC with orings to reduce airflow a bit.

I always used the blue imrens 134's i believe they were. Fit was perfect and these seemed to perform a bit better than the red AW's since at that time all the blacks were way to long to fit at all.

I don't recall ever seeing this finish, I had a lila monster but it was a lot brighter purple pinkish hue. I really like this finish!

Update on the uno with jmk tip, seems to have just normal condensation which makes me happy. Love my complete setups until I can get better hybrid tips from ohman, hopefully some kirinite panels, and maybe another suit from Pacheco.

kewl. for those who may not have access or don't always want to find a tool, I just wrap a strip of packing tape around the batteries. Leave it long enough for the ends to come around and stick together to form a tab. Grab the tab and pull em out. Easy peasy.

Ohman Hybrid Tips arrived today:

 

[raqball]

^^^ Those are....... -------> SESSY!

 

[SoftSell]

I went with the Billet Bridge Racing, I checked last night and saw one Uno in stock, should of just ordered it then! Next time!
If it works out, shipping from Greece with DHL should be here at the sane time (if not sooner) than my new TMNB.
I already see myself buying way too many things for this box, and that makes me happy.

I either use a piece of ribbon around the battery or packing tape, if I can't find the ribbon.

Those are absolutely beautiful. I'm going to message Ohman right now about ordering a couple.

I got my Racer's today, but I have not tried them yet. I did get a good look at one of them though, other than the supper Tiny Phillips head screws it looks easy enough to build on, it came with a coil already in it, but I don't really have a good way of checking what OHM's it is. When I do try it I will just build a coil as if it was going on one of my KFL+'s

A lil bit. And it WAS one of the colors that I wanted, so I haz a happy.

Soon, I'll enter the F5 wars, hoping to claim a TMNBB for myself

I love the RPG, and pics NEVER seem to do it justice. It's gorgeous.

Welcome to all newbies, and welcome BACK to all oldie-newbies, and heck - WELCOME, EVERYBODY!

It seems like every year, right 'round this time, I'm gushing out thanks to da DD (for the work) and da KD (for the thoughts, and...) for something spectacular.

THIS year's submission, two absolutely MARVELOUS G10 panels, that I'm head-over-heels for.

So, once again, DPL2016 would like to thank you both. I'm humbled, honored, and downright HAPPY ("Clap along IF you feel like Billet Box is da TROOF!")

 

[Katdarling]

That is magnificent, DPL!!!!!! Enjoy the art and talent of the one and only DD of BB!

and...........
