I really wish I would have kept my first original BB. I remember it fondly. I got on one of the first lists by making DD laugh. Ah, the memories.

There's a story here...

There's a story here...

Basically, if I remember correctly, when DD first announced the BB, there was HUGE demand. He had to make pre-sale lists to deal with demand. I was watching and waiting and hoping to get on one of the lists, but kept missing the announcements. One time, I missed an announcement by just a few minutes by going out to get tacos. I mentioned this in a post and I guess it made DD chuckle. I was put on a list and someone on the original thread let me know. I became a diehard BB fan shortly thereafter...

I was watching the thread SO closely when it came out. I remember the guy from India posting the video about 30 seconds after he got his. I SO wanted one RIGHT THEN.

Had I known, I'd have run out for a burrito or something...

The early BB days were fun and the BB threads have always been my favorite on ECF. DD and the BB fans are always very entertaining!

welcome!!!


I watched a video once on either the coils we use in the bridge, or the nautilus ones, can't recall, no way could I do that, too fumbly fingered. I do ok on a 22mm atty but can't imagine doing those.

I takem apart and reuse the coil and add new kgd cotton.been doin them that way a while.

I caught up with this thread, once.

Once.

(That's a Danny Vermin/Johnny Dangerously joke, for anyone thinking I've finally lost ALL marbles)



What's going on with your eye, J5? ANY progress? I've seen no reports, and have been wondering.

I told the doc I came in with a tiny scratch on my pupil almost 6 yrs. ago. Have had at least 5 operations most of from what drs. did to it. I now have an eye that barely opens again from drs. and can't see as a good as when I come in. If I would of known this was the outcome I would of never started.
I'm going in on the 22nd to schedule another operation.

Thanks that sounds like a good plan.

 

[Freedom2Vape]

And I'm sorry to see all who have sunk. But we all must go in time. After all...



With apologies to all present during the last contest, who saw the exact same post.

Some really nice film references in this thread

We have our moments. I do love Galaxy Quest and was a bid sad when our TiVo died and we lost the recording.
We have another copy now so it's ok.

Doesn't look any more difficult than building a RDA TBH.

Similar in construction to rebuilding factory heads like the old protank heads, but looks straight forward instead of having to manipulate around the silicone grommet and eliminating shorts, etc.

Just build a coil like for a regular deck, make sure the legs go where they need to, snip/snap where necessary and vape.

Probably best to join the Facebook group. There's some build pics there.

Bonus points... pretty sure they're 28 Guage coils.

Hopefully someone can.

I'm working with a finicky phone and driving a big rig.

Thank you for the welcome. I'm not a Billet Box owner - yet, but will hopefully getting one after the first of the year. Trying to read through the thread, learn and catch up. I apologize in advance for late comments to the earlier posts.

I was going to say, "JOHN! It's ME!!!"

But I'm glad you outlined it for those unfamiliar. Marking the 22nd as next follow-up. Thoughts & prayers, my friend.

Always...

F2V comes well represented. Well, actually, he comes "represented". He's a friend of mine, be that a good thing or bad.

But he's friendly with Kat too, so that's GOT to be worth SOMETHING.

Thank you, DP . Yes, Kat and DP have been helping me build a starter kit for my nephews. They have mentioned the Billet Box and sparked my interest. Both have been very kind and understanding of my limited knowledge. I do have to get one now though, since I took advantage of the Ohman link DP posted earlier (I enjoy rebuilding).
