They lasted longer than I thought they would.

I ran a timer and here is what I got

Red 31 seconds
Black 56 seconds
Orange 1 minute 10 seconds

Somehow I don't think they lasted that long. But congratz to those that got one. Site glitched on me and didn't pull up my saved addresses when I was checking out with the red but they showed up when I tried to check out with the black but then out of stock when I clicked submit :(

I am a total BB newbie, but this is just insane!!!!!!!

I *think* I got a red one, I checked out, and got an order # email, but who knows? So many people saying they lost theirs during checkout on Facebook. My poor heart can't take this again!

So sorry man..

Yeah I ran the timer when add to cart button appeared then stopped the timer when the last add to cart went away so there is a delay.. And they didn't all go up at the same time.. 1st red, then a few seconds later orange, then a few seconds later black. Boro's were the last to be posted. I started the timer right when red went up and stopped when orange went out.

I think they were gone faster than that as well but it's what my timer showed at least..

today I received my BilletBox and some extras. Are there any characteristics that I can be sure that I did not receive a clone?
Congrats!! Especially since it appears to be an original!

I got one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wahoooooooo Congrats to those that got one........condolences to those who didn't.

Sorry the site glitched on ya GM! @DPLongo22 did you get your orange?

I am a total BB newbie, but this is just insane!!!!!!!
Welcome!! Yeah the release of a brand new version with limited stock since they're hand made from a fairly small operation doesn't last long. But have patience......you'll get one eventually I'm sure.

I did not get an orange one, Debs, but I DID get a black! As did my westerly-partner-in-crime. She's gone for the day, but I'm sure we'll hear from her later.

I'm THRILLED.

Congrats to all who scored, and don't get discouraged for all who haven't yet. Your time will come - I'd bet on it. :)

The UNO is really testing my patience, and my ability to build coils, the only wire I have or have ever used is 30 Ga and up. I have built 6 coils for this thing, and every single one of them will not fire. I have no way to test the OHMs on this thing because of its design. I am starting to get a bit ticked off with this thing!:-x

Hey Kas here is how I am building mine. I've done 2 so far just playing and they worked great. Also I am using one of the premade coils I mentioned previously right now and it's working great as well.

1. I use 28G and 10 wraps on a 3/32 drill bit give me about 1.6'ish ohms

2. After I wrap the coil I use tweezers to hold the coil then I use my torch to heat it up and gently squeeze the tweezers.

3. Insert the coil into the base and slide the rubber insulator over one leg and then into the base.

4. Pull both legs off to the side of the base and insert the pin.

5. Snip the legs off as close to the base as you can.

6. Use a lot of cotton. It has to be tight in the coil.

7. Cut the cotton close to the base and fluff the ends. Make sure you don't have any gaps in the slats or you will get leaking.

8. Check coil position and make sure it's centered and not touching the walls of the base

9. Prime and vape.

I hope this helps.. If not maybe try those premade ones I linked to earlier. I have one in my Uno right now testing it and it's working great. The legs on those premade ones I linked to are just long enough to work.

Well I think that does help some, I built 1 on 3/32 10 wraps of 30 ga and it failed, so I built another one with 32 Ga on 3/32 10 wraps and it failed also. So if your getting a 1.6 with 28 then I just need more wraps. I will get it, just getting irritated.

Try this calc: Coil wrapping

Inner diameter of the 3/32 drill bit is 2.4mm. From there you can plug in desired ohm and what gage wire you are using and it will give you the # of wraps needed.

Well if that thing is right, the coils I made should have fired.:?:

Absolutely.. If they are not firing then you have a short somewhere,,

If you want, PM me your mailing address and I'll shoot off a few of the premade coils in the mail to you..

Keep at it, the Uno is a fantastic vape!

I'll probably wrap another coil later. I'll try and snap some photos of my build for you if you think that will help.

After vaping a few hours on the BilletBox I am really suprised how good the flavour is on the 1.6 bvc coils, not much difference to the 1.8 nautilus coils in the kabuki tank.

You're not alone with that sentiment.

I believe that there's something to having it all contained inside something, because I had similar experiences with the RailBox (extraordinary flavor). That thing was WAY too large for me though.

The BB is far-from-it (too large). Glad you're liking it, bakke!
