I'm waiting to see the green/black plates. But still unable to get them if I wanted. I need to still get a UNO and Rev4 hybrid tip before anything else. I'm still having issues with the Rev4 Boro the gasket keeps popping out and worried that I might break the glass as it's binding. The Rev3 Boros seem a whole lot easier for me.

Me too! I honestly hate the rev 4 boro! I have a total of 3 of them now. I have the 2 from my silver / clear rev 4 and then I scored a rat black rev 4 on the last sale that obviously came with one boro..

Mine never hold their form and every time I fill the tank on all 3 of the boros the top portion of the gasket pops out and I have to use a tooth pick or something similar to poke it back in place slowly while sliding the glass up...

Here is something I discovered while playing with one of my loose gaskets.

Not sure I can explain in words but anyway. Start it off, put the glass in at the very bottom edge... just to get the bottom gasket side seated properly then move the glass up a very small amount then move back down a small amount, move up and down slightly. It seems to pull the gasket into shape. Using this up/down in increments until to get to the top. It might take ten little motions to get there.... Once it is seated properly then it seems to work from there on in.


The key seems to be small movements of the glass even when opening and refilling

Ive only had the gasket pop on one of my Boros and found cleaning boro and gasket in soapy water and then isoprol alcohol and make sure there is no water or gunk in channel and it is completely dry.

Then as Krisma said and I lube up the gasket and glass with VG and work it up and down slowly.

Once it has popped you have too take it completely out and clean and reinstall .
I did try when it first popped just trying to push it back in but I had no luck and I suspect its because eliquid has got into the gasket channel.

Once I pulled it completely out and cleaned properly I have had no issues

Note: Be sure to put the glass back in exactly the way you took it out, as there is a bevel on one side of the top edge of the glass that prevents the gasket from damage.

FYI for those looking to get the Billetbridge Racing you can now haz
BilletBridge Racing

I think I may want one of these. My only concern is that it will fall in the realm of too loose for a MTL and to tight for a DL. Nothing is more frustrating for me. It has not been a issue as of late because of the progression of gear available but it used to be a problem. With no airflow adjustment I just wonder what this will be like.

I am so excited to be back in this thread. I had two rev 3.a but just couldn't get the usage out of them I wanted with the 3a limit and lugging around extra batteries. I just got a fawkes r4 from a buddy and already have the Racing, nautilus bridge, and roo on the way. Really hoping to score some panels in the near future and a leather case. Depending on how well the RBA section works in the billet i may be ordering an UNO as I love my siluros in the 3.a's.

I have seen one, out in the wild...

And I have held it in my hands. It is most wonderfully beautiful in person. Yes, it is!

I had/have issues with the original (white) boro that came with it, but the two black ones I've gotten since have been perfect. Last weekend I ordered a Care Kit, which comes with a gasket. I'm going to try that new gasket on the white boro. I destroyed the first one, trying to get it to work.

Time tells all.

I have the Kanger RBA working inside of my BB rev 4 right now and it's been amazing. It's the RBA Plus so it has larger airflow. I get so much flavor and never get a dry hit or flooding. I have a 5 wrap clapton coil that comes out at .45 ohms. 26g SS core with a 32 g kanthal wrapped around it

Edit: I wrapped the coil with a 2.5mm bit. I tried a 3mm coil, but it performed very poorly :(

And I think it worked. The gasket began to pop a bit, halfway in, but I gently pushed it backed down, then continued slowly, ala XX. I haven't done the ultimate test yet (fill, etc.), but it IS sitting nicely inside now.

The care kits arrived today, obviously.
