Yup, that's it. I never worried about it - just change the batteries when they stop firing. When I put them on the charger, one usually reads 3.47 and the other, 3.43. I'm not quite 2 years with a BB. DP, Kat, Bamrz, Krisma, J5 and lots more have been using a BB quite a bit longer. I've not heard anyone say they're worried. I might've missed it, but I think no one is worried.So at some point, the batteries just won't fire, and that's it?
I'm worried about discharging them too low...
Glad they're workin for ya, but there is no way I would use a trustfire. I don't know that much about batteries, but I trust mooch and baditude cuz they do understand just about everything about em, and they say not to go near em. Good nuff for me.I get the best performance out of Trustfire flame jacket batteries. I have around 5 different brands but they outlast the others
do you have anything to measure the batt voltage? You can a cheap DMM at harbor freight, or get a better one, but my 6.00 one works fine. You could check the batt, say 1/2 way through the day, if it's still fine, check it at night. If it's low, just change em each night. If it's too low, change em earlier.So at some point, the batteries just won't fire, and that's it?

Just curious...is anyone still using cartos with their BB? Thanks!
They were a giftThat looks great! The colors really complement the blue. Where'd you get them?
hehehe no issues with askin stuff, folks here never mind answerin em!Who is this HBcorpse guy???
Could he BE any more needy???
Ok sooo...I won't have a chance to get my BBox up and running until tomorrow or the next day...
Anyone know if the Nautilus coils work well?
I've got a bridge in the mail, and a carto is a little too tight a draw for me.
I've owned many Nautilus tanks, and I currently use a Kabuki, so I'm familiar with the coil itself.
I'm just curious about the performance in the BBox.
Gah DAYUM!!! Who is this HBcorpse guy???

The BB does have a low voltage cut off as peeps were saying earlier. The board will stop firing before the cells get to low to be damaged. Just run them down till they stop firing and you will be ok. If you are taking it to work or out somewhere for multiple hours take a spare set of batteries with you as you get little to no warning when it stops working. A fresh set will get me thru work but I still keep a pair in my back pack just in case.I guess I kept thinking of this as a mechanical, and that the batteries would vent if I drained them too low!
Luckily I'll have both!I use nautilus tanks and tried the nautilus coils in the comfort bridge. For me personally and my style I prefer the BVC and the classic bridge.

A mechanical will over drain batterys for sure, but the BB will not.
oh kewl!!!!! I want to see this so bad.......but we surely need US vapers to get behind it. he's also had an invite I think from a large film festival or something in France (not Cannes I don't think)It was also announced that it will premiere in Melbourne

The article on IMR batts was a very good read. Thanks, @Katdarling.
One of the (several) things I learned is that ICR batteries can be overcharged, while IMRs can't. Does anyone know if the chargers we use (e.g., XTAR) will overcharge a battery? Mine appears to stop at 4.2, but I'm now curious. As well, does resting a battery after charging mitigate that risk? TIA!
I know I'm about to ask a very loaded question here… But, I am a spoiled Provarinati...
How the heck do I know when it is time to change the batteries?
I'm not going to be able to notice a difference in performance… And without a battery meter, or gauge, I'm not really sure I'll know!
I guess there's no harm in charging the batteries every night… Lithium ion batteries don't really care about full use/charge cycles.
I also don't want to attempt to continue use of the device, if the batteries are too low on charge. Is there any protection in this device at all?
As always, thank you in advance for all the help and support!
