these are gone within seconds or a minute or sumpthin......so if you want to haz, have cc and everything loaded and be ready to go at sale time. If not, then you'll find you no can haz. Good luck, and good luck to all next week

I highly recommend creating an account with BBV, as well. Although my preference was the orange (Kurbis) in the photo above, it wasn't listed when the sale began, so I had a red (Fawkes) in my cart. By the time I finished filling out my shipping info, someone else snagged it. I then created an account and the orange with a stainless steel button became available. Click, click...MINE!

A few tips for new F5'ers..

1. Already have an account set up
2. Have billing and shipping info already added to account
3. Make sure you are signed into the account before hand!
4. On the day of the sale go to the specific page for the color you want. This way you don't have to scan all the different BB colors as they are added. When the color you want is added, boom, it's right there in front of you to see.
5. Have credit card entered into Chrome auto fill. This way, once you are at the payment page all you have to do is enter the first letter of your name and chrome will auto fill the CC details.
6. Practice the checkout sequence a few times before the sale. There is at least one (that I can remember) check box that you must tick mark before you can proceed.
7. Start F5'ing like crazy about a minute before start time. F5, F5, F5 until the BB color you want shown in stock
8. As soon as it show as in stock, add it and go, go, go!

These never last long and are gone in a matter of seconds! Speed is of the essence! You will never get one if you don't already have account setup, credit card info saved and are familiar with the checkout process.

Also, make sure you are on a solid and fast internet connection..

I've scored 2 rev 4 so far and previously scored a few rev 3's playing the F5 game every time I tried for one.. Basically, I've never lost an F5 war yet.. If you follow the above you will have a very good chance of getting one. The last rev 4 I scored I made it through checkout in about 10 seconds. When I went back to the BB page the rev 4's were still showing in stock.

Stress will creep in so try and remain calm. One mistake and it's all over!

Good luck next week all! :D

Wellllll...while we wait, anyone wanna walk me through batteries again?

I'm gonna pull the trigger on some tonight, and I'm torn between the black AW's and the red AW's...

My BBox combo came with 4 black AW's.

It seems like the BBox world is fairly divided on this subject.

Also, on the RTDvapor/RTDelectronix site, they expressly state the black AW's won't fit the BBox...so does that mean they're a newer generation black AW, that truly won't fit?

If you look at RTD they specifically say the black ones they have won't work. Apparently AW changed the size and they no longer fit in the BB..

These DO NOT fit --> AW icr 123 16340 Protected

I have a Rat Black rev 3a that I use every so often so a few weeks ago I emailed RTD about the red AW's.. They wrote me back saying the red will fit.

These WILL fit --> *NEW* AW IMR 16340 550mAh 8A

The black and silver ones are protected and you can vape them until they are dead. They will perform the same up until they die.

The red ones will start to preform less (you'll notice the drop off) as the battery dies. You can vape them all the way until dead but you'll notice the drop off and want to change them before that even happens..

Hope that helps.. Oh I ordered the red ones for my rev 3a and they do work..

I'm just gonna do us all a favor, and order two of each color.

Why not?
What if the black ones FIT, even if they're a tiny bit snug? The ones I have now won't "pop out with a slap of the box into my hand"...
So maybe that's what they mean?

I've also heard the red ones are a tad loose?

For now, HB, I must say, and I agree with raq, forget the black ICRs. Either do the AW (red) IMRs, or the Imrens. The black are simply ill sized and really aren't the ideal to try to squeeze into the battery compartment, let alone the whack whack effort of taking them out. That CAN'T be good for the battery, either.

So depressing...

I was just tooling around on FB and it looks like every person on the planet (save a few) with a rev 4 is flipping the darn thing for $500-$550...

Makes me mad! I think right now just on Mod Trader alone there is like 7 or 8 rev 4's listed...

Boo! Double boo! Flippers suck = They are big ole piles of poo!

I would not order the black and silver ones on RTD's website.. Scroll down the page and they specifically mention they will not fit.. I assume that means they will not even fit snugly..
