Got the Rev-2 stripped down, and thoroughly cleaned (she was a very dirty bird). Got her back up and running, and she's happy as a clam!

My Rat has a girlfriend!

She's had a rough life (her previous owner apparently had butter fingers), but he sees her for what she can, and will be.
Cuz, for those of you who only know me from this thread, well...lets just say I've got a personal vendetta against the "status quo".
She won't look like this when I'm done with her!

You have made some interesting comments about the Delrin tank vs the Boro. I don't have a Rev 4, but have the Rev3s. I always use a Boro, but fight with the darn gasket...all the time. It frustrates me to no end and yes, I know all the tips and tricks - tried them all. Sometimes its fine, sometimes not. So, your happiness with the delrin inspires me to give them a try, again.

What coil are you using with the Delrin and how are you filling it? Are you using the syringe from BB? Any tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated - thank you!

I know that wasn't directed at me, but I'm going to throw out a response before heading off to work.

Use a needle tip. The pinks are fine, the greens are fine, as are the COOL new black ones that come with the r4.

Lay the tank flat and insert the tip at an angle. I usually angle mine straight down, from the top of the tank. Then fill and lift the tank straight up, so you can see the level of juice. Stop before filling it completely (just a small bit of air is all that's needed).

After removing the needle, squeeze the face of the tank, and wipe down any residual juice. Reinsert tank (IF you removed it), and vape away.

It takes literally seconds, and works every time. The amazing thing to me is that I'm still using the ones I got WAY back when. I'd have thought the balls would have broken by now, but they haven't. Go figure.

Thank you! You are talking plastic needle tips and not metal, correct? Just want to make sure I don't end up causing damage. Thank you!

Yes - definitely plastic tips only.

Pretty cheap on Amazon. These are the pink (20g) ones.
Dispensing Needle, Plastic Tapered Pink 20 ga 0.024id x 1.25" Tip, 50 pcs: Science Lab Needles: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

If you use thicker juices, you can select different sizes.

Sometimes I snip the very tips off the pink ones, just for fast filling. Obviously that makes the juice come out more quickly, so you need to think about that when you're turning a bottle upside down (or anything).

And I'm still using the original tanks I got! The ones with the clear plastic front, and they still work fine too!

Thank you, again! Do you have a specific bottle you purchase, too? Or, do you just put these on a syringe? Sorry for all the questions...

I always just use the bottle that BB sends with all the boxes... I have about 4 or 5 of them at the moment and they work great.. The only minor bummer is transporting them.. I think I use to have a little rubber thingie that I could slip over the top of the tip but I no can find it / them..

Having just received my first BVC Bridge, my thoughts are: He|| no!
I do not like the press-fit top tube at all.
It's a mechanically weak connection, and I will only use it as a last resort.

I love the classic bridge with the BVC.. I got my 1st BB back in mid 2013 and started using the Billet Bridge right when it came out for the BB...

I've never had issue with the connection between the 2 parts and it simple and works every time.. Sure the screw in style of the comfort might give a more secure warm and fuzzy but the bridge with BVC is super duper a-ok in my book...

I'm assuming RTD has a upstanding and long-standing reputation?

In "My" limited experience - "Randy" the owner of "RTD" is very customer orientated and provides great service . . . Matter of fact, I've sent a few people over to him already . . . Just tell him Your "Uncle" sent Ya' (Not like that will do anything for Ya', but it is Humorous if "Your" in the know . . . ) . . .

So, I just scored one of the Rev 3a royal purple off evilbay: box, 2 stock tanks, white boro, bridge, a couple coils, and 8 sets of batteries for $300. Will probably have to ask some questions once it gets here

Oh... Krisma? Wife and I are currently playing host to someone from Adelaide...

Sorry I didn't respond sooner...
I don't think your post was in response to me. I prefer Boro over Delrin...

But your post seems to match DP and/or Raqball...
I know both of them prefer the Delrin.

Anyone know where I can get them fancy clear-front Delrin plates?

Next time you go to your doctor ask him if you can have the plastic cap thingy that goes over a syringe needle. They fit nicely over the plastic needle tip when its on the bottle.

I came into a bit of extra cash via a credit card rebate, so I decided to keep my orange Rev. 4 (ding and all) and get either a red or a dark blue tomorrow...or maybe black or green. I hope the F5 war doesn't get out of hand, although it looks like they'll have more stock than they did 2 weeks ago.

 

[HBcorpse]

Just wanted to post this. Apparently it is a real billboard and vapors are blowing up their phones and FB to have it removed. View attachment 567603

So now, mental illness is a tobacco product?

I called and told them to remove the billboards.

Sounds like they're getting a TON of negative feedback from vapers.

Let's add to the fire!

 

[AlphaGuitarist]

I just called the number on the billboard and politely told them that I had a comment on one of their billboards. I was then given another number that connected me to the American Lung Association. I guess they are getting overloaded with calls about their blatant lies.

 

[DancingHeretik]

Will ya'll stop talking about delrin tanks. He doesn't make them anymore. So, no can haz!


Nevermind. Just looked. I thought he stopped making them a year of so ago. I'm giddy!

 

[raqball]

But I want to haz a rev 4 delrin but I no can haz..

Call me a silly ol bird, but it makes me so happy to know you're going to keep your Rev4 Kurb! I hope you get whichever color you most want, tomorrow.
