lolz,... ahhh K, here is what's up... On the Rev 3 it was pretty clear how the glass needed to slide in because it wasn't totally square, it kinda had like a leggy doober' thingy on one side.... the Rev 4 tank glass you have to put it in JUST THE WAY YOU TOOK IT OUT... it has a bevel in the glass on ONE of the top edges so it can ride up on the gasket. I tried to stress this in the instructions... Until last night i had yet to watch any reviews of the Rev 4... i saw one reviewer attempt to put the glass in upside down.. this equals destroying the gasket... He flipped the glass but had the bevel UP not Down... this equals destroying the gasket... he forced it in there, but the gasket was shot, and completely ripped out of the track... we have replacement gaskets in the care kits on the shop site, but as long as the glass gets put back the way it came out, you should never have to replace it... if you ever put the glass in wrong however, it will never work right until replaced. I guess i could have the glass laser engraved with up and down, but that may weaken it... sorry this has been a problem for some, but the glass HAS to go in correctly to work. Still having problems, send it in to us, we'll take care of it.

I KNEW IT!!!

Ok. Well that settles it...
I'll probably be battling a lot of you tomorrow.

If the gasket isn't the liability that it sounded like, I can handle it.

Rev 4 here we come.

Well I have haz'd 3ea rev 4 boros and I have one that's never even been used. The glass on 2 of them has never been removed yet the gasket still crimps, cramps, distorts and gets all discombobulated when slid down far enough to fill then back up...

Anywho, I am sure if I contacted BB about it they would be, as usual, stellar and lightning fast to respond and replace them.

Me? I just want to haz a rev 4 delrin option :D

DD....... We all hope the FDA get this shoved up their rear!!!! Keep on keeping on my man and as always, You ROCK!

Yayyyy!!!!... plus all this stuff up my sleeve that i'v been holding on to that may not be able to happen now with FDA regs... lot's happening, lot's gonna happen... but i'm way tired, sorry i haven't had the time to spend here, keep an eye on the news for industrial complex fires in the Ogden Utah area, toasted marshmallows sound super nummy right now!!!

other insider info... neat plates for the Rev 4 up tomorrow. The TMNB (green) looks killer, anodizers done did a good job, and we threw stainless buttons in them puppies... Ummm,,, RPG is coming up not this batch but the next, it's back from the anodizers today, and yah, they look way awesome...

DNA 25 are comin' soon, the machining is a little different for them, the boards we make are a little different too... we're on it and they should be next batch..... if all go's happy time...

Thank you for the direct reply by the way!

I'm sitting here, in the presence of two of your creations.

I bought my first last week, and it arrived early this week. I loved it so much that I turned around and immediately bought another.
They make a happy couple!

Then I learn more about the Rev 4...and these two hear what I've learned.
I came home from work today, and walked in on this:

So now they're here, making sweet love, in the hopes that the stork brings a baby Rev-4 to the chimney!

"Like" given, cuz it's you, but disconcerting words, from many perspectives.

Send um in, we'll always make it right! It could be the bevel on the glass wasn't perfect... this bevel is a "Hand" part in the "hand and robot made"... it's a balance in our shop what gets done and how, i can make a robot do it... but i kinda like my guys and the bottom line is i am responsible for the income of a quite a hand full of American employees that, on the whole, care a great deal about what they do.

As for a delrin tank, i'll put my mind on it... like i said, i have a lot up my sleeves, whether or not i can make it happen for regulation reasons and time frames is another story.

Any reason to fear getting bad/clone batteries from RTD?

I'm gonna place my order for some reds and blacks, but I also wanna order some LGHG2's (doodoo brown 3000mAh)...
I'm assuming RTD has a upstanding and long-standing reputation?

RTD has been the go-to for many of us, for many years, HB. I wouldn't worry about quality when it comes to Randy.



Tools and Accessories : Big Daddy Vapor

They're not cheap, but I like the different color cap option, and they work marvelously well.

Someone else may have a better option.

Best bottles in the world :thumbs:


You can get them from eBay (this is the Australian listing but narrow neck)

30ml squeezable bottle dispensing bottle with luer lock cap transfer cap

I got most of mine from madvapes but I don't see them there anymore.

30mL Luer Lock Bottle | Madvapes

Amazon has the original seller but they would not ship to Australia.

Avid vapers
30ml Luer lock cap and Bottle

MFS
Luer Lock Bottle Cap

And as a suggestion, you all might want to look into Jensen Global. They do caps, and luer locks, and syringes and 'everything like that'. ;)

They're a fine company and I have purchased a bunch from them. With a bit of an order, they might even be less expensive than some vape vendors. Check them out and see. :)

Luer Lock Bottle Caps







One that I do cherish, and will hold forever, is a rare all-delrin-no-hole tank that I purchased as an "ultimate" backup. I assumed that the balls would break down in the delrin tanks. They still may, but none have yet.

And I can assure that I've put them through paces.

Brilliant workmanship, that man called DD. ... brilliant.

Echo'd. "... brilliant" for sure. All of my original B Box gear, including the clear faced tanks and the all delrin no-hole tanks are perfect and perfectly functional!

All hail the Dino. :D

Hey it's DD. Such a radical dude. I've been showing off my OG tank to everyone who would actually care to look. I actually have it in my backpack because I think it's so cool.

I've been out of work for the past two days over some stupid sickness I got. I think it's getting better with the coughing, but it hurts to breathe. I feel like someone hit me in the ribs witha baseball bat. Honestly I wouldn't rule out that DD did it to me without me noticing somehow!

I miss work :(

Hope you feel better, @LEGOMAN.

And nice to see you, DD. I can only hope that you DON'T get to a delrin for the r4, or it's going to cost me a small fortune (replacements for the other four BBers in the family).

They all opted out solely because of the boro. How ironic is it that I am now the boro user in the group????

I'll start packing away some pennies, just in case...

Happy stalking today, stalkers! I'll miss the fun this week (doggie to vet) but I'll be checking the results later, fer shur.

Good luck, all! [emoji106]

Send um in, we'll always make it right!

You da man!

Oh ya, I never doubted your support as you all are pure awesome sauce! Never had an issue and the one time I did, (remember I broke my glass 5.1 seconds after getting my rev 4?) you all went way, far, and massively above and beyond to take carez of me!

Oooooooooo....... rev 4 Delrin? Ooooooooooo?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Well, hey now as much as I want one I know you haz a lot on your plate and well, you kind of need sleep and to spend somez time with the family so ya know, that rev 4 delrin can take a seat on the back burner BUT I do want to haz!

I might try removing the gaskets again, washing, scrubbing and give them the spa treatment before I bother you all with it.. If they sill want to get all discombobulated after that, then I might send em back for a looksi...

Thanks and haz an awesome weekend..

Good luck to all the F5'ers todayz... I am going to sit this one out and wait for the DNA 25's.. I need a silver one to go with my DNA 40 silver...

Oh, hey DD.... If you ever happen to find a silver rev 3a stashed in the corners of the shop, I really, really, really, really, no... I mean I really super duper want to haz!

Most are going out of stock then back in stock...

I wonder are they catching flippers and cancelling orders or people's cards getting denied or are they just staggering the numbers?

Either way, there are STILL some available and we are now 20 minutes in!
