I don't remember if I ever posted this. I was surprised with this homemade Father's Day gift my kids made for me. It really broke me down since I'm unable to do the things I want to do with them. I hope and pray everyday for the strength to continue on being the best that I can be.
Thank you everyone here. I consider you all my family and friends. I do hope my disability case goes through soon. It's been almost 3yrs. Gone thru 1st decision, 2nd decision w/disability lawyer, and lawyer filed for disability trial hearing. Been waiting now for the disability trial date almost 1 1/2 years.

I'm really hurting for money.

And I've been hurting for time.

The time issue has kept me from customizing one of my BBoxes.

I was planning on striping it down, and having it custom coated to FDE (Flat Dark Earth) and keeping the black carbon fiber and Delrin button as accents.

But, when I saw this:

Well, I had to buy it.

So now, the BBox that was slated for remodel will be going up for sale soon, to recover from this expenditure.

There will be extras, so if y'all know anyone who likes or needs a BBox... :wink:

Congrats! and yeah that is the one I just ordered, except mine will have a pearly type button, I really like the gold colored one also though. :)

I think you can buy one every week forever if you wanted as long as you are not flipping them for more than RRP after you buy it..

I never sell the stuff I buy for vaping, especially right now, I asked them about it on their site. I would like to order one more on Tuesday morning if any are available. Their are several that I want, I would order 2 if I could. :)

Awesome gift Bush! :thumbs:

My thoughts are with you that your approval goes through ASAP. I've never been able to understand why these are dragged out for so long. {{{HUGS}}}

I guess I better get on the stick and spend some money before August/atrocious/2016. Otherwise I might not be able to afford one.

Which is precisely why it amazes me to see people unloading Rev3's at ridiculous prices on Facebook. They have NO idea, the gems they hold.

Many of them are clones. But I gotta get a rev 4. It's suddenly getting expensive for me to vape trying to get everything before the FDA (Fekking Dumb Adses) thang goes into affect.

I am going to buy a few mech mods... DNA's are nice but they won't last forever. If the board fries then getting replacements will be tough. Also some (me, me, me) lack the knowledge to replace a board myself without catching my house on fire.

A mech mod will last forever with periodic cleaning... I love the BB's but I don't see many around and still functioning several years after the ban is in place..

Also, I am not really up to snuff on the FDA garbage.. I thought the ban would not kick in until 2017.. What's going down next month?

Well Raq, since I'm in PA, I can look forward to the :censored: 40% tax. I've already received one email from a vendor that will no longer ship to PA because they don't want to support the crazy, which I totally understand. Vendors now all have to use the "approved bottles" (after July 26th), so not sure how that will affect us yet. The bottle thing is at a federal level, only certain approved childproof bottles can be used. :facepalm:

That's what I know for a fact so far. Anyone else??

Something tells me that the Rev 3's might kick it around for awhile. They're pretty tough cookies. The 4 may too, but I've not put it through similar stress tests.

My "mechs" all say Provari on them. No-can-do unregulated vaping. Tried it, failed it.

Shut-up, Kat.

Hey DP - why did mechs fail you? I am curious. I have a few, but struggle with getting the output low enough for my vaping style. I am a complete tootle puffer.

Slightly different goals, Kh, but same reason. I learned (from mechs) that I absolutely require a mod with regulated & controllable output. Variable is essential, while Voltage or Wattage is almost irrelevant (for me).

I love the way many of them look, but I find the actual vaping experience to be less than fully satisfying. I need to be able to dial into exactly what I'm looking for at that moment.

Some Provis are now are $40 shipped, so I grabbed enough of those to carry me. And don't underestimate the longevity of the BB Rev 3s. They're built like brick houses. Being that I've also got a few of those, I'm taking the chance that I'll never need a mech.

I won't buy any more, and I won't put them into my family's hands. They can be dangerous if someone lacks the knowledge associated with proper use. My entire family (just about) vapes, but I am the only "Vaper" (if that makes sense).

Makes complete sense. I did sell off my rev3s and am desperately hoping the DNA 40 holds the test of time. I know it won't, but hope springs eternal. Like you, I have a Provari and may grab some of the others at the reduced price point!
