The Billet Box Temporary Thread

[kas122461]

Thanks guys, I just kind of wonder if the regulator in it, could be failing and pulling the power, from one of the batteries, more than the other one. The only thing else I have noticed, is the batteries when they need to be charged, do not require a equal charge, one always needs a lot more then the other.

That's definitely unusual. I never noticed much of a difference in mine.
Fire an email off to the boss-man. I wouldn't be surprised if he says to send the BB in.

Y'know, I was just thinking today, what the heck is a BilletBox anyway? So this seems like a good place to ask, to save me from all the googling I'd otherwise have to do.

Anyone care to enlighten me?

Thx!

I tried that from my office at about 3pm today.

It didn't work.

Either you weren't holding your mouth right or you forgot the chant. "There'so nothing like a Billet Box, there's nothing like a Billet Box".

Ok, thanks -- got the info I wanted, and also that which I most needed, which is that it's about $139 out of my price range.

Okay, I sent the man a e-mail, so if it does have to go in, I have my back up.

The Comfort Zone. It's a great place, isn't it?

Seriously though, I do notice that my older (raw) one pulls charge unevenly, but in the long run it still holds steady and all equals out. There may come a day though that mine too must trip home. And I will feel EXACTLY as you do now.

Geez, now he claims to know how other people feel. What's next, are you going to tell our futures?

... A. I see something in yours too. Fish. I see fish. But I can't tell if it's via sense of sight or smell.

Either you're getting some strange new mod or you haven't had your quarterly shower yet.

So which is it? ;-)

I have a question, this one I cant figure out, a few weeks ago I mentioned that one set of my batteries quit working in my RPG BB. They show a full charge, and the will not work in this box. Here is the weird part, they work fine in my new BB, with no problem, this has me stumped. I have 8 of the batteries, and all the others work in either box, Any ideas?

KAS

Yes!!!!!!!! I do!!!!!!!

KAS, dahling...... it's the COLOR! Get a FireBald and you'll be set!

(seriously, contact DD of BB at this point)

My batts do not charge perfectly evenly either. There's always a premature (ummm) and a slacker. But they're close and it all works out eventually. I really would not worry about the batt charges, but I would keep an eye on them. Time for new ones?

Hello Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaandria. Moving on up from the V3 are ya? The B Box is an incredibly wonderful mod. Save your quarters, hon. TIZ worth it.

If he doesn't, I will.......




Uh oh, Snakeness....

Thx Roland. I looked over the Billet Box site, studied how they're put together, and I do think I would like it a lot better than a REO; they say the REO hits like a dripper, which I really don't like at all, but I use a cartotank daily, so if I was going to spend serious money on a mod, I'm certain it would be this one.

I haven't read the whole original thread, obviously, since it just piqued my curiosity today to wonder about these, but is there any plan to ever have variable wattage? I suppose I could go back to using voltage, and since the carto's resistance would always be the same, no real reason to change it, once I found the voltage I liked (I use a 3 ohm carto at 10-11 watts, whatever voltage that would translate to). Just curious, really.

Maybe it's something to think of, plan for, long-range -- like maybe next summer when I hit 1 yr smoke free, or something. They're nice looking, and I like the compactness of having everything all in one like that.

Sorry, I'm not Roland, but I will chime in in his sleepy absence.

Andria, you have nailed all the things we love about the B Box. It's nothing like a Reo. The hand feel of the B Box is comfy and smooth and ergonomic, which to me, the Reo was not. It's also not a bottom fed device. The sweet little tank is integrated and the entire device is designed and manufactured to perfection. Use it with kartos, Billet Bridges (my personal fave), the Diver and I think the Sophia, so there ARE options for coils.

I don't think we've really heard anything about going VW on these. I do know that DD of BB initially recommended the 3.0Ω kartos for the maximum range in voltage. And as you said, with using those, you don't really need VW with this device.

If you decide to get one for your smoke-free-a-versary, we'll be here to applaud you and cheer you on!

3ohm carto turn the BBox all the way up and that would be good for you. A good carto works great in the BB as does a Billet Bridge by Atmistique, now sold on the BB site. Use the Aspire BVC coils, not for the Naughtiless, 2.1 ohm are the highest they're making right now. Those at 4.7 to 5 volts are also a very good vape.

Hmm... it seems I haven't used any of my vv3s for anything but dry-burning coils, since I quit vaping that Virginia I had in my kayfun on my white vv3. I finally dumped that Virginia out and got the kayfun cleaned up, and all my vv3s are just standing there on the counter like soldiers someone forgot to dismiss. Lately it's been all-Vamo all the time, my gorgeous gun-metal Vamo and gun-metal cartotank with gun-metal driptip, and the delicious taste of blueberry muffin/banana nut bread -- which I'm hot on the trail of being able to 100% DIY; the Banana Nut Bread is just right, and the Blueberry Muffin is definitely getting there.

And as I think I observed in the vv3 thread, being able to DIY all but 10% of my ejuice (the WTA 10%) means more funds for mods.
