Hey Krisb! I joined ECF in 2009 and left in the fall of that year, went back to analogs for the past 3 years. All we have are 2 Silver Bullets. I am just starting over again as of last week. VV, tanks, all that stuff has happened since I've been away. Even my Silver Bullet does not seem like enough to me this time around. I think VV is the kick in the proverbial ... that we both need to finally stop smoking! Like most folks, I want to go straight to the best source rather than spending alot of money on mods hoping they'll do the trick. I am truly thinking that the Billet Box is the one for him. He is a truck driver in the oilfield as well, and needs a "man's" device, like the BB. Solid, rugged, and strong!
All I can say is that you are a genius. I always wondered why there were no self contained PV's on the market. This product should do very well. I just need to find out from someone that has used it how it is. Will you also sell extra tanks I like to switch up different juices thru the day sometimes and I would hate to have to empty clean and refill just for another flavor. Also do the clear windows on the tanks come off for cleaning? I really like this device and hope to have one someday! Great work!!!
smitighe I can answer that one, he does sell extra tanks 
The whole tank comes out for cleaning as one unit
The whole tank comes out for cleaning as one unitDarkmoon, vv should do it! It's a much fuller hit. My Bb should be here today, so haven't used it yet myself, but a friend of mine who makes one of the popular tanks has had his for awhile and loves it! Him and I have both been using one of the top end vv's (not sure if I should mention which one in this thread?) And he has been using his bb instead since he got it. Hopefully I can tell you first hand later today

Hello all, just finished reading the thread. The BB looks very impressive. Was wondering if any other word on when the wood panels would be available? Seeing in the thread there is a rebuildable in the works as well, any other info? Just wanted to put out those questions and to sub to this thread. Thinking once the wood panels come out will be time to place an order , plus that gives me some time after my recent vape purchases.
, plus that gives me some time after my recent vape purchases.I need a man's opinion I think.....My husband is a chain smoker, 2 packs + a day. We tried him on the Silver Bullet at 3.7 volts back in 2009 and it didn't cut it at all for him....He was never satisfied and craved cigs constantly. He will require a good hard hit like a cigarette, lots of throat hit and vapor, and a high dose of nic I think....36...It's just got to give him the same satisfaction that a ciggy does.
VV were not available back in 09 when he was vaping. I am just back on vaping again and learning about VV. I am seriously thinking of buying the Billet Box for him but want to know before I spend this kind of money if you guys think this one will be the charm for him? Of course if it isn't, I'll get it
that is very much my story, that's why i built it.. I fell off the vapor train a few times, the last time i did not go back to cigs, but was smoking two packs of cloves a day.... I need the hit to hurt a little at times, i need to feel it. The transition is not always easy, but for many of us it is more near impossible without out a hard hitting monster, and a high nic fluid. I made this box for ME, and i was very much a heavy smoker. If you have your silver bullets laying around (the longer one at 110mm overall), I would have him put two rcr123a 3volt batteries in there (they are easy to find, tenergy ones are cheap as free, but you can even find them at the store), that will hit at about 5.43volts after drop out... trust me, one way or another, there is a way to get enough vapor in his lungs.. and we will all help you get there.
ZOMG Krisb, i just ran your tracking #, "OUT FOR DELIVERY" sooooo sooooon............
Not to long, I have one! I like the wood plates with a brass button, but pearl button looks way slick too... i have tons of stuff i'm not showing off quite yet. I'd say a month after we have had our official web store launch, and have settled into place a bit.Hello all, just finished reading the thread. The BB looks very impressive.

Thanks Doug!! I just looked at the batteries in my SB and I am using 2 stacked (I know how dangerous that is but it's all I have until order comes in) Ultrafire TR 15270 800 mAh 3.0V batteries and dripping on an old 801 atomizers, HAHAHA! OLD SKOOL! So whatever I have power wise with this setup is what we both used. I am currently awaiting updated supplies....I guarantee I will be a "Billit Buyer"!
Edited to add: I am voltage and ohm stupid, it is all new to me! So what voltage have I already been vaping at with the above setup?

Awesome to hear so soon, really would love the look of wood and I think rebuildables are definitely the way to go. Wanted to say your website is really nicely done and easy to navigate. Also very impressive how active you are on the thread and there to answer questions.
Can't wait to see what you have in store and may pick up a BB sooner rather than later.
EDIT: Sorry wanted to check, I know earlier in the thread you showed a pic of the wood plate. I think you mentioned something about adding something to the wood to make it more durable? Is that the plan for when you first release the wood covered panel?

Haha, don't think I will be vaping in the shower........but it is always nice to have the option. Can't wait to see some pics with the new options when their all ready. Based on this thread and people's responses you are going to have your hands full.
Last question. With you coming up with a rebuildable part, will there be any future options for the BB to go over/under the 4 to 5.5 volts it is now? More like 3 to 6 or even 3 to 5.5? Just thinking as I make may of my coils about 1.5 ohms, can easily make the coil higher if needed though.
Well due to power outage no one got to see Ogre's BB except me and twitter....lots of pictures on twitter. He did take it to work last night which was his true test. He loves the solid build. He loves the vape. He's not loving the battery life but he is used to 18650 battery life. He is going to adjust by having 3-4 sets of batts instead of just 2 because sometimes he goes in for an 8 hour shift that turns into a 12 hour shift. I am very sure he will go more in depth on his Monday night show. But so far, he is very happy with it. (I had no doubts )
)Well, stacking batteries is fine as long as they are protected. These high performance batteries we use were not made for vaping, but for the high performance flash light industry, and intended to be used this way. Your set up is unprotected but is fine as long as you don't let the voltage drop to low... Batteries don't just blow up like little bombs at a moments notice, they really give you a good warning first by swelling up, and the lithium ion based ones are little puppy dogs compared to Lithium polymer they use in electric car and the RC hobby industry. Your little green ones are likely giving you about a sustained 5.3 to 5.4 after drop out (if they are not old), so really close to what the BB puts out at full power. I can make the BB put out up to 6.8 volts sustained, but standard cartos burn over 5.5, and that is why i cap'd it there, but that will also choke most horses... But vapor is a funny thing, I find a lot of different juices like and preform better at different voltages... like right now i mixed some blue stuff with some yellow stuff (yah, some of my bottles an't labeled) and find this mix puts our more vapor a just 5volt even... crazy right.. well not really because there is a lot going on when we go to take a vape, coil temp, e-fluid viscosity and change due to the coil temp, our draw strengths and duration, these are all an equation that becomes difficult to calculate to a science...
Glad he likes it. The 18650 is a massive cell for sure.... but if he's using the black AW, they take a few charging cycles before they reach full capacity, so it should get better for him'.

Not quite yet, I just checked the site... everything looked fine. Maybe try again in a bit, the server could have brain farted, let me know if you still are haveing trouble with it.
The trouble with that great of a range is that the dial only travels so far, so you loose resolution, that is why 4 to 5.5 seemed to make a lot of sense to me... also, to drop the voltage down that low is a wast of the batteries native voltage... better to just use the coil wire to get your ohms up.
