So it turns out all my cartos are to long for billet at all. Darn it; I was so close.

And based on some emails from the lovely & talented "Ms. Kids", I might have ordered the wrong ones too. I went with the IKV Fusions, about an hour before she messaged me with the the best options. I'm going to give them a shot. Worst case, I stare at the BB for a bit longer than planned.

But I have faith that "2423" knows her stuff - more than I do, thanks for dayum sure.

So I sit, so I wait.

DP ... YOU are just the sweetest my friend! ;-) I'm not too sure about that after posting up by mistake a link to the XL SR slotted Boges rather than the regular standard sized ones the other day! LOL! (And thanks RiverNut for catching that! ;-)) Hmmmmm ... I thought I saw Ms. Kat mention in a post that she uses the Fusion ones like you ordered (along with the Boges), so they're good too I'm sure (just gotta get the size right my Dear! :D). As long as they are the standard 35mm length/size (not XL size) punch/slot your own, pre-punched one or two hole, and pre-slotted cartos all work. I just happen to prefer the SR Boge pre-slotted the best at the moment (this too is subject to change ... LOL!!). Wish I'd caught ya before you ordered the XL's! Ugh! Darn filled up in box!

Lovie dovies, I like the slotted STANDARD size Platinum 3.0Ω cartos! The correct ones are the IKV "S" Series... here's yer linkie: IKV 510 MEGA Platinum SR S Series

The Boges are also fine (the slotted ones).

However, if you don't have the slotted ones, a normal, regular, standard sized, punched Boge is abstolootely fine!

Thanks to you both "Dovies", and I may need to make some adjustments, after I try the ones I ordered. I acted in haste, as I've been known to do, and probably should have checked with at least one of you first.

But, alas, the classies have seen me before, so dumping some ill-ordered cartos (at a discount, of course) won't be anything new here.

Besides, I'm not touching the thing until the JWraps get here. I don't mind the scratches on my Hana (kind of adds character), but I think I'd prefer to keep BB pristine. Hana's got muscles (and I like it!), BB, as mentioned already, is OH-SO-PURDY!!!

Speaking of "purdy", again, I thank you both.

So... I'm loving my bb : ) I threw a carto in it just to check out the vape... while I waited for the courage to grind down my diver... and I cant kill the damn thing! Been like two weeks and the flavor and vapor is still awesome. Hoping it dies soon so I can play with my Diver : D

I'll spare you guys another big ol' DITTO!!! ;-)

But ... I will add that a carto works so well in the BB ... I don't need or want a Diver! LOL!

has anyone modified the air intake on the BB? I found the draw WAY to airy so I taped over the 3 air slots then poked one small hole in the tape and it works great.

If you get a JWrap for it River they'd probably be able to do that air hole side with just one hole cut out for ya! ;-) The draw on it never really bothered me! I'm a lefty ... So when I hold it in my left hand and fire with my thumb the first two holes are kinda covered anyway.

Can't drive, work, or walk far. Turns out not the flu. But you know what I can do. I can set up my bb! Lovely bf of mine is getting a proper fitting carto today to carry me over until my sr fillerless arrives. Found a tip in my collection that fits. Oddly most where to big. Didn't expect that. But my shorty fits snug. I had to lube it with juice to get it to want to go in though. Got myself two fully charged batteries. Almost there.
