I was on the other side of that peninsula in 68-69, MAG-13, 1st MAW, Chu Lia, RVN. Beautiful beach but not a lot of time to enjoy it.

DD! i know you were warning about the electronics being boring, but i'm stoked on it! call me new school but i've never seen a reverse circuit board like that! It's freakin awesome and makes it more available to the home user! (regarding a completely conductive surface instead of of the thin lines of copper running through silicon) I'm guessin thats an old school way of doing it but i dig it! I understand it's drawbacks, but for applications with few parts and currents like this, it's just perfect. Thankyou soooo much for sharing man. i know you don't have to, and we really appreciate it. We're lovin this stuff, we eat it up! I thought i'de be getting jaded as mid/late feb got closer, but man i'm more excited than ever

Just happened to catch your post out of the corner of my eye as I was skimming through them. I was with MWCS-1 1st MAW DaNang RVN 69-70. Semper Fi my friend.
Yes, this forum can be quite an addiction I know what you mean!
I bet there's a guy in a Chinese factory really happy about those pictures
Looks like an awesome mod, fantastic work.
I'll bet this is a definite probability.To help discourage said Chinese, I suggest DD use Sahilm's tactic of posting his pictures backwards--
ret's see... brack wire here, red here..

.I wonder what interesting chineseisms will result from- Hand & Robot made in the USA !

I just saw that Got Vapes has the Chinese rip off of the Empire mod in stock. Hopefully the Billet Box will slip under their radar.
Hi Doug,
Just curious if you think/want the Billet Box to remain in the realm of the Zenisis (high demand/low availability) or if you're shooting to have inventory available for all of us addicts in a VERY!! short period of time. I mean it looks like you're doing EVERYTHING by hand on a single CNC - (Oh, before I forget "Holy heck Man! Your Billet Box is a freaking work of art and an engineering feat unsurpassed by none!! Mad props to You and your team") and it looks like a lot of work that would take months just to make 100 pcs. All of which I'm sure would sell out in less than 24 hrs. leaving many feeling depressed and despondent for months on end.
I mean, I work full time, have a family, etc. and can't be at my computer 24/7 waiting for the one 30 min. period at 7:17p on Wednesday night every 3-4 months that you might do a limited release. So, tell you what...I'm just going to leave my credit card here and you just go ahead a charge whatever you need to and I'll just look for it in the mail in a bit.. OK??

haha im with you man. i really wish production could ramp up just so i could get one also
If my maths are correct it appears we are in the MID-o-Feb! WHOOT-I'm bout to poop.. er pop!
me tooo!, the latter. i'm feelin bad for these guys that wanna get in on this, not bad enough to give away or sell mine after i get it, but i do understand their torment
Its almost time!!!! I can't hardly contain my excitement. I have a local vape meet on the 24th so I hope I get mine by then. I would love to show it off.
It is indeed mid Feb!
But, im thinking the grand shipping out of all the BB's to their anxious and excited owners is now much more likely to be the later end of Feb. Last update was that Sir Doug of Dino was waiting on the carbon fibre, and im sure there is still much to be done to finish those beautiful boxes off before they are ready to leave the nest...

i donno man, from what he said, they're already polished, we've seen all the internals except the brass ring and the "cosmetic" cover & dial for the circuit,(and carbon fiber of course), batteries are in, he showed chargers but i don't think he mentioned if they all arrived, still no word on carto's, but thats really it! Not hard to imagine that a few might be shipping out next week for the first pre-orders. Not tryin to be overly optimistic, but if there's no problems, logic shows promise!
while i make love to my girlfriend tonight for V day, i will imagine she is the billet box, and i'm filling that tank for the first time, ... alright maybe lines have been crossed
