White would be really sweet. Maybe instead of anodize. He could use cerakote like the provari's or zencote. That would be cool as well.
a clear BB tank is #1 on my wish list now that the bridge is never leaving my BB again, im always fumbling around trying to make sure its lined up, being able to see it would sure help, and a chance to swap out my button would be nice. I like customizing things which is one of the reasons i was drawn to vaping, the lack of ability to change the BB is both a blessing and a curse, easy daily user but never changes. my artistic nature keeps screaming "MUST CHANGE EVERYTHING"

The clear faced tank is something I want so bad that I even checked to see if I could just buy one of the clone tanks, but no as far as I can tell. I don't want the clone BB, just the tank, they also sell a adapter for it to use regular attys, that I would like to try also, but also no. I know that piece is also a ripoff of someone here, but they never sold it.

On the colors, I'm absolutely in love with the anodized ones, and I'm just thrilled he came out with them. Whatever he does next might also get my attention, but I'm sure not selling my raw one.
On the whole issue with the screw, I need some of y'all that have the modder and/or scientific minds. Kat brought up the possibility that I caused my own problems by trying to remove the screw with a full tank. She doesn't know enough to be sure though, so we're both kind of curious. The fact is that I'd PREFER using the o-ring, because of the leakage, and am wondering...
Is it possible that the vacuum created inside the tank made it difficult for the Bridge to release from the screw? If so, I'm going to try the o-ring screw again.
If anyone has knowledge in this area and would care to chime in, there are (at least) four very interested ears.
Thanks and good night!

I happen to know someone ... Ahemmmmmm ... That would trade a clear faced tank for a Billet Bridge!
J U S T throwing it out there! LOL!
(Ohhhhhhhh HUSH ... Snake Man! ;-) )
(smh)
You DO realize you'd have had one by now if...
JUST SAYIN'! Luvya....
theres no vaccum on either side of the o ring you get airflow on one side through the drip tip, and the inside of the billet box has no vacuum, i believe the issue stems from cleanliness... too much of it. when we fill a carto we will inevitably get a little juice on the metal where the o ring seals, lubricating it and making it easier to move. with the billet bridge we are lubing tank rings and then inserting an otherwise clean bridge into a BB with a clean o ring. it goes down easy because its squeezing the bridge and goes unnoticed how dry it is due to mechanical advantage of threads. then when the brass ring is unscrewed the brass ring has a grip on the bridge upper while the tank rings are all lubed up.
so short story... brass ring grips, tank ring slips, juice drips
i suggest using minimal juice on tank rings and lube that brass ring really well

Right back at ya, ####'s. Will bump your threads again in the morning, if still there.

Thanks, AR. I'll try lubing it up.
(Go ahead, Snake. That there's what's known as a softball)
It's not vacuum. The oring seats inside the Billet Bridge tube, just like a carto.
The first thing I don't understand is why you're trying to take out the Billet Bridge with a full tank. The limitation of the Billet Birdge is that you can't change it or take it out until the tank is empty or at least pretty low.
If you leave the oring in you shouldn't have leakage. If you take the oring off you will have leakage. If you try to take the Billet Bridge out with a full tank you will have a mess.
I guess I'm confused and don't understand what you're trying to do or why you're having problems? You have to use the bridge and understand and accept the limitations and proceed accordingly. Seems simple to me. Maybe I'm just missing something.
Ding, ding, ding, ding........ With the Billet Bridge you'll have to clean it when it's empty or almost empty. It's not rocket science.
The original problem posted was the Billet Bridge catching on the o-ring when removing the brass screw and coming out with it... I don't think anyone was trying to remove the Billet Bridge intentionally with a full tank.
edit: I'd assume they wanted to remove the tank from the Billet Box.
and dammit I even confuse myself with "BB" abbreviations between the Box and Bridge. lol
edit2: oh nevermind, they wanted to clean it, doh!

Yes with a full tank using the Billet Bridge. Which is very tough to do without making a mess.
Diver should arrive any day now!
I really can't wait... cartos have been good, but they're just not the same as the Sophia I've been using on my Provari.
I'm also one of the crazy people who forked out for that fancy looking BB case from Atmistique. lol
Up 'til now all I've had to carry stuff was an ego-style case I got with my original vaping gear.
Seem to be getting around half a day or more on a pair of the Eagletac batteries.
If they keep up like that another couple of weeks I'll be buying more, and telling other poor Aussies who can't get hold of the black AWs that these are a viable alternative.

I dunno. I think I shall be the voice of contention here. I see no reason one can't remove the tank, full, 1/2 full, or nearly empty if it has the B Bridge in it. That makes absolutely no sense to me, and I've removed mine in all of those states with no prob. Why Snakeness? Why "should" that be an issue?
To be clear, I'm talking about removing the tank, with B Bridge installed, from the B Box. I'm not talking about removing the B Bridge from the tank (in any state of fullness of liquid).
Ok, so my vacuum theory was just conjecture and a stab in the dark as to what might be going on. It had to be an issue with either that, or the O-rings, and if it is in fact an O-ring issue, then why is it not across the board? I don't see any limitations when using the B Bridge. I may be more confused than before now.
Perhaps AR's recommendation of lubing the screw O-rings is the ticket.
I just tried to repeat the situation. I could FEEL a bit of a pull between the tank and the screw as I unscrewed it. I put pressure on the tank, and slowly continued unscrewing the screw. It was rather like burping a tupperware container. Success. (more screws in this post than Mustang Ranch, sheesh)
All that said, sorry, DPL, I will continue to make up possible scenarios in my own most UN-scientific way.

iPhone pecker, deary? I really DO need to get out your way one of these daze.

DP's got a softball!!!!!!!!!! (your turn, Snakeness)
B Box. B Bridge. (Language, at your service, by KD)
My brain is seriously running slow today.
AHA! You live in MY universe!
