USPS is slow with updates. It's probably closer than you think.

Yeah mine has been stuck on left salt Lake City since the fourth. I'm sure it is very close, we have to remember that the holiday may have affected. Either way next week will be very good.

I want a BB, moving away from carto's and more into rebuildables but, my wife uses cartomizers on an automatic and with my discovery of the Diver makes me want one even more.

Should I just stalk the website.

It's a great device. I didn't order one the first go round mainly because I had long ago moved on from carto's. I have been pleasantly surprised by the vape I'm getting with the dual large hole Ikenvape Platinum cartos. Depends on the juice too. Boba's Bounty is a no go for me with any carto. For that, I am using my homemade rebuild-able bottom coil with stellar results.

Is only a matter of time before other re-buildable devices are available, and I'm sure Doug, or someone else will design a gennie for the BB sooner rather than later.

I just looked, and all my cartos are boge LR cartos. Can they be used in the billet box? Im not sure what the res is, and don't want to fill one just to stick it on the provari.

Yes they works , put your volt lower I'am at 4 volt give me 8 watts (longer battery live maybe)

around 2 ohm lr carto

Frag,

Don't have to fill it. Just put on your Provari, and read the ohms. Just don't fire the coil.

I thought the provari checked res by applying load, is that not the same as hitting the fire button? I know jack about cartos as you can probably tell. Thanks for any info.

Not sure about Provari, don't have one. My Vamo reads resistance direct, like a regular ohm meter, without actually firing the coil.

You raise a good question. Don't try my recommendation until you can find the answer to that question.

That is exactly right. Never check ohms on a dry filler carto with a Provari! Instant ruination.

Yeah I remember dry hitting a carto back in the beginning, and instant yuck that wouldn't wash out.

Man, getting this billet box is like being a rookie all over again for me. Still haven't used the damn thing yet. Not sure about my cartos, not sure about my diver.

Does anyone know if it's an absolute must that the flange be removed from the diver in order for use in the BB tank?

The provari does indeed fire when you check ohms or battery level. The vamo does not.

Learn something new everyday. Info stored in permanent memory for long term retrieval.

I may have posted this here before, but it's always great to watch as a review on cartos and tanks. frag, a burnt carto is definitely yuck, and once burned, nope, it cannot be washed out.

You can fast forward to about the 25 minute mark to see what will happen to your dry carto on a ProV.

Just wanted to chime in, got my BB on Friday and been loving it, great work DD!

Unfortunately it already suffered its first drop this morning while cooking breakfast, boy this thing is slick - add a little oil to your hands and its like trying to hold onto a bar of soap...

About a 4' drop on to the tile floor and one little ding and another lil scratch - breaking it in right I guess...although I'm a little saddened it was so pretty...

Its just an ID mark. If you ever spot it in a crowd, you will know it's yours.

Its damaged, you should sell it to me.

Nice try, I'm not giving it up that easily:D

Although I'm wondering if the cover is okay. It hit on the side opposite the cover but I notice a little deflection when pushing in on the top left side of the cover...Probably just being a worry wart but didn't notice this before, probably didn't try pushing in on it before though...Has anyone else noticed a little movement from their covert when pushing in on the top left side?

Wowzzzzzer OH my gosh WOW
Beautiful, elegant, built like a brick .... house. oooooooohhhhhh what more can I say. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it. It is fantastic. Don't think I will get over how much I like it.
MMMMM new juice is great too. What a fantastic day. Oh the vapor in this thing is unbelievable. Humm and I thought the Vamo was good. Had no trouble setting up. The punch I have only puts in itty bitty holes so put 2 in bottom and 1 mid way up. The only thing I was having a problem with was it was flooded after filling and tried to blow out in tank but didn't wanna fix the problem finally it did it. I held it back and just blowed into the bottom hole a bit. Did I fill too fast do you think. Working fine now sense then.

Did I miss Scuba Dan's list? I haven't tried the Diver in the Bb yet. Vaping too fantastic on my e pipe in my phiniac... Afraid to pull it apart for fear I'd never get it sst up right, but i gotta go for it. How many wraps should i attempt to get s decent standard ohm coil? Need hep here. And do i really need to cut it shorer?

Help me Scuba Dan!!!

Good Goollie Miss Molly what a wonderful thing to wake up to in the morning. (My Billet Box full of Apricot Ambition.)Didn't touch that Vamo at all last night.
I now have not so much desire to search for anything more. Oh except for a different drip tip and one of those new carto things of Dan's. LOL I think all is good in my little world of vaping. Yesterday was a win win day for me.
Is there anything I can do to tighten the DT in my picture up. It is in good and stays in but have this little bitty black stubby one that is so much tighter fit and it seems to give me more vapor on a draw. Oh yaaah found my silver shorty and now that is even better. LOL I really need to clean off this desk. I been lookin for that one for days now. Got it made now, its not to short not too long fits in tight, oh just right in my opinion. Bye all for now.
OHHH and DD of the BBs if you get back in here I love all ya all for making this beautiful thing for me. It really is a masterpiece. Aaannndd
I fell happy oh so happy, I feel like dancing and prancing around.
Sorry folk that just came to mind as I was takin another drag of the BB. Have a good day my friends.
