This sucks for those of us in Ca that really want one of these! I understand the point and ruined for everyone else by a few asshats. I been eyeing one of these for a while, but now I'm screwed....

your not, it's temporary, that's why our website said "temporary".. as in not'n'forver'en (that's german for temporary).. might have just been this batch.. not my call.... It DID what it was supposed to do though... 40 something cancelled orders will now be getting shipped to people who actually want the thing (like Ireland guy, way to go Ireland guy!!!), compared to the maybe 5 legitimate CA orders.... Eventually we may stop caring, we get a lot of shít for doing our best to resolve a problem THAT EFFECT OUR CUSTOMERS (aka: not we, ourselves). It doesn't hurt my feelings that flippOsauruses can sell my toy for a lot more than what they paid, kinda flattering actually..... see, i'm blushing... or i have to poop, one of the two....

there is another approach,... jack the price 50 bucks, sell to only retail stores, and cut the cord with customers......
but i really like most our customers... so i guess this is all my fault.... (*sob*)

You are at max capacity, and every couple of months have product that sells out in 5 minutes. Nice for you, but are you planning on expanding so a regular Joe can just stop by and buy one? Someday??

expanding to the point where everyone who wants one now could have one, would result in outsourced mass produced shít... and i don't make shít, it's desirable for a reason... it's well made, by people who make every part, so it all works together.. that takes time and people who care... when we stop caring, i'm sure there will be plenty of stock on the shelves.

So, to answer your question, no, probably not for a long time... but your post has it's number facts pretty far off,,, if you cared about getting your hands on one as much as i cared about making them, i'm 177.7% sure you would have one.

DD of BB...

I apologize, but I can not think of a funny way to say this.

YOU, Mr. BB creator, are simply awesome. What absolutely comes thru in your work, in your posts, in your humour, in your pics/updates, is just how much you really DO care. Not only does the B Box set you apart from the herd... you set you apart from the herd. Who you are is truly in this creation. I see it time and time again, and it makes me proud as hellsbells to own one.

When does the avatar get thin again? ;) Methinks there should be a belly reduction going on pretty soon, eh?

thank you Kat... very much
meowze'z got it right with the "sympathy tummy"...Sooooooo, if everything works super to schedule, the belly will go down on Halloween (cool right? i super timed that!) but if we factor in production setbacks, raw stock availability (ice cream, bread and nutella), factor she already made it thought the full moon....should be....... ehh, no clue..... but yah, super tired of the fat dino...

Well, I guess I was lucky. I only found out about the Billet Box a couple of days ago and was quite diligent in checking the website a few times a day for updates. My viligence paid off! Can't wait to get it in the post!

You are very much an exception to the rule.

Don't know if this has been asked before but would menthol be ok in the standard BB tanks or is it a no no?
Thanks for any help

It should be, I used a lot of menthol before. I haven't used it on the BB, but I haven't seen it etch anything like licorice or cinnamon.

This is a quandry for me, actually. See, I haven't exactly babied the first one so it's got it's share of dings and scuffs and such. While it's certainly designed too be pretty (and functional) by its nature the body material shows wear pretty easily. So I haven't worried too much over it; like I've said before, it's a vaping tool and I've gotten to not minding much that it shows that it's been used and carried and pocketed and occasionally dropped.

But this new one ... she's a "Sunday-Go-To-Meetin'" beauty. So I'm taking some precautions.

First thing after her unboxing portraits, she got J-Wrapped. This will help in that the wood front and back are fully covered.

But on the sides, ALL of the edges and corners remain exposed ... which is where the bulk of the "character" on the first one is. So I guess she's be shirt-pocket only, no pants pockets with keys, coins, spare mags, throwing spikes, caltrops, makibishi, etc.

(Yes, you saw "spare mags" in the list. So if you're planning to cut me, better get close fast -- at least until your profile cross section is reduced for a less obvious center-of-mass. . . . :) )
