~The Billet BoX~

[Nate Rager]

My Billet box ships tomorrow! Can't wait. I'll post the pics when it gets here... Yes, I know you've seen the bb.. But you haven't seen mine! I'm hoping my batteries, cartos, and drip tips beat it here so I can use it as soon as I get it. Gonna be so nice to be able to leave my svd in my tool box as a backup mod.

So my batteries just arrived. These things are tiny compared to the 18650s I'm used to. It's putting in perspective how small this mod is and I love it. Now i just realized my charger will not work with these. What charged do you guys recommend?

Thanks raq. Don't have my BB yet but ordered the batteries. Good to know they will work in my Intellecharger i4.

I think Xtar VP1 is da bomb!!! Three different charging mode (.25, .5 and 1A) and voltage and battery level display. Ever since I bought this one, I haven't been using other chargers I have.

Here is a pic of the BB case I mentioned earlier. He made the prototype way faster than previously thought, which was great. So anyway, the case is on the way to my home. Once I get it and confirm everything fits and functions properly with the BB, he will make more. From the pics, I think it turned out excellent!

You might want to check out this page from Billet Box website. IMR batteries do not have the built in protection circuit to limit the current in a short or too low resistance situation. You need the black with silver label AW batteries.

Dang wish I would have saw that link. I researched for a couple of hours before I ordered the imrs. Just ordered 6 icr123a batteries. Thanks for that info. Gonna check lighthounds return policy now.

Ok all you carto lovers...

I got tired of messing with the Diver so I plopped a slotted boge 3.0 ohm carto in this little bundle of sexy'ness and it's actually not as bad as I remember cartos being..

Pretty decent vape actually...

Now it's been forever and a day since I tried / used a carto (prob 3 years) so it looks like advancements have been made in the ye old carto front..

No problem. Just FYI, I use RTD Vapor for my batteries. They have always treated me good. I had one battery with a faulty protection circuit (cut off too low on current), they sent me a new one with no hassle. I like the AW and the eFest protected batteries.

 

[Katdarling]

Thumbs up, plus one, and yes yes yes to RTD Vapor. Excellent products and customer service.

 

[Nate Rager]

I'll have to order a set just to try em out. This forum hasn't steered me wrong yet... My bb should be on a plane somewhere between Utah and me right now........

Along the lines of batteries, what cases do you guys use to carry extra 16340 batts? I am having a heck of a time finding a decent case, let alone a pcc.

Something like this? It will hold 4 16340 batteries..

Solar Force Battery Case - Holds 4 x CR123's or 2 x 18650's
