I have to agree about those tank seals. Even though my tank seals looked perfect, they were worn and damaged from repeated insertion of the diver and other devices. Wouldn't not have thought so by looking, but after replacement, no more leak issues. I even use a tool to insert and remove the diver, but still minor abrasions or pinching damage the seal. Went ahead and replaced all my tank seals and now have zero leak issues. Highly recommend buying extras on those care kits! Just grabbed two more this week.

I need help! So I am using the billet bridge and I love the vape, ease of use ect as I explained before but!

I can't stop it from leaking, it literally comes right out of my drip tip if I tip it upside down and it runs down the back of my tank. I have the v3 upgraded brass screw top.

My first thought was I didn't have them pressed together all the way but I'm 99% sure I do. Anyone else experience this and figure out what it was?

I had it happen once, and I was on about my 4th or 5th tank refill when it happened. I did run the tank almost empty this particular time also. which I hadn't with the previous 3 or 4 refills. I also was using the new brass screw top. It emptied the balance of what was left in the tank all over the place, batts, out the air intake slits, etc...

I put the older, original brass screw top in, and I'm on my 4th tank refill and haven't had any issue yet. I haven't run the tank low yet, going to try to run it almost out and see if it dumps the rest or not. I'll reply back here if it does. If not, I'll just leave the older screw top in and try various things to try to reproduce the spill.

Still using the original coil head as well, haven't changed it out yet and the flavor is still close to original after all those tanks....

soooo... ive been using my BB for about 2 weeks now, its great. havent touched my mech mods since (i dont even know where it is actually..)

anyway, id like to get in on the billetbridge scene, just wondering how anyone who has it/tried it like it so far.
it seems the group consensus is that its great, but has anyone found any downside to it?

i thought about diver v2, but.. i dont really want to start building coils again.. i love the quick/easiness of replacing cartos..
so i figure id ask before they're back in stock....

OH and how much was it when you guys ordered it and had it shipped here? the website says €20,00.. but when i converted it in google, it says $2000 something... im guessing its supposed to be €20.00

AND anyone found a solid carto you guys like? ive tried every carto thats out there and.. im not very impressed with the flavor.. its good, but i think it could be better... ive tried pre punched and also tried punching it myself, but with a few juices, im getting a burnt flavor as they dont wick probably and see myself punching one too many or bigger holes where it floods...

btw, when i switched to vaping, the guy at the shop said "in the long run, vaping is not only healthier alternative, but you'll end up saving ton of money as you wouldnt need to buy packs of cigarettes after another".. what a load of bull -_- its becoming a very expensive "hobby"

20 EUR currently converts to about 27.61 USD. Many years of work-related necessity finds me here, 10-20 times per day:

Cartos are a funny challenge. Everyone likes different things. I prefer the pre-slotted variety, as they're the only ones that can keep pace with me (without dry hits or burning). My preference is IKV, but I also find Boges quite acceptable.

The cost of vaping starts high, but then greatly lowers as you progress. In almost 2.5 years, I'm now exactly at 65% (two full-time vapers in the house) of what I would have spent on smokes, and I've gone hog-wild with purchases. With just a bit of self-control, that number would be much closer to 30%.

The blue line (below) is what we were spending on smokes, averaged monthly. The purple/pink represent our actual vaping expenses (closely monitored).

Point being, don't let the early costs deter you. Once you find your groove, you should be able to save a ton (if you don't follow my lead).

Good luck, and I hope you hang in there. The ride is well-worth it (at least IMO).

:( i can't go through check out!!! I've been trying to buy a tank from the site but every time I go through check out it tells me that my information don't match the credit card. I called visa and they told me my Information are ok but the site does let it go through. FYI my billing address is in a different country than the delivery address but visa told me that this was no problem. If only BB used paypal. I'm very sad

Yeah, much of the rest of the world swaps the usage of period and commas, it's 20 EUR.

There is a BilletBridge doing an America Tour, I can add you to the list of folks who will receive it to try it out. In fact, I might be sending a second one out in the next few days as well. PM me if interested.

nice chart! i should really start keeping track of my spendings and what not.. im thinking at this point, ive spent a bit more than i wouldve if i kept smoking. i kept finding out about new toys and couldnt resist.. started out with a few mech mods, then came a phase where i bought a few RDAs and RBAs.. im thinking im pretty settled with my BB tho. but then again, i would not have seen myself using a box mod back when i first started vaping.. so who knows? *shrug

yeah that's what i thought too. feel dumbbb now.. course it wouldnt cost $2000.
anyway, PM sent regarding the billetbridge tour, i am VERY interested!

I didn't think it was possible...you have out-geeked me...but, I will say, I would have plotted it as cumulative expenses....you get right on that, kthnxbai...
