~The Billet BoX~

[finagle69]

I'm much more of a "breaker" than a "builder", so I'm kind of with Peter on this one. But that doesn't mean I don't admire all the stuff that I can't do.

If Aspire (or possibly Kanger, depending on how Dan's perform) would now come out with 3.0 heads, it'd be the final straw for me. I've only held off because of the battery impact.

Continuing to be impressed as I sit back and wait to click "buy Now". Creativity rocks.

Watching, waiting...

The battery impact is the same as long as you set the voltage to the same power level. So that's really a non-issue.

I was vaping the Bridge at a little lower, but not a ton. I was definitely flying through batteries. I'm not saying that'll be the case for everybody, but it definitely was with me. LOVED the flavor but wrestled with the batteries. I've had my finger on the Buy button about 400 times since sending Kata's tester off to Akdare.

It's inevitable, I know...

I have two going to testers, and one in mine. Once I get feedback from testers I plan on making a run of 100 at the end of the month. Will keep yall in the loop.

Dan

Definitely in. I'll get on that list right away. Can't wait to get the feedback from the testers.
Great job my man.

Take care.

Hoping I can get on the list also!

Call me slow? Is there a major difference between this and the 'billet bridge' - or simply your own design? Does it work basically the same? I too am curious? I (so far) am a carto guy due to simple ease of use. But more simple, cheaper monthly costs, and perhaps even more flavor is always a good thing. What of these will this design accomplish? I am not a coil-builder, or hobbyist, but rather simply a vaper rather than a smoker.

This allows the use of a protank head which is easy to rebuild as whatever type of coil you like. The bbridge uses aspire heads which are very tough to build on. That's the difference. That said, the bbridge works very well.

First off the difference is as was stated the ARO or Kanger heads are easier to rebuild. I only run cotton wicks so even a new coil head I tear apart and rewick and coil (better flavor with cotton) silica wicks are crap IMHO. Second ease of insertion and removal, will post a vid on inserting and removing in a BB tank. ARO coil heads are preferred as the ring is smaller and does not need to be ground down plus the ARO's are 1.8-3.0 ohms see link.
Third, cheaper and made in the USA! I am going to sell the first batch of 100 in a co-op at cost 13.00 is how much the two pieces cost to have manufactured. I am not in it for the money, but to get everyone on a device that is cheap and easy to use/rebuild but is quality made.

Hope this helps answer your questions.

I've got the Bbridge and I have protanks and aero tanks. I like them all bit I'm leaning toward the kangers more. I would love to be able to stay with one though, cheaper is cheaper.

I'm wondering about the new kanger aero mini and mega tanks and heads.
They really look promising and I believe compatible with the current aero tanks (not sure though).
Pbusardo's video and taking apart of these new heads look like a combination of the aero & aspire though there are some differences. Was wondering if these new heads will work with what you're planning for the billetbox. What do ya'll think?

I want on your list scuba please.

NOW we're talking!! Single coil (right?) and 3.0 ohm = Better battery life (just like a SR carto)! And cheaper than the Aspire coils. PLEASE put me on your list Scuba! Thank you!!!

That's pretty awesome!! Count me in for one too.

I've been using the BBridge almost exclusively for the last 3 weeks or so.. Changing juices (villain stuff which I think is 50/50, and Bobba's VG) and I'm pretty happy.. Some mucking with it and some harsh hit moments but over all an enjoyable thing.. I've also been playing with washing out and using again and so far I'm on 2 weeks with a single head.

I went to the bbridge because the Diver V2 was not working for me at all.. Dry hits all the time and leaks everywhere... I haven't ordered the V1 pin which I read helps out.. but after reading the electrical tape idea.. I loaded up my no hole tank and so far no issues at all.. Just loaded it so may be too soon to call....

I'll keep you all posted.

Ok here is the ease of use part lol
A carto vs the atty I designed inserting and removing them from the BB tank

Just watched the vid .....

WANT even more!!!! LOL! ( 2 please! ;-) ) Great job Dan!

Amazing!!! ^^^^

Here is a thread where this is being discussed in case things get lost here, like they typically do in a few days.

Congratulations to everyone who was able to grab one yesterday. And I've encouraged by the duration for which they remained available. I believe we're all hoping the same thing here; that being it was due to increased production.

In which case I'll also off congratulations to our favorite dinosaur.

And since my most recent probation officially ended yesterday, I can't help but wonder if those orange-trimmed beauties might be out there somewhere, over the rainbow.

That that, Kata ;-)

Speaking of Kata, have we any reports on the Bridge? I remain curious, and can't imagine that I'm the only one who is. Educate us, please, if possible. Thanks!

The last of the testers should be receiving the Bridge, if they haven't already done so. I believe everyone who tried one has ordered their own, and posted impressions here as well.

 

[Akdare]

Please put me down for the co op, too.

Thanks!

 

[Hrathor]

I'm in for 1 or 2

update on Diver V2 .. good news is no dry hits at all with the no hole tank... but the leaking still happens a lot.. so I guess I do have to go order a V1 pin and then hopefully it will be all good to go... much bigger flavor and hit for me with the diver, but I do like the Bbridge a lot for convenience

 

[SilentEcho13]

Dan, awesome work you've done there.

I've had some bad luck with my diver v2. I'll definitely be getting in on your group buy once it's live.

 

[Silverdove]

Scubabatdan would you think this would keep moist for even someone that can't take long pulls or draws on the device?
My intake or draw is really bad right now due to problems and allergies on top of that. Have went to watering down my juice just to keep
from burning up cartos or getting dry nothing. Miss my flavor and vapor. Put me down for a couple anyway too. Thanks

Make sure your o-rings are good, they should be so tight, that it is hard to remove or insert device. Also a small file or dremel can be used to deepen the channel at the bottom of the pin which works just as good as v1 pin. I did that to all my v2 pins and they draw just fine.

The draw on this atty is very light not stiff at all, the cotton IMHO is perfect for a bottom wick as it should never go dry. Cotton should be semi loose and not packed in. Too tight and the juice will not flow hence dry hits. The one thing I love about cotton is it swells up, I have run my current cotton wick for over 2 weeks now, no dry hits and no leaks. I suppose with a lighter than normal draw you would have to play with varying degrees of cotton amounts as far as thickness to get the perfect balance for your drawn versus wick saturation.

If you are not the rebuilding kind, then I would recommend the 3.0ohm ARO heads as the higher ohms will result in lower temps at the coils, so the risk of dry hits are minimized, also the battery life will be increased.

Hope this helped.
