~The Billet BoX~

Just a side note as this is my favorite thread full of wonderful people.

While my BB is my primary device, I had heard so much good news about the "nautilus", that I decided to buy one to try. Using it on my ProVari I've found it to be quite a pleasure, and much nicer than a carto/tank combo. It's still early days, on my first tank now, but if it doesn't do the usual nasty things clearos seem to do, this might be a nice change. The 'AFC' on it on it's most open setting seems to give a nice airy draw for those that like them. Will be interesting to see if the stock heads do any better than the heads on the B Bridge.

Hi, same for me, the BB is my favourite and i have the Nautilus too but not a BBridge. I use Boge Cartos but i am more then happy since i open up the airhole just above the thread of the carto. I cut another slice inside the Carto itself just 8-10mm above the cartotube itself. I use a Dremel with a cuttingwheel. Try it and you will be surpised. I never liked Cartos but since i do this, i love them . I have a Diver too but in another device, it is too soft for my taste.

narcotic,
Where exactly do you cut a slice inside the carto?
Any pictures?

I have bad hands - which is why I do not build coils and such. Today I can't even use my beloved BB, can't fire it without a finger locking (thumb too) - long story [...] surgery #5 coming on the 24th right knee replacement this time.

Just checking in to make sure I haven't missed anything. Haven't been any contests, so good to go there.

A bit of info for the budget-minded carto users out there:

Desert Vapes is (maybe has been) selling Boge slotted cartos in 2.1/2.8 ohm for $0.95 each, with very reasonable shipping.
No coupons that I could find but at that price you don't really need one.
Even though I hope to Sabot soon, replenishing my standard stock level at this price was a no-brainer.

Exhalsior!

I feel your pain..I had rt. knee replaced at age 36 (Long story, 20 yrs at UPS will take a toll on a body), then developed RSD / CRPS after that surgery, that entirely screwed my sympathetic nervous system up and all but crippled both my wrists and fingers, along with my Rt leg. Needless to say, I have been totally disabled since around 2003 and spend my days-weeks-months with Dr. appt's, PT, meds, etc....

Makes it hard to impossible for me to build / rebuild tiny coils most days.

Delrin tanks up on site!

Happy F5'ing, F5'ers!!!

 

[skotsour]

Yes! Scored another tank. Whew.

 

[DPLongo22]

And the BB's are up (black buttons, so far).

 

[DPLongo22]

And they're gone???

 

[Kycap]

Managed to get a couple of tanks, now the wait for delivery begins again.

If you buy the accessories does the 8 week rule apply?

guys going through a bb crisis
my gf was holding it and it slipped from her hand and it his solid floor
theres a slight dink on the bottom of the bb when i tried opening it had to use alot of effort but it could still open
then when i tried closing it back. there wasnt that crisp click of the ball berring falling into place.
so i tried lubing it up with olive oil as directed. still didnt have that click. at one point the door was just stuck had to use to much energy
to actually try and yank out the cover. heart was actually in pain putting my bb through this.
the bottom part where the dink is theres a slight bump pertruding out. is this why there isnt that crisp click.
Should i leave it as it is?

A picture would get you better answers.

The red circles i have circled if u see close enough their protruding out

Thats the dink from the fall

Thats the gap after fully closed. and u can see its not fully snug can see a gap line.

The bb slides in alright up to this point i have to push it in and there isnt that crips locking sound.

hope the pictures make sense :/

As near as I can see the channel on the BB itself is what is bent. It looks as if it's not allowing the door to slide all the way in.

I think I would contact BB and ask them if this is something that they may be able to repair for you. I would say as tight as the tolerances are on the door fit it wouldn't take much for it to not fit properly.

thanks for the reply blue, i woke up this morning it was way smoother and could actually hear the click while closing. not sure what happened but way better than last night :s. THANKS .

Yuppers~! left knee, right hip replaced, right shoulder rebuilt, bad OA everywhere. Disabled since '10, finally just now getting on Medicare. Anyhow, the BB is the best device for me to use most of the time, just on really bad days, I can't fire it as easily as I can my ProVari backup (which I can't hold well) - I try to remember, it can always get worse...

The magic of the B Box. It has a hidden self-fixing mode.

Thought I'd post how I carry my BB around in my purse without any scratching (EVERYTHING scratches in my purse!). Found a little thick silk drawstring bag for jewelry that fits perfectly. Because it's soft sided, I can easily vape through it, but take it out to look at anytime (a leather pouch this size would work well too).

With the little pouch, I don't have to wrap my BB or anything (black one has a textured J-Wrap), and it keeps it pristine. Gosh the pink one is gorgeous!! The annodized ones are just stunning!!!!
