Almost 2 years of trying to get one. I finally was able to order one today. can not wait. What do you guys like for cells in your BB. Which seem to last the longest and so on. I wanted the blacked out one. But this black and Salsa red matches my Street car mint. Now to also decide what rebuildable atomizer to get for it haha

Welcome to BB'Ville, BigWill! And I can tell by your "860" that we're not close neighbors. Nonetheless, nice to see another river-person here. Hope you enjoy your new toy! :toast:

I kind of think I should tell you guys, that Billie from By Leo, has ordered one of these today. I kind of hope that he will design something just for the BB, once he gets one. He has not said this, but just wishful thinking on my part. I have the Sophia working in mine, but it was not really designed for this.

In a moment of madness last weekend, after reading about the apparently wonderful new Aspire Bottom Vertical coils, I disassembled my solitary used karto, and made a vertical coil from a length of G-Plat which I bought by mistake thinking it was Kanthal some weeks ago. G-Plat is very expensive - being a noob, I didn't realise, about $10 for 6 feet - and made from a different metal blend from Kanthal. The blend is a trade secret but is reckoned to have a much higher Manganese content (which if absorbed is none to good for one's health). It's more malleable than Kanthal, keeps its shape much better, has lower resistance, and heats faster - so I thought I'd use it to experiment.

I removed the stuffing and wire from the inside of the karto, and the bottom pin and insulating washer; then made a 20-wrap (!) coil, about an inch long, with the tails sticking straight out at either end: 3 ohms. I rolled this up in cotton wool, and manoeuvred coil and wool into the karto body, until the bottom tail popped out through the bottom end. I fed this tail through the insulating washer and the bottom pin (had to cut the top of the pin off; it's hollow) so it would connect to the copper contact point below the BB's tank. The top tail I bent slightly so it would touch the karto body (for earth connection) and keep the vertical coil centred. Soaked for a few minutes, and fired.

Well, it "worked". The first draw produced vapour; the second quite a lot of vapour, similar to the volume from my usual Bridge or Diver set-up.

At this point, lucidity returned - I realised the coil might shift and short out, and trash the BB's regulator, or the batteries might not take the strain. So I hastily removed the device, and have been vaping since only on the Diver, which is rather sedate but very safe...
