Not much going on today. Waiting now on the Dr. to call me back after he reviews the xrays. Not sure if my daughter will be able to continue in the Color Guard for the schools marching band.

Is it time to pull out the spotting scope to stalk the post office? LOL Living way out away from town has it merits but they don't deliver mail out here.

Sense I got my BB I have been reading the thread from the start, I am on page 1123, it is really cool looking at all the production pics, and seeing what it takes to make these. It is amazing. I also would like to say that I have been using a sophia in mine with the short tube, for about 2 weeks. I had a few problems at first, but I think I have it figured out, and is working great. I would like to try a higher ohm coil in it, but no leaks at all, I open the juice control up until the sophia will just barely fit and I get no dry hits, back to reading. :)

I have been using it as is, I am using 50/50 juice, and I open it up so it just fits in the box, and that is fine for me. The brass piece will stick up a bit more though. you can still open it up more, once it is in the box, but it is a pain if it the sophia gets stuck, it happened once and made a mess. You can't use the fill valve, though you have to top fill, would be nice to get a few of the no valve tanks for this one.

I've heard good things about the Sophia. Does the short tube let you use that without cutting out down? I thought those had to be modified for use in the BB.

I can't say I love the flavor I'm getting from cartos. I'm getting good vape but muted flavor.

Kas, you gave me the idea to use my Sophia in my Billet Box. I picked up a clear BB tank in the classifieds and ordered a short Sophia tube and some drip tips with double O-rings. I replaced the top O-ring of the tank with a red silicone ring but had a hard time twisting the Sophia body because the red ring was much too tight. Finally had to wrap some teflon tape around the O-rings of the drip tip so I could turn the juice control. Although I eventually got it working, it was a real PITA. My brass nut stuck out a couple of millimeters and I had no problem filling through the fill port. Doubt if I'll keep using the Sophia because my Diver2's are working so well in the BB.

With the Dbl 0-ring drip tips and Leo's red 0-ring I had no problems operating the juice control.:confused: The clear tank would be nice to have for this. The brass piece does grab a hold of the sophia, but I never had it turn the control, when removing the brass piece, I just let it pull up on sophia till it pops out. I have used the fill valve, but with the control open, juice will come out of the bottom of the sophia, so I just top fill. :)

What the heck is all that foo foo crap? :p

OHH! You must mean that drip tip, right?? :blink:




It is black black black... so sweet and a neat history to go along with it. This little piece of wood sat on the bottom of the Ouachita river for 50 to 200 years before it was recovered. Hard to believe this is white oak. It's blacker than black.

(What's blacker than black? Hey ya, what's cooler than being COOL?!)





Wow totally matching color of the case. Beauty!! I guess Marie Antoinette would have been totally jalous. ;-)


WOULD have been? Oh narcotic, she IS! But I distracted her with cake, so she's a happy puppy.


And one more enormous thank you for the pretty FIRE case that is from one of our own ... thank you, honey! It's the perfect holder for my BALD TREASURE..... thank you!!!! :wub:

No I wasn't referring to the black drip tip. :closedeyes: That's probably the only thing that wasn't foo foo. ;)

I have finally caught up and read the whole thing, that took a while, I thought I was keeping up with current posts, while I was reading the old ones. I guess I missed one, post number 11951 by The Doug Dino Dude (the turquoise post) I don't want to quote his whole post but this part is cool.

(Starting next week i am going to start full time (mostly) designing and prototyping. First things first, I want a glass faced tank for the BB. I ordered a bunch of different types of glass and i'll just see what i can do with it. With so many nice looking rebuilds and adapters for the BB i want to have a tank that shows um off a bit..)

Woohoo! the designer is designing again!
