Thanks for the link, but I really need to get a multi meter, or voltage/ OHM meter thingy, I need it for my coil building, for my Sophia's I zap my own coils, and having one would be very useful, I have been just using my provari's to check the ohms.

Kemosabe puts us on this this REALLY COOL little thing that I use ALL THE TIME. Especially for the BB batteries. It's cheap, easy and who care if it breaks? Mine's lasted quite awhile already, so I go my money's worth. I'll get another if I ever end up needed one.

Yeah, I've got one of those too. You can get them fairly cheap from Amazon if that fits your bill. I just don't want or need to be bothered pulling it out, since it's usually just to test my BB batteries that I need something.

Has anyone ever had a set of the aw irc 123 16340 batteries, go bad after they after just 4 months old? My charger Xtar VP2 says that they are charged but they don't work. :confused:

KAS
Make sure you don't leave them lying around without a full charge. Li-ion batteries deteriorate faster in an uncharged state. Also get them from a reputable dealer because I've gotten some that were supposed to be a good brand that did what yours did. I think they rebrand their junk.

I got mine from RTD vapor so they are not fakes, I charge them once a day. I just wonder if the protection thing kicked in on them or something. My provari's use the aw 18 series unprotected, and I am still using the ones I bought in July of 2013. I guess if the protection thing kicks in is the battery history? I have been wondering, if The voltage regulator in my BB could be wearing out, because I am using a 3 ohm coil (set to 4 volts) and I have to take quick short puffs with it or it seems too get to hot. That is another reason I want the volt meter to see what the output is.

That's what I was thinking. I cut that off the ones in my BBox. They're too long with it on and I'm not worried about it.

i got my volt/ohm meter from Radio Shack. Been a good one.

It's the black with flame trustfires I like. I've been using the ones I got about 4 yrs. ago. They outlasted every other battery I've used. They also give me more vaping time. They are too tight in a billet box.


Welp as a Darling Kat puts it. Im Tired. Nite nite.

I want to put this Billet Bridge in my BBox but this Nitro I cut down is working so damn good I hate to take it out until it goes south if it ever does. Thrifty? I know the resident reptile will call it cheap instead of thrifty.

Somebody call? :yawn: You could always take the carto out, wrap it up in plastic wrap so you can reuse it. :2c:

Okie Dokie DD post' update about The BoroTank for this weekend.

I would like to try one, but I'm not sure about the cons. Wonder how expensive they'll be. I won't be able to get one this weekend though cause I'll be away all day saturday :(. Get to go to the Holiday Christmas Village to window shop. Lot's of walking and looking not much buying this year. I just started new business a couple days ago so now I'm busted for a couple months anyways.

so I decided to play around with the spare clone BB shell I have since I scavenged the clear tank from it for my BB, I managed to fit an 18650 in there and 15ml of juice and a dna40 and mock this one up as a BBBF . the 18650 fits about flush to the outer carbon fiber sheet, just need to mill out a little aluminum to give it that extra 2mm it needs. I'm thinking I can make a custom 510 that will recess the atty to half in/half out for an even lower profile than this, but even as-is it's slimmer and shorter than a reo and it holds 2.5X the amount of juice.


as I played around with different configurations I've also been able to fit the 18650 and the stock BB tank and a dna in there too, next chance I get I plan to pick up 2 more real BB's and make one a BF and one with the stock bb tank setup with a dna and 18650. I really like these lil boxes :)

Yippee, the glass is comin'! Altho, still a Delrin tank fan, I'm excited to use the new glass tanks.

willowizer, there are cons - primarily the fragility, of course. They just need to be treated as glass. :blink: So no more pressing on the face to feed the coil. That's a definite no-no! The second con is the inability to refill while the tank is inside the B Box.

Other than that, they could KLEARLY be a winner!

It's easier that way anyway. and what's cool is the door slides open just like the Billet box. They belong together.

I just read about it on the site, I really do not have the cash, but I have been waiting for too long to get a clear face tank, I will at least order one, I really want about 3 of them, I am not sure, depends on how much they cost.
